William Shatner hasn't seen Star Trek, he says he sees it as “as little as possible.”

“What I experienced was my observations, not flight into space,” Shatner told Fox News Digital at the time. “Everyone knows we live on a small rock and there is up to 12,500 feet of oxygen. And then when you get higher, you enter the dead zone. So the line at Kalman is 50 miles. The oxygen is two miles above. We live on a small rock.
He said, “If I had followed, we could have made this circle of rocks where we live. We can really ignore them. We have nothing. We are these little rocks, this negligible solar system next to the mediocre stars of a barely large galaxy.”
