You don't know the components!

Components, American components,

Russian components. All made in Taiwan!

We're gettin' tight

for ignition, Freedom.

- Houston, we've got no fire.

- What does that mean?

- lt means we got a busted ship.

- A busted ship?

And l'm strapped in here?

l had a great spot

picked out there.

Freedom, you fire that engine.

lf there's not a way, you find

a way. The clock's tickin'.

Let's go! Let's fire

that engine, Freedom!

You got less than a minute.

Don't think l won't blow this thing.

Sharp, get out of here.

lt's gettin' bad down here.

l know how to fix it.

Please, move.

l-l have to take you away

if you don't move.

Watts, you gotta get that shuttle

started. You gotta fire it up now!

Damn it, Sharp.

Get off this rock!

He doesn't know how to fail.

We win, Gracie!

Press it!

We have detonation.

Confirming detonation.

The two halves are gonna miss us

by 400 miles...

and most of the small particles

have been vaporized.

- We copy that, Freedom.

Yo, Harry. You the man.

Kennedy, we see you.

And you never looked so good.
