Among the other Star Trek alums who have lent their voices to space documentaries is one of Pine’s fellow captains. In 2015, Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) narrated the documentary Journey to Space. Plus, Stewart previously narrated 1993’s The Planets and 1994’s From Here to Eternity: The Ultimate Voyage. Another Star Trek: The Next Generation alum who has narrated an astronomical documentary is LeVar Burton (Geordi LaForge). You can hear him narrating 2018’s In Saturn’s Rings.

But Pine isn’t the only actor to play Kirk who has narrated a documentary about space exploration. The actor who originated the role, William Shatner, has lent his voice, too. In 2023, Shatner narrated a NASA documentary called The Space Shuttle. And better yet, you can watch the whole thing online right now.
