Like an Orb video that really happened: 'First Orbit' - Film about 50th Anniversary of Gagarin's First Orbit

Gets fairly mental about a third of the way in.

A real time recreation of Yuri Gagarin's pioneering first orbit, shot entirely in space from on board the International Space Station. The film combines this new footage with Gagarin's original mission audio and a new musical score by composer Philip Sheppard. For more information visit http://www.firstorbit.org/
