Go ahead and power...
166
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:29,849
Now we 're going to try it out for real.
167
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,731
Jeff is riding on the arm, watching...
168
00:13:36,898 --> 00:13:38,983
...in case anything goes wrong.
169
00:13:39,359 --> 00:13:43,404
L.A., flying on the right,
is now powered by his jetpack.
170
00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:55,041
Just in case, he's attached by a thin wire.
171
00:14:01,089 --> 00:14:05,589
But he didn't need it after all.
The test is a great success.

Discovery pulls away,
leaving the space station in orbit.
173

So far, all the pieces
have connected without a hitch.
174
00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:25,989
At the top is Zvezda.
That's where the crews will live.
175
00:14:26,156 --> 00:14:30,656
Below it is Zarya, kind of
a big float-through closet for storage.
176
00:14:30,911 --> 00:14:33,872
And at the bottom,
the truss and the Unity node...
177
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,791
...where the next additions
will be attached.
178
00:14:37,959 --> 00:14:41,128
The station's now ready for people.

We're in Kazakhstan,
at the Russian spaceport.

launched from here.

Forty years later, this crew is getting
ready to live on the space station.

Two are Russian cosmonauts,
Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev.

The crew's commander is an American,
Bill Shepherd, known as Shep.

His wife, Beth,
is the astronaut fitness trainer.

187
00:15:16,957 --> 00:15:19,876
...whereas the Russian families
were not able to come at all.
188
00:15:20,043 --> 00:15:22,462
They stayed in Star City.

after the first cosmonaut flew.

Everybody that flew has a tree here.
Gagarin's tree would be 40 years old now.

down that row of trees...
194

that we were finally here...
196

We had worked so hard
for him to be there.
198

And for us to finally be there together...
199
00:15:54,661 --> 00:15:57,872
...to think about the people
that had come and gone...
200
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
...and to know that this person next to me,
my husband ...
201
00:16:02,085 --> 00:16:05,004

aboard a Soyuz rocket...
210
00:16:53,678 --> 00:16:57,098
...the workhorse
of the Russian space program.
211
00:17:00,268 --> 00:17:04,768

...very foggy day...
214
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:18,369
...having several hundred people
at the base of the rocket...
215
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:23,037
...which , for an American launch ,
would be very unusual and unheard of.
216
00:17:23,792 --> 00:17:28,004
Being able to have such close contact with
friends and family who are right there...

before you go fly...

...inside a capsule
the size of a Volkswagen Beetle...
226
00:18:02,914 --> 00:18:05,333
...and it's a two-day trip.
227

of the Earth's atmosphere...

...and to a safe orbit.
229
00:18:17,387 --> 00:18:20,431
Once you're at the end
of the powered flight...
230
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,768
...and you're floating around in orbit,
then you can sit back and say:
231

"Boy, I'm glad that
we have gotten that done successfully."

bent u p almost to your chin ...
233
00:19:00,722 --> 00:19:03,307
...for hours at a time,
it's pretty uncomfortable.
234
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:05,935
But the Soyuz is very reliable.
235

It's got a lot of capability
to get you up into space...

They're set to go.
243
00:19:39,803 --> 00:19:43,306
But after two days in a capsule
with your knees in your chin...
244
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:46,476
...you've got a few other priorities.
245
00:19:53,441 --> 00:19:56,444
Put together an ace Soyuz pilot
like Yuri...
246
00:19:56,611 --> 00:20:00,740
...Sergei, a man who's already logged
more than a year and a half in space...
247
00:20:00,907 --> 00:20:03,284
...and a Navy SEAL for a commander...
248
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:06,788
...and you've got the right stuff
for the job.
249
00:20:09,082 --> 00:20:12,835
After we got the node open ,
it started to seem like...
250
00:20:13,002 --> 00:20:17,131
...a really expansive place,
because we all have memories...
251
00:20:17,298 --> 00:20:21,798
...of being in much more confined spaces
like Soyuz and even the shuttle.
252
00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:30,144
YU RI : When I came to the Zvezda
for the first time...
253
00:20:30,311 --> 00:20:32,646
...it looked for me as home.
254
00:20:32,814 --> 00:20:37,235
And that was a place
where we stay and Iive and sleep.
255
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:40,321
I was thinking we were here...
256
00:20:40,488 --> 00:20:42,907
YU RI :
It has life-support equipment...
257
00:20:43,074 --> 00:20:44,742
...guidance and navigation ...
258
00:20:44,909 --> 00:20:47,912
...jets to control the station ,
to move it arou nd in space.

If we weren't here, we wouldn't
be seeing what we're seeing ...
260

YU RI :
We have several windows looking down.
261
00:20:55,128 --> 00:20:58,005
We have to exercise every day to stay fit.
262
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:00,717
And even after a relatively short flight...
263
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:03,511
...you feel the difference in your muscles.
264
00:21:04,179 --> 00:21:06,723
When we did this exercise
near the window...
265
00:21:06,890 --> 00:21:10,518
...every time you turn the pedal ,
you fly several kilometers.
266
00:21:10,685 --> 00:21:15,185
It's more impressive to say,
"I ran the bike from Paris to China."
267
00:21:17,817 --> 00:21:21,904
Probably the nicest thing
in sleep compartment is the window.
268
00:21:22,864 --> 00:21:25,366
From space, you don't see any borders.
269

You really don't see where
U nited States ends and Mexico starts.
270

...not just man from one country
or one city.
272

Of course, on Earth, we take things
like air and water for granted.
273

But here, the supply is limited.
274
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:53,061
You can't survive without it,
so you have to recycle it continuously.
275
00:21:59,442 --> 00:22:03,942
You need a degree in plumbing to keep
all your life-support systems running.
276

In the future...
278
00:22:07,742 --> 00:22:12,242
...crews traveling to other planets
will have to rely on repair skills like this.

that many countries...

the space station ...
465

an adventuresome place to Iive...

...but actually a pleasant and challenging
and interesting place to live.
469
00:36:32,022 --> 00:36:35,608
I would really like the opportunity
to spend a part of my life there.
470
00:36:37,277 --> 00:36:40,863
What struck me, though ,
was to watch the crew that's living there...
471
00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:46,157
...to see them view Earth
as a separate place.
472
00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:51,625
Earth is something
completely separate from them.
473
00:36:55,629 --> 00:36:59,299
It's an interesting step, I think,
for humans...
474
00:36:59,466 --> 00:37:02,677
...to get to the point where you are
now separated from your mother...
475
00:37:02,845 --> 00:37:07,345
...and you are starting to view yourself
as more of a single separate entity...
476
00:37:07,808 --> 00:37:11,269
...heading off
into the rest of the universe.
477
00:37:34,251 --> 00:37:38,255
J I M : If we were to have to leave
the space station in the Soyuz vehicle...
478
00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:40,465
...we'd put on the SOKOL suits.
479
00:37:40,632 --> 00:37:44,010
All the material that's in the front
is where you get into the suit.
480
00:37:44,178 --> 00:37:48,599
So you gather it up and then
wrap two rubber bands around it...
481
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:52,019
...to seal it so that it holds pressure.
482
00:37:54,188 --> 00:37:56,481
SUSAN :
To get inside is a real challenge.
483
00:37:56,648 --> 00:37:59,359
It's one of these types of capsules
where you've got...
484
00:37:59,526 --> 00:38:02,654
...three humans Iaying side by side
like sardines.
485
00:38:09,703 --> 00:38:13,331
The Russians, on occasion ,
do provide two Soyuz spacecraft...
486
00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:15,667
...and there's usually
just one prime parking spot.
487
00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:17,877
So we need to do a bit of choreography...
488
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:21,298
...in order to get the right Soyuz
in the right place.
489
00:38:23,884 --> 00:38:28,054
All three crew members need to be
in the Soyuz in the event there's a risk...
490
00:38:28,222 --> 00:38:31,225
...of needing to make
an emergency de-orbit.
491
00:38:31,391 --> 00:38:35,728
The trickiest part was the re-docking ,
where you go into a different port...
492
00:38:35,896 --> 00:38:40,233
...and you've got a different point of view
of the space station than you had before.
493
00:38:41,735 --> 00:38:45,196
All of us double-checked ,
triple-checked everything ...
494
00:38:45,364 --> 00:38:48,241
...to make sure that
when we got to the new docking port...
495
00:38:48,408 --> 00:38:51,828
...that we were going to have
the ability to get back inside.
496
00:38:51,995 --> 00:38:55,081
That, to me, was the most tense part.
497
00:38:58,752 --> 00:39:02,672
Things have been known to break
on the outside of the space station.
498
00:39:03,340 --> 00:39:07,840
You have to have a way to get outside
and repair the item.
499
00:39:12,182 --> 00:39:15,226
An airlock is required
to be able to do that.
500
00:39:16,311 --> 00:39:19,105
The station robotic arm is what I used ...
501
00:39:19,273 --> 00:39:22,651
...to Iift the airlock
out of the shuttle's payload bay.
502
00:39:27,281 --> 00:39:31,781
J I M : The joint airlock is basically like a room
that we can use to go outside.
503
00:39:32,494 --> 00:39:35,705
It's like a porch on your space station.
504
00:39:35,873 --> 00:39:39,251
And its whole function in life
is to allow us to do space walks...
505
00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:42,796
...from the space station
while the shuttle is not there.
506
00:39:45,215 --> 00:39:47,717
SUSAN : At the control station
where you're operating the arm ...
507
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:52,385
...there's no window where you can look
and see the arm in motion.
508
00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:58,228
There is no automatic collision control
on that robotic arm ...
509
00:39:58,395 --> 00:40:01,898
...and all of your wits and talents
are required ...
510
00:40:02,065 --> 00:40:06,319
...in order to keep from ramming it
into the side of the space station.
511
00:40:07,863 --> 00:40:12,363
Video cameras
are our most trustworthy friends.
512
00:40:17,122 --> 00:40:21,000
J I M : It's remarkable to me that
we've been able to build these things...
513
00:40:21,168 --> 00:40:23,587
...thousands of miles apart
in different countries...
514
00:40:23,754 --> 00:40:25,505
...using different systems...
515
00:40:25,672 --> 00:40:29,300
...and put them together in space,
and for them to work.
516
00:40:36,558 --> 00:40:39,644
SUSAN :
The robotic arm worked perfectly.
517
00:40:39,811 --> 00:40:44,148
You could not have asked
for a more perfect piece of hardware.
518
00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:56,115
Inside, the crew moves
the airlock's inner hatch into position.
519
00:40:57,537 --> 00:41:01,457
Now you can take a walk
outside the station whenever you need to.
520
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:04,711
But first, you have to get your body ready.
521
00:41:04,878 --> 00:41:09,048
If you don't, you get crippling pains
called the bends.
522
00:41:10,509 --> 00:41:12,427
Now, I'm a diver.
523
00:41:12,594 --> 00:41:17,094
And every diver knows
you don't ever wanna get the bends.
524
00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:20,560
Astronaut Mike Gernhardt is also a diver.
525
00:41:20,727 --> 00:41:24,981
Before going outside, he breathes
pure oxygen while he's exercising.
526
00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:27,567
That will get
the pain-causing nitrogen bubbles...
527
00:41:27,734 --> 00:41:30,653
...out of his blood much faster.
528
00:41:38,537 --> 00:41:41,289
The front door to the station is now open.
529
00:41:41,456 --> 00:41:43,916
Its construction is ongoing.
530
00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:46,586
And soon,
additions from Europe and Japan...
531
00:41:46,753 --> 00:41:51,253
...will enhance this incredibly versatile
and unique laboratory.
532
00:41:51,591 --> 00:41:56,091
Here, we can expand our knowledge
of things that affect our daily lives...
533
00:41:57,264 --> 00:42:00,267
...and learn how natural events
and people...
534
00:42:00,434 --> 00:42:03,270
...are affecting our fragile environment.
535
00:42:03,937 --> 00:42:06,439
That's worth all the risks...
536
00:42:06,606 --> 00:42:09,442
...and something to celebrate.

00:44:08,603 --> 00:44:11,272
Space is a very special place.
548
00:44:11,898 --> 00:44:15,443
Without gravity, you can see and feel...
549
00:44:15,610 --> 00:44:19,071
...and try things you can't
do anywhere else.

In search of a better life on Earth,

One day, you too
may visit the space station.

You might be an engineer
inventing a whole new technology.
553
00:44:51,855 --> 00:44:56,025
You could be a doctor
or an ecologist studying the Earth.
