While the SpaceX space tourists returned from their journey, one of the crewmembers passed the time by watching 1987’s „Spaceballs.“
There’s nothing quite like passing time on a flight with a good movie — especially when your flight includes an incredibly rapid and fiery descent towards Earth from space. At least, that’s what happened during the Inspiration4 crew’s return from orbit on Saturday evening. While the SpaceX space tourists returned from their journey, a few eagle-eyed viewers watching the live stream of the descent noticed something odd: one of the crewmembers was watching “Spaceballs” during the drop down. Twitter user @OwenSparks_ tweeted a screenshot of mission specialist Christopher Sembroski watching the 1987 Mel Brooks-directed parody and tagged SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in it.
