It seems like everybody will be watching the new Star Wars movie this week—even people who aren't on Earth.
British astronaut Tim Peake, who just beamed up to the International Space Station on Tuesday for a six month stint, revealed that he and his crew will be watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens in zero gravity. In response to a Twitter user who said his trek to space was poorly timed, the 43-year old tweeted:
Per Mashable, this isn’t first time a movie has been screened on the space station. In the past year, astronauts have viewed The Martian and Gravity, and probably panicked immediately afterward. Kidding about that last part. Maybe.
