Nearly 3,000 space enthusiasts gathered at Seattle 's McCaw Hall to watch the real-life Captain Kirk trade witty banter with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The show originated from a spirited dialogue between Tyson and Shatner during a space-themed cruise to Antarctica last December .

The duo entertained a near-capacity crowd for almost two hours with personal stories, comic jabs and moments of reflection.

"I bawled my head off, and I realized I was in mourning for our Earth ," Shatner says.

Tyson: "If I want to go into space, I want there to be a destination in mind, not just up and back" "I'm feeling more passionately in love with him as we speak," he deadpans .
