Hollywood to send elderly California millionaire into space

The U.S. government needs to make a few demands before NASA works with Tom Cruise on whatever it is they're working on. He'll be launched into a space in a huge cloud of greenhouse gas to film a movie on the International Space Station. Before they do it, the "Church" of Scientology should have to release its prisoners, start paying its members for their labor, start paying taxes, stop harassing people and stop being a cult.

Remember the 1976 Dino de Larentis version of King King? Publicity for it played up the big giant animatronic King Kong that would appear in the movie, then it was only in it for a few seconds and it barely moved.

I think that's what we can expect here; twenty or thirty seconds of Tom Cruise in space filmed by a cosmonaut with a cell phone. NASA thinks it will result in a resurgence in interest in space travel. Seeing 57-year-old Tom Cruise in space with inspire the kids to go into science.
