Tim P. sent over the following in regards to Mark Hamill lending his voice to a comedic, animated NASA video:


"Mark Hamill has a cameo voice in a comedic animated NASA video that just went online today. The video stars George Takei, and Ed Wasser (Mr. Morden from Babylon 5) as a robot talk show host intent on ruling the Universe.

Mark's cameo is after the credits, and he touches on how he feels about the Star Wars Holiday Special. :) This video is part of NASA's IRrelevant Astronomy series, which focuses on presenting recent astronomy science to the general public in a comedic, entertaining way. The series premiered January 2008 online in both standard-def and HD. Today's episode is the first of the series to feature celebrity voices, and continues (we think) to break new ground in making science fun & accessible."


Thanks Tim!
