Senator Mark Kelly Names His Top Three Space Movies

Senator Mark Kelly, a veteran of four space missions, posted his three favorite space movies on Twitter. He put Ridley Scott's The Martian at the top, calling it "really a movie about how you use science and engineering to solve hard problems." Kelly said it was "not so much a space movie" but an "engineering problem-solving movie" and praised its crew relationships, which "felt very real to me." He did object to the crew referring to the mission commander as "Commander Lewis," saying "that's actually not how that works.
