1
00:00:02,454 --> 00:00:03,413
I'm here in Pasadena
2
00:00:03,455 --> 00:00:05,248
with the NASA
Mission Control team
3
00:00:05,290 --> 00:00:08,085
as they celebrate
scientific history--
4
00:00:08,127 --> 00:00:11,254
the first close-up photographic
transmissions of Mars
5
00:00:11,296 --> 00:00:14,049
from the Viking observer
spacecraft--
6
00:00:14,091 --> 00:00:16,259
photos that have created
something of a stir
7
00:00:16,301 --> 00:00:19,262
by revealing surprising
geologic information--
8
00:00:19,304 --> 00:00:21,473
the presence
of large amounts of water
9
00:00:21,514 --> 00:00:25,518
locked in Mars' polar ice caps,
water that some speculate
10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,647
could have possibly
sustained life on the planet.
11
00:00:28,688 --> 00:00:32,275
Even more controversial is
one image of a land formation--
12
00:00:32,317 --> 00:00:36,071
a formation that looks
like a sculpted human face.
13
00:00:36,113 --> 00:00:38,573
However,
NASA officials are denying it
14
00:00:38,615 --> 00:00:41,910
as an indication
of an alien civilization.
15
00:00:41,952 --> 00:00:44,287
No, it's nothing more than
a trick of light and shadows--
16
00:00:44,329 --> 00:00:46,206
a geologic anomaly.
17
00:00:46,247 --> 00:00:48,208
I'm afraid
the only sculptors at work
18
00:00:48,249 --> 00:00:50,543
are the solar winds that blow
across the surface of Mars
19
00:00:50,585 --> 00:00:54,047
at 300 miles an hour,
ten months a year.
20
00:01:21,074 --> 00:01:23,160
(grunting)
21
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:33,503
BELT:
I'm seeing... I've got...
22
00:01:33,545 --> 00:01:35,380
HOUSTON:
How's it going out there?
23
00:01:35,421 --> 00:01:36,589
There's something out here!
24
00:01:36,631 --> 00:01:38,424
Can you repeat that,
Commander Belt?
25
00:01:38,466 --> 00:01:40,426
It's coming at me!
26
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:42,012
Holy God!

Pick up terminal sequence, NPS.
29
00:03:04,177 --> 00:03:05,511
You have a go
to proceed.
30
00:03:05,553 --> 00:03:07,472
Booster hydraulic power
units have started.
31
00:03:07,513 --> 00:03:08,932
This is Shuttle

32
00:03:08,974 --> 00:03:11,310
with T-minus one minute,
15 seconds and counting.
33
00:03:11,351 --> 00:03:12,936

00:03:14,104 --> 00:03:15,438
Go ahead.
Roger that.
36
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,648
OVCC verified.

39
00:03:20,735 --> 00:03:22,362
CDR Houston,
how do you read?
40
00:03:22,403 --> 00:03:23,696
Loud and clear.
41
00:03:23,738 --> 00:03:25,448
Side hatch close out
and white room
42
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:27,826

00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:30,703
Retracting orbiter arm.

00:03:30,745 --> 00:03:32,497
OMS pressure on.
45
00:03:32,538 --> 00:03:34,457
Cabin vent complete.
Roger, we see that.
46
00:03:34,499 --> 00:03:35,875
All systems go
for APU start.
47
00:03:35,917 --> 00:03:38,086
Transfer
to internal power now.
48
00:03:38,128 --> 00:03:39,838
Pre-start complete.
APU to inhibit.
49
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,466
Oxygen vent hood
retracted.
50
00:03:43,508 --> 00:03:45,468
External tank

51
00:03:45,510 --> 00:03:47,470
Lock your visors
and initiate your O2 flow.
52
00:03:47,512 --> 00:03:49,514
Y'all have a good trip.
53
00:03:49,555 --> 00:03:52,392
Roger that.
54
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:54,353
T-minus 20 seconds and counting.
55
00:03:55,687 --> 00:03:57,480
Go for auto-sequence start.
56
00:03:57,522 --> 00:04:00,275
Booster hydraulic power units
have started.
57
00:04:00,317 --> 00:04:02,568

four, three...
61
00:04:12,412 --> 00:04:14,914
Abort liftoff.
Abort liftoff.
62
00:04:14,956 --> 00:04:16,749
System failure.
Abort liftoff.
63
00:04:16,791 --> 00:04:18,710
Repeat: we have
an abort liftoff
64
00:04:18,751 --> 00:04:20,461
at T-minus
three seconds.
65
00:04:23,548 --> 00:04:25,508
SCULLY:
What did the note say?
66
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:27,593
Just that they worked for NASA.
67
00:04:27,635 --> 00:04:29,804
They wanted to talk to somebody
68
00:04:29,846 --> 00:04:31,390
from the FBI.
69
00:04:31,431 --> 00:04:34,351
Why the cloak-and-dagger
routine?
70
00:04:34,393 --> 00:04:35,518
I have no idea.
71
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,561
Think it's a crank?
72
00:04:36,602 --> 00:04:39,564
It's beginning to look that way.
73
00:04:41,566 --> 00:04:44,610
(indistinct chatter)
74
00:04:52,077 --> 00:04:54,037
My name is
Michelle Generoo.
75
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:55,538
Fox Mulder.
76
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:57,040
I sent you the note.
77
00:04:57,082 --> 00:04:58,541
Hi. Special Agent
Dana Scully.
78
00:04:58,583 --> 00:05:01,461
I'm sorry to have
to take these precautions.
79
00:05:01,502 --> 00:05:03,629
I flew up from Houston
this morning.
80
00:05:03,671 --> 00:05:05,840
I work
at the space center there.
81
00:05:05,882 --> 00:05:08,218
In what capacity?
82
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:09,635
I'm the Mission Control
communications commander
83
00:05:09,677 --> 00:05:11,263
for the space shuttle program.
84
00:05:12,555 --> 00:05:14,266
What brings you to Washington?
85
00:05:14,307 --> 00:05:16,559
I have reason to believe
that there may be
86
00:05:16,601 --> 00:05:17,810
a saboteur at work inside NASA.
87
00:05:17,852 --> 00:05:20,355
You have evidence of sabotage?
88
00:05:20,397 --> 00:05:21,647
I don't know. I may.
89
00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:24,567
Two weeks ago
90
00:05:24,609 --> 00:05:27,153
a shuttle mission was scrubbed
three seconds before liftoff
91
00:05:27,195 --> 00:05:29,572
when an auxiliary
power unit valve malfunctioned.
92
00:05:29,614 --> 00:05:30,990
If the flight
had not been aborted,
93
00:05:31,032 --> 00:05:32,409
there was a great chance
94
00:05:32,451 --> 00:05:34,035
the liquid fuel system
and the orbiter
95
00:05:34,077 --> 00:05:36,579
would have exploded
on the launchpad.
96
00:05:36,621 --> 00:05:39,540
This was sent to
me in the mail.
97
00:05:41,626 --> 00:05:44,379
It's a material analysis
that shows deep-grooved
98
00:05:44,421 --> 00:05:48,300
scoring marks inside
this APU valve--
99
00:05:48,341 --> 00:05:51,677
marks that could have
caused a malfunction.
100
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:53,596
Evidence of tampering?
101
00:05:53,638 --> 00:05:56,599
That's what
it looks like, but...
102
00:05:56,641 --> 00:05:58,601
according to the person
who gave me your names,
103
00:05:58,643 --> 00:05:59,644
you have expertise
104
00:05:59,685 --> 00:06:01,438
in unexplained
phenomena.
105
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,814
And what's
unexplainable
106
00:06:02,855 --> 00:06:04,690
is how and when anybody
could have done it.
107
00:06:04,732 --> 00:06:06,485
How do you mean?
108
00:06:06,526 --> 00:06:08,236
The valve is made
of ferrocarbon titanium.
109
00:06:08,278 --> 00:06:11,030
To score that material would
take extreme temperatures--
110
00:06:11,072 --> 00:06:12,698
launchpad temperatures.
111
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:14,700
If anyone at NASA were to
take a look at that analysis,
112
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,619
they would say
that it would be impossible
113
00:06:16,661 --> 00:06:18,621
for anyone to do
that type of damage undetected.
114
00:06:18,663 --> 00:06:21,874
Do you have any idea
who may have sent that to you?
115
00:06:21,916 --> 00:06:25,545
No, no idea, but I can tell you
that the official analysis
116
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:27,630
of the malfunction was
simple mechanical failure.
117
00:06:27,672 --> 00:06:28,881
MULDER: Does anybody share
your suspicions?
118
00:06:28,923 --> 00:06:30,633
If they do,
119
00:06:30,675 --> 00:06:32,635
they're not talking to the FBI.
120
00:06:32,677 --> 00:06:35,096
I believe in the
space program,
121
00:06:35,138 --> 00:06:36,681
I believe in the people
who run it,
122
00:06:36,722 --> 00:06:38,975
but there's
another launch window tomorrow.
123
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:42,521
And my reasons
may sound selfish,
124
00:06:42,562 --> 00:06:44,647
but my fiancé is
a shuttle commander
125
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:47,275
on that mission.
126
00:06:50,695 --> 00:06:52,655
SCULLY: Why would
somebody want to sabotage
127
00:06:52,697 --> 00:06:53,823
the space shuttle?
128
00:06:53,865 --> 00:06:55,825
Well, if you were
a terrorist,
129
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:57,910
there probably isn't
a more potent symbol
130
00:06:57,952 --> 00:07:00,455
of American progress
and prosperity,
131
00:07:00,497 --> 00:07:02,290
and if you're an opponent
of Big Science,
132
00:07:02,332 --> 00:07:04,750
NASA itself represents
a vast money trench
133
00:07:04,792 --> 00:07:06,378
that exists outside
the crucible and debate
134
00:07:06,419 --> 00:07:07,670
of the democratic process.
135
00:07:07,712 --> 00:07:10,256
And, of course,
there are those futurists
136
00:07:10,298 --> 00:07:12,258
who believe the space shuttle
is a rusty old bucket
137
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,135
that should be mothballed,
138
00:07:14,177 --> 00:07:16,262
a dinosaur spacecraft
built in the '70s
139
00:07:16,304 --> 00:07:18,681
by scientists
setting their sights on space
140
00:07:18,723 --> 00:07:20,350
in an ever-declining scale.
141
00:07:20,392 --> 00:07:21,976
And we thought
we could rest easy
142
00:07:22,018 --> 00:07:23,686
with the fall
of the Soviet Union.
143
00:07:23,728 --> 00:07:25,980
Not to mention
certain fringe elements
144
00:07:26,022 --> 00:07:29,067
who accuse our government itself
of space sabotage--
145
00:07:29,108 --> 00:07:30,985
the failure
of the Hubble Telescope
146
00:07:31,027 --> 00:07:32,362
and the Mars Observer
147
00:07:32,404 --> 00:07:34,280
are directly connected
to a conspiracy
148
00:07:34,322 --> 00:07:35,323
to deny us evidence.
149
00:07:35,365 --> 00:07:36,782
Evidence of what?
150
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:39,869
Alien civilizations.
151
00:07:39,911 --> 00:07:41,580
Oh, of course.
152
00:07:48,753 --> 00:07:51,631
Wow, look at that--
Gemini Eight.
153
00:07:51,672 --> 00:07:52,715
What?
154
00:07:52,757 --> 00:07:53,966
The man we're going to see--
155
00:07:54,008 --> 00:07:55,718
Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt--
156
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,096
nearly died on that mission,
had to make an emergency landing
157
00:07:58,137 --> 00:07:59,764
right in the middle
of the Pacific Ocean.
158
00:07:59,805 --> 00:08:00,723
You remember
all that stuff?
159
00:08:00,765 --> 00:08:02,392
You never wanted
to be an astronaut
160
00:08:02,434 --> 00:08:03,518
when you were a kid, Scully?
161
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,562
Guess I missed
that phase.
162
00:08:07,772 --> 00:08:09,690
BELT:
Come in.
163
00:08:11,359 --> 00:08:12,652
Colonel Belt.
164
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:14,112
I'm Special Agent
Dana Scully.
165
00:08:14,153 --> 00:08:15,780
And this is...
166
00:08:15,821 --> 00:08:17,449
Colonel Belt.
167
00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:19,742
Fox Mulder. I'm a big fan.
168
00:08:19,784 --> 00:08:22,454
It's an honor
to meet you.
169
00:08:22,495 --> 00:08:24,163
You, you were a big hero to me
170
00:08:24,205 --> 00:08:25,748
when I was a kid.
Thank you.
171
00:08:25,790 --> 00:08:27,750
I-I stayed up all
night when I was 14
172
00:08:27,792 --> 00:08:29,752
to watch your spacewalk.
173
00:08:29,794 --> 00:08:33,256
Well, now it's like
a stroll around the block.
174
00:08:34,507 --> 00:08:37,843
So... how can I help you?
175
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:42,056
This found its
way to the FBI.
176
00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:44,850
Do you recognize it?
177
00:08:47,812 --> 00:08:50,607
Sure. It's an auxiliary
power unit valve.
178
00:08:50,649 --> 00:08:52,775
Do you have
any reason to believe
179
00:08:52,817 --> 00:08:54,611
that the damage
done to it
180
00:08:54,653 --> 00:08:57,780
was in an effort to sabotage
the space shuttle program?
181
00:08:57,822 --> 00:08:59,949
No.
182
00:08:59,991 --> 00:09:02,619
Do you have any reason
to suspect sabotage at all?
183
00:09:02,661 --> 00:09:03,869
No reason whatsoever.
184
00:09:03,911 --> 00:09:05,788
And if you have any respect
for this program
185
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:09,792
and for the people who have
devoted their lives to it,
186
00:09:09,834 --> 00:09:12,420
you'll be careful to whom
you make those accusations.
187
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,257
Looking at this evidence, sir,
188
00:09:16,299 --> 00:09:18,884
would you consider postponing
the shuttle flight
189
00:09:18,926 --> 00:09:20,595
until a full investigation
190
00:09:20,637 --> 00:09:22,972
could be conducted?
191
00:09:23,014 --> 00:09:25,808
Look, I don't know where
you got this specious artifact,
192
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:27,810
but I can assure you
every precaution has been taken
193
00:09:27,852 --> 00:09:29,312
to rectify the problem.
194
00:09:29,354 --> 00:09:31,690
We've been
waiting two weeks
195
00:09:31,731 --> 00:09:34,484
for a window to
initiate this mission.
196
00:09:34,526 --> 00:09:36,611
We've got a payload to deliver.
197
00:09:36,653 --> 00:09:38,446
Colonel Belt,
has an internal investigation
198
00:09:38,488 --> 00:09:40,281
ever been done on this matter?
199
00:09:40,323 --> 00:09:41,824
The part you have here
200
00:09:41,866 --> 00:09:44,827
has been installed,
inspected, and designed
201
00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:47,622
by over 100
highly trained technicians.
202
00:09:47,664 --> 00:09:49,457
With the security measures
we take,
203
00:09:49,499 --> 00:09:51,834
it would be virtually impossible
204
00:09:51,876 --> 00:09:53,670
for one man working
by himself--
205
00:09:53,712 --> 00:09:55,755
or two or four men--
206
00:09:55,796 --> 00:09:58,299
to do what you're
suggesting.
207
00:09:58,341 --> 00:10:01,469
I can assure you there isn't
a person in this facility
208
00:10:01,511 --> 00:10:03,846
that doesn't want to see
that shuttle go into space,
209
00:10:03,888 --> 00:10:05,515
complete its mission,
210
00:10:05,557 --> 00:10:08,059
and come back
like winged victory herself.
211
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,312
And in about ten
hours, God willing,
212
00:10:11,354 --> 00:10:13,064
you're going to see just that.
213
00:10:13,105 --> 00:10:15,858
Do you think
there'd be a problem
214
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,528
with us watching the liftoff
from Mission Control?
215
00:10:18,570 --> 00:10:21,656
Well, being that you'd probably
go over my head anyway,
216
00:10:21,698 --> 00:10:23,700
please be my guest.
217
00:10:23,742 --> 00:10:24,825
It was an honor, sir.
218
00:10:26,703 --> 00:10:28,580
Thank you.
219
00:10:32,625 --> 00:10:35,294
Didn't you want to
get his autograph?
220
00:10:37,922 --> 00:10:40,466
MAN: Where did you
say you got this?
221
00:10:40,508 --> 00:10:42,260
SCULLY: It came to us
anonymously.
222
00:10:42,301 --> 00:10:44,303
Well, this is
an APU valve, all right.
223
00:10:44,345 --> 00:10:46,389
This doesn't make sense.
224
00:10:46,431 --> 00:10:47,890
What doesn't
make sense?
225
00:10:47,932 --> 00:10:49,350
This scoring here.
226
00:10:49,392 --> 00:10:50,976
This valve is made out
of ferrocarbon titanium.
227
00:10:51,018 --> 00:10:52,144
It's...
228
00:10:52,186 --> 00:10:53,896
You didn't order the analysis?
229
00:10:53,938 --> 00:10:55,356
No, I've never seen this before,
230
00:10:55,398 --> 00:10:56,899
but we're on outside contract
to NASA.
231
00:10:56,941 --> 00:10:59,402
They may have
ordered it.
But as a matter
232
00:10:59,444 --> 00:11:01,904
of course, wouldn't you order
a material analysis
233
00:11:01,946 --> 00:11:03,531
if a part malfunctioned?
234
00:11:03,573 --> 00:11:05,408
Every shuttle has flown
with that same APU valve.
235
00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:07,159
We haven't had a problem.
236
00:11:07,201 --> 00:11:08,911
To do an analysis and redesign
237
00:11:08,953 --> 00:11:10,496
would delay the program
for months,
238
00:11:10,538 --> 00:11:11,997
not to mention the cost.
239
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:14,500
Is it conceivable that,
in order to avoid these delays,
240
00:11:14,542 --> 00:11:15,918
the program
is being pushed ahead
241
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,087
without proper
safety precaution?
242
00:11:18,129 --> 00:11:20,715
Look, there are
about 17,000 things
243
00:11:20,757 --> 00:11:22,216
that can go wrong
with the shuttle
244
00:11:22,258 --> 00:11:25,428
and about 17,000 people
who make sure they don't.
245
00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:27,221
SCULLY: And who makes
the final determination
246
00:11:27,263 --> 00:11:28,347
as to its safety?
247
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:29,849
We make
a recommendation,
248
00:11:29,890 --> 00:11:32,769
but ultimately the decision
is Colonel Belt's.
249
00:11:32,811 --> 00:11:35,229
Thank you.
Thank you.
250
00:11:39,984 --> 00:11:41,944
What do you think?
251
00:11:41,986 --> 00:11:44,823
I can't believe how much faith
we put in machines.
252
00:11:44,864 --> 00:11:47,784
You think Colonel Belt
knows more than he's saying?
253
00:11:47,826 --> 00:11:50,369
That he lied about his knowledge
of a saboteur?
254
00:11:50,411 --> 00:11:51,954
I can't believe
that Colonel Belt
255
00:11:51,996 --> 00:11:53,414
would endanger the lives
of those astronauts,
256
00:11:53,456 --> 00:11:54,999
knowing that something
might go wrong.
257
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,670
He was
an astronaut himself.
258
00:11:58,711 --> 00:12:00,963
SCULLY: So you think
this X ray is bogus?
259
00:12:01,005 --> 00:12:04,008
God, I hope so.
260
00:12:05,635 --> 00:12:07,261
This is Shuttle
Launch Control with T-minus
261
00:12:07,303 --> 00:12:09,347

265
00:12:15,854 --> 00:12:17,438
Here we go.
266
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,857
This is Shuttle

267
00:12:18,898 --> 00:12:20,358

Port fuel cells, check.
272
00:12:28,032 --> 00:12:30,201
Roger, OTC.
273
00:12:30,242 --> 00:12:31,285
HOUSTON:
Pick up terminal sequence MPS.
274
00:12:31,327 --> 00:12:32,995
Copy that.
275
00:12:33,037 --> 00:12:35,665
OTC to CDR,
how do you read?
Loud and clear.
276
00:12:35,707 --> 00:12:37,082
Charge capacitor
energy storage banks
277
00:12:37,124 --> 00:12:38,877
are all at 241.
278
00:12:38,918 --> 00:12:40,670
OTC to CDR,
how do you read?
279
00:12:40,712 --> 00:12:41,754
Loud and clear.
280
00:12:43,047 --> 00:12:45,842
CDR Houston,
how do you read?
281
00:12:45,884 --> 00:12:47,009
Loud and clear.
282
00:12:47,051 --> 00:12:48,427

00:12:48,469 --> 00:12:49,428
and white room configuration
complete.
284
00:12:49,470 --> 00:12:52,807
Retracting orbiter arm.
285
00:12:52,849 --> 00:12:55,017
All systems go for APU start.
286
00:12:55,059 --> 00:12:56,602
Go with APU start.
287
00:12:56,644 --> 00:12:59,647
BBSR power down
and ready for launch.
288
00:12:59,689 --> 00:13:01,232
Transfer to internal power.
289
00:13:01,273 --> 00:13:03,735
CONTROLLER 2: Transfer

290
00:13:03,776 --> 00:13:05,319
CONTROLLER: Gimbaling of

Okay. Copy.
294
00:13:12,451 --> 00:13:15,079
CONTROLLER:

00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,081
External tank is
at flight pressure.
296
00:13:17,122 --> 00:13:18,875
Okay, CDR, lock your visors
297
00:13:18,917 --> 00:13:20,459
and initiate your O2 flow.
298
00:13:20,501 --> 00:13:21,544
Y'all have a good one.
299
00:13:21,586 --> 00:13:23,045
CDR:
Roger that.
300
00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:27,299

We have liftoff
of the shuttle orbiter.
309
00:13:56,287 --> 00:13:58,497
(controllers cheering)
310
00:13:58,539 --> 00:14:00,625
(whistling, applause)
311
00:14:01,375 --> 00:14:03,085
CDR:
CDR Houston,
312
00:14:03,127 --> 00:14:05,755
bet y'all have never seen
a more beautiful sight.
313
00:14:05,797 --> 00:14:08,340
Roger that. 10-4.
314
00:14:08,382 --> 00:14:11,093
Roger, Max Q.
Lower throttle back.
315
00:14:11,135 --> 00:14:13,638
Main engine at 65%.
316
00:14:15,222 --> 00:14:17,308
Go at throttle up.
317
00:14:17,349 --> 00:14:20,478
Roger.
Throttle at 110%.
318
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:23,105
Over SRB separation.
319
00:14:23,147 --> 00:14:25,817
Roger, OTC.
320
00:14:25,858 --> 00:14:28,486
I have to admit that fulfilled
one of my boyhood fantasies.
321
00:14:28,527 --> 00:14:31,113
Yeah, it ranks right up there
with getting a pony
322
00:14:31,155 --> 00:14:33,032
and learning how to braid
my own hair.
323
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:35,534
Come on, Scully, you have to
admit that was exciting--
324
00:14:35,576 --> 00:14:37,286
Mission Control,
countdown...
325
00:14:37,328 --> 00:14:38,287
Mulder!
326
00:14:38,329 --> 00:14:41,707
Wait!
327
00:14:41,749 --> 00:14:43,292
Something's gone wrong.
What happened?
328
00:14:43,334 --> 00:14:45,044
Something's wrong
with the shuttle.
329
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:46,420
We had some trouble
with the solid rocket boosters,
330
00:14:46,462 --> 00:14:48,130
but we were able to fix it.
331
00:14:48,172 --> 00:14:51,509
We changed watch, I went home
to try to get some sleep.
332
00:14:51,550 --> 00:14:53,135
I got a phone call
20 minutes ago.
333
00:14:53,177 --> 00:14:54,595
Communication with the shuttle
had gone down.
334
00:14:54,637 --> 00:14:56,973
Come on, we've got
to get back to Houston.
335
00:15:04,188 --> 00:15:07,149
(static crackling)
336
00:15:07,191 --> 00:15:09,777
They have a press blackout
in effect-- chances are
337
00:15:09,819 --> 00:15:10,945
the media doesn't
know about it.
338
00:15:10,987 --> 00:15:12,613
You think this is sabotage?
339
00:15:12,655 --> 00:15:13,990
I don't know.
340
00:15:14,032 --> 00:15:15,574
Things go wrong all the time.
341
00:15:15,616 --> 00:15:17,242
Yeah, but they usually
fix them, right?
342
00:15:17,284 --> 00:15:18,953
Usually.
343
00:15:18,995 --> 00:15:20,120
She's turning.
344
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:42,060
(eerie screeching)
345
00:15:43,268 --> 00:15:45,145
(car horn blaring)
346
00:15:54,947 --> 00:15:56,281
Michelle!
347
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:57,366
I can see her.
348
00:15:57,408 --> 00:15:58,283
Michelle!
349
00:15:58,325 --> 00:16:00,202
Help!
You all right?
350
00:16:01,412 --> 00:16:03,414
I'm stuck!
351
00:16:03,455 --> 00:16:05,124
Can you move?
352
00:16:05,165 --> 00:16:07,292
Just get me out of here!
353
00:16:07,334 --> 00:16:09,420
I'm wedged in.
354
00:16:09,461 --> 00:16:10,504
You all right?
355
00:16:10,546 --> 00:16:12,590
I'm wedged in.
356
00:16:12,631 --> 00:16:13,925
Come here.
357
00:16:13,966 --> 00:16:15,927
Can you push with your legs?
358
00:16:15,968 --> 00:16:17,219
Be careful.
359
00:16:17,261 --> 00:16:18,220
Just get me out of here!
I can't...
360
00:16:18,262 --> 00:16:19,221
Okay, all right.
361
00:16:19,263 --> 00:16:21,473
Come on... okay...
362
00:16:21,515 --> 00:16:23,017
Come on.
363
00:16:23,059 --> 00:16:24,226
Okay.
364
00:16:27,271 --> 00:16:29,231
(grunting)
365
00:16:29,273 --> 00:16:30,942
SCULLY:
It's okay.
366
00:16:30,983 --> 00:16:31,901
Okay...
(panting)
367
00:16:31,943 --> 00:16:32,944
Let's do it.
368
00:16:32,985 --> 00:16:34,236
(Scully speaks quietly)
369
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,865
Now, don't try to move.
370
00:16:37,907 --> 00:16:41,619
Oh, I got to get back
to Houston.
371
00:16:44,455 --> 00:16:46,540
What happened?
I don't know.
372
00:16:46,582 --> 00:16:49,543
Something came at me
in the fog
373
00:16:49,585 --> 00:16:53,422
and next thing I knew,
I was upside down.
374
00:16:53,464 --> 00:16:55,716
Was it some kind of an animal?
375
00:16:55,758 --> 00:16:57,551
No, it... it had a face.
376
00:16:57,593 --> 00:16:59,261
It was...
377
00:16:59,303 --> 00:17:01,847
it was grotesque.
378
00:17:01,889 --> 00:17:04,475
I don't know what it was.
379
00:17:09,313 --> 00:17:10,272
You okay?
380
00:17:10,314 --> 00:17:11,983
Yeah.
381
00:17:14,318 --> 00:17:15,694
CONTROLLER:
That's right, sir.
382
00:17:15,736 --> 00:17:17,279
The charge capacitor energy
storage unit...
383
00:17:17,321 --> 00:17:20,116
Orbiter, this is Houston.
Do you copy?
384
00:17:20,158 --> 00:17:21,909
Your transmission
is breaking up, Houston.
385
00:17:26,122 --> 00:17:27,331
GENEROO:
What's happening?
386
00:17:27,372 --> 00:17:30,292
We have a malf in the OMS
and RCF systems.
387
00:17:30,334 --> 00:17:32,878
They can't get the orbiter
into attitude rotation.
388
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,546
Temperature in the cabin
is approaching
389
00:17:34,588 --> 00:17:36,340
103 degrees, and they have
downlink transmission problems.
390
00:17:36,381 --> 00:17:37,299
What happened to you?
391
00:17:37,341 --> 00:17:38,509
I had an accident.
392
00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:39,885
What's their position?
393
00:17:39,927 --> 00:17:42,304
Just over eastern Africa.
394
00:17:42,346 --> 00:17:44,974
Try patching them into
the Seychelles tracking station.
395
00:17:45,016 --> 00:17:45,432
All right.
396
00:17:49,353 --> 00:17:52,148
Hang in there, OTC.
397
00:17:52,190 --> 00:17:54,525
The orbiter maneuvering system
is malfunctioning.
398
00:17:54,566 --> 00:17:56,027
Without it, they can't
rotate the shuttle.
399
00:17:56,068 --> 00:17:57,569
They need to rotate it
away from the sun,
400
00:17:57,611 --> 00:17:59,363
to keep the orbiter cool.
401
00:17:59,404 --> 00:18:01,157
We've got a drop
in cabin pressure--
402
00:18:01,199 --> 00:18:02,616
21 kilopascals and declining.
403
00:18:04,284 --> 00:18:05,327
They're going to burn up.
404
00:18:05,369 --> 00:18:07,496
Where's Colonel Belt?
He's on his way.
405
00:18:07,538 --> 00:18:09,373
Damn it! What happened
when they went to backup?
406
00:18:09,414 --> 00:18:10,916
Backup system failed
to respond.
407
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:12,501
I don't know--
what about telemetry?
408
00:18:12,543 --> 00:18:14,336
Can we auto-activate
their systems from down here?
409
00:18:14,378 --> 00:18:15,379
We cannot auto-activate.
410
00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:16,380
It's like someone's
411
00:18:16,421 --> 00:18:17,548
interfering with
the telemetry,
412
00:18:17,589 --> 00:18:18,757
screwing with the uplink
413
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,342
communications from this end.
414
00:18:20,384 --> 00:18:21,301
Can you trace it?
415
00:18:22,845 --> 00:18:24,429
It'd have to be
a digital processor.
416
00:18:24,471 --> 00:18:26,140
They'd have to be
in the data banks.
417
00:18:26,182 --> 00:18:28,684
Where's that?
Come on.
418
00:18:53,792 --> 00:18:55,836
♪ ♪
419
00:19:09,683 --> 00:19:12,394
(power whirring down)
420
00:19:12,436 --> 00:19:13,604
SCULLY:
Mulder?
421
00:19:17,441 --> 00:19:19,401
MULDER:
I'm a Federal agent.
422
00:19:19,443 --> 00:19:21,361
Come on out of there.
423
00:19:23,155 --> 00:19:24,406
What are you
doing in here?
424
00:19:24,448 --> 00:19:25,657
I work here.
425
00:19:25,699 --> 00:19:27,326
Let me see your clearance.
426
00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:29,411
A sensor went off--
there was a malfunction
427
00:19:29,453 --> 00:19:30,412
in one of
the telemetry processors.
428
00:19:30,454 --> 00:19:31,413
Did you find it?
429
00:19:31,455 --> 00:19:32,414
No.
430
00:19:32,456 --> 00:19:34,125
Did you see anybody else
in here?
431
00:19:35,126 --> 00:19:37,419
Okay. Call security.
432
00:19:37,461 --> 00:19:39,130
I want a search
of the premises.
433
00:19:39,171 --> 00:19:41,132
I don't want anybody coming
in or out of this building
434
00:19:41,173 --> 00:19:42,591
who doesn't have
proper clearance.
435
00:19:42,633 --> 00:19:44,343
(static crackling):
I'm breaking up, OTC.
436
00:19:44,384 --> 00:19:46,720
What's the attitude
of the orbiter?
437
00:19:46,762 --> 00:19:47,846
They're flying
tail first, sir
438
00:19:47,888 --> 00:19:49,307
with their belly
towards the sun.
439
00:19:49,348 --> 00:19:51,100
The flash evaporator system
is working
440
00:19:51,142 --> 00:19:53,477
but it's not enough
to cool them down.
441
00:19:53,518 --> 00:19:55,020
Cabin temperature
climbing to 116.
442
00:19:55,062 --> 00:19:56,314
(sighing):
Where's...?
443
00:19:56,355 --> 00:19:57,522
GENEROO: Somebody's jamming
our transmissions.
444
00:19:57,564 --> 00:19:58,941
What do you mean?
445
00:19:58,983 --> 00:20:00,442
Somebody or something
446
00:20:00,484 --> 00:20:01,860
is interfering with
our ground communications
447
00:20:01,902 --> 00:20:04,029
and scrambling
our uplink telemetry.
448
00:20:04,071 --> 00:20:05,864
The shuttle
is not responding
449
00:20:05,906 --> 00:20:08,075
to override signals.
450
00:20:08,117 --> 00:20:10,452
I'm going to let them
fly by wire.
451
00:20:10,494 --> 00:20:11,453
I'm cutting off
telemetry.
452
00:20:11,495 --> 00:20:12,454
It might not work.
453
00:20:12,496 --> 00:20:13,622
We might lose contact for good.
454
00:20:13,664 --> 00:20:15,457
We have to give it a chance
to work.
455
00:20:15,499 --> 00:20:16,750
We have to try
to bring them down.
456
00:20:16,792 --> 00:20:18,543
We have to give them
control of the ship,
457
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:19,837
take a chance they'll be able
458
00:20:19,878 --> 00:20:20,963
to perform
that rotation maneuver
459
00:20:21,005 --> 00:20:22,047
and deliver the payload.
460
00:20:22,089 --> 00:20:23,715
What if they can't?
461
00:20:23,757 --> 00:20:25,009
We could be stranding them
up there.
462
00:20:33,309 --> 00:20:34,476
Abandon telemetry.
463
00:20:34,518 --> 00:20:36,436
Go to fly by wire mode.
464
00:20:38,356 --> 00:20:40,274
They're cutting off ground
control to the orbiter.
465
00:20:40,316 --> 00:20:42,693
The astronauts will be
flying the shuttle
all by themselves.
466
00:20:42,734 --> 00:20:45,237
Is it going to work?
467
00:20:48,532 --> 00:20:50,492
OTC, this is Houston.
468
00:20:50,534 --> 00:20:52,744
How's the weather up there?
469
00:20:52,786 --> 00:20:54,788
Sunny and warm, Houston.
470
00:20:54,830 --> 00:20:56,415
What's the forecast?
471
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:58,959
OTC, we're going
to fly by wire mode.
472
00:20:59,001 --> 00:21:01,586
We're going to abort ground
control momentarily,
473
00:21:01,628 --> 00:21:03,588
to see if you can bring
those systems back up.
474
00:21:05,049 --> 00:21:06,591
Roger that, Houston.
475
00:21:06,633 --> 00:21:08,802
And leave the driving to us.
476
00:21:08,844 --> 00:21:11,513
David...
477
00:21:11,555 --> 00:21:13,515
you take care.
478
00:21:19,563 --> 00:21:21,190
What just happened?
479
00:21:21,232 --> 00:21:24,193
They cut off contact
with the shuttle.
480
00:21:24,235 --> 00:21:28,155
(indistinct background
communication)
481
00:21:28,197 --> 00:21:30,991
WOMAN: Negative. We pulled off
the MPG; we are manual...
482
00:21:31,033 --> 00:21:32,826
(various overlapping
commands among controllers)
483
00:21:39,958 --> 00:21:42,502
GENEROO:
45 seconds.
484
00:21:45,881 --> 00:21:47,466
If they were able
to execute,
485
00:21:47,507 --> 00:21:48,426
they'd have done it
by now.
486
00:21:48,467 --> 00:21:51,220
Standing by.
487
00:21:54,432 --> 00:21:56,600
60 seconds.
488
00:21:59,019 --> 00:22:02,856
Go to reestablish
uplink communication.
489
00:22:10,864 --> 00:22:12,574
Video signal's failed now.
490
00:22:12,616 --> 00:22:14,159
OTC, this is Houston.
491
00:22:14,201 --> 00:22:15,494
Do you copy?
492
00:22:22,042 --> 00:22:22,960
OTC, this is Houston.
493
00:22:23,001 --> 00:22:24,711
Where are you?
494
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:28,466
Howdy-do, Houston.
495
00:22:28,507 --> 00:22:31,385
Looks like we finally
got this bird to fly right.
496
00:22:31,427 --> 00:22:34,679
(controllers cheering)
497
00:22:37,516 --> 00:22:39,893
OTC, do you hear that?
498
00:22:39,935 --> 00:22:41,645
Music to our ears.
499
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:45,607
Cabin temperature
500
00:22:45,649 --> 00:22:46,817
stabilizing.
501
00:22:46,858 --> 00:22:50,070
OTC, this is Mark Belt
in Houston.
502
00:22:50,112 --> 00:22:52,490
How's the crew holding up?
503
00:22:52,531 --> 00:22:54,699
They're looking good, sir.
504
00:22:54,741 --> 00:22:56,868
And you all get some rest.
505
00:22:56,910 --> 00:22:59,037
We'll get back to work
506
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:00,622
at about 0700.
507
00:23:00,664 --> 00:23:01,623
Roger that, Houston.
508
00:23:01,665 --> 00:23:02,707
Let's get to work
509
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:05,210
on that telemetry problem.
510
00:23:05,252 --> 00:23:07,587
We got a big day ahead of us.
511
00:23:24,771 --> 00:23:27,691
BELT: Let's just let
the electronic press
512
00:23:27,732 --> 00:23:29,651
get their sound equipment set.
513
00:23:29,693 --> 00:23:32,112
Are we set up in here?
514
00:23:32,154 --> 00:23:34,031
Do you want to test this mike?
515
00:23:34,072 --> 00:23:35,657
(reporters shouting questions)
516
00:23:35,699 --> 00:23:37,659
I know you have
a lot of questions,
517
00:23:37,701 --> 00:23:39,244
and I'll get to them.
518
00:23:39,286 --> 00:23:42,664
How did he know what he did
was going to work?
519
00:23:42,706 --> 00:23:44,124
He didn't.
They could've died up there,
520
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,959
and there would've
been nothing
521
00:23:46,001 --> 00:23:47,586
we could've done.
522
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:49,880
They'd have been a ghost ship,
stuck in orbit.
523
00:23:49,921 --> 00:23:52,049
They on schedule?
(reporters shouting)
524
00:23:52,090 --> 00:23:54,593
Why would he take
that risk?
525
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:56,887
Bring those men back
without delivering
that payload?
526
00:23:58,347 --> 00:24:01,141
You're talking millions
of wasted dollars.
527
00:24:01,183 --> 00:24:04,686
That's all Congress would need
to shut down NASA.
528
00:24:04,728 --> 00:24:06,688
BELT:
As of 2200 hours,
529
00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:10,775
the crew has been conducting
onboard tests and tasks
530
00:24:10,817 --> 00:24:14,696
and resting up for their first
full day in space tomorrow.
531
00:24:14,738 --> 00:24:17,074
I'm happy to say,
532
00:24:17,115 --> 00:24:19,076
after a beautiful night launch,
533
00:24:19,117 --> 00:24:20,369
the shuttle orbiter
534
00:24:20,411 --> 00:24:23,705
has performed magnificently.
535
00:24:23,747 --> 00:24:26,584
(reporters shouting questions)
536
00:24:31,796 --> 00:24:35,551
So much for your boyhood hero.
537
00:24:43,683 --> 00:24:45,727
Colonel Belt?
Colonel Belt?
538
00:24:45,769 --> 00:24:49,440
Can I talk to you
for a moment?
539
00:24:49,481 --> 00:24:52,734
You want to know
why I lied to them.
540
00:24:52,776 --> 00:24:55,237
You're asking yourself
if this means I'd lie to you.
541
00:25:00,158 --> 00:25:03,662
You know what it means
to be an astronaut, sir?
542
00:25:03,703 --> 00:25:05,163
You risk your life
543
00:25:05,205 --> 00:25:07,165
every time you get into
your spacecraft
544
00:25:07,207 --> 00:25:08,750
for nothing more
545
00:25:08,792 --> 00:25:10,669
than the good progress
of mankind.
546
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:12,003
You've got no argument
from me, sir.
547
00:25:12,045 --> 00:25:13,631
You're true American heroes.
548
00:25:13,672 --> 00:25:15,257
Heroes...?
549
00:25:15,299 --> 00:25:17,759
We used to make headlines
when we did our job right.
550
00:25:17,801 --> 00:25:21,346
Now they bury you
in the back of the paper.
551
00:25:21,388 --> 00:25:23,807
Name me two astronauts
on the last shuttle mission.
552
00:25:23,848 --> 00:25:26,768
You make the front
page today
553
00:25:26,810 --> 00:25:28,687
only if you screw up.
554
00:25:28,728 --> 00:25:30,606
They only know
your name
555
00:25:30,648 --> 00:25:33,984
if you're the unlucky S.O.B.
sitting on 500 tons of dynamite.
556
00:25:35,902 --> 00:25:38,697
That's what they're
really waiting for.
557
00:25:38,738 --> 00:25:40,616
Sir, I have to ask.
558
00:25:40,658 --> 00:25:42,951
I'm sorry,
it's my job.
559
00:25:42,993 --> 00:25:46,455
Do you think someone
is sabotaging the shuttle?
560
00:25:46,497 --> 00:25:48,790
My answer to you, sir,
561
00:25:48,832 --> 00:25:51,251
will be to bring those men back
safely to Earth.
562
00:26:24,868 --> 00:26:26,119
(sighs heavily)
563
00:27:03,907 --> 00:27:06,951
BELT:
OTC... I've got...
564
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:08,662
How's it going
out there?
565
00:27:08,704 --> 00:27:10,372
There's something out here.
566
00:27:10,414 --> 00:27:12,165
Can you repeat that,
Commander Belt?
567
00:27:12,207 --> 00:27:13,875
It's coming at me.
568
00:27:13,917 --> 00:27:14,876
Holy God!
569
00:27:16,211 --> 00:27:18,296
(groaning)
570
00:27:21,633 --> 00:27:22,926
(eerie moaning)
571
00:27:27,389 --> 00:27:29,433
(eerie moaning, gasping)
572
00:27:48,326 --> 00:27:50,328
(eerie whooshing)
573
00:28:00,964 --> 00:28:03,258
(whooshing)
574
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,982
Uh, Houston, we just heard
something weird up here.
575
00:28:20,484 --> 00:28:23,654
OTC Houston,
can you describe it?
576
00:28:23,695 --> 00:28:26,948
Sort of a dull thump,
like something bumped the ship.
577
00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:27,949
You got any ideas about that?
578
00:28:27,991 --> 00:28:29,660
(bang over radio)
579
00:28:29,701 --> 00:28:31,578
There it is again.
580
00:28:36,708 --> 00:28:37,668
...taking a look
at it now.
581
00:28:37,709 --> 00:28:38,960
Pull it out?
582
00:28:39,002 --> 00:28:40,337
Yeah.
...on this side
as well?
583
00:28:40,378 --> 00:28:41,379
That one
right there.
584
00:28:41,421 --> 00:28:43,965
Got in the, uh, matrix.
585
00:28:44,007 --> 00:28:47,427
They've got an oxygen leak
onboard the orbiter.
586
00:28:47,469 --> 00:28:51,807
Our O2 gauges
are going all screwy, Houston.
587
00:28:53,391 --> 00:28:54,810
We got problems.
588
00:28:54,852 --> 00:28:57,145
We've got an O2 leak
in the main tank.
589
00:28:57,187 --> 00:28:58,396
What did they say happened?
590
00:28:58,438 --> 00:28:59,773
They don't know.
591
00:28:59,815 --> 00:29:01,566
They just said
it was a thump.
592
00:29:01,608 --> 00:29:02,860
Stand by.
593
00:29:02,901 --> 00:29:04,486
Uh, we have an astronomer
in Winnipeg
594
00:29:04,528 --> 00:29:05,821
who just spotted
a gaseous cloud
595
00:29:05,863 --> 00:29:07,656
about a mile long,
trailing in our orbit.
596
00:29:07,698 --> 00:29:10,158
That's the liquid O2
leaking out into space.
597
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,202
The exact same thing
happened to Colonel Belt
598
00:29:12,243 --> 00:29:13,620
but on an Apollo mission.
599
00:29:13,662 --> 00:29:15,455
How much time
do they have?
600
00:29:15,497 --> 00:29:17,290
Well, that's hard to know
without accurate telemetry data,
601
00:29:17,332 --> 00:29:18,500
We're doing the calculations,
602
00:29:18,542 --> 00:29:19,918
but it'll just be
a guesstimate.
603
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:20,919
I need some answers.
604
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,920
And where is Colonel Belt?
605
00:29:21,961 --> 00:29:23,004
We can't find him.
606
00:29:23,046 --> 00:29:24,005
He was due here 90 minutes ago
607
00:29:24,047 --> 00:29:25,465
to begin payload deployment.
608
00:29:25,507 --> 00:29:26,800
Uh, Houston, we're up here
609
00:29:26,842 --> 00:29:28,009
kind of wondering
610
00:29:28,051 --> 00:29:30,470
when do we have
to start holding our breath?
611
00:29:30,512 --> 00:29:32,305
We're working on it, OTC.
612
00:29:32,347 --> 00:29:35,475
I need those calculations and
I need a worst-case scenario.
613
00:29:35,517 --> 00:29:36,810
We don't know if one or both
614
00:29:36,852 --> 00:29:38,019
of the O2 tanks
have been damaged.
615
00:29:38,061 --> 00:29:39,646
Worst-case scenario!
616
00:29:39,688 --> 00:29:41,189
And then I want someone
to find Colonel Belt.
617
00:29:41,231 --> 00:29:43,107
We'll find Colonel Belt.
618
00:29:43,149 --> 00:29:45,318
CONTROLLER: They've got
30 minutes of backup oxygen.
619
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Beyond that,
it's anybody's guess.
620
00:29:47,362 --> 00:29:49,614
Why does she need Belt?
621
00:29:49,656 --> 00:29:51,282
She doesn't know how
serious the leak is.
622
00:29:51,324 --> 00:29:53,034
It's an oxygen leak.
623
00:29:53,076 --> 00:29:54,035
Even I can
figure out what happens
624
00:29:54,077 --> 00:29:56,037
when you run out of oxygen.
625
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:57,915
Colonel Belt's been up there
in the same situation before.
626
00:29:57,956 --> 00:29:59,416
He'll know better than
anybody else what to do.
627
00:29:59,457 --> 00:30:00,500
He's got to make
the decisions.
628
00:30:00,542 --> 00:30:02,335
Where the hell is he?
629
00:30:11,094 --> 00:30:12,345
Colonel Belt?
630
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:18,476
Colonel Belt!
631
00:30:19,978 --> 00:30:22,021
I'm going to go
get Security.
632
00:30:23,732 --> 00:30:24,733
Colonel Belt.
633
00:30:27,819 --> 00:30:30,071
Are you all right?
634
00:30:30,113 --> 00:30:32,073
(sighing):
Yeah.
635
00:30:32,115 --> 00:30:33,909
I wasn't feeling well.
636
00:30:33,951 --> 00:30:36,077
They need you down
at Mission Control, sir.
637
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,580
There's been
another accident.
638
00:30:38,622 --> 00:30:40,498
GENEROO:
OTC,
639
00:30:40,540 --> 00:30:43,084
is your orbital maneuvering
system still operational?
640
00:30:43,126 --> 00:30:44,335
Roger, Houston.
641
00:30:44,377 --> 00:30:45,462
Now we're ready for reentry.
642
00:30:45,503 --> 00:30:47,505
Just say the word.
643
00:30:47,547 --> 00:30:48,924
How bad's the leak?
644
00:30:50,341 --> 00:30:52,636
We have no way
to determine.
645
00:30:54,304 --> 00:30:57,098
OTC...
646
00:30:57,140 --> 00:30:59,601
what's the condensation
on your cabin?
647
00:30:59,643 --> 00:31:01,728
Windows are getting
a little steamy.
648
00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:03,814
Carbon dioxide buildup.
649
00:31:03,855 --> 00:31:05,607
Okay, OTC.
650
00:31:05,649 --> 00:31:07,692
Everything's going to be fine.
651
00:31:07,734 --> 00:31:09,611
I want you
to get in your spacesuits
652
00:31:09,653 --> 00:31:12,990
and depressurize your cabin.
653
00:31:13,031 --> 00:31:16,117
And then I want you
to vent that CO2.
654
00:31:16,159 --> 00:31:18,119
Roger, Houston.
And then what?
655
00:31:18,161 --> 00:31:19,704
I want you to stay
in your suits.
656
00:31:19,746 --> 00:31:22,165
And then I want you
to prepare to use
657
00:31:22,206 --> 00:31:24,167
your emergency oxygen systems.
658
00:31:24,208 --> 00:31:26,085
And then
I want you...
659
00:31:27,211 --> 00:31:29,339
to...
660
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:31,382
deliver your payload.
661
00:31:33,677 --> 00:31:35,804
Those are men up there.
662
00:31:38,181 --> 00:31:39,599
You're out of line.
663
00:31:39,641 --> 00:31:41,726
You want to tell me
how to do my job?
664
00:31:41,768 --> 00:31:43,728
I've been up there
in that situation, Ms. Generoo.
665
00:31:43,770 --> 00:31:45,146
There's more
at risk here
666
00:31:45,188 --> 00:31:46,731
than your personal life.
667
00:31:46,773 --> 00:31:48,232
And if you can't
accept that...
668
00:31:48,274 --> 00:31:52,236
or operate effectively
in these circumstances,
669
00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:54,865
then maybe you better
leave the decisions
670
00:31:54,906 --> 00:31:56,115
to people in this room who can.
671
00:32:07,585 --> 00:32:09,754
(sighing):
OTC...
672
00:32:09,796 --> 00:32:12,173
do you copy?
673
00:32:12,215 --> 00:32:13,591
Roger, Houston.
674
00:32:13,633 --> 00:32:15,468
We're waiting
on those O2 calculations.
675
00:32:19,138 --> 00:32:21,182
(sniffling)
676
00:32:22,642 --> 00:32:24,394
SCULLY:
Michelle!
677
00:32:26,270 --> 00:32:27,605
(crying):
They're going to die.
678
00:32:27,647 --> 00:32:29,273
You don't know that.
679
00:32:29,315 --> 00:32:31,192
That's absolutely
unconscionable
680
00:32:31,234 --> 00:32:33,194
putting that payload
before those men's lives.
681
00:32:33,236 --> 00:32:34,696
I think she's right, Mulder.
682
00:32:34,738 --> 00:32:36,239
You saw him in there.
He's losing it.
683
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,199
MULDER: He saved
their lives earlier.
684
00:32:38,241 --> 00:32:41,494
Did he, or did he put their
lives in unnecessary jeopardy?
685
00:32:41,536 --> 00:32:43,580
If he can't deliver that payload
686
00:32:43,621 --> 00:32:45,206
Congress is gonna kill
the space program.
687
00:32:45,248 --> 00:32:46,624
Oh, and you think
killing those astronauts
688
00:32:46,666 --> 00:32:48,209
isn't going to have
the same effect?
689
00:32:48,251 --> 00:32:49,669
Look, Mulder,
I think somebody must have
690
00:32:49,711 --> 00:32:50,921
sabotaged the space shuttle
691
00:32:50,962 --> 00:32:52,213
because too many things
have gone wrong.
692
00:32:52,255 --> 00:32:53,798
I think Colonel Belt
knows about it
693
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,050
and he's known
about it from the beginning.
694
00:32:55,092 --> 00:32:57,427
We've got to stop him.
695
00:32:57,468 --> 00:32:58,887
We've got to pull them
out of orbit!
696
00:32:58,929 --> 00:33:00,097
He doesn't want
those men to die.
697
00:33:00,138 --> 00:33:01,222
How do you know?
698
00:33:01,264 --> 00:33:02,306
I know it.
I'm sure of it.
699
00:33:02,348 --> 00:33:04,225
He's the one that
put them up there.
700
00:33:04,267 --> 00:33:06,895
And he may be the only person
who can get them down alive.
701
00:33:06,937 --> 00:33:08,438
And how can you be certain
that what he's doing
702
00:33:08,479 --> 00:33:10,273
isn't the right thing?
703
00:33:10,314 --> 00:33:12,233
That what he's doing isn't
gonna save their lives?
704
00:33:12,275 --> 00:33:13,276
Now, I need access
to your records
705
00:33:13,317 --> 00:33:14,945
in a hurry.
706
00:33:16,362 --> 00:33:18,239
MULDER: I need everything
on the Hubble telescope
707
00:33:18,281 --> 00:33:20,241
the Mars Observer,
the shuttle Challenger
708
00:33:20,283 --> 00:33:22,452
and the current orbiter mission.
709
00:33:22,493 --> 00:33:24,662
You're talking about
tens of thousands of documents.
710
00:33:24,704 --> 00:33:25,830
What exactly
are we looking for?
711
00:33:25,872 --> 00:33:28,291
X rays, diagrams,
schematics--
712
00:33:28,332 --> 00:33:30,877
any proof that Belt
knew about a sabotage.
713
00:33:30,919 --> 00:33:32,670
SCULLY:
A needle in a haystack.
714
00:33:52,983 --> 00:33:54,901
Payload deployment initiated.
715
00:33:56,111 --> 00:33:58,279
HOUSTON:
Roger that, OTC.
716
00:33:58,321 --> 00:33:59,322
Tracking it now.
717
00:34:01,407 --> 00:34:03,242
SHUTTLE:
Looks good from here.
718
00:34:08,581 --> 00:34:11,375
Payload delivery is complete,
Houston.
719
00:34:11,417 --> 00:34:13,711
We're awaiting your order.
720
00:34:13,753 --> 00:34:17,674
System check
for reentry deorbit burn.
721
00:34:17,715 --> 00:34:21,302
Holy God! There's something
outside the ship!
722
00:34:21,344 --> 00:34:23,721
Th... There's someone
outside the ship!
723
00:34:23,763 --> 00:34:26,016
BELT:
Can you repeat that, OTC?
724
00:34:26,057 --> 00:34:30,979
There's some kind of... ghost
outside the ship!
725
00:34:31,021 --> 00:34:32,814
No.
726
00:34:32,856 --> 00:34:34,315
No, no, no.
727
00:34:34,357 --> 00:34:35,566
No, no.
728
00:34:35,608 --> 00:34:37,568
No. No! No!
729
00:34:37,610 --> 00:34:39,320
No, no!
730
00:34:39,362 --> 00:34:41,280
No!
731
00:34:46,369 --> 00:34:47,495
Mulder,
732
00:34:47,537 --> 00:34:49,039
I found it.
733
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,291
This is the same diagram
that was sent to Michelle.
734
00:34:55,378 --> 00:34:56,838
Ordered by Colonel Belt.
735
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,716
Which means he knew
about the faulty valve.
736
00:34:59,757 --> 00:35:01,425
This is from the Challenger.
737
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:02,719
It's the O-ring fitting
that failed.
738
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,138
Dated January 21, 1986.
739
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:07,348
That's one week before
the space shuttle blew up.
740
00:35:07,390 --> 00:35:10,351
The analysis was ordered
by colonel belt.
741
00:35:10,393 --> 00:35:11,769
Are you saying
he might have known
742
00:35:11,811 --> 00:35:13,563
about the Challenger defect?
743
00:35:13,604 --> 00:35:15,314
Something weird
is going on here, Scully.
744
00:35:16,858 --> 00:35:18,151
Colonel Belt's collapsed.
745
00:35:18,193 --> 00:35:19,485
Where is he?
He's in his office.
746
00:35:23,322 --> 00:35:25,200
He was just here.
747
00:35:25,242 --> 00:35:27,326
(whimpering)
748
00:35:29,662 --> 00:35:31,998
SCULLY:
Oh, my God.
749
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,375
GENEROO:
What's wrong with him?
750
00:35:34,417 --> 00:35:36,377
(whimpering)
751
00:35:36,419 --> 00:35:38,088
MULDER:
Get a doctor.
752
00:35:38,129 --> 00:35:39,630
(sobbing, whimpering)
753
00:35:47,305 --> 00:35:48,431
Help me...
754
00:35:48,472 --> 00:35:49,849
Help me.
755
00:35:49,891 --> 00:35:51,893
MULDER: How can we help you,
Colonel?
756
00:35:51,935 --> 00:35:53,311
He's having some kind
of a seizure, Mulder.
757
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:55,021
GENEROO: Come on!
Come on, come on!
758
00:35:55,063 --> 00:35:59,567
BELT: Oh, it's tearing...
it's tearing me apart!
759
00:35:59,609 --> 00:36:01,485
EMT: (speaking quietly)
See if I can get a bus.
760
00:36:03,321 --> 00:36:04,864
(moaning)
761
00:36:04,906 --> 00:36:06,407
help me. Oh, help me.
762
00:36:06,449 --> 00:36:07,909
I'm bringing
763
00:36:07,951 --> 00:36:09,660
that shuttle down.
764
00:36:09,702 --> 00:36:11,871
Sir, we need to...
No!
765
00:36:11,913 --> 00:36:13,790
It's out there!
766
00:36:13,831 --> 00:36:14,415
EMT: Come on,
let's put him down.
767
00:36:15,666 --> 00:36:19,837
BELT: Spacesuits!
Easy. Easy.
768
00:36:19,879 --> 00:36:21,422
Strap him down!
There you go.
769
00:36:21,464 --> 00:36:23,424
Give him ten milligrams
of diazepam.
770
00:36:23,466 --> 00:36:25,343
No.
He's going
to hurt himself, Mulder.
771
00:36:25,384 --> 00:36:26,469
He's trying
to tell us something.
772
00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:27,595
I got his legs.
Colonel Belt.
773
00:36:27,637 --> 00:36:29,013
I got... I got... I got...
774
00:36:29,055 --> 00:36:31,099
Those men
are running out of oxygen.
775
00:36:31,141 --> 00:36:33,517
They don't have to die.
776
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,436
Colonel Belt,
I want you to focus.
777
00:36:35,478 --> 00:36:37,605
Focus your breathing.
778
00:36:37,647 --> 00:36:39,440
Focus your pain.
779
00:36:39,482 --> 00:36:40,566
Right here.
780
00:36:42,319 --> 00:36:45,238
Blood pressure's 174 over 120.
781
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,447
Spacesuit! Spacesuit!
Vitals are rising.
782
00:36:46,489 --> 00:36:47,698
Mulder, you're risking
an aneurysm.
783
00:36:47,740 --> 00:36:50,118
Focus.
784
00:36:52,578 --> 00:36:54,455
Now you're focused.
785
00:36:54,497 --> 00:36:55,873
Right here.
786
00:36:55,915 --> 00:36:58,501
Now, you're going
to save those astronauts
787
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:00,795
and you're going to tell me
how to do it.
788
00:37:02,546 --> 00:37:07,468
The shuttle
can't survive reentry.
789
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:10,388
No. He's lying.
How do you know
it can't survive?
790
00:37:10,429 --> 00:37:13,391
The fuselage...
the fuselage is damaged.
791
00:37:13,474 --> 00:37:16,727
The s... silicone tiles
are destroyed.
792
00:37:16,769 --> 00:37:17,854
How does he know?
793
00:37:17,895 --> 00:37:19,480
How has it been damaged?
794
00:37:19,522 --> 00:37:21,399
I'm responsible.
795
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,109
Did you sabotage the shuttle?
796
00:37:23,151 --> 00:37:27,488
No, but I couldn't stop them.
797
00:37:27,530 --> 00:37:30,783
Nobody can stop them.
Stop who?
798
00:37:30,825 --> 00:37:33,119
Pulse is 194.
You're gonna kill him, Mulder.
799
00:37:33,161 --> 00:37:35,496
Stop who?
They don't want us to know.
800
00:37:35,538 --> 00:37:37,748
They don't want us to know.
801
00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:38,499
Who?
802
00:37:38,541 --> 00:37:39,750
(groaning)
803
00:37:39,792 --> 00:37:41,127
It came to me.
804
00:37:41,169 --> 00:37:43,254
It lives in me.
805
00:37:45,548 --> 00:37:47,925
It's coming at me!
806
00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:50,011
It's coming at me!
807
00:37:50,053 --> 00:37:52,138
Get me out of here!
808
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:53,514
It's attacking me!
809
00:37:53,556 --> 00:37:54,515
Get me out!
810
00:37:54,557 --> 00:37:57,352
(eerie screeching)
811
00:37:58,269 --> 00:37:59,603
Get it out.
812
00:37:59,645 --> 00:38:01,522
Help me.
813
00:38:01,564 --> 00:38:03,482
It's coming back.
814
00:38:10,489 --> 00:38:12,491
(strangled breathing)
815
00:38:13,951 --> 00:38:17,621
GENEROO: That's the face
I saw in the fog.
816
00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:19,582
We're losing him.
Defib.
817
00:38:19,623 --> 00:38:21,084
Here you go.
818
00:38:24,462 --> 00:38:27,048
Clear.
819
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:29,550
Hit it.
820
00:38:29,592 --> 00:38:30,968
They just ran out of oxygen.
821
00:38:31,010 --> 00:38:32,553
They've got exactly
822
00:38:32,595 --> 00:38:35,181
30 minutes left in the
emergency backup system.
823
00:38:35,223 --> 00:38:36,599
They're going to suffocate
up there.
824
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,226
I've got no choice
but to bring them down.
825
00:38:38,268 --> 00:38:39,894
It's the only chance I've got.
826
00:38:40,895 --> 00:38:42,521
Again.
827
00:38:45,608 --> 00:38:46,776
Okay, we got O2
standing by...
828
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:48,736
Hold on.
829
00:38:48,778 --> 00:38:50,738
We've got vitals.
We got a pulse.
830
00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:52,449
SCULLY: We've got to get him
to a hospital.
831
00:38:55,076 --> 00:38:56,786
OTC, this is Houston
Mission Control.
832
00:38:56,827 --> 00:38:57,828
Do you copy?
833
00:38:57,870 --> 00:38:59,580
Roger, Houston.
834
00:38:59,622 --> 00:39:02,459
We've got some spooky stuff
up here.
835
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,585
OTC, we're going
to bring you down.
836
00:39:04,627 --> 00:39:06,963
We want you to instigate
deorbit burn
837
00:39:07,004 --> 00:39:09,257
and begin deceleration.
838
00:39:09,299 --> 00:39:12,593
Roger, Houston. Kind of hoping
you were going to say that.
839
00:39:12,635 --> 00:39:14,595
Activating OMS rockets.
840
00:39:14,637 --> 00:39:17,014
All systems go for reentry.
841
00:39:17,056 --> 00:39:19,392
They're bringing
the shuttle down.
842
00:39:19,434 --> 00:39:21,102
You said the shuttle
would burn up on reentry.
843
00:39:21,144 --> 00:39:23,438
Is there anything
we can do to save it?
844
00:39:25,273 --> 00:39:27,608
Change the trajectory.
845
00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:29,193
Change the trajectory
to what?
846
00:39:29,235 --> 00:39:35,074
Change the reentry trajectory
to 35 degrees.
847
00:39:39,078 --> 00:39:42,623
CONTROLLER: T-minus 35 seconds
to ionosphere reentry.
848
00:39:42,665 --> 00:39:43,624
Change the reentry trajectory.
849
00:39:43,666 --> 00:39:45,042
GENEROO:
What?
850
00:39:45,084 --> 00:39:46,627
You've got to
change it to 35 degrees.
851
00:39:46,669 --> 00:39:48,838
CONTROLLER: T-minus 30 seconds
to ionosphere reentry.
852
00:39:48,879 --> 00:39:50,631
Colonel Belt...
I can't.
853
00:39:50,673 --> 00:39:51,715
...25 seconds.
854
00:39:51,757 --> 00:39:53,134
It's your only shot.
855
00:39:53,176 --> 00:39:54,635
We'd have
to change landing site;
856
00:39:54,677 --> 00:39:56,262
we'd have to
inform them before the blackout.
857
00:39:56,304 --> 00:39:57,805
15 seconds to blackout.
858
00:39:57,847 --> 00:39:59,516
I want to know what
859
00:39:59,557 --> 00:40:01,476
the weather conditions are
in Albuquerque.
860
00:40:01,518 --> 00:40:02,560
Are we go
for an emergency landing?
861
00:40:02,601 --> 00:40:04,479
Weather in Albuquerque?
862
00:40:04,521 --> 00:40:05,938
Landing conditions go
in Albuquerque.
863
00:40:05,980 --> 00:40:08,483
T-minus five seconds
to blackout.
864
00:40:08,525 --> 00:40:09,859
OTC, this is Houston.
865
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:10,860
I want you to change
your re-entry trajectory
866
00:40:10,901 --> 00:40:12,736
to 35 degrees.
867
00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:14,071
You'll be landing at Kirtland
Field in Albuquerque.
868
00:40:14,113 --> 00:40:15,656
Do you copy?
869
00:40:15,698 --> 00:40:16,824
Ionosphere reentry.
Temporary blackout in effect.
870
00:40:16,866 --> 00:40:18,535
Did they get
that transmission?
871
00:40:18,576 --> 00:40:19,869
Two minutes
to reestablish.
872
00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:21,620
Damn it.
873
00:40:26,917 --> 00:40:30,588
How much oxygen do they have?
874
00:40:30,629 --> 00:40:31,506
16 minutes.
875
00:40:33,799 --> 00:40:35,301
OTC, this is Houston.
876
00:40:35,343 --> 00:40:36,635
Come in, OTC.
877
00:40:39,180 --> 00:40:40,515
OTC, this is Houston.
878
00:40:40,557 --> 00:40:42,600
Come in, OTC!
879
00:40:42,641 --> 00:40:44,519
Anything?
880
00:40:46,729 --> 00:40:48,606
What's the point of
their new reentry?
881
00:40:48,647 --> 00:40:50,316
500 miles
west of Hawaii.
882
00:40:50,358 --> 00:40:52,318
See if Hawaii can get me...
Hawaii's picked
the shuttle up
883
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,319
on radar.
884
00:40:53,361 --> 00:40:54,778
They made it.
885
00:40:54,820 --> 00:40:56,531
Not necessarily.
886
00:40:58,908 --> 00:41:01,785
Albuquerque, do you have
radar confirmation?
887
00:41:01,827 --> 00:41:04,663
Negative, Houston.
Nothing on the screen.
888
00:41:12,963 --> 00:41:14,798
OTC, this is Houston.
889
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,800
Come in, OTC.
890
00:41:17,968 --> 00:41:19,345
OTC, this is Houston!
891
00:41:19,387 --> 00:41:21,722
Come in, OTC!
892
00:41:21,764 --> 00:41:23,516
Houston, this is OTC.
893
00:41:23,558 --> 00:41:27,562
You know a good place to eat
in Albuquerque?
894
00:41:27,604 --> 00:41:29,606
(cheering, whooping)
We all want to meet for dinner.
895
00:41:33,817 --> 00:41:35,236
(whooping)
896
00:41:35,278 --> 00:41:36,779
CONTROLLER:
OTC, welcome home.
897
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:38,739
Welcome home, OTC.
898
00:41:38,781 --> 00:41:40,741
You're looking real good.
899
00:41:40,783 --> 00:41:42,076
MAN:
Yes!
900
00:41:53,796 --> 00:41:55,756
GENEROO: The space shuttle
touched down today
901
00:41:55,798 --> 00:41:59,009
at 10:56 Central Standard Time.
902
00:41:59,051 --> 00:42:01,178
The orbiter
delivered its payload
903
00:42:01,220 --> 00:42:03,347
after just 13 orbits
904
00:42:03,389 --> 00:42:07,143
and returned to Earth...
905
00:42:07,184 --> 00:42:09,061
without incident.
906
00:42:09,103 --> 00:42:12,649
We at NASA are looking forward
to our next shuttle mission
907
00:42:12,690 --> 00:42:15,401
and to future successful
explorations of space
908
00:42:15,443 --> 00:42:16,860
for mankind
909
00:42:16,902 --> 00:42:21,073
and for the future of mankind.
910
00:42:21,115 --> 00:42:23,742
(rapid beeping)
911
00:42:40,677 --> 00:42:43,554
(grunting)
912
00:42:44,514 --> 00:42:46,557
No... no...!
913
00:42:48,934 --> 00:42:50,645
No, no!
914
00:42:52,855 --> 00:42:54,524
No more!
915
00:42:54,565 --> 00:42:56,526
(yelling)
916
00:43:02,699 --> 00:43:03,824
(distorted yelling)
917
00:43:07,786 --> 00:43:09,913
(distant yelling)
918
00:43:16,879 --> 00:43:18,506
(door opens)
919
00:43:20,883 --> 00:43:23,469
I just heard.
920
00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:30,017
Something had possessed him--
921
00:43:30,059 --> 00:43:33,771
something he must have seen
out there in space.
922
00:43:33,812 --> 00:43:35,314
The doctors who examined him
923
00:43:35,356 --> 00:43:38,776
said he was experiencing
severe dementia.
924
00:43:38,817 --> 00:43:41,487
I don't think
he ever really knew
925
00:43:41,529 --> 00:43:44,865
exactly how it was
working through him
926
00:43:44,907 --> 00:43:50,871
or that he ever knew
that he was...
927
00:43:50,913 --> 00:43:53,874
responsible
for his own actions.
928
00:43:53,916 --> 00:43:57,461
He ordered those X rays
of the damaged parts.
929
00:43:57,503 --> 00:43:59,880
You saw what I saw, Scully.
930
00:43:59,922 --> 00:44:01,257
I think he was trying
to warn her.
931
00:44:01,298 --> 00:44:02,883
I think that he sent Michelle
those X rays
932
00:44:02,925 --> 00:44:06,303
like he was trying
to reach out to her
933
00:44:06,345 --> 00:44:09,807
without quite
knowing why,
934
00:44:09,848 --> 00:44:11,517
as if his own
instinctual impulse
935
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:14,144
was to save those men.
936
00:44:14,186 --> 00:44:16,897
While simultaneously
trying to kill them?
937
00:44:16,939 --> 00:44:20,484
Scully, we send those men
up into space
938
00:44:20,526 --> 00:44:22,779
to unlock the doors
of the universe
939
00:44:22,820 --> 00:44:24,280
and we don't even know
what's behind them.
940
00:44:24,321 --> 00:44:28,951
I think whatever it was,
he took it with him.
941
00:44:28,992 --> 00:44:30,745
And in the end,
that was the only way
942
00:44:30,787 --> 00:44:32,079
he knew how to stop it.
943
00:44:32,121 --> 00:44:34,998
There's an investigation,
you know.
944
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,918
They haven't ruled out
foul play.
945
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,879
He gave his own life.
946
00:44:42,965 --> 00:44:44,216
As an astronaut,
947
00:44:44,258 --> 00:44:47,845
that was something
he was prepared to do.
948
00:44:47,886 --> 00:44:50,514
...for Colonel
Marcus Aurelius Belt
949
00:44:50,556 --> 00:44:51,932
devoted his life
to the exploration
950
00:44:51,974 --> 00:44:53,934
and understanding of space--
951
00:44:53,976 --> 00:44:56,729
learning its mysteries
and experiencing it
952
00:44:56,771 --> 00:44:59,148
not just for himself,
but for humanity.
953
00:44:59,189 --> 00:45:03,402
Lord, take this man's soul
954
00:45:03,444 --> 00:45:04,945
and let it rise up
to your Heaven
955
00:45:04,987 --> 00:45:07,531
higher than he could ever go
as a man.
956
00:45:07,573 --> 00:45:10,242
Let him know
the true nature of the universe
957
00:45:10,284 --> 00:45:12,244
that he sought to learn.
958
