Fátima Bosch, Miss Universe 2026, recently visited a central NASA facility, the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. During her visit, she received a special surprise: a simulated image depicting her floating in space, dressed in the same attire she wore when she won the Miss Universe crown.

Bosch shared moments from her exploration on social media. A particularly engaging post featured a plush toy of Dr. Simi, dressed as a NASA astronaut, which was gifted to her by NASA employees. This post garnered significant attention, receiving around 300,000 likes and numerous comments.

Online users playfully commented on Bosch's poses in photos taken among prototypes and spacecraft at the center. Some noted her rigid posture, comparing it to a school group photo. Bosch, known for her good humor, responded by referencing a popular meme about awkward photo poses, set to music by Kumbia Kings. Her followers responded with lighthearted remarks, such as "Be Miss Universe forever, please" and "Miss Universe astronaut."
