[man] There has never been any other
collaborative engineering project of this scope, size or challenge,
in my opinion. You are basically taking
pieces of hardware that may have been built
thousands of miles apart, that had never been in the same room,
never touched each other. Then you have to put them together
in space, in a vacuum, going at 18,000 miles an hour, {\an8}and they have to work
the first time they touch {\an8}and not cause shocks or not leak
or have any other problems {\an8}that of course are disastrous in space. And they all worked. They all worked
when we put them together

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.
