Sixty years after the first broadcast of Star Trek, an astronaut on the International Space Station has taken a moment to honour the classic series. Expedition 75 flight engineer Sophie Adenot, with the European Space Agency (ESA), donned the Delta badge, originally worn by actor Anson Mount for his portrayal of Captain Christopher Pike in the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The ESA and Paramount+ released a video of the moment, with Adenot saying, 'For 60 years, Star Trek has brought us stories of friendship and exploration. I’m wearing Captain Pike’s badge aboard the ISS in celebration of continuing the real world work of science and exploration.' She added, 'Explore. Discover. Do it together.' For Adenot, exploration and science are about curiosity and cooperation, daring to go a little farther together, learning from what we discover and build, and turning that knowledge into a better future for everyone. She concluded with the traditional Vulcan salute, saying, 'Live long and prosper.' ESA described the pin as a small object carrying a much bigger message. 'It’s a small object, but it carries something bigger—60 years of a story that taught us to dream about exploring together,' the agency said. 'For more than 50 years, that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. We’ve sent people and machines beyond Earth, built spacecraft with partners from dozens of countries and kept asking the same question Star Trek never stopped asking: what’s out there, and what can we learn from it?'
