NASA is working with American actor Tom Cruise to film the first long motion movie in space, on its international space station. This is not strange for the Hollywood star who is the first actor in history to jump from a plane at a height of 7620 meters, and does not open its canopy until after landing 60 meters.
The idea raised hundreds of unanswered questions about whether the film was part of the "Mission Impossible" series, and could filming begin now, especially as Corona would not hinder that, because the International Space Agency is the safest place today , To isolate it from the world at the start of the virus.
Does cruise hold up in space?
The news, which has made many the happiest, has also raised their concerns about Omar Cruz, who will be 58 next month, and the belief that his fitness no longer allows him to be in an inappropriate place to live. But the actor's enthusiasm for the decision brought back dangerous scenes in which he refused to use an alternate actor or visual illusions, but rather participated in it himself.
In the most famous scene of his movie, "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" in 2011, Cruz climbed the Burj Khalifa in the Emirate of Dubai, and was able to balance his body with ropes, despite the strong wind speed.
Cruz used to endanger his safety in order to give some credibility to his films, in an attempt to prove the plane the moment it took off in the movie "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" in 2015, Cruz suffered a great loss, when one of his ribs was broken while the plane took off.
The sixth part was repeated in 2017 when he broke his ankle and injured his thigh, while trying to photograph a trick in which he would jump between the buildings in the middle of the shooting. Cruz is still working on the seventh part of his series, but production has stopped due to the Corona pandemic.

NASA opens up space for visitors
It seems that the idea was not just a dream, after completing the elements of the success of a movie in which Elon Musk collaborates with Cruz by choosing Doug Lehmann to direct the film and participate in its production. Not only that, Lehman announced his writing of the first draft of the film, and his enthusiasm for directing the third film of Cruz after "Edge of tomorrow" and "American made."
NASA director Jim Pridenstein also confirmed press rumors in a tweet on Twitter, that the imaging would be on the International Space Station. Musk replied to the tweet that "a lot of fun awaits us," referring to the verified cooperation between the International Space Agency and the founder of SpaceX, which specializes in designing, manufacturing and launching missiles and spacecraft.
And Musk had launched yesterday, Saturday, the first human space flight from the United States since 2011, to return it to the space race that it left for Russia during the past years, prompting many to think that Cruz will be on board to explore the filming sites for the first time.
In his statement to the Associated Press, Pridenstein said that the reason behind "NASA" opening and benefiting from space is that private companies, such as SpaceX, "Boeing" can attract commercial transactions and profits from that, which will lead to lower taxes on American citizens, and increase Space travel opportunities on tourist trips.

Is space right?
The movie "Interstellar Interstellar" tells us what might happen to a person in space, but that time we will see what happens directly to the hero. Science published last year the result of a study conducted by a twin of astronauts, to monitor the physiological effect of being in space, after one of them spent the year on Earth, and the other on a trip to Mars.
The changes include a marked difference in genetic activity. It relates to the immune system, which is exposed to greater pressure in space. Other differences included the shape of the eyeball, including the thick retinal nerve, while the skin on the forehead becomes thicker, which is believed to be the result of more fluid accumulating in the head due to the lack of gravity that normally pulls it down.
The series of tests also showed that astronauts had reduced cognitive abilities and faced psychological challenges such as isolation and hallucinations. Which may raise more important questions about the physical and psychological safety standards of the new film's cast in these difficult circumstances, and how to overcome the physical changes in actors in space.
