Star Trek fans around the world are celebrating the franchise’s 50th anniversary, and Facebook is getting in on the action.

Facebook users who have liked the official Star Trek page on the site are getting a few special treats to mark the half-century milestone. On Thursday, people in the U.S. and Canada will be able to show their excitement for their friends and families’ posts and photos with a special set of Star Trek reactions.

As demonstrated in the picture below, the classic “like” button is still there, but available for a limited time are updates that include the Vulcan salute for “love,” Kirk for “haha,” Spock for “wow,” Geordi for “sad,” and those feisty Klingons for “angry.”
