Geeks, break out the smelling salts and your "Star Trek" security blanket, because you'll need both while watching this faint-worthy, geektastic collision of science fiction and reality. After trading greetings via Twitter, Captain Kirk (aka William Shatner to his mom and a few friends) was invited to get on his communicator for a chat with Commander Chris Hadfield, who is currently serving aboard the International Space Station. Shatner did his people proud, coming to the party with plenty of intriguing questions. The captain/commander chat begins at 8:50 in the video.
