:11:01
and return the crew safely to Earth
within three days.
:11:05
- Liftoff.
- Sir!
:11:09
Forty percent.
:11:11
Aquarius, you're looking good.
:11:13
Auto shutdown.
You're looking at 1685 now.
:11:19
You're go in the residuals.
No trim required.
:11:24
No trim. Is that right?
:11:27
That's affirmative.
No trim required.
:11:36
Listen, I know we scheduled
that interview with Jane tomorrow...
:11:39
but we'll have to postpone.
:11:41
- I totally understand.
- I'll make it up to you.
:11:44
When this thing is all over,
you'll get the first exclusive.
:11:47
- That's great. I appreciate that.
- Sure.
:11:49
- Can we talk about the press pool?
- Emmett, don't start that.
:11:53
We understand that you need
to bring these men home.
:11:56
We don't want to compromise that,
but we're in the dark.
:11:59
You want pool reports
from the control center?
:12:01
Mission Control's across the courtyard
100 yards from here...
:12:05
where we aren't allowed to be.
:12:07
Unless we know what you know when you
know it, we'll start getting paranoid.
:12:11
We'll have a press pool of two...
:12:12
one print, one broadcast,
rotated every two hours...
:12:15
in the visitors' gallery where they can
monitor the flight director's loop.
:12:19
We hear everything he hears...
:12:20
but no taping or broadcast of
the flight controller's communications.
:12:24
Damn it, Hal. You know
it's the right thing to do.
:12:27
- What about the families?
- I'm sorry?
:12:29
Will NASA make the families available
for interviews...
:12:32
or comments
as the situation unfolds?
:12:38
Brett, these individuals
are private citizens.
:12:42
Oh, please. "Private citizens"?
:12:43
For the last ten years
these private citizens...
:12:46
have availed themselves of free clothes,
free cars and junkets.
:12:50
NASA paraded them around
like prized poodles.
:12:52
Now when the going gets tough,
the tough issue a quarantine?
:12:56
Uh-huh.
:12:59
Interview the families
when the loved ones are safely home.
