WELL, IT’S ALL over. William Shatner has won the internet.

He had a conversation on Twitter with someone who was actually in space.

Commander Hadfield was on the flight desk of the International Space Station when it all kicked off.

First, Captain Kirk got things going:

shatz

Then he got the best reply ever:

shatz2

This is probably our favourite thing that’s ever happened. We love you, William Shatner!
