In this short scene, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Lunar Module Crew prepares to leave the International Space Station for the first time since its launch on July 20, 1969. The crew is joined by a Japanese astronaut, who has just returned from a six-month mission to the moon, and the director of the agency, Daniel Eldon. Eldon welcomes everyone to the "next giant leap, national moon day" and the "60th anniversary" of the Apollo moon landing. The crew uses a sewing machine to make a piece of cake with the words "we are space brothers" written on it. The cake is shaped like a space star, which is symbolic of humankind's journey to outer space.
