How do we know? One commenter on the blogging site Metafilter, the user “easily confused,” has put the Sherlock-level detective work together: Personally, I’m less surprised that astronauts enjoy Mythbusters, which definitely seems like the sort of thing they’d enjoy. Also weirdly present: “So I Married an Axe Murderer.” But some of it…. well that’s probably where we get into individual astronauts making specific requests. And I’d love to know who requested Absolutely Fabulous (Series 1-3), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Mythbusters (Seasons 1-7).” Another fun fact from the Metafilter discussion, via user “RobotVoodooPower”: Also, Breaking Bad is listed as “seasons 1-6,” so we can deduce that someone fulfilling Freedom of Information requests mistook the show’s split fifth season as two separate, really short seasons. Fascinating stuff out of the International Space Station.
