First we meet the official Star Wars: Episode VII cast [1], and now this? What a week!

To celebrate May 4 (aka Star Wars Day), NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio has a special greeting from the International Space Station. But, of course, the Galactic Empire is trying to sabotage all the transmissions and intercept the message.

Leave it to R2-D2 to do all he can to deliver the message just in time. Phew!

How cute is that?
