He was one of the most loved comedians of his time, and now new footage has given fans just another reason to adore the late Robin Williams.

Filmed at the NASA headquarters in Houston, US, the comedian can be heard giving the crew of the Discovery Space Shuttle a wake up call.

“Good morning Discovery,” Robin bellows.

“It’s time to start doing that shuttle shuffle.”

Robin then plays the five strong space crew a very special song about their mission.

NASA employees can be seen laughing at the transmission, before a member of the shuttle crew replies “good morning Houston.”
