This is amazing! Look at her all nonchalant like, at the forefront of the human adventure herself and donning a Star Trek uniform!!

Let's hope in 100 years astronauts/space farers will be doing the same!

Trek on!

So awesome, I have no words, but I hope others will have the opportunity to do this in the future.

I just found that it gets better- she took the picture while recieving coffee supplies sent up from the surface. Janeway incarnate!

This measures 11 out of 10 on the cool scale.

Closest they had before that was the Japanese astronaut, Socichi Noguchi, that wore a partial Space Battleship Yamato crew uniform on the ISS in 2010.

Correct.

The Italians sent an Espresso machine designed to work in zero gravity.

There was a cool story about it on NPR a couple of days ago.

Anyone who tries to rob or diminish the message of inspiration about the future from Star Trek, and from those fans who make that future as real as possible, needs to look at that picture and so many others just like it.

I saw it last year when it was toured around in one of the science outreach festivals I was attending.

This is so us.
