Operation Space Station: High Risk Build

At South Chicago, the Community Cinema series screens a documentary in which astronauts and Mission Control insiders recall the most harrowing moments from the International Space Station's construction — including ammonia leaks, shuttle disasters, and a spacewalk that went badly wrong. The hour-long, not-rated film plays on Saturday, October 24, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM, with English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. It's part of the 2026 One Book, One Chicago season, which explores Samantha Harvey's novel *Orbital*.
