Gentlemen, remember the Russian space
station has been up there for 11 years.
1:08:05
Most of us don't have cars that old.
1:08:07
Now, the cosmonaut on board has been
on that tin can for 18 months, alone.
1:08:13
So don't be surprised
if he's a little... off.
1:08:16
- Independence, we're gonna put you--
- All right, crew.
1:08:19
- Let's exit these flight suits.

1:08:21
[ Russian Accent ] Hello.
1:08:22
This is Russian space station.
Can you hear me ?
1:08:26
[ Speaks Russian ]
We copy, Russian space station.
This is Houston.
1:08:29
I'm ready to fire my thrusters any time.
1:08:33
- Stand by.
- Okay. I'm not going anywhere.
1:08:36
We have a go.
Initiate gravitational spin.
1:08:39
- [ Chattering On Radio ]
- [ Thrusters Roaring ]
1:08:46
- You are maxed at 40-percent spin.
- [ Moans ]
1:08:50
Okay, Houston.
1:08:53
I can feel I'm having gravity.
1:08:57
All right, gentlemen.
We're gonna dock in a minute.
1:09:00
Now, the Russian space station
has fired her rockets...
1:09:02
- Whee !
- to simulate gravity
and let us work faster.
1:09:05
It's gonna make you queasy,
so prepare yourself.
1:09:07
- Well, it's about time.
I haven't thrown up in about an hour.
- [ Laughing ]
1:09:14
Initiating first phase
of docking procedure.
1:09:17
- Switching to manual.
- Manual override.
1:09:25
One foot per second.
Let's take this slow and do it
right, folks. Twenty feet.
1:09:32
- [ Blipping ]
- Ten feet.
1:09:34
Looking good on radar. Five feet.
1:09:38
[ Clanking, Hissing ]
1:09:42
Locks are engaged. Fuel teams, let's go.
1:09:46
Freedom, telemetry is looking good.
1:09:49
- [ Hissing ]
- We have soft dock.
1:09:51
[ Sharp ]
Fuel teams, prepare to unload.
1:09:58
All right, gentlemen, watch your heads.
