NASA watches Trek in space


From the NYT:

Right about now in outer space, three men are crouched in a node of the International Space Station, watching J.J. Abrams’ reboot of “Star Trek” on a laptop. They chose the node, said NASA spokeswoman Nicole Cloutier, because it was “dark and quiet” and would be “a good spot” for three “Star Trek” fans to hunker down for the ultimate viewing experience.

Watching Star Trek, whilst in outer space...

Sure.

Why do you say "sure?" Do you not believe them?

You know what? I really really like the fact that our species has members in orbit. Kinda proud of this.

Also, restaurants that make sandwiches to order are very cool.

Oh, I believe them alright. And I'm also not the least bit jealous.

More crazy pics.

I like how Spock's cockpit was the IDIC. Peppered with nice references like that.
