:10:02
Couldn't we just
transfer the workload?
:10:05
Gene. Excuse me, Sara.
:10:08
We have a presidential mandate
to assist the Russians...
:10:12
...our partners in
the International Space Station.
:10:15
And I assure you
that we will fix this problem.
:10:19
It's just a glitch.
:10:21
You are feeding these guys
bold-faced lies.
:10:24
It's a waste of money
and my staff's time.
:10:26
Sara, you're one hell
of an engineer...
:10:29
...but you don't know jack-shit
about politics.
:10:32
Helping the Russians save face
is an act of good faith.
:10:34
How can you put a price on that?
:10:43
This thing is dumb as a post.
It's dead in the air.
:10:46
Kid, why don't you stop trying
to talk to the satellite?
:10:49
You have the code.
Override the guidance system.
:10:52
You want to figure that mess out?
:10:55
The guidance system on this thing
is a dinosaur.
:10:57
Even these guys don't understand it.
:11:00
It's pre-microprocessor.
It's pre-everything.
:11:02
Whoever designed this
Byzantine piece of shit...
:11:05
...is probably chopping rocks
in Siberia.
:11:07
Ethan, can I access the Skylab files
from here?
:11:11
What does that have
to do with anything?
:11:15
A fine politician, but you don't
know jack-shit about engineering.
:11:19
This is the guidance system
from Skylab.
:11:23
That's not possible.
:11:25
Maybe there's similarities,
but they can't be the same.
:11:30
I'm looking up the designer.
:11:33
Hell. Don't bother.
:11:37
It was Francis D. Corvin.
:11:40
Is he dead?
:11:43
Only if I'm lucky.
:11:50
Would you like me to read
the instructions to you again?
:11:56
Let me tell you something, my dear.
:11:59
A fella in Japan wrote those
instructions when he made this thing.
