The crew at the International Space Station was treated to a special viewing of the new Star Trek movie on Friday. Paramount provided a copy of the film which NASA reformatted in five hours and transmitted up to the station where they watched it on a laptop. More pop culture is arriving at the ISS next month, when Astronaut Timothy L. Kopra blasts off. For his ISS trip, he’s bringing a signed copy of Echo & The Bunnymen’s album “Ocean Rain”. A big fan of the group, Kopra emailed them to ask for an album to take up into space. Bunnyman Ian McCulloch was thrilled saying: “Now it’s official. We are the coolest band in the universe.”
