[ Radio Announcer,
Indistinct ]

...as the astronauts
make the final preparations
for their Friday launch...

to the orbiting
Antares spacecraft,

from there to Venus
and beyond.

Today, they had their
final medical examinations,

and then they posed for
their official portrait
in Mission Control.

The next few days for the crew
will be devoted...

- to saying good-bye to Earth
and their loved ones.
- Which one are you?

The mood here is buoyant
but it's clear--

I'm not on this one.
...by the length and difficulty
of this historic--

This so-called grand tour
of the solar system--
Which one?

Pop, I'm not
on the mission.

Okay? I didn't make this one.

[ Scoffs ]

I know that.
I know that.

Mars.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
My old man calls space travel
a fool's game.

He says human beings
are 60% water.

They eat, sleep, defecate,
can't follow directions...

and explode like piñatas when
exposed to the vacuum of space.

[ Crowd Cheering On TV ]

Lately--
[ Woman On Radio, Indistinct ]

I've been wondering
if he's right.
[ Continues, Indistinct ]

Calliope, do you read?

Sharon, you guys need
to move it. We gotta
get up out of this.

[ Mike ]
Calliope, this is Zeus.
This storm is on the rise.

You need to get off the planet.
Zeus, they're
a hundred meters out.

Let me go out
and I can lead them in.
Negative.

- You will not leave the lander.
- [ Computer ] Launch weather
parameters are at minimum.

- Thirty seconds. Come on, guys.
- Seventy meters. We can hold.

- Zeus, we're holding at 25.
- Launch weather parameters
are at minimum.

Calliope, I'm overriding
your launch controls.

- [ Sharon ] Donner?
- Launch weather parameters
are at minimum.

- Donner, did you
close that valve?
- Just give 'em two minutes.

You don't have two minutes.
You will die.
The mission will fail.

I want that lander off
the planet now.
[ Sharon ] Donner!

Sharon?
Donner, launch.

Launch weather parameters
are at minimum.
[ Maddux ] Sharon.

- Donner.
- [ Mike ]
Open the damn valve, Donner.

[ Computer Voice ]
Launch now. Launch now.
[ Heartbeat ]

Launch now.
God forgive me.

[ Beeping ]

[ Crowd ]
Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one!

[ Cheering ]
** [ Jukebox: Rock ]

Oh, my God, Paula,
you still look
a little dry there.

Don't you dare, Wass.
I'm sorry, Paula.
I'm sorry.

Methinks
she will forgive me.

Remember that feeling.

Oh, yeah.
Best day of my life.

Everything's
in front of you.
It all looks good.

Yeah. It all looked good.
Yes, it did.

How do you do this
all the time?

This one is particularly
disgusting.

You are such a geek,
you make me look cool.

Oh, I'm so looking forward
to this honeymoon.
Good.

Because we couldn't afford
Niagara Falls.
You are so cheap.

Congratulations, Commander.
Thank you, sir.

If you call me Mrs. Commander,
I'm gonna give you
a fat lip, sir.

Relax, Jen.
Tonight I'm just a towel boy.

Oh, and Rollie, listen.
I've scheduled one more media
interview for you...

tomorrow at 1430.
How long did
they meet today?

Goss and Rollie?
Yeah.

Three hours.

You're the alt commander.
Aren't you supposed to be
present for all briefings?

Well, I wasn't invited.
Huh.

Maybe you need to talk
to your wife about that.

Don't even go there.
That's what you get
for marrying the boss.

Welcome to
the agency's training facility.
This is Mission Control.

The flight of Antares
will be the most ambitious
mission in history.

As astronaut candidates,
you will be competing...

not only with yourselves,
but with many of your
instructors.

That's Shaw and Donner.
They were the two
on the Mars mission.

I don't think there's anyone
in this program who doesn't
want to be on that crew.

Your training will involve
everything from flight systems
to launch survival.

And make no mistake,
we are gonna challenge you--

physically, emotionally,
intellectually.

In the end, less than
one-third of you...

are gonna make it
to the final year.
[ Jen ] You know him?

And we're gonna be coming
with fastballs--
Who?

Donner.

- 'Cause it sure looks
like he knows you.
- No. He doesn't.

- Oh.
- This will not be a soft day
of orientation.

- Well, he's smiling at you.
Smile back.
- We call the first day--

Jen.
shock and awe.

Come on. Don't be
such a tight-ass.
No!

Excellent. Candidate Barnes
has volunteered to be in
the first centrifuge group.

[ Rumbling, Air Whistling ]

- [ Groaning ]
- [ Retches ]

[ Toilet Flushes ]
[ Applause, Cheering ]

Oh, no. What's this?
This is the bucket.
It's an award.

You're the first one
in your class to heave.

And everybody's gonna get one...
or two.

Five, you wash out.

You want to meet me
at Major Tom's?
I'll give you some tips.

You cannot be serious.

What? I'm being nice.
I'm being serious
and I'm being nice.

What's wrong with
being serious and nice?

- You have to lighten up, girl.
- What?

So light, I am floating.

He was making a pass at you.
He's not my type.

What? The smart, good-looking,
American hero type?

He left two people
on Mars.
Okay, fine.

The tragic American hero.
Even better.

Oh, you're not gay,
are you?
No.

I am a geologist
who wants to travel
to another planet...

without unnecessary
complications.

Right. A space nun.

- A what?
- A space nun, or...

she's gay.
No, she's not gay.

- You got firsthand knowledge?
- I don't do astronauts, Rollie.
You know that.

- Yeah, well, you might want
to reconsider.
- Oh.

[ Whistles ]
[ Chuckling ]

What?

[ Screams ]
Whoa!

- My place, now.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.
We have six years of screwing
to do in one night,

and I don't
wanna miss one minute.

Well, that's-- Aah.
Woman, damn, you bite hard.

Mm-hmm.

The door will be unlocked.
I'll be in the bedroom.

Did she mark you again?
Yeah.

Yeah, she did.
I think that's a German thing.

Deutsch mark.
So, uh--

So my mother's saying that
Mercury's in retrograde...

and that we shouldn't
launch... at all.

Well, listen to your mother
on that, definitely.
I try not to.

It's hard to stop.

Yeah.

I always thought
out of the two of us,
you'd be the one flying.

So did I.

Sorry.
It's no offense.
No. None taken.

Hey, you see
any cows on Venus--

You will be the first to know.

Zoe. Picture.

Have a good time.

[ Male Announcer ]
The flight of Antares--

six years, seven planets
and eight astronauts.

A grand tour
of the solar system.

The most ambitious exploration
in the history of mankind.

Today is the day
the journey begins.

But why a manned mission?
Why send men
prone to mistakes...

when probes and rovers
can do the job?

It's a six-year mission
to seven planets.
It's far too complex.

Would you call the last
manned mission to Mars
a success?

[ Mike ]
Three of us came back.
We'd all say yes.

Despite deserting two astronauts
on the planet's surface?

We knew what the risks were
10 years ago.

And these people know
what the risks are now.
Do they? It seems to me...

that aside from
your mission commander,
this is a very green crew.

I know where
this is going.
Let him handle it, Donner.

This crew was picked for
its skill and compatibility.

But clearly not
its experience.

- I'd say you're fishing,
Trevor.
- Then I'll be more specific.

I think we in the press were
all surprised when Donner
and Shaw weren't selected.

Did it surprise
you guys?
They're alternates.

But why? Does it have
something to do with what
happened on Mars?

- Man just said that it didn't.
- But that's not what I heard.

Well, you're hearing
what you want to hear.

The truth
would be nice for once.

The cockpit recorder
conveniently pixilated
before launch.

There's been no public record.
Why haven't the cockpit
transcripts been--

Yeah, it's pretty simple.
We had a storm.
We had to launch. So we did.

But did you have to launch,
or did you and Shaw panic...

and blow out of there
to save your own skin?

- It's a simple--
- [ Clamoring ]

[ Trevor ]
What's the matter with you?

- Whoa. Rumble!
- Get off! Get off.

What kind of
a stump-dumb
cowboy are you?

You jump British
television on launch day
during an interview?

Hey, he jumped me, Mike.
And you jumped back.

It's not your job to handle him.
It's not your job to talk
about Mars.

And it's definitely not your job
to question my judgment.

Your job is to back up Ajay
and make sure that that ship
is running properly.

Yeah, I know
what my job is.
Do you?

It's not gonna be your job
for much longer.

Because as soon as I can
bring someone else up to speed,

I'm having you discharged
from the program.

Now get out there
and say good-bye to the crew.

Your collection's
in the vidbank.
All 369 hours of it.

Dude.
But you gotta crack
the code first.

Sphincter.
[ Chuckles ]

Vodka on launch day?

You're at least a .12.
Then ground me, Claire.

Why are you letting me go?
Because there's nothing
to drink up there, Evram.

I'm saving your life.

Wassenfelder and I
thought you rocked.

Yeah, well,
I guess Goss didn't.

One more reason you got
the suit, I got the sweater.

Goss knows that
there's no way
I can do this without you.

You, me, that ship--

We're a three-way,
Donner.
Team.

Yes.
Trio. That's--
"Three-way" is different.

We are each essential.
Okay.

You cannot blame yourself
for not being chosen
for this mission.

Clearly, your path
is here on Earth.

[ Woman On P.A. ]
T-minus six hours
to launch.

Yeah, okay.

Okay. Go get 'em.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
I've always been
one of those people...

who believes that
you create your own destiny.

And through a few bad decisions,
I've certainly made mine.

But as much as I believe
in self-determination,

there are those
who simply do not.

It's that kind of thinking
that makes me nervous,

because being an astronaut
is all about control.

From the walk
to the launchpad
to the final touchdown,

you don't want surprises.

- Ten, nine, eight--
- It's not about fate.

- Is anyone aware that Mercury
is in retrograde?
- It's about planning.

- [ Ted ]
We have tower separation.
- [ Man ] Activation complete.

[ Ted ]
And ignition.

And liftoff.

First step on Antares's
voyage to the planets.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
In space, there's simply
no room for error.

[ Radio Chatter ]

How many of 'em do you
think would've gone
if we'd told them?

Well, that's a weak-minded
question, Eve.

The answer is all of them.

Every single one.

Thank you.
I'll be able
to sleep tonight.

[ Man On Radio ]
Godspeed, Orion 2.

Godspeed.

[ Ted On Radio ]
T-minus 120 to burn.

M.S.B. is go.

Hydrogen, go.

Deuterium sequences holding.
Donner, where are you
on the thrusters?

[ Maddux ]
I'm making progress.
Do not stop the sequence.

Ted, do you copy me?

Continue the sequence.

[ Ted ]
Stabilizers set to 1-4-0.

Positioning thrusters
are at 7-niner-7.
Oh, my God.

She's out.
Ted, I got Zoe out
and in the air lock.

She's-- She's in Air Lock 4.
Do you copy?

How the hell
did she get out?

[ Ted, Garbled ]
Maddux?

Zoe, please don't.

Somebody get down here.
Stop her.

- Ted, do you copy?
- [ Ted, Garbled ]

[ Beeps ]
[ Air Hisses ]

Zoe!

- [ Beeping ]
- What's the status?

Off-watch crew's
in their quarters. EECOM's
working on a small vent leak.

It's no biggie though.
We should go home.
Get some rest.

Yeah.

[ Muted Audio ]

- They're playing that
every hour.
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckling ]

We're not getting away
from it, are we?

Mars is just gonna haunt us
till the day we die.

The headline in our obits.

You're a Buddhist, right?
Raised as one.

Where do you guys
come down on fate?

Fate?
Yeah. Predestiny.

Feeling that the future
and what happens
is somehow out of your control.

I don't believe that.
And neither did Buddha.

It's garbage, right?
Through and through.

Right.

So this is
night one of day one.

And we are still
in near-Earth orbit.

Um--

They want us to talk
about anything.
About how we feel.

I am so proud to be the
engineer on this ship.

She is my path,
my responsibility.

This voyage with her,
my karma.

[ Inhales ]
I am filled with awe
and indescribable joy.

I know you guys
are monitoring this.

I mean, you tell us
it's private,

but seriously--

So,

I'm gonna pull my pants down
and show you crack.

[ Sighs ]
Yeah, I feel strange not
to be sleeping with Rollie.

But it's better
for crew morale, I guess.

I mean, you know, we were
celibate for three months during
crew orientation last year.

So we're okay with it.
I-- I guess.

[ Rollie ]
Hey, baby.
Hi, baby.

Turn the camera off.

And Mother,
if I ever let you see this,

it was a perfect launch,
a flawless docking...

and the ship
is in incredible shape.

So, so much
for your horoscope.

[ Baby Crying ]

[ Crying Continues ]

[ Crying Continues ]

[ Jen ]
You're pregnant?

Well, I'm--

I'm puking in the morning,
and I'm puking
at night, so--

You're the biologist.
Tell me.

This is a--
It's a urine sample.
I dribbled a little.

Sorry.
Oh, you're serious.

You know, they used to sell
tests in the drugstore?

Yeah. I'm not looking
for a history lesson,

and if I go to my gyno,
the program will know.

So you're not a space nun.

[ Sighs ]
I am now.

Who's the father?
Don't ask, won't tell.

And you did it
without protection?

He was drunk.
He swore he'd had a vasectomy.

Please don't make me feel
any more stupid.
If you're pregnant--

I mean, what the hell
are you gonna do?

Zoe?

Are you okay?
You were just standing there.

Did you just hear something?
Hear something--

- Like what?
- I don't know.

High-pitched. Like crying.

Um, no.

It's probably just
the rotator arm creaking.

Right. I'm sure
that's what it was.

Hola, estudiantes.
Bienvenidos a Antares.

Live from the flight deck
of Antares.

This is our first broadcast
from space,

and I'm going to
give you a little tour.

- Anybody mind
if I change the channel?
- At the moment,

we're on the flight deck,
which is where we control
the ship.

Mission Commander Rollie Crane
and pilot Nadia Schilling...

are programming
the injection burn...

that will send us
on our way to Venus.

En este momento,
estamos en la cabina del vuelo,
donde nosotros--

- Flight, this is Surgeon.
- This is Flight.

Got a couple of weird E.K.G.'s
from Rollie and Ajay.

They're similar,
so it's probably a glitch.

I'm gonna have Evram
adjust their med patches.

- Just advising.
- FIDO, what's the max time
we have left in orbit?

We need the Venus burn
in 30 hours and 16 minutes.
That's a pretty hard window.

You seriously didn't hear
anything strange last night?

Strange? No.
[ Sighs ]

Then it was the rotator arm.

Yeah, that's your story,
and you stick to it, okay?

Yeah.
I don't know.

I haven't been
sleeping much.
Weird dreams.

Some things are in zero gravity,
and some things are not.

Well, our grav suits
contain nanofibers...

that pull us towards
the deck electromagnetically.

But anything without
the nanotechnology--

like Jen's tomatoes--
will float.

Ah.

Neat, huh?
[ Laughs ]

Ajay, we need to check
your med patch.

- Is there a problem, Evram?
- Think it's just an adjustment.

- Sorry, Paula.
- Gracias por su ayuda.

Bueno, estudiantes--

Este es nuestro laboratorio
de biología--

What's up with that?

Rollie and Ajay have
a glitch in their med patch.

Trying to get a clean read.

That's not clearing
up anything, Ev.

- Now?
- Negative.

Could you relay that this is
a complete waste of time,
and I got work to do?

Why don't we try
a couple of new ones?

Ev, try a couple
of new patches.
Might be the contact points.

Copy that.

[ Paula ]
Ah. Our favorite place,
the observation deck--

where we look
at our amazing universe,

and watch movies and YouTube
from our data bank.

Any one of our vista panes
become screens.

Aha.

And this is our physicist,
Steven Wassenfelder.

Looks like he's
doing something
very complicated.

Can you tell us
what you're doing, Steven?

You probably
don't want to know.
Oh, come on.

Don't be so condescending.
Tell us.

Díganos.
Well, actually,

- I'm trying to crack
a 512-bit encryption code--
- Aha!

to get to the porn...

that my friend loaded
into the bank for me.

Arnel always finds
the dirtiest stuff.

[ Chuckling ]
What's the delay
to air?

Thirty seconds.
Then you got 20 to put
a lid on it. And Ted?

- Sir?
- Let's give our boy genius
a spanking.

Okay.

See that blip here
between the S1 wave and the S2?

It's a midsystolic
ejection murmur.

And both of them have it?

That's impossible.
Well, these are
the old patches.

- Let's see
what the new ones say.
- No, these are the new ones.

We're gonna have to do a heart
scan before I can clear either
one of them for flight.

[ Paula ] It's just not possible
for both of them to come
down with heart murmurs.

[ Zoe ]
It has to be
an equipment error.

[ Jen ] Yeah, it has to be,
right? And you said that
Mercury's in retrograde,

so maybe this
is a "Mercury
in retrograde" thing.

Please don't encourage
my mother.

In a strange way,
your mom's kinda right.

I mean, we're hopelessly
dependent on planet alignment.

We've got, like, what,
28 hours to leave Earth's orbit
or we're screwed.

And the next launch window
isn't for, like, six years.

- Well, then we have to use
Rollie and Ajay.
- Actually, no.

- I'm not following.
- Then you didn't read
the latest flight schedule.

There's a service pod headed
for the space station
tomorrow morning.

And Ajay and Rollie's alternates
could possibly be on it.

Hello, Ted.
Hello, Donner.

Don't you dare go there.

That's six years alone up here
with your old boyfriends.

This is calcified plaque.
Here, here and here.

It's on their aortic valves,
which is causing the stenosis.

Now, I don't know
how it got there or why
it wasn't there three days ago,

but I've checked
the results five times,
and it's real.

The odds of this--
of two men at the same time.

Off the chart.

[ Mike ] Okay, Claire.
Put a med team on it.
Check for everything--

diet, environment, viruses.

And run a detailed analysis
of every crew member's genome.

We gotta find out
what's causing this.

I can't clear these men
for space travel.

I think we got that.
You're excused.

I'll have Vandenberg
get the pod ready.

I want a few minutes.

You don't need
more time, Mike.

You know damn well
what's causing this.

And they're going.
This is our mission.

I am not gonna let that thing
dictate any more of the crew.

Wassenfelder's bad enough.

We don't have a choice.

Do you think for a moment
I want to send my husband?
Well, that makes two of us.

And Donner for
about a hundred reasons.

And who's to say
this thing isn't gonna
give them heart murmurs?

Well, there are
no guarantees, Mike. None.

We're in uncharted
territory here.

But this seems to be
what it wants.

Whether you want to face it
or not,

it has a lot more to say
in this mission than we do.

[ Chattering ]

Remember last night
I asked you about fate?

- Told you I don't believe
in fate. I'm a Buddhist.
- I didn't tell you something.

I'm having a dream
about this mission.
And?

You and I are both on it.

You're both gonna need immediate
physicals. You'll have tonight
to get your things in order,

then launch in the service pod
tomorrow morning.

- Report to Medical now?
- Yes, Donner. Leave us.

Roger that.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

Ted, you have no idea.

We need to see the new
mission commander upstairs.

Clean bill of health.
But the pants stay off.

Sorry?
You need your vasectomy,
Donner.

I don't understand.

Your sterilization.
It's painless.

Yeah, actually, it's not.
I had it done when
I got back from Mars.

Well, yeah. Um--

According to your chart,
you did,

but not according
to your scan.

When were you gonna tell
everybody else?

In 43 days--

when you get to Venus.

I've always believed that this
was my mission, my ship.

That I was traveling on the path
that Ganesha wanted for me.

That this--
[ Scoffs ]

out here were where
my challenges and obstacles lay.

I feel so lost now.

I cannot understand this.

I cannot.

Who needs this path
more than I?

[ TV Announcer, Indistinct ]
[ Maddux ]
Pop, I'm going on the mission.

It's six years,
and I don't know if you're
gonna be here when I get back.

[ Exhales ]

You had the sweetest slider
I ever saw.

Fastball, changeup,

monster curve.

[ Scoffs ]

You had all the tools.

I wanted
something else, Pop.

Pour me another
'fore you leave.

[ Announcer ]
Here's the stretch now.

[ Sniffles ]
Maybe I could request
a replacement.

I could come back on the pod.

No. There's no time for that.

Jen, forgive me.

I want you to know that
I was gonna be there with you.

You'd be there
with me?

Yeah.
For what?

For everything.

Just remember
how much I love you.

Okay?

[ Sniffles ]

[ Whispering ]
Show me.

You can't call an ambulance
on the surface of Mars.

[ Was ]
Well, you realize this all
points to a common cause.

I mean, there's no way
it occurred randomly.

It could be viral,
environmental,
something they were eating.

We were eating.

They're looking into everything.
Claire's gonna be monitoring
us all very closely.

[ Baby Crying ]

Did you hear that?

- What?
- [ Crying Continues ]

- That.
- No.

No.

It's the, uh--
It's the rotator arm.

- I'm gonna go check on Ajay.
- [ Wass ] Oh, tell him I got
the porno up and running,

so he can pop his HALO off
and just enjoy.

- [ Laughing ]
- [ Beeping ]

** [ Speakers: Rock ]

Zoe Barnes?
Uh, I'm Ajay... Sharma.

Hi, Ajay.
Hi.

[ Ajay Stammers ]

It's a good thing
that you won the bucket.

I'm not so sure about that.
No, it--

Upchucking--
It is an obstacle that
we all must face eventually,

and you were just fortunate
enough to face it first.

Uh, there's-- I--
Ajay, scram.

- Girl talk.
- Oh, uh, okay.

Another time, then.

Can I get
a vodka cran, please?
Somebody's got a boyfriend.

If that's vodka, drink up.

Thank God. I'm not pregnant.
Oh, no, no.

You are pregnant.
Means you're just
not gonna have a baby.

Well, last time I looked,
it was the law.
It's a stupid law.

You know, a couple
of justices kick,
and it'll be reversed.

Zoe, you have
more than one option here.

Yeah--
[ Clears Throat ]
I don't know.

There are over a thousand
qualified applicants
for your slot alone.

I mean, getting into this
program was winning the lottery.

Believe me, I know.
I know.

Okay. So you cannot give it up
for a one-night stand.
I mean, you just can't.

Look, I know of a guy.
He's a doctor.

When you're ready,
just give me the word.

Think I need some air.

Zoe. Hey--
Not now.

Dude, you don't
stand a chance.

[ Laughs ]

[ Baby Crying ]

[ Ajay Speaking
Foreign Language ]

Ajay?

[ Rollie On Headset ]
Mission Control,
this is Antares.

Antares, this is Control.
Do we have permission
to put up the cameras?

[ Zipper Closes ]
You do indeed,
Mission Control.

And thank you
for your discretion.

Yeah, well, we didn't
want that to end up
in Wassenfelder's vidbank.

Uh, listen, Rollie,

we just had the cameras
and operation controls for the
air lock corridors go off-line.

We can't seem
to get 'em back up.

Yeah, we're seeing that too.
I'll get Ajay down
to look at it.

Actually, I think Ajay's
the problem.

I just saw him enter
the air lock corridor. I tried
to follow, but he locked me out.

[ Foreign Language ]

[ Air Hisses ]

[ Beeping ]

Flight, I'm showing an E.V.A.
and M.M.U. pack up and running.

Damn it.
He's going for a walk.

[ Whispering Foreign Language ]

How soon until we can
override his instructions?

We're working on it.
Give us five minutes.

If he's in that suit,
we don't have five minutes.

Where the hell's Donner?
On his way in.

- And what's the time
to Venus burn?
- Six hours, nine minutes.

Ajay's heart rate
and B.P. are spiking.

Antares, this is Control.
Have you made contact?

Negative, Control.
Rollie's running
through the channels.

Looks like his comm's off.

This guy tested the most stable
in the entire program.

- Does anyone know
if Hindus commit suicide?
- No, they don't.

Least I don't think they do.
Let me talk to him.

He's turned his comm off.
Well, that's not good.

He's moving away
from the ship.

Don't do that, Ajay.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
Space travel is a fool's game.

Human beings are 60% water.

We sleep, eat, defecate,
can't follow directions,

and we explode like piñatas
when exposed to the vacuum
of space.

[ Zoe ]
What's he doing?

[ Paula ]
Putting himself in orbit.

[ Zoe ]
Oh, Ajay.

Well, wherever he's going,
I hope he makes it.

Flight, we've just been able
to override his programming.

We now have control
of the air locks.

- Antares, this is Control.
Did you copy that?
- We have that here.

I'll go out.
I can go out and get him.

We want to go out
and get him.
Do you copy?

Yeah.
Let her go.

Mike, let her go.

Negative.

I'll eat the loss of
an E.V.A. suit.

I can't afford
to lose another crew member.

You and Shaw ship out
in two hours.

Get your ass in gear.

That's it?
That's what?

You're just gonna
let him die?

I got six hours to launch
a $10 trillion mission
on its way to Venus.

I don't have time for Ajay
and his silly little meltdown.

And I sure as hell
don't have time for you.

Don't piss me off now, Donner.
Not now.

[ People Gasping,
Murmuring ]

- [ Muttering ]
- Soon as I get back, I quit.

Arnel, how much time
has he got left
in that suit? Eight hours?

Give or take.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
My old man is right
about every single item...

except the initial premise.

Man belongs in space
because of exactly what
he brings into the void.

We carry the baggage
of our past--

our fears, our superstitions,
our failings.

Mercury went direct
two hours ago.

It's too late for Ajay.

No, it isn't.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
But we also carry
our hopes and our dreams,

the hard lessons
learned from our lives.

Donner, Shaw,
you dock your craft
to the Antares right now.

Uh, negative, Flight.
Unless you can override
these controls,

I think we're gonna take
a little detour.

- They're on 41.
- [ Beeping ]

[ Maddux On Radio ]
Hell of a view out there, huh?

[ Ajay On Radio ]
Ganesha and I have
been enjoying it very much.

Ganesha?

He is the lord of obstacles.

But he's also the lord
of new beginnings.

All right. Well, you wanna
hitch a ride back in
and start something new?

This is my path, Donner.
Right here.

All the way to Venus.

Correct me
if I'm wrong here, Ajay,
but if you stay out here,

doesn't that mean
you gotta start all over
in the next lifetime?

Now, I mean,
I'm no expert.

But you're the one who's
always telling me that, uh--

that each of us
has lessons to learn...

and obstacles to overcome.

So maybe this is your big one.

You know?
Maybe you overcome this
and you take a big step...

towards nirvana.

You don't understand.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a second.

You think
I don't understand?

I think I do.

My path is here on this ship
with these people.

Your path's back
on Earth, Ajay.

But you know what?
We can't do it alone.

You, me, the ship--
We're a three-way.

[ Chuckles ]

We need each other.

[ Maddux Narrating ]
For all our faults,

and whether we're guided
by our destiny
or we guide it ourselves,

we're resilient.

We can adapt.

There's something
I must do first.

Yeah.

[ Cheers, Applause ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Maddux ]
We can find redemption in
the simplest acts of humanity.

I've never heard of a robot
or a probe that was
able to do that.

So...

if space travel's
a fool's game, then, uh--

Hey, that's what I am.
So be it.

But I've never
felt more alive...

or more human.

[ Man On Radio ]
Antares, you are go for Venus
in five, four, three,

two, one.

Ignition.

[ Man ]
* Ain't it good *

* To be alive *

* Ain't it good *

* To be alive *

* To feel the sun *

* Strong against your face *

* It spills over me *

* Like the Milky Way *

** [ Vocalizing ]

** [ Ends ]

Mmm. Ahh.
