Nasa is routinely thought of as the our precursor to the fictional Starfleet Academy, and recently, astronauts interacted with “Star Trek Into Darkness” stars to discuss the intersection between “Star Trek” and Nasa’s current programs. Astronaut Chris Cassidy on the International Space Station and astronauts Michael Fincke and Kjell Lindgren connected with writer/producer Damon Lindelof and stars Chris Pine, Alice Eve and John Cho through Google+ to talk about how “Star Trek” and Nasa are connected along with what happens in zero gravity, if any of the actors would want to go into space, which captain is Eve’s favorite and more.

Washington — The crew of the International Space Station is boldly going where no one has gone before – to see the new "Star Trek" film.
The three astronauts were offered a sneak peak of "Star Trek Into Darkness" days before it opens Thursday on Earth, seeing it not in 3-D, but Zero-g.
Nasa spokesman Kelly Humphries said the movie was beamed up to the outpost Monday and the two Russians and American on board had a day off Tuesday. That gave them a chance to view it on their laptops. It's unclear if they watched it.
U.S. astronaut Chris Cassidy is taking part Thursday in a Google+ hangout that's bringing together two Earth-bound astronauts, film stars Chris Pine, Alice Eve and John Cho, and its director and screenwriter.

They left Ireland for England as young men… and never returned. As a film documents their homecoming 40 years later, Jon McGregor meets the exiles
I went to a film premiere last year. It was in the garden of a large house, on the eastern outskirts of Nottingham, that provides supported accommodation for older homeless men. There was quite a crowd when I got there; a mixture of local artists and film-makers, professionals from the worlds of care and housing support, and men living in the house. Someone had made a pot of stew and we stood around eating it and making small talk while we waited for dusk to fall so the screening could begin. It took a while to get everyone seated, and a while longer for everyone to be quiet, and then the film opened with a shot of one of the men I'd just seen talking in the garden.
