(5.00 / 3 votes)In the Milky Way galaxy,
circling a star called the Sun ...
by intelligent life.
Earthlings have always been
curious creatures.
Even as we discovered our own world,
we dreamed of exploring others.
If they are sending signals ...
we could detect them with this
and maybe send a signal
back across the cosmos.
But might we ourselves
leave our home on Earth ...
to explore new worlds?
We have already taken the first
small steps outside our planet.
We designed this shuttlecraft to
carry people and cargo up into orbit.
Here, far above the
Earth's atmosphere ...
we're learning how to
live and work in space.
You've got a go to
maneuver the orbiter.
It's doing nose sweep, going
towards the starboard side.
The exterior shows just a little
of the expected wear and tear ...
of many trips back and forth.
The shuttle is equipped
with a robotic arm ...
to move large payloads
ferried up from Earth.
Houston, do we have
a go for maneuver?
It has lifted from the cargo bay ...
a spacecraft which carries
a German telescope named ORFEUS ...
and a remotely operated
IMAX camera.
Through its lens, we are
the exterior of the shuttle
as it orbits the Earth.
Discovery, Houston.
You have a go for release.
Copy that.
Now the ORFEUS telescope
has been released into orbit.
We are riding with it,
floating free in space.
Beneath us the shuttle pulls
away, its cargo bay empty.
ORFEUS will spend several days ...
observing the hottest and
coldest gases in our galaxy.
Then the shuttle will
take it back to Earth.
Over three decades, we've learned how
to travel back and forth to space ...
and live in low Earth orbit.
Now that we have taken these
first steps, are we ready ...
to cross the great black void to explore
the other worlds in our solar system?
The journey will be hundreds of times
farther than any we have ever undertaken.
First, we need to understand
how we adapt to weightlessness.
The nine hours of work
scheduled for the blue shift ...
one and a half hour for green.
Connected by tunnel to the crew cabin,
a laboratory known as Spacelab ...
on certain flights.
Inside it, scientists are
performing experiments ...
developed by 13 different countries.
Two medical doctors, Norm Thagard
and Roberta Bondar, a Canadian ...
are studying how our
when introduced to microgravity.
More than half the astronauts
experience space motion sickness ...
the first day or two.
We're getting one
last calibration, Dave.
German payload specialist Ulf Merbold
is conducting an experiment ...
to find out more
about how it happens.
I've got vection.
The subject sees one thing,
but he feels another.
these conflicting messages ...
and he becomes disoriented.
Is the spacecraft rotating ...
or are we?
While Roberta spins, a tiny
is recording the movements of her
eye as it reacts to the motion.
Data are collected at mid-flight,
then again near its end.
When the results are compared ...
it becomes clear that the more
time people spend in space ...
the more they rely on the visual
sense alone for orientation.
But these results tell us only about
how we adapt in the short term.
Spores three goes to centrifuge 204.
Make sure it says spore 31G.
Spores Which one?
To find out how we're
people must live continuously
