>>3122261>>3122268That astronaut is a big fan of Star Trek and capitalised on it a lot while she was in space, here she is when she found out Leonard Nimoy died, you can see she has her own Starfleet commbadge
Note: Star Trek used transporters because it was cheaper and faster than building a prop shuttle (which they did do eventually) and was an incredibly easy special effect to do in the fucking 60s, so NASA doing it today is in no way remarkable
