The following is probably quite a scary sentence if you're several miles up and outside the Earth's atmosphere: "A computer virus has made it's way on to the International Space Station". That's right - up in space, where no one can hear you scream and where there are no rescue missions, there's a virus threatening to wreak havoc.

The only scary part of this is that the Russians built the escape vehicle, I'd take my chances with the virus. :lolflag:

I like how the article starts out making it sound like the virus was endangering the space station, but then revealed halfway down the page that the virus was harmless.

Let me know when the space station is in real danger, and then I might be concerned.

It started taking over the crew by electrocuting them and transferring it's essence, using pieces of the station to turn them into cyborgs.

Then Leonardo Dicaprio has a big fight scene at the end while what's her name makes it to the Russian life pod, only the hatch doesn't seal, cause it's Russian, and she suffocates on reentry.
