00:00Imagine signing up for the adventure of a lifetime, only to find yourself trapped 250
00:05miles above Earth with nothing but a grueling schedule to keep you company.
00:08Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to spend just eight days aboard the International
00:13Space Station, but now they're facing six months of relentless work in space.
00:17Their day begins at 6 o'clock a.m. sharp with a wake-up call from mission control.
00:22But forget about a refreshing shower.
00:24Up here, it's all about rinseless shampoo and washing with wet cloths.
00:28Even brushing their teeth or shaving becomes a challenge without gravity.
00:32Imagine having to swallow your toothpaste or shave near an air vent to avoid floating
00:35hair.
00:36By 8 o'clock a.m., it's all hands on deck.
00:39The ISS is a hub of scientific research, and every minute is carefully scheduled by NASA.
00:44From taking blood samples to measuring vitals, there's no time to slow down.
00:48And just because there's no gravity doesn't mean they can skip the gym.
00:52Two hours of exercise every day keeps their muscles from weakening using specialized equipment
00:56designed for zero gravity.
00:58As the day winds down, the astronauts finally get a moment to themselves.
01:02Dinner is a dehydrated affair, but it's the view that really makes up for it, watching
01:06the Earth below as the sun rises and sets every 90 minutes.
01:10For Butch and Suni, the next six months are going to be anything but ordinary.
01:15But up here, even the toughest day is a reminder that they're part of something extraordinary.
