Space Warriors Page #4

---

Dani is a whiz at robotics,

and Lacey's a born pilot.

So what's your specialty?

Writing essays?

Hey. Hey, hey,

hey, hey. hey!

Hey. HEY-

The only thing you two are

gonna be hitting is the showers.

Now go on, Rusty.

Hi. This is Jimmy.

I can't take your call right now,

so you know what to do

at the beep.

How'd you find me?

While you're asleep,

we inject each one of you

with a homing device

so we can track you on GPS.

[ Chuckles ]

Groundskeeper called,

said there was some debris

on the moon.

You're lucky I got here

before they sandblasted you off.

I'm sorry about the exercise.

Rusty's right.

I wanted to succeed so badly,

I lost my focus.

I think I should resign from the team.

Jimmy, you think

you're the only one

who ever took a shortcut?

You?

I was in Mission Control in 2003.

My dad told me about it.

Howl buried him?

How you stood by him.

Well, until I didn't.

Until you couldn't anymore.

You--You stood by him

as long as you could.

He told me he lost it,

he hurt his own cause.

He and I are like that sometimes.

Well, sometimes being all-in,

even over your head,

is a good thing.

It's better than wondering if you

bailed out just a beat too soon.

Nah, it was--

It was nobody's fault.

Everybody did their job,

but there isn't a day that goes by

that we won't think about

that accident.

But you have to remember

it is about the mission,

not the man.

You got it?

Come on. Let's go.

[coughing]

[alarm blaring ]

Emergency!

We must evacuate

to escape pod two.

One has been compromised.

Only three of us can fit

in the escape pod.

We must pick straws.

Shortest straws stay behind.

Moment of truth.

I don't know, but it's been said

I don't know,

but it's been said

Saturn Five is above our head

Saturn Five

is above our head

I don't know, but I been told

I don't know,

but I been told

Space Warriors are made of gold

Space Warriors

are made of gold

Carry on, Warriors.

Titans, what are

the three keys to victory?

Decision, domination, destruction.

That's what I want to hear!

Let's go.

One!

- Can you just get asthma?

- Two!

Come on, guys.

We gotta keep going.

Oh, why?!

I didn't say we had to go fast.

["Charlie Brown"

by Coldplay playing ]

Stole a key

And took a car downtown

Where the lost boys meet

Took a car downtown

And took what they offered me

Ooh, ooh I'

All the boys, all the girls

All that matters in the world

All the highs, all the lows

As the room a-spinning goes

- We'll run riot

- [cheering ]

- We'll be glowing

- Better.

In the dark

In my country, engineers,

these are the people

who are building a new China.

We are the heroes.

We are what kids in China

want to be.

And in America?

Kids want to be Kobe Bryant

and Brad Pitt.

I mean, in China,

we think those are your heroes.

Although, secretly,

I want to be Jeremy Lin.

You'd be a fool not to.

That kid's right.

We used to have

those heroes 40 years ago,

biggest heroes in the world--

John Glenn, Neil Armstrong.

- Bigger than the president.

- [cellphone beeps]

Well, not every kid can be

an astronaut, but--

Hold on, Dad.

I got another call.

O-Okay.

Hi, Mom. How are you?

Good, sweetheart.

What are you doing?

Lying. I mean frying.

Uh, we--we caught fish.

Okay, that sounds good.

Can I talk to your dad, please?

He's down by the river.

Unfortunately he is so busy,

and he really can't talk,

but it's raining fish.

He needs a bigger net.

Gotta go. Love you. Bye.

Love you, too.

- Jimmy.

- Break's over.

I gotta go back...to work.

Bye.

Okay. Bye, son.

[ Groans ]

Nice.

That's the way it's handled.

Yeah. Whoo!

We can do it today.

We can do it.

[yelling]

- Oh, dear.

- Whoo hoo!

Whoo! Whoa ho!

Whoo!

[ "93 Million Miles"

by Jason Mraz playing ]

[whooping 1

93 million miles...

I don't understand.

How did you--

I promised to cook for you, didn't I?

Here it comes

It's a light, a beautiful light

Over the horizon, into our eyes

Oh, my, my, how beautiful

Oh, my beautiful mother, she...

I know it's not fancy, but--

Are you kidding?

Gonna go far

If you do it right

You'll love where you are

Lasagna's my favorite.

Just know I'

Wherever you go

You can always...

Moon pies and marshmallows.

What could be better than this?

All of my life, I've had the best

that money could buy,

but really I'm just a simple girl

and no one has ever done

anything like this for me before.

A glorious night

Over the horizon...

I want to be the first person

to ever touch a star.

Last year, astronomers discovered

a Y dwarf star that's only 80 degrees,

cooler than the human body.

Trillions of galaxies out there,

and you'd settle for a star.

What can I say?

I'm a "see the trees through

the forest" kind of girl.

Will you read me the poem

from your essay?

The poem is by

John Gillespie Magee,

a pilot in World War ll.

"Up, up the long,

delirious, burning blue,

"I've topped the wind-swept

heights with easy grace.

"Where never lark,

or ever eagle flew--

"And, while with silent,

lifting mind

"I've trod the high untrespassed

sanctity of space,

"put out my hand,

and touched

the face of God."

Something wrong?

My father lived that.

Thank you.

[cellphone rings]

Shh.

[ring]

Hi, Mom.

No, it's going great.

I caught a six-pound bass

this morning.

Dad's still waiting

for more. Shh.

[ Chuckles ]

What, you want to talk to him?

Next time, then.

Good night.

[laughs]

They don't know where I am.

They each think

I'm with the other one.

You know,

I kind of figured that out.

I mean, I'm here,

but I feel bad about

having to lie to them.

Now you have

to tell me a secret.

I lied on my application.

You?

[laughs]

I'm not 15 until tomorrow.

Two desperate criminals.

Who'll we do if they catch us?

Run away and join the circus.

Soyuz escape pod

is go for separation.

[ Speaking Russian ]

This is a stage-one alert

for all staff of Houston Control.

Due to deteriorating

weather conditions,

communication with the International

Space Station is in jeopardy.

Activate backup NASA control location,

Marshall Space Center

in Huntsville, Alabama.

YURI:
Soyuz emergency

escape pod to be jettisoned

in 4, 3, 2, 1.

Okay, this next challenge

is one of my favorites.

It simulates liftoff.

You will launch and return

your precious cargo,

a fragile egg,

without damaging it,

using only cotton balls and tissue

to protect it, all right?

All right, let's see.

I don't wanna let go

- All right.

- All right.

Mission Control,

we are go for launch.

I'll be the Challenger

Of my generation's

Space explorations

I am the Challenger

Warriors, rocket launch.

Let go of this minor key

Makes sense to me...

Titans, rocket launch.

Of knowing what,

knowing what I know

Whoa oh, whoa oh

IOoh

Whoa oh, whoa oh

IOQh... a'

And straight from

the International Space Station,

we have a special guest

eggstronaut.

Here to help with

the eggsamination.

Titans?

Doesn't care
