Devon, have you packed
your jacket?

Yeah.

- And the tie?
- Yeah, Mom, all the fancy shit.

- The green dress.
- Good.

That one looks nice on you.

Can't - Can't we just stay at Dad's?

- We have three more days.
- We're spending it together.

- Mandy'll keep you company.
- You don't need the both of us.

- No discussion.
- To the car.

His girlfriend's having a pool
party, and he wanted to go.

He has a girlfriend?

I liked that one.

Me, too.

We're willing to offer
a sizable settlement

in return for your client
dropping all suits,

as well as promising
not to engage

any further with the press.

Here is the figure we propose.

Whoo!

- Thank you, folks.
- We'll be back in 15.

- Hey.
- How were the chops?

- Perfect.
- That was a good call.

- She's great.
- They are something special.

You guys staying
for the next set?

- Uh, you know what?
- It's a school night.

- I think we're gonna roll.
- Are you finished with that?

- Yeah. Yeah, thank you.
- Okay. See you at home.

- Hey, what's the damage?
- No. I got it.

- Oh, no, no. Let me.
- Oh, it's fine.

We get a discount.

It seems like she's doing
really well.

Yeah, getting by right now.

What time do you
lose your sitter?

- Midnight.
- Can I take you somewhere?

Hey.

- How you doing, Tom?
- How are you?

Hi.

- Thanks, Chicken.
- Yeah, you got it, bud.

His name is Chicken?

Did I make a mistake
by bringing you here?

No.

I'm glad you did.

I like remembering him
like this.

All right. I won.

Hey, uh, rematch!

How many times
do you want to lose?

He was so competitive.

He used to get so angry
if I beat him at darts.

Yeah, you cost us
a lot of quality time.

Denise went to swim camp here.

First day down there
in the shallow end,

she dives headfirst,

- bang, straight on her head.
- Oh, no.

It's bleeding like hell.

She's not crying,
but when I tell her

she's not gonna be able
to continue camp,

it's like the horror-film
version of a teenager saying,

"Oh, my God, Dad!"

- Like, you know?
-

Hey.

Did Diane do this?

It's how we first met.

- This one?
- One and only.

She was really talented.

Yeah, she was.

Should we roll?

- Yeah.
- Let's do it.

Earth, not space, that's how we
save the human race!

Earth, not space, that's how
we save the human race!

Earth, not space, that's how
we save the human race.

Earth, not space...

This is a fragment
from the upper level

of the first stage.

This portion here did not match

any of the alloys
we used in the build.

The composition was a mixture
of copper and nickel.

It's a tradition
for the Providence crew

to bring a quarter
into the White Room

as a good luck ritual.

The quarter was given
to a technician

before they entered the capsule.

We believe he must have
dropped it on to the transom,

or it fell out of his pocket.

The quarter was then lodged onto
a - a spring-loaded dust cover

of one of the forward
booster separation motors

on the starboard SRB right here.

When the BSMs ignite,
these dust covers,

they fling open due to
the 20,000 pounds of thrust

generated by the BSM.

When this happened, the quarter
was flung with enough velocity

to puncture the LOX tank
of the first stage.

The impact provided
an ignition source,

enabling the aluminum skin
of the LOX tank

to be rapidly consumed by fire,

exacerbated by the presence
of pure oxygen in th...

Madam Chairperson, if I may.

The Chair recognizes
the Senator from Massachusetts.

These five lives were lost
because of a coin?

We design these vehicles

to meet
the anticipated environment

in which
they're supposed to function.

We consider thousands
of possible scenarios.

What we didn't anticipate
was the equivalent

of a high-powered rifle
being shot point...

Five lives.

That's what I'm trying
to wrap my head around.

How do we justify the loss
of these lives?

You're supposed to be
at work in an hour.

I know.

You okay?

Ohh.

Maybe you should call in sick.

- I'll be fine.
- It just...

just hits me sometimes...
out of nowhere.

Work's good.

It's a distraction.

- That's new.
- What?

Homeless woman.

I see her a lot
outside the restaurant.

- It's good.
- It's okay.

Well, maybe
it's just the working nights.

You may need more sun.

Nights are better.

It's when it's the hardest.

Some of you were alive
when Neil Armstrong

first set foot on the moon.

I wasn't, but I've watched
that footage at least 100 times.

It still gives me goose bumps.

That this nation... we were able
to accomplish something

so profound...

that the human race is capable
of leaving our planet

and setting foot
on a celestial object

that thousands of generations
before us have...

have stared at with wonder

and never imagining it
was within reach.

It's proof of what
we can achieve

when we set our sights
on the impossible

and say, "You know what?"

It is possible."

You talk of educating
and feeding our youth.

Yes, we have that duty.

But we also have the duty
to inspire them, Senator.

What is the point of being
healthy and educated

if not to strive
for a higher purpose?

I feel this as strongly as an
astronaut as I did in the Army.

- Screen off.
- We can watch if you want.

No, no.

Let's go eat outside.

Oh.

Everything okay down there?

Oh, my God.

Did you really
sneak that out here?

Captain "Hogerty"
is a sneaky fellow.

Mm. Captain Hogerty
it's been a while.

It has been a while.

Your turn, Ms. Hogerty.

And maybe you shouldn't do...

You know, I was thinking

I'd like to start
painting again.

That's a great idea.

I've saved up a bit
for supplies... oils, brushes.

I can help you with supplies,
if you want.

I was also thinking maybe
I could clean up

Mom's shop downstairs,
turn it into a studio.

My room's too small.

I don't want to get paint
on the floor.

And the fumes...

I mean, if you want a place
to work,

we can rent you a place.

Well, that's a waste of money
when the shop's right here.

Yeah, but it's so dirty
down there.

- It's so dusty.
- I'll clean it, so...

I mean...
No, it's like pests...

- cockroaches, rats...
- Dad, I can clean it.

You don't have to do anything.
It's fine.

It's not about me
having to do anything.

I want to work there.

It means something to me.

Finished?

Yeah.

I feel really useless sometimes.

I don't know
the right thing to say.

I don't know
the right thing to do.

You're not useless.

I can take you to work later,
if you want.

If we go in the next
launch window...

May of '33...
it will only cost 22 more.

So, then my question would be
whether that was $70 billion

down the drain to begin with.

We all know that the explosion
was not due to a design fault.

It was human error, so, no,
I don't think anything...

Well, you know,
in North Carolina,

we could have used
some of that money for schools,

for infrastructure,
job training, energy conversion.

I'm talking hundreds of programs
to benefit thousands of people,

not just the... the jobs created
in my colleague's state.

A mission to Mars will benefit
all of humankind.

The technology we're developing,

what we'll learn scientifically
is immeasurable...

- You know...
- ...not just for Mars, but...

...what the Colonel said
about inspiration...

It's all well and good.

Now you go on about science
and technology.

How does that help
the 5-year-old

with no school lunch program?

How does that help
the truck driver

whose job has been automated
by a self-driving...

Senator, can I answer
your question?

- I'm not finished.
- Uh, Madam Chairwoman,

I believe that Ms. Ingram
should be given the opportunity.

- Let's hear her full answer.
- Thank you.

What we're confronting
is widespread drought,

rising sea levels,
record extinction rates.

There are currently

over 900 million eco-refugees
worldwide.

In the States, cities like Miami
are disappearing.

In my own home, New Orleans,
we've only survived

because of massive levee
projects that are costing

the taxpayers a lot more
than the Mars program.

This is the world that
my children are facing,

that all of our children
are facing.

And as a parent, I would like
to secure their future

and their children's future.

If we don't start
to lay the foundations

for interplanetary
colonization now...

So, you're saying,
"To hell with it.

Let's just go to Mars."

Wrong.

I'm saying let's tackle both...

find solutions here on Earth

and an exploration...

Well, I'm sorry, Ms. Ingram,

but I'm not giving up on Earth.

And when it comes
to our taxpayers,

I'm investing in their home...

this home...
not some other planet.

We need at least a 10-3 vote.

If it's a squeaker,
folks will smell blood

once it gets to the floor.

- We've got Chisolm, Lopez...
- Barnes and Pasternak...

I need six more confirmed yeses.

Well, give me the names,
and I'll make the calls.

I don't think
you're the right person.

The response wasn't so hot
to your doomsday routine.

That's not how I intended it
to come across.

Well, I'm telling you
what they heard.

Are those French fries
over there? Smells good.

I can make some calls.

Vroom!

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!

- I'm gonna catch you.
- Fucking scooter.

You opened up a Pandora's box,
you son of a bitch.

Well, that's gonna be
your problem, not mine.

- Oh, here she comes.
- Oh, is that so?

Dangerous woman.

Well, in person would be better

if you don't mind
a few house visits.

- Wherever you need me.
- Castillo's testifying tomorrow.

So he didn't settle.

Said there wasn't
a number high enough.

Well, let's see
who we can get you with, then.

- Giddy up.
- It's pony show time.

We'll see you in the morning.

Senator.

- Good night.
- Yeah.

- How bad is it?
- Honestly?

Buddy of mine's a trainer
at the Fair Grounds.

He said to me once doping
a horse is never a sure bet,

but the dope don't hurt.

I need the odds.

It's a long shot.

You got any voodoo
we don't know about,

now's the time to use it.

Maybe it's his voice
they need to hear.

Maybe he needs this
as much as you do.

And I ain't saying two messes
make things clean.

But his dirt...

it's got something
different than yours.

One of you is the star.

The other is the dust.

Answer.

Hello, Tom.

Are you clean-shaven?

- Why?
- Are you?

- Yes.
- Good.

I want you to come
to Washington.

- What was that?
- It's just for the day.

- I'll be back tomorrow night.
- Yeah, okay.

Hey, you'll take Apollo
for a walk in the morning,

fill up his bowl?

Yeah, sure.

You know,
I-I don't have to do this.

Yeah, I can't hear you, Dad.

I said,
"I don't have to do this."

- I'll be fine.
- All right.

And you'll call me
if you need anything?

- What?
- I said, "If you need"

anything, call me."

- Yes, yes. I will.
- Travel safe.

All right...
just want you to know,

I started to
clear out downstairs.

Dad, I really...
I can't hear you.

I said I started to clear out

down there in the tattoo par...

- It's too loud.
- I got to get back to work.

- Say again?
- I have to go.

Travel safe.

Here you go, hon.

- Tomorrow?
- Tomorrow.

Can I stay at your place
tonight?

My dad's out of town.

I haven't had been by myself
in the house since...

Yeah. Of course.

Thanks.

If Senator Mills comes at you,
just be brief.

Do not engage with her.

Yeah, and avoid
the climate change argument.

That did not go down well.

I've got our NASA engineers

amending the report
from our end,

so there's no need to go
into anything too technical.

Just talk about your
experiences on the Moon,

the forward momentum,
inspirations...

You're saying
you want me to win them over.

- I am.
- Got it.

- Good.
- Okay, I'm gonna turn in.

I got a 6:00 a. m.
with the Chief-of-Staff.

Is the President on board
with this?

We're trying.

Well, I should turn in, too.

Um, there's one more talking
point, if you've got a second.

Okay.

- Glad to have you here, Tom.
- Good to see you, Bob.

- Yeah. Good night.
- Night.

I know I'm asking a lot,
but this is big of you.

I want to acknowledge that...
It's got nothing to do with me.

- Yes, it does.
- It was your crew.

Tom...

when I relieved you
of your command,

it's because I thought

it was the best thing
to do at that time.

This is a conversation that
I don't want to have with you.

- Okay.
- I thought I would clear the air.

I'm here for Mattie
and the crew.

That's why I'm here.
It's Kayla's mission now.

I gonna make sure she finishes
everything that we started.

- Good.
- That's my duty to the mission.

Mm-hmm.

My own focus right now
is my daughter.

- You're back in touch?
- Yeah.

She's staying with me
at the house.

- How is she?
- It's getting late.

Are we done?

- I was just asking.
- I'll see you tomorrow.

Here's your brief.

Good night.

I don't want to
get mixed up in all this.

You know,
it's not good for Charlotte.

I'm hoping only the Senator's
gonna see it.

Why does it have to be me?

You're the commander's wife.

If you write it,
everyone else signs on.

Okay.

I owe you one.

No.

Matt would have wanted me to.

My greatest fear was that
he would be shot down

and there would be
no body to bury.

He survived the war,
but still...

there was no body to...

Take as much time as you need.

My son went fighting overseas
to defend his country.

That I understood, even if...
as a parent...

it wasn't what I wanted.

But this... there is no reason.

Space? Why?
For what?

This didn't need to happen.

I ask this Committee

to reconsider funding
for this project,

so that more parents

don't have to suffer the loss
that we have.

Apollo!

Apollo!

We now invite
Captain Thomas Hagerty to speak

before the Committee.

Would you like to make
an opening statement?

Madam Chairwoman,

distinguished members
of the Committee,

I don't have
a prepared statement.

As a husband, speaking to the
spouses who lost their partners,

I know what it means
to lose a loved one too early.

As a father speaking
to the mothers and fathers

who lost their children,

I have a daughter,
and she means everything to me.

And if I lost her, I don't know
if I could handle that.

So out of respect
to Mr. and Mrs. Castillo

and to all the families,

I think it would be
inappropriate for me

to assume to justify the deaths
of their loved ones.

I would prefer
not to answer questions.

And that completes my statement.
Thank you.

Tom, I flew you here to testify.

It didn't feel right.

So you say nothing?
You just hand out condolences...

Let me do this my way.

- Mr.
- Mr. Castillo?

Ma'am?

May I speak to you for a moment?

Hey. Yeah.

Good boy.

Nothing showed up for a week.

Searched downriver all the way
to Venice and back...

no body, though.

We buried the casket empty,
just like you.

I get it, that feeling
of helplessness.

Yeah, I'm sorry you
lost your wife.

But it's not the same.

This was preventable.

What we do is dangerous.
People are gonna die.

That's what we're
trying to stop.

You won't.

Not as long as there are people
like your son...

and, I suppose, myself.

I would have given anything

to have been on that rocket
with him.

Let me ask you,
would he have been happy

as a lawyer or anything else?

He'd be alive.

Would he have been happy?

- He hated me for criticizing...
- That's not true.

- He did.
- No.

- Thanksgiving.
- He was drunk.

- He told me he was sick of me...
- He didn't mean it.

...for making him feel small.

He did not mean it.

Well, you saw his eyes.

Did he ever tell you
how much he hated me?

No, sir.

What did he say about us?

He never spoke to me
about his family.

You see?

Your son loved what he did...
that I know.

Here.

I'm gonna show you.

Video.
P-Foxtrot Four.

Back to start.

You, too.

Sync video.

Sync video.

Play.

The aurora.

At that altitude,
you can touch it.

Every color...

colors
you've never seen before...

and lights moving
all around you.

The universe.

And it's right there.

And I always think
of Sagan's words...

"Everyone you ever heard of,"

every human being that ever was,

lived out their lives...

on a mote of dust,

"suspended in a sun beam."

And your boy rode that beam.

And the two of you
gave him a life

that let him live that dream.

I don't see
the Castillos' name on this.

Senator, the Castillos
are reconsidering

their position on the lawsuit.

I spoke to them.

Look, the letter is moving.

But I have to think
about the bigger picture.

I'm considered
about eleven-five.

I mean, you cut corners,

where are we
a year and a half from now?

You're showing me
another one of these letters.

The transit vehicle
can survive for two years.

Everything pre-placed on Mars
is fully operational...

no new builds.

We can do this safely
at half the cost.

Eitan's been through it
line by line.

I'm confident we can make
this number work.

Well, it has been a long day,

so I have to process
all of this.

Does that mean we have a maybe?

That's means
I got to get home to my kids.

I'll walk you out.

She wants to make a deal.

She never would have taken
the meeting if she didn't.

Can you hang around
a couple of more days?

- However long it takes.
- How about you two?

Well, I-I thought we were
heading back tonight.

I got the crew doing
sim training tomorrow.

Tom?

I have to talk to my daughter.

Well, you know, I-I can cancel
if you need me to stay.

No, you should stay on schedule.

Jason. Jason.

Could you get the jet ready?
At Reagan?

- Are we leaving?
- You are.

I need to stay.

You're not coming back with us?

- I can't.
- I want to stay here with you.

I was just calling her.

Uh, she didn't answer.

Tom, we really need you here.

Uh, it's just
the first time that

she's been in the house alone
without me.

Okay, so do you want me
to send someone to check on her?

No.

I could hold the plane
for a while

if you want to try her back.

No.

Let me send someone.

I don't want her to feel
that she's being...

- New message. Denise.
- Oh.

Play.

- Hey.
- Can't call you back right now.

It's a hectic night here,
but no worries

if you need to stay in D. C.
I'll be fine.

Also, I wanted to say thank you
for what you did downstairs.

It means a lot to me.

Okay, good luck.
See you when I see you.

Love you.

I'm sticking around.

- Madam President.
- Laz.

Madam President.

I must say, it's quite an honor
to meet you, Captain.

If you truly honored what we do,

you'd call Senator Mills,

tip her off the fence.

Doing nothing honors nothing,

and that would be disgraceful
towards those who died.

Clarksville, Missouri.
That's where you're from.

Yes, ma'am.

We Midwesterners
don't mince words, do we?

Doers, not talkers.

I've been to Clarksville...

pretty poor stretch
of the river.

I'm proud of my hometown.

My mother was a lock operator.

That's why I was raised there.

What I'm trying to do

is make places
like your hometown

a little better off.

There's only so much money
to go around.

Spending it unwisely...
that's disgraceful.

You lost Missouri,

and you're not
gonna win it next year,

so forgive me if I have
a difficult time

pretending that you're gonna be
sending the money that way.

I think that you're resistant

because this is a project
of the previous administration.

Hmm.

Did you speak to my predecessor
like this?

- I didn't have to.
- We went to the Moon.

We brought back more of it

than all the Apollo missions
combined.

We did it for the country.

We did for science.

And I was able to bring him
back one of these

from the Kepler Crater.

Is this a bribe?

No, ma'am, it's a challenge.

Get us past the Moon.

Own it.

We're not asking for public
support, just the call to Mills.

You can distance yourself
politically for now,

and then, when we succeed,
it's all yours.

It's gorgeous.

I want it right here.

- Uh, your Dad would divorce me.
- It's fine.

He can move to Houston,

and then we can have the place
to ourselves.

Right there.

You're so much more talented
than I am.

We had a perfect record...
not a single incident.

All it takes is one...
five people lose their lives.

All it takes for what?

For human error
in a single incident

to frighten a country away
from its aspirations,

the very ideals that built it
in the first place?

No. We - We can't
lose our courage.

And when I'm talking
about courage,

I'm not talking about
the courage it takes

for someone to step
on the Moon or on Mars.

I'm talking about the courage
of all of us to be

the best version of ourselves.

The honor of being
an astronaut comes

because, despite your training,

despite the thousands of people

that work so hard
to keep you safe,

there's always the chance

that you'll make
the ultimate sacrifice,

and that's only palatable
if you know

that the country will support,
continuing to carry that torch.

Ellen Dawes... the wife
of Commander Dawes...

she wrote a letter.

She said that ending
the Mars program would,

quote,
"Dishonor her husband's death."

- Strong words.
- Honest words.

And I agree with her.

You can vote no if you need
to save face,

but I need you to get Spritzer
and Langford off the fence.

Come on.
You fought the good fight, Ed.

- Installments.
- No lump sum.

Fair enough.

There's an aluminum factory
in Durham...

Oh!
Now we're getting somewhere.

Hey, another, uh, vodka soda
for my friend,

and I'll have another bourbon.

Anything else, sir,
before we land?

- Oh, I'm good.
- Thank you.

Ma'am?

Oh, um, some Advil
if you have it.

Let me check.

Out cold.

Yeah, I wish I could
sleep like that.

- Flaring up?
- It always gets bad on planes.

I didn't take any meds
this morning.

My mother always told me
that I said "thank you"

and "sorry" too much, so...

I stopped saying either.

But I owe you both.

- Not necessary.
- Team effort.

You took us over the top.

Well, I wouldn't count
your chickens.

Well, 48 hours ago,
I didn't have any chickens,

and now I can hear
some clucking.

Would you consider coming back?

I- I know that
Denise is your first priority,

but since
you said that she's doing...

Coming back how?
Training?

As commander.

Could I get a cup
of coffee, please?

I mean, obviously,
I'd have to talk to Bob and...

and get NASA approval and...

Where's this coming from?

Um.

I've put a lot
of thought into it.

Well, it seems pretty sudden.

I didn't ever want you to leave.

It was a mistake to let you go.

- Kayla could be your second.
- It's her crew.

We've got one shot at this...

and I need the best team.

Is that the reason,

or is it because I can help you
get the money?

That's a big part of it.

We'd have to cut someone.

So we cut someone.

None of the rest are anywhere
near as qualified.

Denise is doing well... now.

I don't know how she'll be
in a year.

I don't know
how she'll be tomorrow.

- I understand.
- I'm willing to take that risk.

Well, I don't know if I am.

All right, everyone.

We're about to make
our final descent.

We should be on the ground
in about 10 minutes.

Mandy. Seat belt.

Ohh.
I hate landings.

It's just the flaps.

If you're still enough for long
enough, the lights will go off.

Mom and me
used to play that game.

I thought you were at work.

Called in sick.

- You sick?
- No.

It looks great.

It's a start.

Really still...

In about a minute,
they'll go off.

You have to barely breathe.

They want me back.

They want me to command.

NASA might nix it.
I don't even know if I want to.

You're the most
important thing, and...

tell me to say no,
I'm gonna say no.

But if I did do it...

...do you think
we could make that work?

I mean, you're so much better

than I've seen you in so long.

I think we can make it work.

I think we could.

Would you say something, please?

Shh.
