The crew aboard the ISS conducted a long interview with radio station WTOP recently, covering everything from daily life aboard the ISS, to their Star Trek childhoods.
Although there’s a whole host of interesting stuff in the interview — details about how ISS experiments don’t always go to plan, for example — the highlight is Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti describing how she grew up a Star Trek fan (a ‘Trekker’ — maybe it’s different in Italian?). The expedition commander, Terry Virts, also seems to be a Trekkie, so you can be sure the ISS is in good hands. [NASA]
