This is Kjell Lindgren. He’s a NASA astronaut who just got back from 5 months on the International Space Station. There are two reasons why this picture is hilarious:

1. His wife is flawless and makes bad space puns to make him do household chores.
   
2. I have that shirt. Thousands of people have that shirt. That shirt is available at Target. Which means actual astronaut Kjell Lindgren, with his wardrobe already full of NASA-issued and logo-emblazoned clothes, was at Target, saw a NASA shirt, and was like, “Yes, I am buying this because this is what I want to spend my actual astronaut salary on.”

This is Samantha Cristoforetti. She is an astronaut for the european space agency. When she went up to the international space station, she smuggled in an actual star trek outfit to cosplay. All space nerds are huge fucking nerds
