In response to the astronaut, the same actress of Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica, Katee Sackhoff, tweeted: “We finally know what happened to Starbuck! "
Also, below you can see the complete video of the short meeting between the astronaut and the fans:
Now I'm here for my second flight, a mission called Minerva, and I thought it would be nice to remember another great space pilot. You know, I haven't seen any Cylons up here, not yet. If any come, I know exactly who to call: the best Viper pilot in the Colonial Fleet, Kara Thrace or Scorpion. I also have her dog tags here. So now we finally know what happened to her when she disappeared at the end of the series.
Battlestar Galactica
At FedCon, held in Germany in early June, Samantha Cristoforetti talked about life in space, and did so by literally putting herself in the shoes of the modern version of Starbuck, the one played by Katee Sackhoff starting from 2004. We recall that the series in question was aired for 4 seasons and led to the production of some subsequent films on the Sci-Fi Channel.The original series, we remember it , recounts the Twelve Colonies of Humanity and their long war against the robotic race known as the Cylon. When the Cylons ended the war in a sneak attack that destroyed the colonies' home planets, the last remaining capital warship, Battlestar Galactica, was forced to lead what was left of humanity in search of the lost thirteenth colony, the Terra.
