The inside story of the astronauts of Space Shuttle mission 105 and their mission to the International Space Station

There is a small group of people who have a job like no other on Earth. That's because they don't work on Earth. This film is about four of those people, the crew of Shuttle mission 105. With unique access to the space programme, we follow their intense training at NASA, ride with them aboard space shuttle Discovery into orbit, rendezvous and work with them aboard the International Space Station, before an exhilarating return to Earth.
