There may not be the freshest food up there, but living in space does have some perks.
Astronaut Scott Kelly, who is currently spending a full year in space at the International Space Station, tweeted on Sunday that the crew was able to get in a Saturday night movie -- except you can't even watch this movie on Earth yet.

According to Kelly, the movie of choice on Saturday was The Martian, a film based on the best-selling book by Andy Weir about an astronaut who is stranded on Mars, which sounds absolutely terrifying to watch in space.
Although the movie won't be in theaters until Oct. 2, the astronauts were able to watch it using the station's HD projector. It seems as if they also watched Gravity in April, so they must really love watching movies about space disasters while actually being in space. Sounds terrifying.

NASA scientists actually advised in the making of the film and the space agency even allowed the use of its logo, which can be seen in the trailer, below.
