A pilot at the Aerospace Research Pilot School in Edwards Air Force Base, California, is seen seated in the Reaction control simulator used to practice controlling space vehicles. He reaches up to pull down a cover. An Air Force Sergeant, monitoring the device, secures it and small hatch at its front. Next, the camera focuses on the simulator, which is seen to move very slowly under the control of the pilot inside. After a while, the simulator makes a significant turn to the left, followed by an increase in elevation, and a turn to the right and what appears to be a return to its initial starting position.
