Series 1: 3. Politics Always Wins
In 1996, NASA unveils its largest-ever team of astronauts: 44 individuals tasked with the colossal undertaking of building the International Space Station, piece by piece, in orbit.\n\nWhile the ISS is a symbol of global unity, its financial demands are straining Russia's already-struggling economy. Russia's own beloved Mir space station is paying the price. Facing the high cost of maintenance, Mir's days are numbered - unless money can be found to save it.
