C- O-N- T-R- O-L...

Come in, Control.

C- O-M-E I-N...

C- O-N- T-R- O-L...

Come in, Control.

Max's code.

- Morse code.

- Max's code.

Damn! They're talking to us!

We got Morse code.

Jack, translate this.

Jinx, I'm treating you

to a can of oil.

Request...alternate...

landing...

White...

White Sands.

Columbia, '82--check it out.

White Sands re-entry window

is nine minutes.

Get me White Sands.

We have to send them

a landing software update.

I hope White Sands is ready for this.

They'll make it ready.

It's our only shot.

- They're never gonna hear this.

- Just keep going, Tish.

What's wrong now?

Whip me, beat me,

take away my charge card!

NASA is talking!

- Did somebody say NASA?

- It's NASA!

It's NASA!

Guys, they need

an OMS burn, like now!

- OMS burn coming right up.

- Window coordinates?

She's gotta slow that thing

down to 4,800.

It's not Andie, Zach.

I just got that.

Andie's hurt.

Some kid named Kathryn

is flying the bird.

113 by 17.

Window coordinates--

113 by 17.

Roger that.

We figured 250 by 19.

Well, we weren't that far off.

Our time parameter--0210.

We have to be at re-entry

at 0210, and that's in...

That's in six minutes!

Zach wants to know

how Andie's doing.

Give me a headset.

- She wants a headset.

- She wants a headset?

Okay, Andie, relax.

Don't worry about it.

We can handle it, okay?

Max, you and Andie

get strapped in.

Get me out of this now.

Helium pressure...

Kevin, you know,

I never knew how to do this.

- I don't know--

- Of course you can do it.

No, it's re-entry.

What's the worst thing

that could happen?

We'll all die, right'?

We're all gonna die

if you don't do it,

so just relax, okay?

You're panicked.

You're damn right I'm panicked.

Okay, fine. That's perfect.

I'll do it.

All right.

Tish, you ever read a book

on how to fly this thing?

Okay, I'll do it.

So competitive, aren't we?

Okay, team.

Let's put these helmets on,

and let's do it.

Okay, Kathryn,

lock coordinates in.

Coordinates locked in.

Stand by for OMS burn.

Twenty-nine seconds

and counting.

Hey, Max, we're going home.

Great! I'm starving.

All right, OMS burn

on my mark.

Three...two...

one...mark.

Preparing for yaw manoeuvre.

You're doing great, Pilot.

Come on, Kathryn,

you can do it.

Just take it easy.

Entry interface in two minutes.

Re-entry's in range.

Prepare for 180 roll.

Standing by.

Okay, and...

Go for roll.

You're lookin' good!

We're passing through 135 degrees

on the way to 180, Andie.

You said you couldn't

fly this thing.

I think we came around too much.

- Oh, no, wait a minute.

- What's wrong?

- What's happening?

- Look!

Kathryn, make it stop!

Kathryn, you're in a flat spin.

You've got to concentrate.

She's lost it.

She's coming in out of control.

Ionization blackout

in 30 seconds.

Tracking's gonna lose them.

Coming up on re-entry.

We've gotta stabilize.

You guys, get strapped in!

What happened to the lights?

The trainer.

Remember the trainer.

You can do it.

Kathryn, listen to me.

We talked about

when it would be your turn.

This is it.

Do you COPY?

I COPY-

Good work.

You've got to bring the nose up.

We have to go in

at an angle.

Right. Re-entry angle should be

30 degrees at least.

We're at 26.

Twenty-seven. Keep going.

Twenty-eight!

- Ionization blackout.

- We've lost contact.

Watch the readout

on the nose attitude indicator.

You can fly it, Kathryn.

Keep the nose at 30 degrees.

Twenty-nine...

Just a little bit more.

Push it. Thirty!

- It's not holding.

- We're burning up!

Come on, be there.

Don't push it.

Ease up on the yaw jets.

Come on!

Come on, keep holding it.

Come on.

Kathryn, you can do it.

Where are we'?

We're dead.

We didn't make it.

I know we made it.

I know we did.

Goldstone's picked them up.

You did it.

- She did it!

- Good job, Kathryn.

Good flying, Kathryn!

Oh, God.

Good job.

You did it, Kathryn.

No. We all did it.

Damn right we did!

We all did it.

Atlantis, this is Control.

Do you copy?

- Mission Control!

- NASA!

Copy that, Control.

This is Atlantis.

All right!

Way to go.

Andie, are you all right?

Yeah.

We're all fine.

We're just real happy to be home.

Amen.

Atlantis, we have you on auto

and we are bringing you home.
