if she's ever coming back,

1069

No way of knowing,

No way of knowing,

if she's right

or if she's wrong,

1073

iOh, I'm ready

00:
52:12,097 -- 00:52:13,856

I'm sure you're not

gonna disappoint me.

1100

00:
52:13,864 -- 00:52:15,905

iOh, it's

my top priority, Rog./i

1101

00:
52:16,331 -- 00:52:16,805

Sue?

1102

00:
52:16,844 -- 00:52:18,294

1106

00:
52:25,102 -- 00:52:26,647

You hear back

from mission control

1107

00:
52:26,677 -- 00:52:28,180

about Meyer

and our go-about?

1108

00:
52:28,537 -- 00:52:29,175

No.

1109

00:
52:29,803 -- 00:52:31,105

Of course,

I didn't send the message

1110

00:
52:31,140 -- 00:52:33,038

until about

ten minutes ago,

1111

00:
52:33,106 -- 00:52:35,971

which they won't get

for another 90 minutes.

1112

00:
52:36,039 -- 00:52:37,174

So we're looking at...

1113

00:
52:37,442 -- 00:52:40,373

probably another two hours

for a response.

1114

00:
52:40,440 -- 00:52:42,297

Well, I guess they'll just have

to grin and bear it.

1115

00:
52:42,408 -- 00:52:43,732

Well, I guess so.

1116

00:
52:44,475 -- 00:52:45,817

This is the flight deck.

1117

00:
52:46,173 -- 00:52:47,439

Initiating D-spin.

1118

00:
52:57,881 -- 00:53:00,484

Distance now

at 100,000 klicks.

1119

00:
53:01,016 -- 00:53:02,843

Speed increasing

to 30 klicks a second.

1120

00:
53:02,878 -- 00:53:04,118

Nav, how's our aim?

1121

00:
53:04,153 -- 00:53:06,245

We're three milliard seconds

off the "B" plane.

1122

00:
53:06,280 -- 00:53:08,545

RCS thrusters auto-firing

to compensate.

1123

00:
53:09,920 -- 00:53:11,453

Back in the pipe,

five by five,

1124

00:
53:11,520 -- 00:53:12,631

ready for slingshot.

1125

00:
53:12,666 -- 00:53:13,493

Initiating.

1126

00:
53:18,091 -- 00:53:20,948

I'm alive,

1127

00:
53:21,057 -- 00:53:22,952

I'm alone,

1128

00:
53:23,020 -- 00:53:26,554

and I've never wanted

to be

1129

00:
53:26,621 -- 00:53:29,057

either of those,

1130

00:
53:31,189 -- 00:53:34,464

We are not gonna want

for ratings this week.

1131

00:
53:35,658 -- 00:53:36,720

[chuckles]

1132

00:
53:37,092 -- 00:53:38,391

It's amazing.

1133

00:
53:38,860 -- 00:53:42,464

iJust a-amazing stuff

I'm getting here, guys, amazing./i

1134

00:
53:42,561 -- 00:53:43,716

I'm happy for you, Rog,

1135

00:
53:43,751 -- 00:53:45,978

but we're a little busy

right now.

1136

00:
53:46,014 -- 00:53:46,894

Nav, status?

1137

00:
53:46,962 -- 00:53:47,776

Perfect burn.

1138

00:
53:49,264 -- 00:53:50,454

Slingshot complete.

1139

00:
53:52,499 -- 00:53:55,432

And she shines,

1140

00:
53:55,666 -- 00:53:59,202

And she shines for me,

1141

00:
54:50,813 -- 00:54:51,877

[beeping]

1142

00:
54:59,789 -- 00:55:00,370

[sighs]

1143

00:
55:00,791 -- 00:55:02,277

Jimmy, your show.

1144

00:
55:09,893 -- 00:55:11,594

I hope no one

had a big lunch,

1145

00:
55:11,629 -- 00:55:15,150

because the ride

is about to get...

1146

00:
55:17,169 -- 00:55:18,152

bumpy.

1147

00:
55:26,068 -- 00:55:29,466

Deploying first charge.

1148

00:
55:45,441 -- 00:55:48,454

On course. Speed:

19.2 million meters per second.

1149

00:
55:48,489 -- 00:55:50,253

Roughly 1/15 flight speed.

1150

00:
55:53,678 -- 00:55:56,196

One down, 182 to go.

1151

00:
55:56,231 -- 00:55:57,131

Ready for another?

1152

00:
55:58,217 -- 00:55:58,967

Hit me.
