I'm an Excellent Astronaut

I told you last week how the Air Force had commissioned a report straight out of the X-Files. Now NASA is looking into the 1988 Dustin Hoffman/Tom Cruise movie Rainman.

The space agency is actually examining Kim Peek -- the autistic savant that Hoffman based his character on. Peek is undergoing CAT and MRI scans. It's something of a test of NASA's technology developed to study the effects of space travel on the brain. (CNN)
