I do not need to look

on anything.

All my experts tell

me that everything is okay;

and you tell me to reevaluate a

$ 40 billions and mission in a sense?

That is correct.

Bud, your emotions go down as one

floss at a Willie Nelson concert.

I'll keep an eye on this.

If the data does not change ...

So leave it to me for

to make a decision, as always.

February, March, April, May, June,

July, August ...

Time to wake up.

Hyper Sleep over.

Come on Ford, I'm starving!

Randall, why are you dressed like that?

What have you done?

Just made coffee.

I am a morning person.

Good morning, Julie.

What happened here?

Ok, I will be the first to say it.

It looks like we've got space rats.

Space rats?

You have been awake!

No! It was not me!

It was the hairy one!

He! The naughty one!

It is obvious that he was sorry

about it and do not want to talk about it.

Oh, my God ...

It has been shown that Ulysses is a

of these geniuses ... ... painting monkeys.

It is food.

You've been awake all the time and

used up all our food!

What should we do now, go fishing?

Look! Look! It's gone!

We are lost!

I have spare supplies ...

And what have we here?

Anchovy paste. I love it!

- Liver cream! It is good.

- It's good for your gums.

Fish balls!

I do not eat fish cakes!

- Bill.

- What?

We're here.

Okay, kids, here we go.

Randall, stop eating and

Pay attention.

We have separation.

Request clearance for landing.

Clear, Pilgrim. Verify separation.

Over and out.

The separation confirmed.

You have clear evidence for the landing.

Understood. Start of ignition.

Pilgrim is through the high door

80%

Status?

Aero-Shell-developed,

acceleration speed to normal.

Now enter the Martian atmosphere.

We have a problem!

Glide path and growing!

I see it, Ford.

We lose stability!

-No, wait, wait ...

- I need numbers!

10% no, 12%!

Projectile path wound!

- Is it 10 or 12?

- I agree on 12.

Initializing 12% gimbal correction.

Communications disruption

for three minutes.

I knew it was 12.

Lord dammit.

Look at it.

Starts landing rocket engines.

It's OK, little buddy.

It will go well.

Pilgrim, this is Houston.

Pilgrim, can you hear us?

Pilgrim, this is Houston.

Come in.

Houston, this is Planitia base.

Pilgrim has landed.

Commander Overbeck

leaving the capsule,

and within a few seconds will

to stand on the surface of Mars

and into the history books.

This is a great day for us, leg.

Very High.

Mr. President, the world's peoples, from

a poor farm boy from Iowa

it is a really great honor to

be the first one ...

- Fred, take a quiet ...

- ... to set foot on Mars.

It was not me!

Randall, I'll kick you in the ass!

- Golly!

- It's incredible!

We are the first

ever been on Mars!

Now you're the biggest idiot

the two planets.

We are the first to speak in March!

Hi, Julie, I'm the first to

walk backwards on Mars!

The first to give a kiss on Mars!

Hello, you're the first

blush on Mars.

How would you like to be the

first to die on Mars?

Excuse me, He who was first to

display unwarranted anger on Mars!

I do not listen.

I turn off my radio.

You are the first that was not

listen to me in March.

Please talk to me.

I want to know more about you

the first time in March.

- Are we there now?

- Can I drive?

- No!

You let me never to run!

Shut up.

Hey, there's no airbag.

I can fly out through the windshield?

There is no windshield.

Okay, but if I could fly

through the visor on my helmet?

I die happy.

Here it is.

Valles Marineris.

Stay here, Ford.

This will be perfect.

- This is where we place the flag.

- Copy that.

I put up the weather station,

come back in an hour.

I unload this equipment.

We met up here at 1400th

1400, clearly.

Be careful out there, Ford.

Okay, this is the place.

It is the perfect place here.

Randall, where's the flag?

It will, Commander.

It was not me! But I got it!

You idiot!

Who are you talking to?

Do you understand what you've just done?

I've waited my whole life to

place a flag on another planet!

Now I'm on another planet,

which was the hard part;

and I do not have a flag,

'Because you lost it'!

Do not worry, I have another option.

A high-flying flag of a proud flag!

A wonderful option!

What are you doing?

We are making history, Commander.

ATTENTION:

It is the president.

Why do I throw myself not

just out of this rock?

- Why do not I throw you out?

- Do not worry, they are clean.

We have had a red mark on

Overbeck.

The oxygen tank is leaking.

We must preserve his SOP.

Solutions?

Emergency tube.

Pair him with another costume.

Do it, doc.

Bill, this is Houston.

You have a leak in your primary tank.

I understand.

What do we do?

Connect to your emergency hose

by Randall

additional valve and divide until

you come back to Pilgrim.

Houston, this is hygienic?

Hello, Captain?

Yes?

Do you believe in UFOs at all?

Sure, I think I on UFOs

Do you?

Yes. There is one who follows me.

Oh, I get it!

Really fun, Commander!

- Hello, Captain?

- Yes?

When I was a little boy, at night thought

I think it was a baker in my bed.

Did you ever think that there were

anything under your bed?

No.

You never bent down and looked?

No.

How did you know that there was a

bakers in your bed?

Randall, shut up.

Hello, Captain?

Huh?

I seem to have any significant

intestinal cramps.

Randall, I'm trying to

save oxygen here.

But it hurts so much!

Keep it to yourself.

I think it takes 20 minutes

until we see Pilgrim.

Huh?

I have not done anything.

Oh, my God ...

Do not do it ... No, no ...

Oh, damn!

- It was not me.

- What do you mean?

We are 35 million mil from

the nearest person!

The heart rate up, your adrenaline up,

abdominal muscle spasms!

- Overbeck is in distress.

- Look at these levels of methane gas.

Methane?

Oh, it's in my mouth!

Hello, He who said it did!

What?

I have problems breathing.

Do you have trouble breathing?

My eyes burn!

Honestly, it was not me!

Maybe it was Julie.

- You bastard!

- Hey, miracles can happen.

Blame this on Julie!

OK, I admit it was me.

Thank you very much!

Now it was Julie!

It seems that Fred is right.

The winds come earlier.

Maybe two or three days.

Look at the data.

We should still be OK tomorrow.

Wait a second, no, it would not be OK!

By my calculations, these

two low pressure systems ...

come together much faster than

we could have counted on tomorrow.

And then we are no more a pond rat

in a dust bag.

Do you go out there,

you do not return.

What are you, Randall?

Is not it enough that you have violated

all records I have set,

you humiliated me

on television for the whole world,

and you ruined my highlight of my

life by stepping down on Mars first?

It is not enough for you!

You must do this!

No, this is my.

We came to Mars to collect fossil samples.

We do not for me

have done it!

Bill, I do not want to stop the mission

more one you want, but ...

I know that he is right.
