Rob Lowe may be the latest actor to get the chance to play astronaut.

On the most recent episode of *Hot Mics With Billy Bush*, the *West Wing* actor said he was in talks with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin to potentially travel to space.

"Wouldn't it be sick?" Lowe said.

The Brat Pack legend said that his wife Sheryl Berkoff, whom he has been married to since 1991, was not thrilled by the idea. While Lowe made it clear that he has not been offered a seat on any rocket yet, he said he would "probably" go if given the opportunity,**

"The minute we're reminded that we are all just citizens of the earth is the minute that we begin to recognize our similarities and our shared humanity," he said. "I don't mean to be too highfalutin about it, but I actually really believe that."

Lowe said he wants to share the perspective of seeing the earth from space, which he believes would be "valuable" to others.

*Star Trek *actor William Shatner, who became the oldest person to go to space during a 2021 Blue Origin flight, shared his own feelings experiencing the "overview effect," the emotional impact of seeing the world from up there.

"It can change the way we look at the planet but also other things like countries, ethnicities, religions; it can prompt an instant reevaluation of our shared harmony and a shift in focus to all the wonderful things we have in common instead of what makes us different," Shatner wrote in an essay in *Variety*.**

Celebrity space travel has been a divisive topic following Blue Origin's all-female space flight, which included Katy Perry and Gayle King, in April. The expedition involved flying to the Kármán line, or the edge of space, and lasted 10 minutes.

Regular spectators and celebrities criticized the flight, calling it wasteful and excessive.

"You say that you care about Mother Earth, and it's about Mother Earth, and you go up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet," Emily Ratajkowski said in a TikTok. "Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what?"

King defended the trip and pointed out that two of the astronauts, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and astronaut-activist Amanda Nguyen, had collected data for research.

"Every time one of those goes up, you get some information that can be used for something else," King told Extra.
