So this is where our tomorrows begin: 220 miles about the Earth moving at a speed of 17,500 mph while aboard the most complex scientific project ever assembled: the International Space Station.
Tom Cruise narrates this fascinating look at the high-flying laboratory where today's space heroes develop technologies that will make possible future human voyages to Mars as well as provide new solutions to earthbound problems. Highlights include the station's in-orbit construction, plus amazing glimpses of crew members as they work, exercise or do routine tasks like getting a haircut or drinking water - in zero gravity you can snap a floating glob of water out of the air like a frog snatching a fly! Suit up, travelers. (47 minutes, 2005)
DVD special features include: Featurette "Adventures in Space," commentary by director Toni Meyers and astronaut Marsha Ivins, two astronaut-guided audiovisual space station tours, and a stills gallery. Subtitles available in English and French.
"Space Station" was filmed in IMAX format. This video version is digitally mastered from original 70 MM film elements with the sound components specially mixed and mastered to produce the highest quality Dolby Surround soundtrack.
