You could say

plants are better adapted

111

00:
06:43,819 -- 00:06:45,287

to space travel

than we are.

112

00:
06:46,220 -- 00:06:48,827

They don't need soil

or any of the nutrients it provides.

113

00:
06:49,354 -- 00:06:51,221

They don't care if their light

comes from the Sun

114

00:
06:51,188 -- 00:06:52,440

or an L.E.D lamp.

115

00:
06:53,841 -- 00:06:55,729

They don't get lonely.

116

00:
06:55,956 -- 00:06:57,698

iI'll see what's going on

with the O2./i

117

00:
06:57,957 -- 00:06:59,875

iThe comm array's

our big worry right now,/i

118

00:
06:59,910 -- 00:07:01,492

ibut I'm also fond

of breathing./i

119

00:
07:01,559 -- 00:07:02,694

iDon't worry.

I'll look into it./i

120

00:
07:02,729 -- 00:07:03,959

iHey, I left some greens

over there./i

121

00:
07:04,026 -- 00:07:05,193

iDo you mind taking them

to the guys?/i

122

00:
07:05,261 -- 00:07:05,790

iFine./i

123

00:
07:06,928 -- 00:07:07,609

[scoffs]

124

00:
07:08,261 -- 00:07:09,628

iRika,

what the hell?/i

125

00:
07:11,330 -- 00:07:13,135

What?

They're not mine.

126

00:
07:13,169 -- 00:07:14,324

Someone must've lost them.

127

00:
07:15,028 -- 00:07:15,800

Someone, huh?

128

00:
07:15,850 -- 00:07:18,938

[SONG:
Desolation

ARTIST:
Jah Wobble]

129

00:
07:29,097 -- 00:07:32,679

Desolation

130

00:
07:33,000 -- 00:07:36,200

Seems to be the state

of the nation

131

00:
07:36,268 -- 00:07:39,082

Desolation

132

00:
07:39,803 -- 00:07:42,568

Everyone in isolation

133

00:
07:42,636 -- 00:07:45,071

is the way

it seems to be

134

00:
07:45,139 -- 00:07:47,238

to me

135

00:
07:47,305 -- 00:07:49,859

Spiritual valley

136

00:
07:50,707 -- 00:07:52,794

- Desolation

- Hey, Commander.

137

00:
07:53,241 -- 00:07:54,341

Hey, how's it going?

138

00:
07:54,408 -- 00:07:55,470

Alice, Kenji.

139

00:
07:55,942 -- 00:07:58,008

We're almost finished realigning

the containment field

140

00:
07:58,076 -- 00:07:59,108

of the fusion generator.

141

00:
07:59,176 -- 00:08:00,409

Great.

142

00:
08:00,817 -- 00:08:02,547

You might want to review

the mission rules

143

00:
08:02,582 -- 00:08:04,879

about picking up

after yourselves.

144

00:
08:05,378 -- 00:08:07,379

Someone left this

in the greenhouse last night.

145

00:
08:16,748 -- 00:08:18,044

iYes, sir./i

146

00:
08:18,885 -- 00:08:21,017

iAll your fault./i

147

00:
08:21,086 -- 00:08:22,536

I think

we're pretty lucky.

148

00:
08:23,720 -- 00:08:25,521

Nothing like

a ten-year adventure

149

00:
08:25,556 -- 00:08:27,322

to add a little romance,

right?

150

00:
08:27,357 -- 00:08:30,156

Especially with go/no go

just a few days away.

151

00:
08:30,222 -- 00:08:31,890

I mean, it's all

come down to this.

152

00:
08:31,956 -- 00:08:34,831

All the planning,

all the training.

153

00:
08:34,866 -- 00:08:36,691

One last chance

to take the plunge

154

00:
08:36,759 -- 00:08:38,091

or pull the plug.

155

00:
08:38,159 -- 00:08:40,460

One last chance

to mix our metaphors.

156

00:
08:40,528 -- 00:08:41,283

Hey.

157

00:
08:42,162 -- 00:08:44,626

[upbeat quirky music]

158

00:
08:53,765 -- 00:08:54,870

That smells good.

159

00:
08:58,134 -- 00:09:00,101

- Commander.

- Fresh from Rika's garden.

160

00:
09:00,169 -- 00:09:01,935

- He's got...

- I--I'll make the salad.

161

00:
09:02,003 -- 00:09:03,073

Well, that looks good.

162

00:
09:05,104 -- 00:09:06,366

It needs

a little something?

163

00:
09:07,604 -- 00:09:08,848

It's a little salty.

164

00:
09:09,338 -- 00:09:10,054

Mmm.

165

00:
09:10,707 -- 00:09:13,240

It's a bit salty, yes.

Like I tell you--

166

00:
09:13,308 -- 00:09:15,240

Yes, the Commander--

A direct order.

167

00:
09:15,308 -- 00:09:16,057

- You know what? No, no, no.

- Direct order.

168

00:
09:16,058 -- 00:09:17,942

It needs salt.

You know, get this.

169

00:
09:17,977 -- 00:09:19,177

Would you like a little salt

on yours?

170

00:
09:19,212 -- 00:09:19,996

How about that, huh?

171

00:
09:20,011 -- 00:09:22,111

Enough, enough, enough!

Enough with the salt!

172

00:
09:22,146 -- 00:09:24,277

I don't know why--

You're not the head chef here!

173

00:
09:24,344 -- 00:09:26,011

When I--When I was a kid,

174

00:
09:26,078 -- 00:09:27,745

there was these--

Well, these rocks

175

00:
09:27,812 -- 00:09:29,357

that we used

to dive off of.

176

00:
09:29,380 -- 00:09:31,280

Once, we dared each other

to do it at night.

177

00:
09:32,415 -- 00:09:35,544

You couldn't even see

the water.

178

00:
09:36,049 -- 00:09:38,633

You just had to keep telling

yourself that it was there.

179

00:
09:40,051 -- 00:09:42,014

- Leap of faith.

- Yeah.

180

00:
09:42,418 -- 00:09:46,320

Faith that what we hope is out

is out there

181

00:
09:46,387 -- 00:09:48,654

and that it can turn things

around for all of us.

182

00:
09:54,457 -- 00:09:55,649

Why am I going?

183

00:
09:57,058 -- 00:09:58,067

[laughs]

184

00:
09:58,592 -- 00:10:00,258

You're asking me

this now?

185

00:
10:02,427 -- 00:10:08,358

I'm--I'm not here

to give the old party line

186

00:
10:08,394 -- 00:10:10,653

to the b*obs back home.

187

00:
10:10,691 -- 00:10:11,543

Sorry.

188

00:
10:12,425 -- 00:10:14,151

That would be your problem.

189

00:
10:15,360 -- 00:10:17,237

I have problems

of my own.

190

00:
10:20,995 -- 00:10:22,028

Dr. J.

191

00:
10:22,095 -- 00:10:24,381

iEl Jefe!/i

192

00:
10:24,564 -- 00:10:26,134

(How are the kids?)

193

00:
10:26,865 -- 00:10:30,598

Listo para hacer un grande boom!

(Ready to make a big boom!)

194

00:
10:30,666 -- 00:10:32,156

[scrambled speech]

195

00:
10:32,533 -- 00:10:35,434

iListo para hacer un gran--/i

iSo as we prepare to slingshot

197

00:
10:45,773 -- 00:10:46,692

As we prepare

198

00:
10:46,727 -- 00:10:49,299

to slingshot around

the iridescent planet of Neptune,

199

00:
10:49,536 -- 00:10:54,287

slinging...

slingshotting around the...

200

00:
10:54,472 -- 00:10:56,307

Sure. I mean, sure,

I'm nervous.

201

00:
10:56,342 -- 00:10:58,439

[laughs]

202

00:
10:58,507 -- 00:11:01,774

I get nervous every time we make

a course adjustment.

203

00:
11:01,841 -- 00:11:02,747

[laughs]

204

00:
11:03,375 -- 00:11:06,540

Yeah. And now, with go/no go,

I mean,

205

00:
11:07,177 -- 00:11:09,238

I guess we're all

a little freaked out.

206

11:09,445 -- 00:11:13,246

As Phaeton approaches

our final go/no go point,

around Neptune can send us home/i
