:37:01
...using the shuttle's grappling arm.
:37:03
You will then have a 42-hour window...
:37:06
...in which to repair
her guidance system.
:37:09
From there she'll be reconfigured
by Mission Control.
:37:12
After that, you'll shoot
her back into geosync orbit...
:37:15
...using the payload assist
module rockets.
:37:21
Any questions?
:37:23
Question.
:37:25
With all due respect to the guys,
why don't we just capture the bird...
:37:30
...bring it home with a crew
trained in satellite retrieval?
:37:33
It's too big, Gene.
:37:36
Too big?
:37:39
For the space shuttle?
:37:45
How did you guys get it up there
in the first place?
:37:49
There were modifications
post-deployment.
:37:53
Listen up, people.
:37:56
This system has to be fixed on-site.
:37:59
Frank is the only engineer...
:38:01
...proficient in
such obsolete technology.
:38:06
Given the short amount of time...
:38:08
...he's the only engineer
to do the job.
:38:14
So Frank Corvin's band of...
:38:17
...Leisure World aviators
are going into space.
:38:20
NASA agree to all this?
Did the Russians?
:38:23
- Frank didn't give us a lot of choice.
- I figured that.
:38:26
You hate each other way too much
to have cooked this up together.
:38:31
Count me out.
:38:33
I think you guys
need to get a new flight director.
:38:36
You know, one thing
is driving me nuts, though.
:38:40
How did a guidance system from Skylab
end up in a Russian bird?
:38:46
I don't know, Gene, but apparently
I'm the man who can fix it.
:38:51
Grow up, will you, Frank?
Can't you be a team player for once?
:38:56
Why can't you assist my astronauts
as an engineer?
:38:59
If I wasn't 100% sure that my guys
could do as well as your astronauts...
