The "Good Morning America" host is going to be on Blue Origin's next flight to space, the former NFL football player announced on the morning show Tuesday.

"Blue Origin – they approached me and they asked if I wanted to be a crew member and without hesitation, I said 'yes,' " Strahan told his "GMA" co-hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos. "I wanted to go to space!".

The 50-year-old TV personality covered the first human space launch from Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin this summer and since then, has been "enamored" with the human space travel, he said.

Strahan isn't the first familiar face to go to space. Shatner, who is best known for his role in the original "Star Trek" series and the first six films in the "Star Trek" movie franchise, blasted into space with Blue Origin in October.
