Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff reacts after real astronaut dressed as Starbuck on the ISS

While the most famous science fiction characters may not be translated very accurately when translated in real life, including Battlestar GalacticaFan-favorite Captain Starbuck, the character played by Katee Sackhoff, has truly made it into space in our reality. At least something like that. A little later Sackhoff was happy to see another of his characters referred to Danger got to see a legitimate astronaut dressing up as his iconic Battlestar Galactica character aboard the International Space Station.

Katee Sackhoff left the role of Captain Starbuck over ten years ago and did so went to other science fiction projects but fans will always be lovingly glued to his iconic Battlestar Galactica character. Apparently, these admirers include astronaut and space traveler Samantha Cristoforetti, as the space station visitor donned a Starbucks costume during a recent show on planet Earth. Sackhoff was clearly excited enough to do it release a “frak” for the homage to cool science fiction and retweeted Samatha Cristoforetti’s Starbucks video as she expressed just how extraordinary she truly is.

You can watch the video with Sackhoff’s answer on his own Twitter placed below:

As you can see from the video, this isn’t the first time astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has shown her pop culture prowess by disguising herself as an imaginary space traveler miles above Earth. A few years ago, she sent a broadcast disguised as star Trekit’s Captain Kirk … William Shatner technically went into space also, but not in disguise, and I can’t forget his dedication to sending emotions to other science fiction fans in such a unique and appropriate environment.

It’s also a completely different kind of fan dedication from the norm. Think about it: Samantha Cristoforetti obviously can’t just stop by a costume shop or order these costumes from Amazon. (Although Jeff Bezos probably has the means to send material to the ISS.) She has to think ahead enough to bring those kinds of clothes with her when she prepares to go into space. Not to mention that astronauts can only carry limited baggage and supplies, due to the weight, so technically the suits take up space that she could have used for other things that wouldn’t necessarily have caught Katee Sackhoff’s attention.

Of course, I’d like to imagine that they’re not just one-of-a-kind pieces, and that Samantha Cristoforetti’s entire wardrobe is made up of sci-fi clothes she casually wears when she relaxes and works at the Station. international space. Even if she doesn’t, it really feels like she’s living her best geek life hundreds of miles above our heads.

Now that Katee Sackhoff’s Captain Starbuck has gone to space, or at least as much as one could hope for, there are many more of her sci-fi characters that Samantha Cristoforetti can choose next time around, or maybe she already has a second Sackhoff outfit on the space station. . I must say that my vote is in favor Star Wars Bo-Katan of the franchise, which Sackhoff will continue to explore in season 3 of the Mandalorian .

Although it may be a little less exciting than living in real space, all people with a Disney + subscription will be able to capture Katee Sackhoff and the rest of the Mandalorian will air when season 3 kicks off in February next year, as we are still awaiting further updates on Peacock’s upcoming appearance. OSG quasi-reboot.
