Interview with Mission Specialist Dr. John M. Grunsfeld (Hubble 3D)

Through the power of IMAX 3D, Hubble 3D will enable moviegoers to journey through distant galaxies to explore the mysteries of our celestial surroundings, and accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult and important tasks in NASA's history. The film offers an inspiring and unique look into the Hubble Space Telescope's legacy and highlights its profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves. Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, Hubble 3D is produced and directed by Toni Myers.

John Grunsfield, a veteran of five previous space flights, joined six fellow astronauts on a mission of a lifetime. The experienced crew flew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis to repair the Hubble telescope and document their mission for Hubble 3D.

Tribute's Bonnie Laufer had the exclusive opportunity to chat with Grunsfield in Washington D.C. about his specific duties aboard the shuttle and what it was like to be a part of this extraordinary movie.
