Tim Peake is the latest NASA astronaut to get on board the International Space Station, along with our photographically -talented fave, Scott Kelly.

Being on the ISS would be a lifelong dream, and one of the greatest achievements in your career, obviously. However, fans of Peake were pretty concerned about one major flaw in his decision to board the station:

@astro_timpeake mate, you must be gutted, finally your expedition to space and @starwars comes out 2 days later. Chin up. #bestofbritish

But, Peake calmed everyone down with this fabulous news:

.@ChrisEastabrook We have a projector & screen onboard & I’m told that @starwars will be waiting for us up there…what a place to watch it!

He ain’t lying; look at these cute tweets from Kelly of the ISS crew all snuggled up in zero gravity, watchin’ movies (their film choices are a little questionable, considering both The Martian and Gravity are about pretty fkn terrible things happening to astronauts, but w/e, it’s their choice):

Peake obviously didn’t confirm that it’s ‘The Force Awakens’ that’s being screened. But George Lucas and J.J. Abrams would have to be pretty cruel to screen the first six for the fellas, but make them wait a whole year to see the new one, right? Surely not.
