Pesquet also noted that like many other astronauts, he loves science fiction franchises. For example, during the 2007 STS-117 spacecraft mission, NASA astronaut Steve Swanson took the entire DVD set of the TV series Firefly and its movie side-thread to orbit Earth for a permanent place in the International Space Station library.
