Legendary actor William Shatner has been to space... but famed astrophysicist @neildegrassetyson doesn't want to go unless he gets to cross the Kármán line.
The pair, who developed a “bromance” on a trip to Antartica, joined Kim Masters on The Business in a sprawling two-part conversation. Their discussion ranges from Shatner’s deeply emotional journey to space at age 90 to Tyson’s personal rule for taking Hollywood jobs: say yes, because it means they still value science.
