Features: The era of the Mir space station was a peculiar exploration era since humans first landed on the Moon. Astronauts from 24 countries stayed in this space villa for 130 people, almost without interruption for ten years, conducting various scientific experiments, breaking many world records, and sometimes nearly experiencing disasters. Pierre Colle intends to recount this remarkable story. He uses the thread of his last mission to narrate. In this last mission, Jean-Pierre Haignere spent six months in space. He describes life on the space station, as well as important moments such as spacewalks, the tension of daily life, the excitement of departure, the anxiety of returning to Earth, terrifying crises, and the joy of camaraderie, even love.
