Link to The universe: (S3) 11- Edge of space documentary
Documentary Description
Low Earth Orbit, 120 miles above sea level, is where the majority of
space exploration has occurred. This 1,100 mile band around Earth is
where--for a cool $20 million--any private citizen can take the
vacation of his or her life on the International Space Station.
Commercial prospects for LEO are huge; but dangers lurk for any
individual willing to travel here--radiation, cosmic rays, and space
debris numbering in the thousands threaten any spacecraft traveling in
orbit. It's the new frontier, or the final frontier...and the
possibilities are endless if you are willing to travel to the edge of
space exploration.
