https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/07/william-shatner-earth-must-live-long-and-prosper-aoe Amazing! Phenomenal!! He had something that appears to be akin to an illumination of conscience. This article cited above about Star Trek actor William Shatner is astounding because it reveals the truth about why all this worldly fanaticism over going to Mars or some other planet in order to live there is not only…
