So Captain Kirk is going up in a rocket? Why doesn't he just say, "Beam me up, Scotty?"

Can’t! The battery in his communicator went dead years ago, and he left the charger aboard Enterprise.

No, John Glenn was the oldest at 77 years of age.

Who else is on the crew?

"The names of two other members of the crew besides Shatner have also been released: Chris Boshuizen, a former NASA engineer and co-founder of Planet Labs, and Glen de Vries, a co-founder of Medidata Solutions. The two other passengers will be announced by the end of the week. " - https://greekreporter.com/2021/09/29/bezos-captain-kirk-space/

Shatner should fly SpaceX and really go to space.
