STS-111 Mission Specialist 2 Franklin Chang-Diaz is seen during this interview, where he gives a quick overview of the mission before answering questions about his inspiration to become an astronaut and his career path. Chang-Diaz outlines his role in the mission in general, and specifically during the extravehicular activities (EVAs). He describes in great detail his duties in the three EVAs which involved preparing the Mobile Remote Servicer Base System (MBS) for installation onto the Space Station's Mobile Transporter, attaching the MBS onto the Space Station and replacing a wrist roll joint on the station's robot arm. Chang-Diaz also discusses the science experiments which are being brought on board the Space Station by the STS-111 mission. He also offers thoughts on how the International Space Station (ISS) fits into NASA's vision and how his previous space mission experience will benefit the STS-111 flight.

The Neutral Buoyancy Lab Extravehicular Activity training (NBL) (EVA), CETA Bolt Familiarization, and Photography TV instruction are also presented.
The first flight day of the STS-113 begins with a live shot of the Space Shuttle Endeavor at the Kennedy Space Center. The STS-113 crew consists of Commander Jim Wetherbee, Pilot Paul Lockhart, and Mission Specialists Michael Lopez-Alegria, and John Herrington. The STS-113 crewmembers are accompanied Expedition 6 astronauts Kenneth Bowersox, Donald Pettit and Nikolai Budarin.

The actual STS-112 launch with flight deck activity during rendezvous with the International Space Station is also presented.
Experiments on steady, spherically-symmetric premixed-gas flames ("flame balls") performed on STS-107 are described. These experiments were motivated by results obtained on earlier Space Shuttle missions. The motivation and objectives for the STS-107 experiments are described, along with the results obtained. Among the highlights of STS-107 were the weakest flames ever burned either on earth or in space (about 0.5 Watt of heat release), the leanest flames ever burned either on earth or in space, and the longest-lived flame ever burned in space. While many of the questions left unresolved from the earlier space flights were answered, some new and as yet unexplained phenomena were found, for example flame balls migrating in spiral patterns. Nonetheless, flame ball experiments have provided an insight into the interactions of the two most important phenomena in combusting materials, namely chemical reaction and transport processes, in the unequivocally simplest possible configuration.
