Keith’s update: Wow. Mike and I got retweeted from orbit. How cool.
Keith’s note: In space Samantha Cristoforetti honors Leonard Nimoy/Spock by continuing the Vulcan science officer tradition on ISS. Altered imagery by Michael Okuda.
Years ago, when John Grunsfeld left NASA headquarters, Mike Okuda made a “vulcanized” version of John. Everyone loved it – including (so it would seem) the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum. For a number for years, there was a copy of this faux picture adjacent to Hubble instruments on display that John had helped to bring back to Earth. It took quite some time for the Smithsonian to notice the details in the photos. Oops.
Are we just supposed to ignore the TNG com badge?

She brought it with her. Its the only *real* ST item in the picture 😉

Just make sure to keep the Tribbles off the space station. 😉
Are the Klingons on the Russian side of the station? 😉
