[i]Earlier this week, many people on Twitter seemed stumped by a surprise exchange between the "Sex and the City" star and NASA following a tweet posted on June 14 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announcing that when Artemis-1 rounds the moon later this year, it will be absent of astronauts. The lone passenger will be "a very important one" — a manikin. The post prompted a tongue-in-cheek reply from a fan account dedicated to Star Trek and The Orville that linked “manikin” to the 1987 comedy starring Cattrall opposite Andrew McCarthy about a department store mannequin that comes to life. "Breaking news!" posted @startrekeire a day later. "Kim Cattrall has been chosen to fly aboard NASA's Artemis-1 mission which flies around the moon later this year. Congrats Kim, wishing you good vibrations!" The amusing exchange could have been another LOL moment that quietly quickly if it weren't for Cattrall who responded with an image of her in a NASA spacesuit, reporting for duty. Cattrall's post caused many to jump to the conclusion that it was an official confirmation of an impending trip to outer space with several prominent Twitter influencers posting about it as breaking news. NASA continued the mannequin joke, responding to Cattrall's image, "That's one giant leap for manne-kind." The Hollywood Reporter can confirm that while Cattrall is not replacing the mannequin on Artemis-1, she has some of the skills required for an outer space adventure thanks to a trip to NASA’s Space Camp in 2013.[/i]
