They have always said about Tom Cruise that he is a little unconnected to the ground, now at least he will make money from it, and maybe even get into the history pages. Musk reportedly set up Spice Ex (Space Traffic Services Company) in 2002 and is known for his desire to reconcile Mars, a member of Cruz (57) to work on a feature film, and the two were in talks with NASA about the collaboration that is now officially approved.
"NASA is excited to work with Tom Cruise on a film at the International Space Station," tweeted Jim Breidenstein, NASA's Director of Aeronautics and International Space on Tuesday. "NASA needs popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to help make its ambitious programs a reality," Breidenstein commented on the unique collaboration.

The plot of the film and the date of filming are unknown, and no studio has taken ownership of the ambitious project yet.
Cruz, like many of his industry peers, is currently on a kind of forced leave due to the Corona epidemic. The seventh film shoots in the "Impossible Mission" series starring in February in Italy have been postponed until further notice. At least now he has time to practice moon walking.
