This is Jerry O'Neill. He's
a structural engineer and designer.
:34:03
Jerry worked on the Stealth project.
You remember that.
:34:06
No nickname for you?
:34:08
Well, you can call me...
:34:10
...anytime.
:34:13
Okay.
:34:16
If you men are ready,
we have some work to do.
:34:19
Would you like a banana, honey?
:34:25
I don't need to remind you of
the consequences of failure here.
:34:29
- Personal consequences.
- That's the problem with you Russians.
:34:33
With you,
the glass is always half empty.
:34:40
These men you are sending up,
they're not astronauts.
:34:45
The last time they trained for a space
mission, cars had fins on them.
:34:51
The truth is Frank Corvin's
not going anywhere.
:34:54
His team's not gonna pass
the physical trials.
:34:58
This is supposed to reassure me?
:35:03
What will you do then?
:35:06
My best young astronaut
is training alongside Corvin...
:35:10
...gaining proficiency
in that antiquated guidance system.
:35:14
Until he does, Frank Corvin's
gonna believe he's going up.
:35:21
I don't know.
:35:23
- We should consult...
- There will be no goddamn consulting.
:35:28
No one, and I mean no one,
is to be in the loop...
:35:32
...on our little problem.
:35:35
Do I make myself perfectly clear,
general?
:35:43
Good morning, all.
:35:44
And welcome to STS-200 ops
overview briefing.
:35:48
This is an unusual mission,
I think we'd all agree.
:35:51
We'll get started
on the particulars here in a moment.
:35:54
First, let's welcome the astronauts
selected for this mission:
:35:58
The founding members
of Project Daedalus.
