В необычных условиях ученые из разных стран работают вместе для достижения общей научной цели. Запертые в своей вращающейся космической лаборатории, они изолированы от мира — семьи и друзей — и могут лишь наблюдать со стороны, как жизнь на Земле продолжается без них. Космическая станция — памятник не только слабостям человечества, но и его способности совершать невозможное ради жизни в космосе.

July 20, 1969. Apollo 11 lands on the surface of the Moon. Such a feat was apparently performed to the greater glory of all mankind, but actually it marked the end of the space race disputed by the two great superpowers of the time in their eagerness to arrive before and the beginning of the spread of the Cold War into space.

Combining human adventure and the exploration of the human body, this film offers unique insights into the physical and psychological effects of space travel on the Astronauts and measures the impact on medical sciences.
