'Interstellar' actors sought space tips from real NASA astronaut [i]Actors Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, who play astronauts in Christopher Nolan's new science fiction movie "Interstellar," learned how to portray life in microgravity from a veteran NASA space traveler. "There is an astronaut named Marsha, who consulted on the film," Hathaway told an audience of actors and press after an early screening of "Interstellar" in Los Angeles. "I am embarrassed [for forgetting her full name] because she is an American hero and has been up in space five times." That is Marsha Ivins, a retired NASA astronaut whose five missions on the space shuttle spanned more than 1,300 hours in Earth orbit from 1990 to 2001. Ivins flights helped deploy and recover satellites, restock supplies and swap out crewmembers at the Russian space station Mir, and deliver the United States' science laboratory "Destiny" to the International Space Station.[/i]
