It seems that being chief communications officer at USS Enterprise can open some important star portals. In this case, opened the White House! According to a report published by TrekMovie.com, actress Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura from the Star Trek series, achieved the feat you can see above during a visit to the US government headquarters.

Nichols, who was in Washington to attend a NASA event this February, took the opportunity to pay a visit to the White House. Barack Obama, who had already shown the Vulcan greeting on other occasions, landed for the photo with the actress, proving that he is a true fan of the series.

Lieutenant Uhura posted the photo on her Twitter, revealing that Spock Obama had a crush on his character when he was younger, and confirms that the president definitely considers himself a Trekker .
