The Wonderful: Stories from the Space Station • 2021

[Bill] This was a new vehicle. It had components
from 15 different countries. The pieces were not gonna come together
until they met each other in orbit. Many of the techniques and procedures
we needed to operate it had not been written yet. So our training was very much
"fly by the seat of your pants." [Sergei in Russian] The training
was intense and unusual, even by modern standards. The level of our training
was well above average, because we studied a lot of things just in case there's an emergency
we cannot predict. We trained both in Houston
and here in Star City. It was a very interesting and friendly experience exchange, information exchange, emotional exchange, impressions exchange, because everyone could learn
something new

Movie Summary

In unusual circumstances, scientists from different countries work together to achieve a common scientific goal. Locked in their spinning space lab, they are isolated from the world — family and friends - and can only watch from the outside as life on Earth continues without them. The space station is a monument not only to the weaknesses of humanity, but also to its ability to do the impossible for the sake of life in space.
