If we do not leave before the storm

will, we can not leave.

Okay, what do you suggest?

Tomorrow we check the reading.

If they are bad ...

we finish.

All right.

Let's get some sleep.

- What did Overbeck?

- Wait until tomorrow.

Maybe I was wrong about the winds.

Maybe I should have kept quiet.

Let me tell you, Fred.

If the Apollo 13 mission.

The day before the start I saw a bug

in the tank whipping circuit.

It did not tell you sincerely, but

I told Wick that we would postpone.

He said it was not possible to

move the start date,

and that I overreacted,

imagined a problem.

As Apollo 13 was Wicks wrong?

No. I had the responsibility to stop

launch, but I did not.

If not the ones the astronauts had

accomplished a miracle,

they had died, and the

would have been my fault.

I will not let this happen this time.

I'll be sure to get you out of this.

Hey, Bud ...

I would be proud to be like you.

I understood it.

Bud end.

Mushroom people are coming!

Get them off!

Peace! Wake up! Peace!

Bill is gone. He took Ulysses and

reserve your backpack, and he is gone.

Holy fat mother!

Okay, buddy, here we are.

Come on ... Come on ...

How are things going for them up there?

Morning, sir. We would just wake them.

Do you want this?

Oh, Great!

It's over, Paul.

Sir, I lay down, we now adjourn.

Bud, do not do that I must

summoning the guards.

I will not allow another accident happens!

He ignored all warnings!

- Running, would you come in here?

- Our mission is in jeopardy.

- Do not harder.

- Do not do this, sir.

Bud, we are all under great stress.

You just need to rest.

Ben, those people will die.

Bud, you have totally lost it.

We have not received any negative reports.

Get him out of here.

Paul, we have a contact at a

distress frequency.

On-screen.

Pilgrim, this is Houston.

Houston, the storm is here!

Wind strength is 90 mph and rising!

- Siktbarheten drops.

- Houston, what should we do?

What shall we do!

Paul?

Randall, no, it's impossible.

Our weather analysis ...

Mr. Wick, I have not seen

something like this.

It reminds me of

a French Canadian ...

Tennis racket stuck to a ...

Crashing out of my sister's ...

Mild powers!

I can not be any clearer!

Wick, get them away from where the planet!

Do as he says, Paul.

Ben, we could not have known.

I followed this procedure, Ben.

I followed the procedure

Paul, unplug and go home.

Unplug and go home?

Nesbitt, you have commanded.

- Houston, do you understand? Come in!

- We understand. Wait.

Do not stare at me!

We have a crew out there!

Let's bring them home.

Houston, wind speed

continues to increase.

It's bad, Paul.

Ford, it's Bud. Listen.

If the wind continues to increase, if

20 minutes will start to be impossible.

Push up now.

No! Commander Overbeck and

Ulysses is still out there!

They are lost now.

You are not there.

Start!

- I go after them.

- What?

Fred? Peace, answer me! Peace!

Can not hear you!

Your signal is breaking up!

If I'm not back in 20 minutes,

you must start without me!

You'll be back.

20 minutes, and then we start!

20 minutes, right?

Not 15 or something?

All right.

21 is OK, too.

Ford, what happens?

I lose you! Julie!

Commander!

Commander Overbeck!

Ulysses!

Where are you? Answer me!

There you are!

I told you, do not go out in

a Martian sandstorm!

We need to find the commander.

Where are they?

Commander!

Commander Overbeck!

Randall?

Captain, are you?

Randall!

It is you!

OK, stand back, little buddy.

Nothing to see here.

What are you doing here? Getting back

to the ship and save yourself!

Sorry, I can not do it.

That's an order!

I have to help you out.

I can not lift it.

They say when a mother's child

jammed,

give her the adrenaline

strength of 12 but.

- Captain, call me mom!

- What?

Call me mom now!

I'd rather die in the Martian soil!

- Who am I?

- Just lift the damn thing!

- Who am I?

- Mom.

Say that you love me.

Mom ... Please, Mommy, save me.

- Mom will, little Billy!

- Save me!

Live, baby! Live!

You are in life, Little Billy!

Call me not little Billy!

There is no way to

talk to your mom.

- Houston, this is Ford.

- Julie, where's Fred?

Still out there.

I initiated the start.

They still have time!

Give them a chance!

I know what I do.

Which way Commander?

Can not get any readings.

Take cover behind that rock.

Come on, Ulysses.

I go out there and

take a closer look.

The Pilgrim!

It's too late! She starts now!

She leads us to the engines!

Come on!

I'll take Ulysses.

The tank is empty!

We share the air.

We do not have an extra tube!

Then I give him mine.

It does not leave anyone behind.

And what, you should hold your breath?

You'll never make it!

Do not forget, I'm the new NASA

record holder of lung capacity.

It was three minutes!

This is, what, four, maybe five?

You've ignored me the entire trip, and now

when I have no air left would you talk?

Randall ...

Oh, no, not now!

20 minutes have passed.

Wait ... I see one!

Ford, what's going on?

I have it!

Ford, who is it?

Julie, can you hear us?

Fred, are you there? Fred

Listen, anyone!

Bill! Where's Fred?

He should be here.

Do not start.

There he is!

Peace ...

He goes the wrong way! Peace!

Hello! Peace!

- Get me out of this!

- What are you doing?

It's empty anyway

- He keeps the spirit out here.

- Oh, My God!

If I'm not back in 5 minutes ...

Faster! Faster!, Bill!

Bill, is he OK?

Is he OK?

He's not breathing!

Take off his helmet!

Did not think of it, Randall!

Houston, this is the Pilgrim ...

Carol Ann?

Go toward the light.

Houston?

Oh it's you! Ulysses!

No! Julie!

No. ... Ulysses need air!

Houston! Come in!

We are on board.

- We must make clear to start.

- Get it from there!

Roger, preparing take-off.

Not the hairy! Take me!

- Loading the main engine.

- Rocket engine intact.

Fred? Peace!

He's OK! He was just resting.

Rocket engines are started at three, two ...

- Hold on.

- ... One.

We have lift.

50 meters.

100th

- Increases the speed.

- 200 meters.

The course is good.

Good flier, Uncle walnut.

One thousand ... two thousand ...

Increases the speed.

Five thousand ... Six thousand ...

Eight-thousand.

- You are almost free from the storm.

Ten thousand.

- All systems green.

- I think we did it.

What the hell what?

- Houston, we had a collision!

- It was not me!

- The controls are compromised!

- Go over to backup power.

- We lose speed.

- Status!

EC-LSS down, OMS, down, down communication.

Everything is totally dead.

Solutions!

Randall connects the entire circuit

for two minutes.

Bud, what are we doing here?

We do nothing.

Pilgrim is in free fall.

Navigation controls excluded.

I need engine computers now!

This time it was definitely not me!

Switches to manual.

Look down there.

Randall, what's it like down there?

So here!

Fix it!

Stop the ship spinning

and give me a week!

You have two minutes!

To summarize, the Pilgrim was
