National Geographic: Space Launch Along for the Ride (2011)

What does it feel like to be blasted into space? What's it like to travel at twenty eight thousand kilometers an hour? To experience three times the force of gravity, then suddenly float weightless in micro-gravity? Join us as we go behind the scenes of a manned space launch from the Russian Baikonur Cosmodrome. Meet the three men who ride the rocket: the cosmonaut, the astronaut, and the space tourist as they complete their final days of training. See how the giant Soyuz rocket is assembled and prepared for its voyage. Go inside Mission Control in Moscow to follow a day in the life of the lead flight director. Join us, as we take you out of this world...and back again.
