Back in 2007, NASA astronaut Steven Swanson took along some DVDs on his trip on the Space Shuttle Atlantis. He was headed to the International Space Station, and (hard as it is for me to believe) those guys have a little bit of downtime. So he took the boxed set of the Firefly TV series and the follow-up film Serenity with him. Those bad boys are still circling the globe in the ISS Movie Library because he left them behind for others to enjoy.
So Serenity is still flying. In low Earth orbit somewhere above our heads. She's a good boat.
How cool is that?

Fascinating. I had no idea. I was visiting Jason's Show tonight and clicked over to Avaitable and then I saw your comment and I came to say hi : )
LwK - Heya! Stop by anytime.
Speaking of the signal, have you seen Pontypool? Bloody brilliant movie, I can see it might be right up your street.
