I remember that movie. It was actually pretty good for it's time.

I knew there were more, but I was too lazy to go look. Having just finished Chris Hadfield’s book (and having been gifted his Master Class), he just popped to mind immediately.

Jeffy, Here’s who has actually flown, from a link in rocketguy101’s post just above: https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/missions/default.asp

And, of course, there’s this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo
(And the making of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i3QCvNaqs8)

Well, I guess Scotty did not get the warp drive ready in time....

Currently in a hold that has stretched out over 15 minutes, but hopefully they will go soon.
