Video games have surprisingly found a place in the cosmos, with astronauts engaging in gaming during their missions. The trend began in 1993 when Aleksander Serebrov played Tetris aboard the Mir space station, making him the first person to play a video game in space. In 1998, astronaut Andy Thomas brought 'Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time' to the Mir station, marking the second instance of gaming in space. The International Space Station (ISS) saw its first game in 1999 when Daniel Barry took StarCraft with him, hoping to connect with his family through the game, although he did not play it during his mission. John L Phillips mentioned in a 2009 interview that he had brought undisclosed video games to the ISS during his 2005 mission. The latest entry into this unique history occurred in 2016 when Scott Kelly utilized Microsoft’s AR HoloLens technology aboard the ISS, engaging in a game that involved fending off virtual aliens. These instances illustrate the intersection of gaming and space exploration, hinting at a future where gaming could become a more integral part of life in space.
