That is William Shatner's advice, given this morning in a short video released via twitter.

And it looks like there's a great deal of curiosity about this fictional character, Captain Kirk, going into space, so let's go along with it and enjoy the ride.

It's not a very exciting video really but if you've been following this story you might want to take a look.

A few new images have also been released, including one from NASA Watch with Shatner and his fellow crew in Star Trek uniforms. Links below.

Launch has been delayed half an hour since we last reported on this, to 14:00 UTC / 0:00 AEST / 1:00 AEDT.
