When not repairing the Hubble telescope, the space station astronauts managed to get some first-run recreation: They watched the new Star Trek movie. The Associated Press reported today that American astronaut Michael Barratt requested the film, which all the astronauts watched after dinner on Friday. Barratt and the others piled into the space shuttle’s node, strapped their feet to the floor, and viewed the action blockbuster on a small computer screen, with a specially adapted version of the film that took NASA five hours to reformat.

That’s a great gesture. They’re actually in space, we’re just watching it on our screens.
You do realize the International Space Station and the space shuttle Atlantis aren’t the same thing, right? It’s the shuttle that’s fixing Hubble, and the station which had the Star Trek screening.
I have four words to say: Beam me up Scottie! That phrase takes on a whole new meaning now LOL. Good for the astronauts though, that was a darn good movie.
What takes five hours to encode?! I could have converted it to any format in two hours, tops.
Wow, that’s awesome! Go NASA! I bet the astronauts loved that!
