The crew of the International Space Station have boldly gone where no one has gone before – to see the new Star Trek film.
The three astronauts were offered a sneak peak of Star Trek Into Darkness days before it opened yesterday on Earth, seeing it not in 3D, but Zero-G.
Nasa spokesperson Kelly Humphries said the movie was beamed up to the outpost on Monday and the two Russians and American on board had a day off on Tuesday. That gave them a chance to view it on their laptops. It is unclear if they watched it.
US astronaut Chris Cassidy took part on Thursday in a Google+ hangout that brought together two Earth-bound astronauts, three of the film stars – Chris Pine, Alice Eve and John Cho – and its director, JJ Abrams. – Sapa-AP
