Samantha Cristoforetti channeled her inner Sandra Bullock.

This was the first attempt to capture Samantha Cristoforetti during a showing of the movie"Gravity" on the International Space Station, in 2015. As you can see, Cristoforetti is completely missing from the picture.

Her cosplay was so complex, in fact, that it took at least seven years to accomplish, as fellow astronaut Scott Kelly, formerly of NASA, shared on Twitter. Kelly attempted to take a shot of Cristoforetti doing the same pose during hiswith the undated attempt sometime during his mission, which perfectly shows Bullock on-screen — but is completely missing Cristoforetti.

He called the"fail" one of the biggest regrets of his last mission in space, noting that he waited too late to grab the camera after Cristoforetti floated by in workout clothes, presumably on the way to do something else. The long gap between spaceflight opportunities is not unusual. ISS astronauts require about two to 2.5 years of mission training before launching for a long-duration mission, which typically lasts about six months.

These timelines together mean that at best, it might be a 3 to 3.5 year gap in between individual missions for an astronaut. That number doesn't, however, take into account the limited number of seats on available spacecraft to bring people to orbit, which can reduce flight opportunities.
