Docking with the twirling station without the usual computer-guided assistance is beyond the skill of any cosmonaut still on the roster, and there's a long, tense lead-up to the point where flight commander Valery (Aleksandr Samoylenko) finally asks Vladimir to return to the program and pilot the Soyuz for a daring salvage-and-rescue mission.
