A social-media post featuring former NASA astronaut Don Thomas and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay has attracted attention online.
According to the viral post, Don Thomas praised Vijay’s administrative approach and recreated an iconic hand gesture associated with Vijay. The image combines photographs of Don Thomas with Vijay and carries the message: “NASA former astronaut Don Thomas praised our CM Vijay’s efficient administration and recreated his iconic hand gesture.”
The post has generated interest among Vijay’s supporters, particularly because of the unusual connection between a former NASA astronaut and Tamil Nadu political discussions.
However, the claim circulating with the image should be treated as unverified unless supported by an official statement, interview, or credible news report from Don Thomas or NASA.
The viral image has nevertheless become a talking point on social media, with supporters sharing it as a positive message about Vijay and his growing public profile.
