Today, let us just say to our brave countrymen, thank you for taking us with

into space, because in that moment, we could see our own future, or at least

glimpse the shape of its opening moments, because there's so much more to

What history has recorded today is simply the greatest of beginnings, the

opening overture of a symphony in space.

Those were the remarks President Reagan made 25 years ago when the first ships

were starry -eyed youngsters and Overture was sparkling new.

Time has changed the ship and the people on board, and we'll be there to show

you everything.

As Second Ship Commander Gardner takes over, you'll see all their most intimate

moments. Welcome to personal space.

So, from all of us here on Generation Ship Overture, thank you.

Everyone on Earth can rest assured the second shift will take your voices to

stars.

Amy, stop recording.

Thanks. Of course, Gail.

Can we do my therapy session now?

I'm here.

Might as well get it out of the way.

I'm not here for a session, Amy.

Just to install your update.

My brother.

You're due for a final psyche report before you go back into cryo, like the

of you.

Final psyche, Val. What's broken, Amy?

Well, I haven't faced it.

Gardner.

Gardner.

Tell me about Gail.

Ah, you think you can get me going, Amy?

She's your replacement as commander. I must get to know her.

Fine.

She doesn't know the ship, and she's not learning.

I have so much to learn from him.

It's a hassle to teach her to do something.

Better to do it myself.

My only complaint is that he didn't prep the telescope for my research.

But I know from the log he had bigger problems.

First thing she does when she wakes up, asks for the logs. And she's hounding me

with questions, judging me about the thing that happened with the captain.

He woke the captain.

Who? That's what the protocol's called for. And just ten years into my shift,

there's a red light on the flywheel.

Captain starts spitting spittle.

He stopped just short of accusing the Soviets of sabotage, even though there

no more Soviets.

They tell us the Cold War's over.

Well, Captain Labar's still fighting.

This time, King was the only casualty.

I shouldn't be surprised.

First thing the captain did when he woke up, he overrode you, Amy.

And eavesdropped on my private therapy sessions.

Captain didn't trust me.

And neither does Gail.

But I am looking forward to this being my ship.

I'm ready for him to go into cry on a few days.

I'm sorry.

I'm not being fair to her.

But I'm frustrated.

And I know how the captain would react if I woke him up now to tell him about

the new problem I found out.

I'd tell Gardner, but, uh...

Don't be so hard on yourself, Robert.

It's okay to admit you wish you had more time in command.

I'm out of time.

She is a commander now.

Do you feel Gail's ready to deal with what's coming?

I know she's not.

Not yet.

I should stay awake a little longer.

Just a little bit longer.

What a bombshell! Commander King is going to be staying awake longer than

supposed to.

Trevor, do you think that's going to lead to tension between him and

Gardner? I don't know. I think Gardner just wants to look for Oort cloud

with their scope, which I think is pretty cool.

As you've probably guessed, we here at Acteon bought Overture and its mission

control from the space program.

We think we can do a better job of fulfilling the mission and telling the

stories of the people involved.

We are proud to announce that Personal Space is the very first reality show

entirely in space.

This wouldn't be possible without the greatest team of scientists and

storytellers on Earth. I wanted you to meet one of them. Kelly, Shrek, and Gus.

Hi, guys.

Kelly, Kelly Schreckengast is the head of our Deep Space Network Relay

Department. If you have any questions about the science of the mission, you

reach her on our Twitter, at Acteon Ent.

Do you want me to say anything? Let's answer some fan questions.

At E .F. Smith asks, why is King such a grouch? Ooh, good question.

I just think he's super tired of things going wrong.

Yeah. Okay, one more question for today.

Buzz asks, Do you have their permission to broadcast?

Well, when they first launched, they did send away the rights to all their

images for promotional reasons.

Next question.

At JDC99 says, can't wait to meet the rest of the crew. Who do you think will

the first to hook up on the show?

Oh, do you want me to answer that? Yeah. Oh, well, I think it's going to be

Gardner and her right -hand man.

Freeman?

I don't know.

Right hand.

Oh, it was a joke.

Yeah.

Yes, it was a joke. Well, that's all for now.
