Leonard Nimoy would have been 87 on Monday and both his children and NASA paid tribute to the late actor with touching social media posts. The Star Trek icon died in 2015.
“From an immigrant neighborhood in Boston to the outer reaches of the galaxy. Quite the trajectory. Happy Birthday Dad. #LLAP,” Adam Nimoy wrote.
He also shared a black-and-white picture of his father.
“There will never be anyone that could mean the same to me as you. Love you always,” Julie Nimoy wrote. She also shared a sweet picture.
“Today we remember @StarTrek actor Leonard Nimoy, who has been, and always shall be, our friend, on his #Birthday,” NASA tweeted from its official history account.
