NASA Astronaut Tweets Leonard Nimoy Tribute From Space

Since Leonard Nimoy passed away on Friday, many have paid tribute to the beloved Star Trek actor. From his Star Trek co-stars to the President of the United States, Nimoy touched many lives.

While NASA issued an official statement in memory of Nimoy, NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts also did his own personal tribute to Nimoy, which is noteworthy because of where he did his tribute.

Yes, Virts tweeted the Vulcan salute for Nimoy from space. It seems appropriate that the tributes to Nimoy would not be limited to just this earthly world.
