Patrick Stewart Talks About His Star Trek Fans

Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:08, 2 December 2009 / People

The Yorkshire Evening Post posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart and here are few excerpts from the article.

"You may find it hard to believe but real astronauts watch Star Trek. Flight crews watch Star Trek," he said. "The military watch Star Trek."

"A month ago I got an astonishing e-mail saying the European space authority was inviting me to take part in a video link with a space station. I thought 'who?'

"These long-term astronauts every two months are given a chance of talking to someone of their choice. A Belgian astronaut had asked for me. So I was connected to mission control in London and there was the captain of the space station."

He watched the crew floating around the space station.

"He went round with a camera, giving me a guided tour. We had 25 minutes. I made the most of my time."

They over-ran.

"After an hour Houston interrupted and said they had other things to do."

The full interview is here.
