WS shuttle on launch pad, engine starts, huge white smoke. CU engine at lift off. CU nose of shuttle as it take off. MS shuttle lifting off and beginning its rotation. Passes through light clouds. MS something (rocket booster?) falling in blue sky- thick white plume of smoke. Blurry shot of shuttle - orange flare as rocket boosters separate and slowly fall away.

View of earth from shuttle (blue curve against black background). View of mountain range from shuttle - topography fills frame then zooms out to show curve of the earth, black space. Another close shot of mountainous topography, and wider shots of the blue planet ( really nice shots).

Daily life on a space shuttle. Astronaut heats up some food, shaves. Other astronauts float around - one brushes his teeth. Another 'pours' liquid soap onto a washcloth and washes himself. CU sign "Urine collection" Shot of toilet. Astronaut zips himself into his sleeping bag contraption and goes to sleep. Another guy exercises on a treadmill.

Astronauts take truns at zero-gravity backflips in a confined area. Wacky weightless fun and games. One astronaut - with his shirt wrapped on his head, a fake eye patch on and a metal rod in his mouth - floats to the camera like a pirate in pursuit of? Then, a games of zero-gravity baseball with an edible ball (looks like m&ms) that gets 'batted' into the pitcher's mouth! Then a game of football - these guys are having a good time.

Austronauts get suited up in their orange flight suits - looks like they're getting ready to go home. Good shots of them at flight controls, screens and monitors in view. View out the window with pulsating orange flares. Another view inside the cockpit - bright daylight through windows (kind of blows out the shot - not great).

View from ground of shuttle landing. Landing gear comes down. Cuts to closer shot of shuttle landing towards camera. Touches down, camera tracks as it slows. Cu Astronauts exit the shuttle - jog down the stairs.
