Originally Posted By danyoung It's entirely possible, Jim, although my feeble brain seems to place them just as you're coming out of the planetarium area, just before the virtual classroom. I could be wrong, tho.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I think Dan was right. I remember the astronaut doing a spacewalk, while a female astronaut guided him from inside the spaceship. I think this was removed when the Jeremy Irons narration was added. I'll have to check my old videos of the attraction to be sure.

Originally Posted By imtigger2 Ha! I was just coming around to the second page of comments to say, "isn't that from Horizons?" and here it is!! That segment from Horizons is one of my fav's, especially the music.. it's the best and THE music featured on most of the WDW CD's that used to feature Horizons. Remember after that scene? In the background you saw this HUGE floating space station, then you went inside it. Wow. Remember the large OmniMax (Imax to you youngin's) screens with the DNA? If you were lucky enough to time it right you can fly through the DNA strand and the effect was incredible. Thanks for the memories Doobie and Rebekah! 8) Dan B Carlsbad, CA
