Walt Disney World partnered with Hewlett-Packard to open Mission SPACE in 2003, a high-tech space flight simulator attraction. However, Disney quickly became embroiled in a lawsuit with the manufacturer, and the intense motion sickness led to the death of two people.

Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Ryan Gillie.
