Description
Two hundred miles above the earth, in the weightless void of space, astronauts from around the globe are reporting to work on the most perilous construction site in the cosmos—the International Space Station. With six scientific laboratories and living quarters for seven, the completed station will be larger than two football fields, making it one of the brightest objects in the night sky. But even as astronauts risk their lives to build it, the future of this project is in doubt. America's most important partner, Russia, has failed to deliver the station's critical third piece, stalling construction and putting the entire project in jeopardy. Somehow the fate of this project—the centerpiece of America's future in space—has come to rest in the hands of America's old Cold War enemy. Join NOVA and trace the roots of the current crisis, from the Soviet Union's early dominance in space to NASA's historic Apollo missions, through the tumult of Russia's pioneering Salyut and Mir space stations and NASA's critical decision to turn to the Russians for help. And finally, explore the potential impact of Russia's plan to turn its aging Mir station into a vacation spot and commercial lab. Will Russia's renewed passion for its own space station mean the end for America's?
