Astronaut Scott Kelly watched Gravity in space last night
So, let’s say you’re one month into a year-long mission on the International Space Station, and you’re feeling a little bored. You decide to pop in a movie. What film do you choose?
If you’re Scott Kelly, it’s Gravity. The astronaut tweeted a photo of “movie night” aboard ISS, and, sure enough, you can make out Sandra Bollock floating around the space station. Pretty meta, eh? It also seems like a pretty unusual choice, since, you know, it’s a space station disaster movie. And he’s stuck on the space station.
It’s a bit like watching airplane disaster documentaries on a trans-Atlantic flight. Or Titanic on your next cruise. Or, perhaps, The Thing while you’re stationed at an Antarctic station for the winter. It definitely doesn’t calm…
