“empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes” shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

I feel like it should be pointed out that she was making a specific Janeway reference here too. Her caption was, “There’s coffee in that nebula’ … ehm, I mean… in that #Dragon” because the Dragon spacecraft was delivering the first espresso machine designed to work in zero gravity to the ISS
Oh my god that’s amazing, gotta reblog for that addition.
