Thanks to him, you will discover the world of space. Images that you are going to see are taken without special effects. The cameraman accompanying those he films, this world will seem almost one of immobility. And yet, all this happens at 200 km per hour, in free fall, in a vacuum. A gesture of the arm and its change of direction or another move and he goes into a spin.
