Astronaut Scott Kelly recently began a one-year mission on the International Space Station, and his Twitter account has been an amazing place if you're curious about the daily workings of life in orbit. One recent tweet stuck out a bit, however:

So just to be clear, they get a spiffy new screen, and the movie they decide to watch is basically an action movie version of what happens if everything goes badly in space? That movie gave me nightmares on land, this is the equivalent of watching a classic Friday the 13th movie while at summer camp, only much more extreme.
In case you're wondering, this is what Kelly's bedroom looks like:

And it sounds like Netflix is right out:
.@PrestynChapman @NASA We have a slow internet connection. Worse than what dial-up was like. Using it to answer your question right now.

I'm not saying following Scott Kelly on Twitter will make your life better, but it's very possible.
