More Star Trek<\/em> actors interact with astronaut Chris Hadfield<\/strong> and a famous astronaut joins in the fun.<\/p>\n If you’re not following Hadfield<\/em>, a flight engineer from Expedition 34 on the International Space Station, on Twitter,\u00a0<\/em> you’re not only missing fabulous pictures of Earth taken from high above, but you’re also missing Star Trek<\/em>-related tweets.<\/p>\n It all began when William Shatner<\/strong> asked Hadfield if he was tweeting from outer space. “Yes, standard orbit, Captain,\u201d replied Hadfield. “And we’re detecting signs of life on the surface.”<\/p>\n George Takei<\/strong> mentioned the exchange on Facebook and Hadfield said, “With @GeorgeTakei posting about our space comms, all we need is @TheRealNimoy to beam in and we’d have an away team!”<\/p>\n Nimoy did reply, with a short “LLAP” (Live Long and Prosper) and Hadfield said, “I am not Spock either, but living and working in this spaceship comes pretty close. Life mirrors art. LLAP.”<\/p>\n Wil Wheaton<\/strong> jumped in, telling Hadfield that “If you get into trouble with Nanites when you’re in orbit, I know a guy who can help you contain them. He has experience.”<\/p>\n “Wesley, we’ve talked about you being on the bridge,” replied Hadfield. “I believe you’re needed in Engineering.”<\/p>\n Evidently enjoying the exchange, the legendary Buzz Aldrin<\/strong> chimed in addressing Hadfield and Shatner. “Neil<\/strong> [Armstrong<\/strong>] & I would’ve tweeted from the moon if we could have but I would prefer to tweet from Mars,” he said. “Maybe by 2040.”<\/p>\n “And I would have delighted to tweet you back,” said Shatner. “So we are forty-plus years too late but it’s still a pleasure to Tweet with you.”<\/p>\n Hadfield’s Twitter account can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More Star Trek actors interact with astronaut Chris Hadfield and a famous astronaut joins in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2442,2421],"tags":[5219,5195,5198,2409,2414,2415,2452],"class_list":["post-22448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-tng","category-star-trek-tos","tag-aldrin","tag-hadfield","tag-iss","tag-nimoy","tag-shatner","tag-takei","tag-wheaton"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a> Star Trek: TNG<\/a> Star Trek: TOS<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: TOS","comment_count":"2","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22448"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22457,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22448\/revisions\/22457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
