So, williamshatner wasn’t to pleased his ship was damaged today. NASA is blaming air and space.

Ohmygosh this makes me so happy

this is the stuff I live for

I really don’t know which pleases my soul more: 

the entirety of the US (and much of the rest of the world’s) air and space focused programs treating William Shatner as their real captain with such utter affection, 

or William Shatner playing along while lovingly pulling them all to his chest like he’s the proud patriarch of this big adventurous, geeky family.

William Fucking Shatner is a gift from the Great Bird of the Galaxy. And Canada. Thanks Canada.
