01:59Right now it's being built by just a few dozen astronauts.
02:05If you'll come along with me, we'll go behind the scenes and find out how these extraordinary people do it.
02:12Okay Chris, I'm just going to head on back to the Palo Bay here.
02:16Roger, I see you.
02:19What a beautiful view out the port side there.
02:24Spectacular.
02:29Working outside in the vacuum of space is a dangerous business.
02:42First you calculate all the risks.
02:47Then you learn how to deal with them.
02:52Hey Chris, it looks like I've drifted off the structure here a little bit.
02:57Try and pull myself back in.
02:59Scott, it looks like your tether is disconnected.
03:02I show it coiling away from you.
03:04And Scott, you headed out over the port nose of the vehicle.
03:07Looks like to be elixir on the port side.
03:09They should maybe be able to see out windows one, two, or three.
03:13Okay, I'm going through the safe room.
03:15Okay, I agree.
03:16Just pulling the hand controller.
03:17I see it.
03:18Okay, it's swung out.
03:19Bring it up to work envelope.
03:21I got it in front of you, I see it.
03:23Power on.
03:24Got AH light.
03:25Okay, it looks like you're starting to correct now.
03:30It's beginning to close.
03:31Stop.
03:32Looks nice, looks nice.
03:33Looks nice, looks nice.
04:02Hey, I've got it.
04:03Your feet are clear.
04:04Back on structure.
04:05Okay, let's get some tethers on.
04:06Looks good.
04:07I concur.
04:08Okay, I see you got a good solid.
04:09Your feet are clear below.
04:11For you and me, the virtual reality lab at the Johnson Space Center might be the ultimate
04:16video game.
04:17Cheat to death again.
04:18We're back on.
04:19I concur.
04:20But if you're Scott Parazynski and Chris Hadfield, it's where you learn how to escape from
04:25your worst nightmare.
04:26Nice.
04:27I like that.
04:28Nice.
04:30They're a construction team.
04:31One of many that will fly a whole series of missions to assemble the station in orbit.
04:46It takes many parts to make a whole space station.
04:53Some modules are so big and heavy, there's just enough rocket power to launch them one
04:59at a time.
05:01They've been designed and built by thousands of people in 16 different countries.
05:10Some pieces are tested here at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
05:14Others in Russia.
05:16But will they all fit together when they arrive in space?
05:24The first station component was designed and built in Russia.
05:28It's called Zarya.
05:30It'll be boosted to orbit by the proton rocket.
05:33With a thrust of two and a half million pounds.
05:37You don't want to be anywhere close by when they light that fuse.
05:41If you don't need any energy.
05:42If you don't need any energy.
05:44There will be a huge punch on the world.
05:45The two and a half million miles.
05:46I don't know.
06:16Proton is an expendable rocket.
06:21After delivering Zarya to orbit, it'll fall back to Earth, into a safe zone.
06:29Other station parts will be hauled up by a fleet of ships of a very different design.
06:36NASA's space shuttles.
06:40They're more like high-tech delivery trucks.
06:43One of these will close in on Zarya.
06:47Then the crew will grab it with the shuttle's arm.
06:50Houston and Denver, we have Zarya firmly attached to the orbit.
06:53We're halfway home for the day.
06:56Nice job.
06:56All right.
06:57It was a big moment for the crew, especially astronaut Nancy Curry, who operated the arm.
07:04She sure didn't want to miss.
07:05That was the longest 15 minutes of my entire life.
07:09Okay, back to the procedure.
07:11All right.
07:14The American module Unity is mounted in the cargo bay.
07:19CJ, the pilot, fires the shuttle's thrusters to push Unity upward and made it to Zarya.
07:25The International Space Station is born.
07:40The shuttle will leave it here and return to Earth.
07:44The foundation is laid.
07:47Now it's up to the builders.
07:49Their job is an extreme high-wire act, like building the great bridges and cathedrals in times past.
08:04The six million gallons of water in this tank provide the closest thing there is to working weightless.
08:10You practice on life-size models of the station.
08:18Before it's finally finished, these crews will have made 160 spacewalks.
08:24That's two and a half times all the previous spacewalks ever done.
08:30Critics say that's too many.
08:32The risk is too high.
08:36All eyes are on the next flight.
08:38The shuttle Discovery will take the first assembly crew to station.
08:44The commander of the flight is Brian Duffy.
08:48Pamela Melroy is the pilot.
08:54We're in orbit 250 miles up.
09:00The station is 45 feet away.
09:03That's Africa going by behind me.
09:05We're getting ready to dock with our house in space.
09:12Our crew is going to hook up the basics.
09:15Wiring, plumbing, and foam.
09:19One of the key members of the team is mission specialist Koichi Wakata.
09:23When I was five years old and I saw the Apollo lunar landing, that was the start of my longing for space flight.
09:34But I thought that kind of thing was beyond my reach, something that was at the time impossible to achieve or to do as a Japanese.
09:42Koichi Wakata.
09:43I was moving the robot arm very slowly since the Z1 truss weighs about 18,000 pounds.
10:01And Koichi nails it.
10:13Another piece perfectly in place.
10:17Koichi, you're the man.
10:18Everybody was cheering me and somebody was saying, you are the man.
10:24And that was a great moment.
10:27You should have a 50 millimeter camera.
10:29Okay, I've got a camera with a 50 millimeter.
10:31Leroy Chow and Bill MacArthur, known as Billy Mac, get ready for the first spacewalk.
10:36And a 3-8 ratchet drive with a 2-inch extension on.
10:39In their suits, they can survive up to eight hours in temperatures of plus to minus 250 degrees.
10:49In conditions like that, you've got to keep your sense of humor.
10:53These guys are huge fans of Austin Powers.
11:00The commander gives Leroy and Billy Mac their send-off in the airlock before they move outside.
11:05The second team, Jeff Weisoff and Mike Lopez-Alegria, known as L.A., seal off the inside hatch behind them.
11:25Their number one task is to deploy the next piece, the station's communications antenna.
11:31How cool is this?
11:35They push it manually into place.
11:44The all-important telephone is in.
11:50Now, the wiring.
11:53These cables are being laid out for another crew to connect on a later flight.
11:59They'll provide power to the science lab when it arrives.
12:05Every day, I operated the robotic arm to help by putting one spacewalker at the tip of the robot arm to move him to a location that he needs to do spacewalk activities.
12:28Leroy is going to install this toolbox for future crews to use for future crews to use.
12:35Inside is an array of special tools any home improvement fan would envy.
12:37Inside is an array of special tools any home improvement fan would envy.
12:44The game has been fielded by the cyber-training department.
12:45Theelu was going to be a part of the fire-trip.
12:46Theelu is going to knock him out for two files.
12:47Theius of the Enterprise-Alegria and the new vehicle is going to take into place.
12:48The parole is going to be a part of the apartment.
12:49You always want to be sure you're securely anchored, but if you did come unhooked, here's
13:09a device that could save your life.
13:13It's a personal jetpack called Safer.
13:16It's also very cool.
13:18It fits on your back and could power you back to safety.
13:22We saw it put to the test in the virtual reality lab.
13:27Now we're going to try it out for real.
13:34Jeff is riding on the arm, watching, in case anything goes wrong.
13:39L.A., flying on the right, is now powered by his jetpack.
13:51Just in case, he's attached by a thin wire.
13:57But he didn't need it after all.
14:03The test is a great success.
14:10Discovery pulls away, leaving the space station in orbit.
14:15So far, all the pieces have connected without a hitch.
14:22At the top is Zvezda.
14:24That's where the crews will live.
14:26Below it is Zarya, kind of a big float-through closet for storage.
14:30And at the bottom, the truss and the unity node, where the next additions will be attached.
14:37The station's now ready for people.
14:44We're in Kazakhstan, at the Russian spaceport.
14:47Yuri Gagarin, the very first man in space, launched from here.
14:51Forty years later, this crew is getting ready to live on the space station.
14:57Two are Russian cosmonauts, Yuri Gagarinka and Sergei Krikalov.
15:03The crew's commander is an American, Bill Shepard, known as Shep.
15:07His wife, Beth, is the astronaut fitness trainer.
15:10I was fortunate in that I was there in the capacity of his strength and conditioning coach,
15:17whereas the Russian families were not able to come at all.
15:20They stayed in Star City.
15:21Many languages on station...
15:23In the glare of the world's press, it isn't easy to find a few last, quiet moments alone together.
15:30This is the walkway they begin after the first cosmonaut flew.
15:34Everybody that flew has a tree here.
15:36Gagarin's tree would be...
15:38When Shep and I were walking down that row of trees, which is very historic,
15:43it was just hard for me to believe that we were finally here at this place
15:46because he had worked so hard, we had worked so hard for him to be there.
15:50And for us to finally be there together, to think about the people that had come and gone,
15:57and to know that this person next to me, my husband, was going to be a part of that history.
16:03And that was a very special time for us.
16:07Shep and his crew will be gone in space for over four months.
16:16The International Space Station is a way for us to learn how we can go to other planets
16:23and explore other ways to live outside Earth.
16:28I think that's really exciting.
16:30I wanted to go, too.
16:32The crew will launch to station aboard a Soyuz rocket,
16:53the workhorse of the Russian space program.
16:55program. An unbelievable 406 launches have gone from this pad.
17:10Very unexpected for me, being out on the launch pad, very foggy day, having several
17:16hundred people right at the base of the rocket, which for an American launch would be very
17:21unusual, unheard of. Being able to have such close contact with friends and family who
17:27are right there, right in the middle of this, final moments before you're ready to go fly
17:31was really exciting, really special.
17:35After everything you went through, seeing your face on launch day made it all worth it.
17:40He was so happy.
17:44Get those shuttles ready!
17:55Imagine, three guys in their gear, inside a capsule the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.
18:02And it's a two day trip.
18:05The biggest risk is just getting out of the US atmosphere to a safe orbit.
18:11Once you're at the end of the powered flight and you're floating around in orbit, then you
18:22can sit back and say, boy, I'm glad that we have gotten that done successfully.
18:41Sitting in your couch with your knees bent up almost to your chin for hours at a time, it's pretty uncomfortable.
19:02But the Soyuz is very reliable. It's got a lot of capability to get you up into space and get you back on a bad day.
19:13The house will be dark when they arrive. They can't be sure what lies in wait for them.
19:19Their job is to open everything up for the first time, then get it all working.
19:32Be prepared for the unexpected.
19:35They're set to go.
19:38But after two days in the capsule with your knees and your chin, you've got a few other priorities.
19:44Put together an ace Soyuz pilot like Yuri.
19:55Sergei, a man who's already logged more than a year and a half in space.
19:59And a Navy SEAL for a commander.
20:02And you've got the right stuff for the job.
20:05After we got the node open, it started to seem like a really expansive place because we all have memories of being in much more confined spaces like Soyuz and even in the shuttle.
20:22When I came to the Zvezda for the first time, it looked for me as home.
20:32And that was a place where we stay and live and sleep.
20:37I was thinking we were here.
20:39It has life support equipment, guidance and navigation, jets to control the station, to move it around in space.
20:47Because if we weren't here, we wouldn't be seeing what we see in the mountain.
20:50We have several windows looking down.
20:54We have to exercise every day to stay fit.
20:57And even after a relatively short flight, you feel difference in your muscles.
21:03When we did this exercise near the window, every time you turn the pedal, you fly several kilometers.
21:09It's more impressive to say, I run the bike from Paris to China.
21:17Probably nicest thing in sleep compartment is a window.
21:22From space, you don't see any borders.
21:24You really don't see where United States ends and then Mexico starts.
21:30You feel yourself part of humankind, not just man from one country or one city.
21:40Of course, on Earth, we take things like air and water for granted.
21:45But here, the supply is limited.
21:48You can't survive without it, so you have to recycle it continuously.
21:59You need a degree in plumbing to keep all your life support systems running.
22:03And breakdowns do happen.
22:05In the future, crews traveling to other planets will have to rely on repair skills like this.
22:11There are no replacement parts available on Mars.
22:17KD-5FAL, this is NA-1SS.
22:20Go ahead with your left hand.
22:21AB-5A, this is Adam Gittleman.
22:23My question for you is, what did it take for you to become an astronaut?
22:26Over.
22:27What's the best way to become an astronaut?
22:30To stay in school and be the best student you can.
22:33That's because education is a lifelong thing.
22:36It doesn't stop when you leave school and walk out the door.
22:39It's something that will go on for your whole life.
22:42That's what we'd recommend.
22:45Hi, I'm Santosh Bhavani.
22:48How do you take showers in space, and if you use water, how does the water flow?
22:51On ham radio, kids all over the world can talk to the crews about their home in space.
22:57Soon, there's to be a huge new addition to it.
23:03Back at Kennedy Space Center, Destiny, the station's science laboratory.
23:13Perhaps its most important component is loaded into the cargo bay of the orbiter Atlantis.
23:33It's about to have company.
23:37Shep, Yuri, and Sergei are about to have company.
23:44Welcome, Atlantis.
23:46Hey, guys, come on in.
23:48Atlantis is here with a long-awaited laboratory.
23:52Like kids in a candy store, the shuttle crew gleefully explores the station for the first time.
23:59Yes, it's true.
24:01Hey.
24:02Good to see you.
24:03Good to see you.
24:04Good to see you.
24:05Good to see you.
24:06In honor of the occasion, they wear very special socks.
24:10Here I am.
24:12Houston, Atlantis, broadcasting from Destiny.
24:16Copy a great first moment here.
24:18And the lab looks and feels and smells great.
24:22And looks like all the hard work has really paid off.
24:25It's a beautiful piece of hardware.
24:27A lot of these flights are transfer flights.
24:29And so we're transferring various different supplies.
24:31We bring them clothing and water.
24:35That's a water bag.
24:36And every now and then, we bring them a woman.
24:38Atlantis, Houston.
24:40If you could ask Roman, please message what they did with that rack.
24:46It'll take a few more flights to get the lab up and running.
24:49But when it's ready, we can do experiments and make discoveries here in zero gravity that we just can't back on Earth.
24:57Oh, well done.
24:58Well done.
24:59Well done.
25:00I go out walking after midnight
25:05Out in the moonlight
25:08Just like we used to do
25:10I'm always walking after midnight
25:15Atlantis pulls away.
25:34Cargo bay empty.
25:36There are probably times, certainly over the holidays,
26:05when you were able to correspond by email, talk over the radio to friends and family on the ground.
26:12You knew there were things going on that you'd certainly like to be a part of and you were missing.
26:18Shep's been busy, dreaming up a Christmas surprise for Beth.
26:31His name is Captain.
26:35I picked up the little puppy and that's when Shep told me Merry Christmas.
26:46Now Shep's dog Jake, who's missed him a lot, has a brand new pal.
26:50With Shep being gone a lot, Jake was my buddy.
26:53Captain is my special present from space.
26:56Shep, Sergey and Yuri will soon be home.
27:07The second crew is getting ready to take their place.
27:11Just imagine what you might be feeling in the last hours before your launch.
27:17The beach near the launch pad provides a haven for astronaut Susan Helms.
27:22I just kind of let my mind wander as I'm walking along the beach, looking at the waves.
27:27I notice dolphins out there.
27:30These are the types of things I'm not going to get to see up close and personal for several months.
27:35And I guess I realize now that I'm going to miss this.
27:41Right now I'm starting to feel a little bit homesick about Earth, even though I haven't left it yet.
27:51Before launch, the beach house retreat near the Kennedy spaceport is a quiet escape for Susan's crewmates, Yuri Usychev and Jim Voss.
28:00To be able to reach at such a beautiful place, it does give you a good feeling for the wide expanses of the Earth that we won't have while we're in the space station.
28:13Yuri, the Expedition 2 crew commander, is Russian.
28:18Susan and Jim are American mission specialists.
28:22They'll launch to the station aboard the shuttle Discovery.
28:28The suit feels good.
28:29What I really miss are the normal things I like to do, like working in my garage or working on my airplane.
28:35Taking a little time to be alone and to work quietly.
28:41I expect that when I get up there, every evening before I go to bed, I'm going to want to write some notes to people and hope that they get sent down while we're sleeping and they write back.
28:53The great thing about having trained together for three or four years is that Jim, Yuri and I have become a bit of a family.
28:59And we have come to sense each other's moods and feelings to the point where when one person ends up having difficulties of some kind and they need to get away, the rest of us understand.
29:09Okay.
29:10Make your Expedition 2 are all about to start.
29:16Bye-bye.
29:18Bye-bye.
29:20Bye-bye.
29:24Go, Mike.
29:25Go, Mike.
29:26Go, Mike.
29:27Move, Mike.
29:28Go, Mike.
29:29Go, Mike.
29:30Go, Mike.
29:31Go, Mike.
29:32T-12.
29:34All systems aboard Discovery in Fargo.
29:36T-minus 12. All systems aboard discovery and cargo.
29:4411. This mission continuing in permanent human presence.

30:35Space.
30:36OK, OK, good.
30:38Two days later, Discovery has caught up with the station and closes for docking.
31:06Shep and the crew get a spectacular view from Destiny's window.
31:16The first time I came into station, of course, the first impression is, my gosh, this is so big.
31:24And then I was surprised with how much work Expedition One had accomplished, particularly with the laboratory.
31:34Jim, Yuri and Susan are already at work in the lab.
31:38They can grow large crystals here that we can't grow in Earth's gravity.
31:43By studying how they have formed, we can learn how to make more effective medicines to cure diseases.
31:50If we ever expect to go to Mars, we have to understand how the human body will react to a really long flight.
31:57The human research facility will be an excellent source for performing human experiments to make sure we understand what happens to the human body in space.
32:06It has ultrasound technology. It's got storage for many other meters and sensors that we can attach to the human body to wear and send the data down to the scientists on the Earth so they can analyze it.
32:18It's time for the departing commander to brief his successor. Shep and his crew have done their job brilliantly.
32:30They're handing over a station that's completely up and running, ready to realize its true potential.
32:39An American and a Russian kind of exchanging this job, it was to me a historic chapter in space.
32:49A reflection of what humans can accomplish.
33:04With a last look at their dwelling in space, the crew heads home.
33:12The new tenants have already done some interior decorating.
33:18I brought about 40 snapshots.
33:21Of course, my wife and my daughter and my friends, my dog Cody.
33:27The popcorn came up already popped.
33:29Once in a while some pieces get away from us, but they generally float up to the filters.
33:34We can just clean them up when we do our weekly cleaning.
33:38Yuri Vladimirovich Usachev, extremely experienced cosmonaut.
33:44He likes working with his hands with tools and just a really nice guy.
33:49They're so much alike, the two of them. It was really funny.
33:54Each of them would come up with ideas on occasion and get the other one sucked into working on some sort of home project.
34:00They're a couple of hardware guys and I'm a software girl.
34:03It's great to live in zero G because you basically can become the world's best sportsman.
34:12You can lift up things like these bags of water which weigh probably over a hundred pounds a piece and just move them like they're feathers.
34:20And so it's really nice for someone like me who's never been much of an athlete to be able to do all these superhuman things in space that I normally wouldn't get to do.
34:34The express rack Susan is installing contains experiments that could show us the way to more powerful computer chips or lighter metals.
34:42Yuri just discovered one day that the onion had a small sprout growing at the top.
34:50So we placed it in a plastic bag with a washcloth wrapped around it.
34:54It sprouted, roots are growing.
34:56It was nice to have it around, not so much to eat, but just to see a green growing plant.
35:02The MACE experiment is how Susan entertained herself on the weekends.
35:08Yeah, I really liked working with this experiment.
35:10It was like playing with a big toy.
35:12It had moving parts and a brain.
35:16When you launch a satellite into space, the control system is the designer's best guess of how it should control its own sensors and appendages.
35:25This experiment was trying to understand how you could design a control system to teach itself to work better.
35:36Over Honshu Island in Japan, the shuttle Endeavour has arrived with a shipping container in its cargo bay.
35:43It's one of three high-tech moving vans built by the Italian Space Agency.
35:48This one's called Raffaello.
35:51Inside it, astronauts from three countries are at work.
35:56Chris Hadfield is Canadian.
35:58Yuri Lenchikov was born in Kazakhstan.
36:01And Umberto Guidoni is from Rome.
36:04Working in space really makes people boning.
36:08And I guess the fact that many countries are working on building the space station is bringing the culture and the history of each country in the space station.
36:18And somehow it changed a little bit each of us.
36:24It's not just an adventuresome place to live, but actually a pleasant and challenging and interesting place to live.
36:31I would really like the opportunity to spend part of my life there.
36:34What struck me, though, was to watch the crew that's living there.
36:39To see them view Earth as a separate place.
36:44Earth is something completely separate from them.
36:49It's an interesting step, I think, for humans to get to the point where you are now separated from your mother.
37:01And you are starting to view yourself as more of a single, separate entity heading off into the rest of the universe.
37:08If we were to have to leave the space station in the Soyuz vehicle, we'd put it in the space station.
37:26If we were to have to leave the space station in the Soyuz vehicle, we'd put on the so-called suits.
37:39All the material that's in the front of the suit is where you get into the suit.
37:43So you gather it up, and then you wrap two rubber bands around it to seal it so that it holds pressure.
37:50To get inside is a real challenge.
37:55It's one of these types of capsules where you've got three humans laying side by side like sardines.
38:09The Russians on occasion do provide two Soyuz spacecraft, and there's usually just one prime parking spot.
38:15So we need to do a little bit of choreography in order to get the right Soyuz in the right place.
38:20Okay.
38:23All three crew members need to be in the Soyuz in the event there's a risk of needing to make an emergency deorbit.
38:30The trickiest part was the redocking, where you're going to a different port,
38:35and you've got a different point of view of the space station than you had before.
38:40All of us double-checked, triple-checked everything to make sure that when we got to the new docking port
38:47that we were going to have the ability to get back inside.
38:51That, to me, was the most tense part.
38:58Things have been known to break on the outside of the space station.
39:00You have to have a way to get outside and repair the item.
39:11An airlock is required to be able to do that.
39:14The station robotic arm is what I used to lift the airlock out of the shuttle's payload bay.
39:21The joint airlock is basically like a room that we can use to go outside.
39:32It's like a porch on your space station.
39:35And its whole function in life is to allow us to do spacewalks from the space station while the shuttle is not there.
39:40At the control station where you're operating the arm, there's no window where you can look and see the arm in motion.
39:51There is no automatic collision control on that robotic arm.
39:57And all of your wits and talents are required in order to keep from ramming it into the side of the space station.
40:04Video cameras are our most trustworthy friends.
40:16It's remarkable to me that we've been able to build these things thousands of miles apart in different countries using different systems
40:25and put them together in space and for them to work.
40:28The robotic arm worked perfectly.
40:39You could not have asked for a more perfect piece of hardware.
40:51Inside, the crew moves the airlock's inner hatch into position.
40:55Now, you can take a walk outside the station whenever you need to.
41:01But first, you have to get your body ready.
41:04If you don't, you get crippling pains called the bends.
41:10Now, I'm a diver.
41:12And every diver knows you don't ever want to get the bends.
41:16Astronaut Mike Gernhardt is also a diver.
41:20Before going outside, he breathes pure oxygen while he's exercising.
41:23That'll get the pain-causing nitrogen bubbles out of his blood much faster.
41:26The front door to this station is now open.
41:41Its construction is ongoing.
41:43And soon additions from Europe and Japan will enhance this incredibly versatile and unique laboratory.
41:49Here, we can expand our knowledge of things that affect our daily lives and learn how natural events and people are affecting our fragile environment.
42:01That's worth all the risks and something to celebrate.
42:06And Atlanta, Houston, somewhere in the world, it's still Janet's birthday.
42:16All right.
42:17I'll ask you that orc.
42:19Who wants some lemonade?
42:21Thank you, Simone.
42:22Come on.
42:23Over here.
42:24Yuri?
42:25Oh, okay.
42:26Yuri, got it that time.
42:28Janet.
42:29Steve.
42:31Let's go Scorch.
42:33Scorch.
42:34Scorch.
42:35Scorch.
42:36Wow!
42:37Oh, wow.
42:38Wow.
43:07to space
43:11On the roof is peaceful as can be
43:19And there the world below can bother me
43:25Let me tell you now when I come home
43:29Feeling tired and lonely
43:31I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
43:35On the roof
43:39I get away from the hustling crowds
43:43And all that reckless noise down in the streets
43:47On the roof
43:51At night the stars put on a show for free
43:57And darling you can share it all with me
44:03I keep on telling you right smack down
44:07Space is a very special place
44:11Without gravity you can see and feel
44:15And try things you can't do anywhere else
44:19In search of a better life on earth
44:21And away from earth
44:37One day you too may visit the space station
44:41You might be an engineer
44:43Inventing a whole new technology
44:51You could be a doctor
44:53Or an ecologist studying the earth
44:57Or you could be planning a trip to another planet
45:01This is your test bed
45:03Only tomorrow
45:05Only tomorrow knows
45:07Only tomorrow knows what you'll discover
45:09Only tomorrow knows what you'll discover
