It was nice of Sir Elton John to tweet Tim before launch; the 'Rocket Man'.
Sadly, Tim will miss the movie Star Wars up there.

Actually, according to Tim, the movie has already been sent up to the ISS, and will be waiting for them when they arrive.

Uploaded I believe.
Once Tim arrives, the entire crew can hook up the new ISS digital projector to a laptop, and watch the movie on a large screen.

All the latest technology then. Did the projector come up on the Cygnus that recently arrived at ISS?
