1
00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:32,651
"Gillespie, California, 1961."

2
00:00:32,734 --> 00:00:35,153
- Other than the rebound ignition, how was it? - Very cool, Merv.

3
00:00:36,196 --> 00:00:38,782
It's not an X-15, but it handles great.

4
00:00:38,865 --> 00:00:41,618
- Yes, it's excellent. - Hello, Chad, you bastard.

5
00:00:41,701 --> 00:00:43,787
They let anyone land a plane in this damned town.

6
00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:45,997
Yes. I see the Navy is still handing out wings like candy.

7
00:00:46,915 --> 00:00:48,083
- Sorry. - Excuse me.

8
00:00:48,166 --> 00:00:50,001
- No... It was my fault. - Sorry.

9
00:00:51,753 --> 00:00:52,796
Hello.

10
00:00:53,797 --> 00:00:56,383
- Weren't you... - Tumbler's bar. Friday night.

11
00:00:56,466 --> 00:00:57,926
I was with your girlfriend.

12
00:00:58,009 --> 00:01:00,554
- She likes to dance, right? - Yes, she likes to have fun.

13
00:01:00,637 --> 00:01:02,305
- There's nothing wrong with that. - Right.

14
00:01:02,806 --> 00:01:04,683
-So what are you doing here?-So what are you doing here?

15
00:01:06,351 --> 00:01:08,311
- You first. - I was just...

16
00:01:08,395 --> 00:01:10,897
What is a beautiful girl like you doing in this remote place?

17
00:01:11,690 --> 00:01:14,359
- Is your friend a pilot or something? - No.

18
00:01:15,068 --> 00:01:17,279
I came here alone.

19
00:01:17,362 --> 00:01:18,905
I've always wanted to learn to fly.

20
00:01:19,364 --> 00:01:20,782
For your sake.

21
00:01:20,866 --> 00:01:22,576
What? Can't beautiful women become pilots?

22
00:01:22,659 --> 00:01:26,037
Maybe they could, but I've never met anyone who wanted to.

23
00:01:26,121 --> 00:01:27,372
Now you're done.

24
00:01:29,291 --> 00:01:32,210
I have always wanted to learn to fly, since childhood.

25
00:01:36,673 --> 00:01:39,968
Tell me, do you know any teachers?

26
00:01:40,510 --> 00:01:42,762
Can anyone teach a girl her first lesson?

27
00:01:49,853 --> 00:01:52,272
I'll fly it low for you.

28
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:55,942
I did well.

29
00:01:58,111 --> 00:01:59,571
Best seat in the place.

30
00:01:59,654 --> 00:02:00,906
I never get tired of the view.

31
00:02:07,203 --> 00:02:09,122
Will you let me drive it? now?

32
00:02:09,206 --> 00:02:10,624
You have to start sooner or later.

33
00:02:10,707 --> 00:02:12,417
Don't worry about anything, okay?

34
00:02:12,501 --> 00:02:13,960
I'm here with you.

35
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:17,047
Push.

36
00:02:18,465 --> 00:02:19,925
And the houses grow.

37
00:02:22,093 --> 00:02:23,345
Pull.

38
00:02:25,972 --> 00:02:27,516
And the houses get smaller.

39
00:02:28,141 --> 00:02:29,851
Let's forget it.

40
00:02:31,353 --> 00:02:32,854
thus.

41
00:02:34,856 --> 00:02:36,274
Okay, your turn.

42
00:02:38,193 --> 00:02:39,569
Okay, I'll give it a try.

43
00:02:41,196 --> 00:02:43,615
Backwards, the houses get smaller.

44
00:02:48,537 --> 00:02:51,206
Well, you see how you lose speed?

45
00:02:51,289 --> 00:02:52,499
Yes.

46
00:02:52,582 --> 00:02:53,959
Okay, push down.

47
00:02:56,586 --> 00:02:59,464
Press the handlebar. We'll increase the speed a little bit.

48
00:02:59,548 --> 00:03:01,883
- Is this what is called a collapse? - This is it.

49
00:03:01,967 --> 00:03:04,928
Down, baby...hold the wheel.

50
00:03:05,011 --> 00:03:06,555
What do you do?

51
00:03:23,238 --> 00:03:25,824
Did you do it well, sir, Navy aviator?

52
00:03:30,787 --> 00:03:33,165
Fuck.

53
00:03:36,585 --> 00:03:37,961
Repeat.

54
00:03:52,517 --> 00:03:54,978
"FAA Flight Planner"

55
00:03:55,061 --> 00:03:56,938
How long have you been flying planes?

56
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,192
725 hours, if someone is counting.

57
00:04:00,775 --> 00:04:03,361
Wow, you really fooled me.

58
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:08,325
Why all... why not...?

59
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:21,838
"Nixon's women"

60
00:05:32,117 --> 00:05:33,160
"Special Report"

61
00:05:33,243 --> 00:05:35,203
Americans from across the political spectrum wonder:

62
00:05:35,287 --> 00:05:38,915
“Are American women lagging behind their counterparts in the Soviet Union?”

63
00:05:38,999 --> 00:05:43,086
This comes after astronaut Anastasia Belikova landed on the moon.

64
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:46,381
It quickly gained wide fame around the world.

65
00:05:46,464 --> 00:05:50,510
The photo was taken of her on the surface of the moon, smiling in pure happiness

66
00:05:50,594 --> 00:05:53,555
It has become an iconic image that graces the front pages

67
00:05:53,638 --> 00:05:55,807
For magazines and newspapers around the world.

68
00:05:55,891 --> 00:05:58,518
Belikova was compared to "Rosie the Riveter."

69
00:05:58,602 --> 00:06:00,812
Which was until now a uniquely American image

70
00:06:00,896 --> 00:06:03,899
Symbolizing feminine power in the 1940s.

71
00:06:03,982 --> 00:06:07,402
The latest Soviet successes have cast doubt on NASA's priorities.

72
00:06:07,485 --> 00:06:08,945
While the rest of the world celebrates

73
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:11,907
This amazing moment in women's history.

74
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:17,162
We were converting the third stage of the Saturn V rocket into an orbital workshop.

75
00:06:18,038 --> 00:06:20,165
Von Brunn called it Skylab.

76
00:06:20,248 --> 00:06:22,918
Construction has already begun in Huntsville.

77
00:06:23,001 --> 00:06:27,214
But there is still time to change the course of the conversion process.

78
00:06:28,173 --> 00:06:32,969
We are currently considering dismantling what was to become Skylab.

79
00:06:33,053 --> 00:06:36,223
And we lighten the load until we have a launchable residential vehicle

80
00:06:36,306 --> 00:06:39,476
For our always-staffed lunar base, Moon Lab.

81
00:06:39,559 --> 00:06:42,729
How many military personnel can you fit inside that thing?

82
00:06:42,812 --> 00:06:44,189
Doesn't look like much.

83
00:06:44,773 --> 00:06:48,151
It will be equipped with 3 astronauts at a time during the early stages

84
00:06:48,235 --> 00:06:49,736
Until its revision is completed,

85
00:06:49,819 --> 00:06:54,115
Then there will be other expansions that accommodate the military aspects.

86
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:58,537
What exactly are the Pentagon's plans in this regard?

87
00:07:00,997 --> 00:07:03,124
When will this Moon Lab be ready?

88
00:07:04,334 --> 00:07:05,627
After almost two years.

89
00:07:06,419 --> 00:07:07,420
Wow.

90
00:07:09,089 --> 00:07:11,925
You know, first we have to find a place to land.

91
00:07:12,008 --> 00:07:13,009
Yes.

92
00:07:13,093 --> 00:07:16,012
Apollo 13, 14 and 15 are being reassigned

93
00:07:16,096 --> 00:07:18,974
To scout potential locations for the base.

94
00:07:19,057 --> 00:07:21,309
Then we have to analyze those results.

95
00:07:21,393 --> 00:07:25,730
We study geology, conduct circulation studies, resource budgeting, and system analysis.

96
00:07:25,814 --> 00:07:27,899
We will change the plan, gentlemen.

97
00:07:27,983 --> 00:07:29,526
I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

98
00:07:29,609 --> 00:07:31,653
I wasn't going to come back, but the president surprised me.

99
00:07:31,736 --> 00:07:33,572
I thought I would return as soon as possible.

100
00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:36,950
Could you give us a minute, General?

101
00:07:46,042 --> 00:07:48,003
Well, that's not promising.

102
00:07:48,086 --> 00:07:50,130
Not if Shorty Powers was involved.

103
00:07:50,589 --> 00:07:52,174
People misunderstand me a lot.

104
00:07:52,257 --> 00:07:54,467
The president feels there is national importance

105
00:07:54,551 --> 00:07:56,011
To match the "America" of the Soviets

106
00:07:56,094 --> 00:07:59,055
In their great achievement of landing a woman on the moon.

107
00:07:59,139 --> 00:08:01,349
You mean that his popularity has decreased among women?

108
00:08:03,602 --> 00:08:06,188
That's why Nixon wants us to put a woman on the moon.

109
00:08:07,147 --> 00:08:09,566
- Preferably blonde. - You must be kidding.

110
00:08:09,649 --> 00:08:11,401
- What about “Mon Lab”? - What about what?

111
00:08:11,484 --> 00:08:12,777
Our lunar base.

112
00:08:12,861 --> 00:08:14,446
That's a terrible name.

113
00:08:14,529 --> 00:08:16,865
This is nonsense, Tom.

114
00:08:16,948 --> 00:08:20,452
We're on our way to defeating the Soviets for change. We can't...

115
00:08:20,535 --> 00:08:22,996
Establishing a base on the moon remains our top priority.

116
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:25,624
But our priority is also to put the first female astronaut on the moon.

117
00:08:25,707 --> 00:08:29,127
Both are top priorities.Two common top priorities.

118
00:08:30,462 --> 00:08:33,924
Did anyone tell the president we don't have female astronauts?

119
00:08:34,007 --> 00:08:35,217
I think he is aware of that.

120
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:38,053
Every newspaper, magazine, talk show and news program

121
00:08:38,136 --> 00:08:40,180
They point this out daily.

122
00:08:40,262 --> 00:08:43,767
We can't put any woman on the moon. She has to be an astronaut.

123
00:08:43,850 --> 00:08:47,062
There are procedures, training and tests.

124
00:08:47,145 --> 00:08:48,730
And I can't train just one woman.

125
00:08:48,813 --> 00:08:52,150
I'll need at least 20 candidates to find one that's acceptable.

126
00:08:52,234 --> 00:08:53,944
By God, Dick.

127
00:08:54,027 --> 00:08:56,905
This is just something to appease feminists and the New York Times.

128
00:08:56,988 --> 00:08:58,782
You don't have to follow the entire procedure.

129
00:08:58,865 --> 00:09:02,035
Just find a good-looking pilot, put her in a spacesuit,

130
00:09:02,118 --> 00:09:04,746
He taught her how to go down the stairs, and took a picture of her.

131
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:10,001
In this program, no one gets on a spacecraft without my permission.

132
00:09:10,627 --> 00:09:13,964
As soon as this situation changes, my resignation will be on your desk.

133
00:09:16,174 --> 00:09:20,178
I don't think any of us, including the president, will enjoy the negative publicity

134
00:09:20,262 --> 00:09:22,305
Which may result from Mr. Slayton's resignation.

135
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:23,473
decent.

136
00:09:23,974 --> 00:09:26,518
Do you want to train 20 women to find one? So please.

137
00:09:36,695 --> 00:09:38,864
The press called them "Mercury 13".

138
00:09:38,947 --> 00:09:40,323
Each of them was an experienced pilot

139
00:09:40,407 --> 00:09:42,993
She has thousands of hours of flying experience.

140
00:09:43,076 --> 00:09:45,996
All of them passed all physical and psychological tests

141
00:09:46,079 --> 00:09:48,832
Which was subjected to the original "Mercury 7" astronauts.

142
00:09:48,915 --> 00:09:52,460
But the program was canceled before they could undergo flight training in Pensacola.

143
00:09:53,170 --> 00:09:54,421
I remember that.

144
00:09:54,504 --> 00:09:56,840
John Glenn hated the whole thing so much.

145
00:09:56,923 --> 00:09:58,258
Glenn doesn't fly anymore.

146
00:09:58,341 --> 00:10:00,552
He is affiliated with the Democratic Movement, so his opinion is not important.

147
00:10:01,761 --> 00:10:04,639
Are any of these ladies still flying? Was this 10 years ago?

148
00:10:04,723 --> 00:10:06,308
Canceled 7 years ago.

149
00:10:06,391 --> 00:10:09,603
Of the 13 female pilots, two of them are still practicing the profession.

150
00:10:09,686 --> 00:10:12,147
As for the rest of them, they stopped because of children, husbands, and so on.

151
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:13,398
Who is left of them?

152
00:10:16,568 --> 00:10:17,903
"Molly Cobb."

153
00:10:17,986 --> 00:10:20,447
set records in long-distance solo flight,

154
00:10:20,530 --> 00:10:23,700
It won several racing awards, and qualified in single-engine and multi-engine aircraft

155
00:10:23,783 --> 00:10:26,077
She was first in her class on Mercury 13.

156
00:10:26,161 --> 00:10:29,080
But it's not what the president is really looking for.

157
00:10:29,789 --> 00:10:31,249
What does that mean?

158
00:10:33,168 --> 00:10:35,086
I mean it has some shortcomings.

159
00:10:36,213 --> 00:10:38,340
We need a Marlo Thomas, not a Danny Thomas.

160
00:10:38,423 --> 00:10:40,759
Damn it, Shorty. This is not a beauty contest.

161
00:10:40,842 --> 00:10:45,055
I assure you, the president would want a more attractive woman

162
00:10:45,138 --> 00:10:46,640
To be the first American "moon girl."

163
00:10:46,723 --> 00:10:48,099
"Moon girl"?

164
00:10:48,183 --> 00:10:50,310
- I'm working on a press release. - Keep working.

165
00:10:50,393 --> 00:10:53,396
Maybe he'll get unlucky and get eliminated against a model.

166
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,773
But now there is...

167
00:11:01,863 --> 00:11:03,281
"Patty Doyle."

168
00:11:03,365 --> 00:11:07,744
The only other member of Mercury 13 who still flies, mostly in helicopters.

169
00:11:07,828 --> 00:11:10,789
She passed the Mercury test with distinction.

170
00:11:10,872 --> 00:11:13,208
She was second in her class after Cobb.

171
00:11:13,291 --> 00:11:14,334
It will do the trick.

172
00:11:24,594 --> 00:11:25,929
"Daniel Paul."

173
00:11:27,931 --> 00:11:31,268
25 years old, holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and science...

174
00:11:31,351 --> 00:11:32,644
Great. We will include it.

175
00:11:32,727 --> 00:11:35,939
Wait. I won't include her just because she's black.

176
00:11:36,022 --> 00:11:37,858
That's exactly why you'll include it.

177
00:11:37,941 --> 00:11:40,443
I don't want any pushiness from Jesse Jackson.

178
00:11:40,527 --> 00:11:44,197
And Ralph Abernathy's return here won't make a fuss with his henchmen.

179
00:11:44,281 --> 00:11:46,241
This time we will avoid any criticism.

180
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:50,453
She has a logbook of 1,500 hours in the air, and has a commercial pilot’s license.

181
00:11:50,537 --> 00:11:53,081
It already works here at NASA.

182
00:11:53,707 --> 00:11:55,959
She works as an engineer with women computers.

183
00:11:56,459 --> 00:11:57,502
See?

184
00:12:01,882 --> 00:12:02,883
Good.

185
00:12:10,599 --> 00:12:13,727
Good, then we found our group.

186
00:12:13,810 --> 00:12:14,936
not yet.

187
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,230
great. What now?

188
00:12:19,107 --> 00:12:20,817
I was just on the phone with Ron Ziegler.

189
00:12:20,901 --> 00:12:21,985
from?

190
00:12:22,694 --> 00:12:25,780
White House Press Secretary: That won't be enough either.

191
00:12:26,281 --> 00:12:28,366
Ziegler mentioned this article from two years ago

192
00:12:28,450 --> 00:12:30,952
He presented it to the president, who thought it was a great idea.

193
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:32,996
See what a great idea?

194
00:12:33,079 --> 00:12:36,082
"Love in the Air - The Flying Stevens Couple"

195
00:12:37,209 --> 00:12:38,502
Gordo will lose his mind.

196
00:12:38,585 --> 00:12:39,920
Be serious, Shorty.

197
00:12:40,003 --> 00:12:41,838
I'm serious. Let's face it.

198
00:12:41,922 --> 00:12:44,508
We have no equal to John Glenn in that group, not even close.

199
00:12:44,591 --> 00:12:47,594
I don't know. Some of them look like their hair is starting to fall out.

200
00:12:49,721 --> 00:12:51,848
Who in this group is the all-American girl?

201
00:12:53,183 --> 00:12:55,435
That people will love and embrace

202
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,062
And they are happy to do so?

203
00:12:57,145 --> 00:13:01,149
John Glenn didn't gain popularity until he became John Glenn.

204
00:13:01,233 --> 00:13:04,528
John Glenn has always been popular. That's why he was chosen for Team Mercury.

205
00:13:04,611 --> 00:13:07,531
If the president wants Tracy Stevens, he'll get Tracy Stevens.

206
00:13:08,698 --> 00:13:10,408
American alien couple.

207
00:13:10,492 --> 00:13:12,244
That's Gordo's wife.

208
00:13:12,953 --> 00:13:15,455
She's a mother, for heaven's sake. How will you do that?

209
00:13:15,539 --> 00:13:16,790
They appointed a nanny for her.

210
00:13:16,873 --> 00:13:18,667
- What if she refuses? - Change her mind.

211
00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:20,794
- What if you fail the test? - Make sure you don't.

212
00:13:20,877 --> 00:13:24,381
I'm the one who picks the crew. I thought that was obvious.

213
00:13:24,464 --> 00:13:27,175
I didn't say put her on a crew. I said don't let her fail.

214
00:13:27,259 --> 00:13:30,637
She can be the mascot if necessary, but she has to be involved.

215
00:13:31,930 --> 00:13:35,684
Do you think Gordo would be satisfied with his wife working at the same place as him?

216
00:13:36,101 --> 00:13:38,770
What would your reaction be if you saw Barbara in the hallway, Tom?

217
00:13:38,854 --> 00:13:40,188
Or "Mary"?

218
00:13:41,273 --> 00:13:44,776
As well as... his reckless behavior.

219
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:47,153
For your sake. We can't do this.

220
00:13:48,488 --> 00:13:50,866
Just give him something he wants in return for his effort.

221
00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:54,327
I don't care what you have to do. Just do it. She has to participate.

222
00:14:25,483 --> 00:14:29,446
I think I should discuss this with Tracy alone

223
00:14:29,529 --> 00:14:32,699
Before we reach any final decision.

224
00:14:32,782 --> 00:14:33,783
Yes.

225
00:14:34,618 --> 00:14:35,744
Excuse me, my dear?

226
00:14:37,078 --> 00:14:38,288
Yes, I accepted.

227
00:14:39,789 --> 00:14:42,042
- Great news. - This is my girl.

228
00:14:42,125 --> 00:14:44,419
Everyone will be very happy to hear that, Tracy.

229
00:14:45,086 --> 00:14:47,339
- Welcome to join us. - I will not disappoint you, Dick.

230
00:14:48,590 --> 00:14:50,217
Don't worry about it, Tracy.

231
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,136
I'll see you at work.

232
00:14:59,518 --> 00:15:00,644
Wow.

233
00:15:01,478 --> 00:15:04,689
Look at yourself. Tracy Stevens, candidate for astronaut position.

234
00:15:04,773 --> 00:15:08,360
This is crazy. Whew.

235
00:15:11,530 --> 00:15:14,115
So you have no objection to this?

236
00:15:14,199 --> 00:15:15,867
certainly. Why should I object?

237
00:15:15,951 --> 00:15:18,495
If you think it's a good idea, I totally agree.

238
00:15:19,955 --> 00:15:23,333
- What did Dick give you? - No, Dick... you know Dick.

239
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,961
He gave you a place.

240
00:15:26,044 --> 00:15:28,255
Crew locations are not distributed randomly.

241
00:15:28,338 --> 00:15:30,590
He is very stubborn in that regard.

242
00:15:30,674 --> 00:15:31,883
I assure you.

243
00:15:31,967 --> 00:15:33,009
he...

244
00:15:33,969 --> 00:15:36,638
- 15. He gave me a place on Apollo 15. - Here's the truth.

245
00:15:36,721 --> 00:15:38,849
This doesn't matter now.

246
00:15:38,932 --> 00:15:40,642
What matters is you.

247
00:15:41,226 --> 00:15:43,436
You will be nominated for the position of astronaut.

248
00:15:44,938 --> 00:15:47,983
no. I won't be an astronaut.

249
00:15:50,735 --> 00:15:55,365
Someday, I'll have one of those badges on my collar like you.

250
00:15:56,741 --> 00:15:58,410
You are very enthusiastic.

251
00:15:59,911 --> 00:16:01,788
I like this. a lot.

252
00:16:03,540 --> 00:16:06,501
We should celebrate with steak at Lamplighter.

253
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,841
No, let's try this new Chinese restaurant. I'll get dressed.

254
00:16:12,924 --> 00:16:14,467
Hey, you look great.

255
00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:16,386
I won't be late.

256
00:16:40,994 --> 00:16:43,205
Although NASA did not reveal the names

257
00:16:43,288 --> 00:16:46,333
Candidates accepted into the program,

258
00:16:46,416 --> 00:16:49,211
We have been informed that one of the ladies

259
00:16:49,294 --> 00:16:53,590
She is the wife of astronaut Gordon Stevens, known as Gordo.

260
00:16:54,257 --> 00:16:58,345
Mrs. Stevens was a pilot herself when she met her future husband.

261
00:16:58,845 --> 00:17:02,182
This story was published in Look magazine.

262
00:17:02,265 --> 00:17:05,851
Under the title "Love in Heaven".

263
00:17:06,478 --> 00:17:08,062
Do I have permission to do so?

264
00:17:09,272 --> 00:17:11,023
- Yes, you have permission. - Thank you.

265
00:17:13,944 --> 00:17:15,986
It's embarrassing, Ed.

266
00:17:19,407 --> 00:17:21,368
They are orders, from the high command.

267
00:17:23,411 --> 00:17:25,747
So Tracey Stevens will fly into space?

268
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:29,292
The decision is Dick's.

269
00:17:29,376 --> 00:17:32,128
I heard he threatened to quit if they took away his right to choose the crew.

270
00:17:32,212 --> 00:17:33,713
Don't seem bothered by it.

271
00:17:34,756 --> 00:17:35,799
I mean...

272
00:17:38,343 --> 00:17:40,679
This is not my business. I'm focusing on Apollo 15.

273
00:17:40,762 --> 00:17:42,389
But I don't like the idea...

274
00:17:42,472 --> 00:17:44,099
Don't like the idea?

275
00:17:45,225 --> 00:17:48,019
Ed, they're making fun of your career.

276
00:17:49,312 --> 00:17:53,900
I mean...I trained, I worked hard, I struggled.

277
00:17:53,984 --> 00:17:58,154
And you've risked a lot over the years to get to where you are today. Now what?

278
00:17:58,238 --> 00:18:02,617
Now these women will simply come, take the badges and fly.

279
00:18:03,410 --> 00:18:06,121
And why? Because the Soviets did it?

280
00:18:10,083 --> 00:18:14,713
Listen, Ed, she's not at all capable of doing what you're doing.

281
00:18:15,213 --> 00:18:16,715
Nor any of them.

282
00:18:16,798 --> 00:18:18,717
I heard that two of them are good pilots.

283
00:18:19,885 --> 00:18:21,636
But you're probably right.

284
00:18:22,596 --> 00:18:24,973
- Damn it, Ed. - Of course you're right. You are absolutely right.

285
00:18:26,808 --> 00:18:29,436
-You must be kidding me! - Sorry.

286
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:30,645
I...

287
00:18:31,897 --> 00:18:33,190
I'm sorry.

288
00:18:47,287 --> 00:18:50,874
"January 6, 1970"

289
00:18:53,293 --> 00:18:57,797
"first day"

290
00:18:57,881 --> 00:19:02,385
"20 (ASKAN)"

291
00:19:13,146 --> 00:19:14,981
"Love in heaven."

292
00:19:41,508 --> 00:19:43,260
-Can I sit here?-Of course.

293
00:19:47,556 --> 00:19:48,849
Thanks.

294
00:19:48,932 --> 00:19:50,475
I'm Tracy.

295
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:51,643
"Danielle."

296
00:19:59,025 --> 00:20:01,194
Look who entered us.

297
00:20:01,278 --> 00:20:03,363
I expected you, Molly.

298
00:20:04,489 --> 00:20:05,740
Here is better than the circus.

299
00:20:07,742 --> 00:20:10,287
Looks like we're the only two Mercury left in the business.

300
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:13,165
Yes. It's good to know you'll have my back.

301
00:20:13,248 --> 00:20:14,666
Like in the old days.

302
00:20:16,459 --> 00:20:19,504
Ladies, please have a seat. We'll start now.

303
00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:23,425
My name is Dick Slayton.

304
00:20:23,508 --> 00:20:26,595
I'm the Chief of the Astronaut Office, and I'm here to welcome you to NASA.

305
00:20:27,262 --> 00:20:31,600
congratulations. From now on, you are officially candidates for astronautship.

306
00:20:31,683 --> 00:20:35,187
From now on, it will be referred to as "ASKAN".

307
00:20:41,735 --> 00:20:44,863
You come from all over America.

308
00:20:46,198 --> 00:20:48,617
Who of you participated in the Mercury 13 program?

309
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:50,368
Patty Doyle and Molly Cobb,

310
00:20:50,827 --> 00:20:53,288
I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time.

311
00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:58,835
But these are not Mercury tests.

312
00:20:59,669 --> 00:21:00,712
no.

313
00:21:01,213 --> 00:21:05,550
This is a strenuous and continuous training program, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

314
00:21:05,634 --> 00:21:07,177
To prepare you for space travel.

315
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:09,262
There are 20 of you here today.

316
00:21:09,346 --> 00:21:11,890
I expect this number to decrease significantly a year from now.

317
00:21:12,349 --> 00:21:13,433
honestly,

318
00:21:14,351 --> 00:21:16,603
I'm not sure any of you will still be here.

319
00:21:17,395 --> 00:21:18,855
Here's how it works.

320
00:21:18,939 --> 00:21:21,483
I will give you evaluations at all stages.

321
00:21:21,566 --> 00:21:23,985
Everything you do will be evaluated.

322
00:21:24,069 --> 00:21:27,739
Flight performance, theoretical level, and your personalities and motivation.

323
00:21:28,323 --> 00:21:30,116
I will publish the results periodically.

324
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,828
If one of your names is on the list, you have been eliminated.

325
00:21:33,912 --> 00:21:35,413
She gathered her things and left.

326
00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:40,460
Turn off the lights, let's get to the show synopsis.

327
00:21:43,129 --> 00:21:47,968
Rudimentary scientific programs, jet piloting skills and celestial navigation,

328
00:21:48,051 --> 00:21:52,556
Simulation, guidance, navigation and control exercises.

329
00:21:53,515 --> 00:21:55,976
"Training Type - Simulated"

330
00:21:56,059 --> 00:21:58,520
"Command vehicle - lunar module"

331
00:21:58,603 --> 00:22:00,814
"Own goal"

332
00:22:07,654 --> 00:22:10,866
In Moscow today, Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin accused the Nixon administration of...

333
00:22:10,949 --> 00:22:12,158
"Day 18"

334
00:22:12,242 --> 00:22:14,911
By planning to place missiles on the newly proposed American lunar base

335
00:22:14,995 --> 00:22:17,914
In violation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

336
00:22:17,998 --> 00:22:20,041
The White House denies this accusation.

337
00:22:20,125 --> 00:22:23,420
They stated that it would not be the first country to place weapons in space.

338
00:22:23,962 --> 00:22:28,008
There is no abating in tensions as the “race to the base” continues.

339
00:22:28,091 --> 00:22:31,803
I'll bet $50 that this whole thing won't last more than two months.

340
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,848
I don't know.

341
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:37,934
I think we'll go all the way this time, Molly.

342
00:22:39,436 --> 00:22:43,273
Last time I said this, we ended up in a drunk cell in Tulsa.

343
00:22:44,649 --> 00:22:45,984
That was a long time ago.

344
00:22:46,693 --> 00:22:47,694
Yes.

345
00:22:48,653 --> 00:22:52,699
Just don't get your hopes up beyond the moment.

346
00:22:53,950 --> 00:22:55,494
The situation has not changed much.

347
00:23:05,629 --> 00:23:07,172
Have you ever flown a jet plane?

348
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,050
twice.

349
00:23:11,635 --> 00:23:12,969
I've always wanted to do that.

350
00:23:17,057 --> 00:23:18,642
- Aren't you married? - Yes.

351
00:23:18,725 --> 00:23:20,101
But you are very beautiful.

352
00:23:22,187 --> 00:23:24,523
- You talk like a mother. - Yes, this is not good.

353
00:23:25,899 --> 00:23:26,942
exactly.

354
00:23:29,486 --> 00:23:30,737
This is Janice.

355
00:23:32,531 --> 00:23:34,241
Its speed is too fast.

356
00:23:40,580 --> 00:23:41,748
I told you.

357
00:23:41,832 --> 00:23:43,291
Its landing was not smooth.

358
00:23:43,375 --> 00:23:45,126
Dick won't like this.

359
00:23:45,210 --> 00:23:46,628
Stevens, your turn!

360
00:23:51,341 --> 00:23:52,342
Fuck.

361
00:23:52,425 --> 00:23:54,553
If you enter these two parameters, you will do fine.

362
00:24:06,106 --> 00:24:07,858
Cab pressure is good, Trace.

363
00:24:07,941 --> 00:24:09,860
I mean, candidate Stevens.

364
00:24:12,362 --> 00:24:13,947
Check the oxygen regulator.

365
00:24:15,699 --> 00:24:18,785
The indicator is beating well, Commander Baldwin.

366
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:24,249
Start with an easy left turn.

367
00:24:27,252 --> 00:24:30,881
If you push the throttle on a glider, you will get an immediate result.

368
00:24:30,964 --> 00:24:32,841
As for jet planes, you have to plan ahead.

369
00:24:33,341 --> 00:24:35,969
- I received you. - Now turn right smoothly.

370
00:24:36,386 --> 00:24:37,387
science.

371
00:24:40,307 --> 00:24:43,059
Airspace within sight, northwest, 8 km.

372
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,104
Are you ready to fall, I mean to fall like this?

373
00:24:48,106 --> 00:24:49,608
I received you. Yes sir.

374
00:24:49,691 --> 00:24:52,527
Remember what we discussed the other day: the T-38 is falling fast.

375
00:24:52,611 --> 00:24:56,156
If you fall slowly, you will collapse; if you fall quickly, your decline will be prolonged.

376
00:24:56,239 --> 00:24:57,240
I received you.

377
00:24:58,617 --> 00:25:00,035
Okay, come on.

378
00:25:00,577 --> 00:25:04,331
Pay attention to your airspeed. 273 Too fast. Pull the throttle.

379
00:25:05,123 --> 00:25:08,668
Well, it's still fast, 257. Keep pulling the throttles.

380
00:25:08,752 --> 00:25:10,879
I did well. Now raise the nose of the plane.

381
00:25:24,309 --> 00:25:27,270
Interviews will be held today with applicants for the new space program

382
00:25:27,354 --> 00:25:29,731
Which will send a team consisting of an American astronaut and a female astronaut

383
00:25:29,814 --> 00:25:31,316
As the first couple on the moon.

384
00:25:34,486 --> 00:25:35,612
Welcome?

385
00:25:37,781 --> 00:25:39,282
Danny, look who's here.

386
00:25:39,366 --> 00:25:40,367
Hello, mom.

387
00:25:40,450 --> 00:25:42,661
- Hello, my little one. How was your day? - Good.

388
00:25:43,870 --> 00:25:45,247
I miss you.

389
00:25:45,330 --> 00:25:47,624
Thank you very much. Sorry for being late.

390
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:51,503
decent. The two boys had already eaten their dinner.

391
00:25:51,586 --> 00:25:52,587
Wow.

392
00:25:52,671 --> 00:25:55,632
Stop it. Don't wave these two in each other's faces.

393
00:25:56,091 --> 00:25:58,301
Yes, we were doing spacewalk exercises,

394
00:25:58,385 --> 00:26:01,179
So there was no way I could hold my phone in that suit.

395
00:26:04,516 --> 00:26:06,393
No problem, honestly.

396
00:26:08,979 --> 00:26:11,940
Ed told me you passed the first stage.

397
00:26:12,941 --> 00:26:14,025
congratulations.

398
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:15,527
I thank you.

399
00:26:15,610 --> 00:26:17,153
Yes, Ed...

400
00:26:18,613 --> 00:26:20,949
Ed helped me a lot with training.

401
00:26:21,658 --> 00:26:24,411
I don't think I would have gotten here if it weren't for him.

402
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:27,539
I'm glad it helped you.

403
00:26:27,622 --> 00:26:29,916
He does his best in everything.

404
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,251
Yes.

405
00:26:32,043 --> 00:26:34,254
I just hope he's focused enough on '15'.

406
00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:36,173
Of course he's focused.

407
00:26:36,256 --> 00:26:37,632
Honestly,

408
00:26:38,383 --> 00:26:41,636
I'm the one trying to hold on.

409
00:26:42,929 --> 00:26:46,057
It's not easy.

410
00:26:49,019 --> 00:26:50,937
It's not supposed to be easy, Tracy.

411
00:26:56,318 --> 00:26:59,529
Danny, thank you Mrs. Baldwin.

412
00:27:00,572 --> 00:27:02,324
Put on your jacket. Let's go.

413
00:27:03,366 --> 00:27:05,285
- Thank you. - Pardon. I'll see you soon, my friend.

414
00:27:05,368 --> 00:27:07,329
- Good night, Shane. - And you too.

415
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:09,831
Thank you again, Karen.

416
00:27:09,915 --> 00:27:11,291
Let's get your brother.

417
00:27:11,374 --> 00:27:13,126
Let's put everything in its place, okay?

418
00:27:16,087 --> 00:27:18,298
To return the crew safely,

419
00:27:18,381 --> 00:27:21,176
The command vehicle must enter the Earth's atmosphere

420
00:27:21,259 --> 00:27:22,928
at a specific angle,

421
00:27:23,011 --> 00:27:24,012
"Day 55"

422
00:27:24,095 --> 00:27:26,848
At a speed of 40,233 km per hour.

423
00:27:26,932 --> 00:27:28,517
"15 (ASKAN)"

424
00:27:28,725 --> 00:27:31,603
That is about 10,970 meters per second...

425
00:27:32,687 --> 00:27:33,730
meteorite.

426
00:27:33,813 --> 00:27:35,899
This is exactly what they represent.

427
00:27:37,234 --> 00:27:40,570
If you penetrate the casing at an angle, you will burn.

428
00:27:40,654 --> 00:27:45,450
But if they hit the atmosphere at a shallow angle, they will bounce back into space.

429
00:27:51,665 --> 00:27:52,749
vehicle.

430
00:27:54,251 --> 00:27:55,544
A 4-letter word meaning "truck".

431
00:28:01,591 --> 00:28:04,261
I know the reentry equations.

432
00:28:04,344 --> 00:28:05,720
I hope so.

433
00:28:12,018 --> 00:28:13,311
Let's check it out.

434
00:28:17,941 --> 00:28:19,067
A surprise exam.

435
00:29:09,117 --> 00:29:10,118
"Janice"?

436
00:29:11,786 --> 00:29:13,371
Apparently she didn't pass the test.

437
00:29:26,009 --> 00:29:28,595
I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't competed with me, Doyle.

438
00:29:33,141 --> 00:29:35,310
Fifth. the curse.

439
00:29:42,067 --> 00:29:44,569
"Performance Ratings 12. (Tracy Stevens)"

440
00:29:45,070 --> 00:29:46,154
Oh my God.

441
00:29:48,782 --> 00:29:51,910
"Out Post Pub"

442
00:29:59,876 --> 00:30:02,629
Hurray, hurray, I am victorious.

443
00:30:03,129 --> 00:30:04,589
Wow, Cobb.

444
00:30:05,507 --> 00:30:06,800
Replay the match?

445
00:30:06,883 --> 00:30:08,134
Prepare the balls.

446
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:20,856
- Have you noticed yet? - What?

447
00:30:22,566 --> 00:30:24,401
That every man in this bar is trying to pretend

448
00:30:24,484 --> 00:30:26,653
That he doesn't hate the fact that we're standing here.

449
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,822
Do you know what we are?

450
00:30:30,156 --> 00:30:32,492
We are change at its finest.

451
00:30:32,951 --> 00:30:34,244
I mean, we're standing here

452
00:30:34,327 --> 00:30:37,372
Their time in this hole is almost over,

453
00:30:37,455 --> 00:30:39,291
They don't like this at all.

454
00:30:39,374 --> 00:30:40,584
Stop it, Doyle.

455
00:30:41,209 --> 00:30:43,879
They will try to trap us, as they did last time.

456
00:30:45,547 --> 00:30:46,882
They are not the ones that worry me.

457
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:51,052
Look at them.

458
00:30:51,136 --> 00:30:52,596
They broke into this program

459
00:30:52,679 --> 00:30:55,015
As if we hadn't been trying to achieve this for 10 years.

460
00:30:55,891 --> 00:30:57,559
We're not that bad.

461
00:31:00,061 --> 00:31:01,855
They have no idea how difficult it is

462
00:31:01,938 --> 00:31:04,274
When the crisis occurs and they cancel this program.

463
00:31:04,357 --> 00:31:05,984
And you know this is going to happen, right?

464
00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:11,823
They all have to return to their miserable lives

465
00:31:11,907 --> 00:31:13,283
Wherever she is.

466
00:31:14,493 --> 00:31:15,827
I pity them.

467
00:31:16,536 --> 00:31:17,829
Except the astronaut's wife.

468
00:31:19,206 --> 00:31:23,543
She will have no problem returning to her luxurious life and her beloved husband.

469
00:31:25,337 --> 00:31:28,423
The scariest plane I ever flew was the S2Bets.

470
00:31:28,507 --> 00:31:29,508
Fuck.

471
00:31:29,591 --> 00:31:31,426
This plane can kill you in a blink of an eye.

472
00:31:31,510 --> 00:31:32,636
Yes.

473
00:31:33,345 --> 00:31:34,346
Wow.

474
00:31:35,388 --> 00:31:36,681
What about you, Tracy?

475
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:41,561
Honestly...

476
00:31:44,397 --> 00:31:49,486
My brother taught me to fly a Piper Cup.

477
00:31:49,569 --> 00:31:52,322
I know it's not new, but...

478
00:31:54,824 --> 00:31:56,034
Actually...

479
00:32:01,122 --> 00:32:04,793
One time, he had me try AT6.

480
00:32:04,876 --> 00:32:05,919
Oh, my God.

481
00:32:06,002 --> 00:32:09,464
And that goes from 40 to 600 horsepower...

482
00:32:11,174 --> 00:32:12,717
It opened my eyes to a lot.

483
00:32:13,426 --> 00:32:14,553
naturally.

484
00:32:15,178 --> 00:32:17,097
But if you want to be honest,

485
00:32:17,180 --> 00:32:20,350
I haven't flown many planes in recent years.

486
00:32:20,433 --> 00:32:22,644
This is understandable. You have two sons.

487
00:32:24,229 --> 00:32:25,730
Yes, maybe.

488
00:32:26,565 --> 00:32:27,774
I mean...

489
00:32:28,859 --> 00:32:32,946
A career in aviation didn't seem like an option for me, you understand?

490
00:32:34,197 --> 00:32:35,448
Eventually I became a nurse.

491
00:32:36,575 --> 00:32:40,203
Pediatric nurse...part-time.

492
00:32:40,954 --> 00:32:42,372
I was a secretary.

493
00:32:44,583 --> 00:32:46,042
Telephone line operator.

494
00:32:46,835 --> 00:32:47,836
Computer worker.

495
00:32:48,461 --> 00:32:49,504
What does this mean?

496
00:32:50,130 --> 00:32:53,967
We were doing calculations and some engineering at NASA.

497
00:32:54,551 --> 00:32:57,512
But it wasn't all that splendid.

498
00:32:59,306 --> 00:33:02,392
Do you know? Gordo scolded me a lot for coming here tonight.

499
00:33:02,475 --> 00:33:04,603
- Seriously. - I'm serious.

500
00:33:04,686 --> 00:33:08,481
He said he would not have even dreamed of stepping into this place,

501
00:33:08,565 --> 00:33:12,277
At Outpost, he even earned his astronaut badge.

502
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,905
Not a church, but a bar with a cockroach infestation.

503
00:33:16,323 --> 00:33:18,533
Some of these guys act like it's a night temple.

504
00:33:18,617 --> 00:33:20,577
- Yes. - They are not the only ones.

505
00:33:23,455 --> 00:33:24,831
Patty is nice.

506
00:33:24,915 --> 00:33:26,708
As for Molly...

507
00:33:31,046 --> 00:33:33,548
I don't know. I thought it would be more encouraging than this.

508
00:33:33,632 --> 00:33:35,258
Do you understand?

509
00:33:35,342 --> 00:33:38,595
Not here to make friends. And she's right.

510
00:33:41,598 --> 00:33:46,061
I cherish you all, but only one of us will be chosen.

511
00:33:48,855 --> 00:33:49,856
Well...

512
00:33:51,566 --> 00:33:55,195
Until then, can I invite you to another drinking session?

513
00:33:55,278 --> 00:33:56,446
Yes.

514
00:33:57,989 --> 00:33:58,990
Yes.

515
00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:06,915
Blackjack, Houston by Danielle.

516
00:34:06,997 --> 00:34:09,292
Show us the status of the fuel cell pH indicator 1.

517
00:34:09,376 --> 00:34:10,794
"Day 74, 12 (Askan)"

518
00:34:11,169 --> 00:34:14,798
Got you, Houston. Fuel Cell 1 is at the highest safety rating.

519
00:34:14,881 --> 00:34:16,550
The other two communication systems are standard-compliant.

520
00:34:20,804 --> 00:34:21,888
Wake up.

521
00:34:23,515 --> 00:34:24,641
Are you well?

522
00:34:25,141 --> 00:34:26,767
Yes. Just the early morning effect.

523
00:34:26,852 --> 00:34:29,062
Blackjack, Houston by Tracy.

524
00:34:29,144 --> 00:34:31,398
Please open all "Helium 1" isolation valves.

525
00:34:31,981 --> 00:34:35,193
Got you, Houston. Opening the first helium cycle.

526
00:34:38,363 --> 00:34:39,613
Here she is.

527
00:34:46,204 --> 00:34:49,666
Well done, Blackjack. We see good pressure on the reaction control system tank.

528
00:34:50,499 --> 00:34:51,501
You're welcome.

529
00:34:54,379 --> 00:34:57,549
Turn off the guidance computer. Have them executed manually.

530
00:34:57,632 --> 00:35:00,343
This is cruelty. You know they're not ready for this.

531
00:35:00,927 --> 00:35:03,305
We don't have time to wait for you to get ready.

532
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:12,772
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”

533
00:35:14,107 --> 00:35:15,483
"Cool Hand Luke."

534
00:35:18,945 --> 00:35:20,405
I grew up in theaters.

535
00:35:22,324 --> 00:35:25,619
- Have you seen "Butch Cassidy"? - I love the movie but I hate the music.

536
00:35:25,702 --> 00:35:27,496
Traditional, I see.

537
00:35:27,579 --> 00:35:29,623
You must love "The Magnificent Seven."

538
00:35:29,706 --> 00:35:32,209
Yes. He has the best cowboy movie soundtracks in history.

539
00:35:32,667 --> 00:35:35,670
Better than Red River? You've got a lot to learn, girl.

540
00:35:35,754 --> 00:35:37,339
Work now, flirt later.

541
00:35:37,422 --> 00:35:40,133
Your order, ma'am. Right away, ma'am. We'll get to work. Listen and obey.

542
00:35:48,308 --> 00:35:49,684
Main warning alarm.

543
00:35:52,270 --> 00:35:54,814
Basic guidance stopped. We have to do this manually.

544
00:35:54,898 --> 00:35:56,525
-What?- Take manual control.

545
00:35:57,901 --> 00:36:01,488
Well, we have to maintain the acceleration force. Keep an eye on the accelerometer and EMS.

546
00:36:01,571 --> 00:36:04,074
- Okay. - Don't increase the acceleration force more than 4, otherwise we will burn.

547
00:36:04,157 --> 00:36:05,158
Understood.

548
00:36:05,659 --> 00:36:07,452
- Your turnover rates are going up. - I see that.

549
00:36:08,787 --> 00:36:10,580
You are resisting the dead zone. Lower your heights.

550
00:36:10,664 --> 00:36:12,290
Stop directing me.

551
00:36:15,252 --> 00:36:17,212
"acceleration force"

552
00:36:17,295 --> 00:36:20,799
Fuck! We move at an inclined angle. Acceleration force 7.

553
00:36:21,883 --> 00:36:23,593
Lift the left carrier.

554
00:36:23,677 --> 00:36:25,136
I'm late. We will burn.

555
00:36:29,558 --> 00:36:30,976
great. We died.

556
00:36:32,769 --> 00:36:35,188
End of simulation. Prepare for interrogation.

557
00:36:42,070 --> 00:36:43,238
Sorry, guys.

558
00:36:44,364 --> 00:36:46,157
Didn't you sleep enough?

559
00:36:47,909 --> 00:36:49,536
Was Gordo the reason?

560
00:36:49,619 --> 00:36:51,163
Or was it the two boys?

561
00:36:51,955 --> 00:36:53,373
Or was it the dog?

562
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:56,543
- Listen... - I don't care.

563
00:36:58,044 --> 00:36:59,546
Are you tired?

564
00:36:59,629 --> 00:37:01,923
Your job is not to get tired.

565
00:37:02,007 --> 00:37:04,676
Yes, I know. I'm just trying...

566
00:37:04,759 --> 00:37:08,305
You haven't flown much, you have two sons, and you're not an engineer.

567
00:37:08,388 --> 00:37:10,682
Ignore a lot of rules for you, Tracy Stevens.

568
00:37:10,765 --> 00:37:14,436
So I don't see how you think it's appropriate to complain about anything.

569
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:15,896
What do you say, Cobb?

570
00:37:15,979 --> 00:37:18,231
What I'm saying is, except for your good looks

571
00:37:18,315 --> 00:37:20,108
And your marriage to Gordo Stevens,

572
00:37:20,192 --> 00:37:22,861
I don't see what qualifies you to stay here.

573
00:37:24,362 --> 00:37:26,781
I know why I'm here, and I know why Patty's here,

574
00:37:26,865 --> 00:37:31,119
And Danny and pretty much everyone except you, the astronaut's wife.

575
00:37:32,329 --> 00:37:34,039
Why are you still here?

576
00:37:41,421 --> 00:37:44,674
And she's right. Why am I continuing this?

577
00:37:44,758 --> 00:37:47,260
Why am I continuing this, Gordo? It's a farce.

578
00:37:47,344 --> 00:37:48,762
Don't say that.

579
00:37:49,429 --> 00:37:51,806
Honey, you have a real chance to win.

580
00:37:52,641 --> 00:37:56,102
Shorty said your results with the jet were at the top of the class.

581
00:37:56,186 --> 00:37:57,395
- You are a great pilot. - No.

582
00:37:57,479 --> 00:38:00,482
- Tris, you've always been a great pilot. - I've been for 8 years.

583
00:38:00,565 --> 00:38:03,777
But now I'm just a housewife trying to remember the basics of radio navigation.

584
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:06,738
And you didn't discuss my results with Shorty Powers?

585
00:38:06,821 --> 00:38:09,699
He mentioned it casually.

586
00:38:09,783 --> 00:38:12,035
I think you should keep going until the end, Tris.

587
00:38:14,204 --> 00:38:16,122
I should have been eliminated weeks ago.

588
00:38:16,665 --> 00:38:19,543
And everyone knows that's the only reason I'm here

589
00:38:19,626 --> 00:38:21,962
Is that Shorty wants the alien couple.

590
00:38:22,045 --> 00:38:23,755
Come on, Tracy.

591
00:38:23,839 --> 00:38:25,423
I'm a joke, Gordo.

592
00:38:26,007 --> 00:38:27,592
I'm a joke,

593
00:38:27,676 --> 00:38:31,513
And you accept insulting your wife like this

594
00:38:31,596 --> 00:38:33,557
Not wanting to lose a seat in 15.

595
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,767
- You are not the center of attention here. - You are always the center of attention!

596
00:38:35,851 --> 00:38:37,727
You are the center of attention in everything.

597
00:38:37,811 --> 00:38:38,895
Don't open this topic.

598
00:38:38,979 --> 00:38:41,022
This has been the case since the day we met.

599
00:38:41,106 --> 00:38:44,609
This entire house revolves around King Gordo.

600
00:38:45,569 --> 00:38:48,405
Don't change the subject. We're talking about you wanting to give up

601
00:38:48,488 --> 00:38:50,240
The first thing that got a little tough on you.

602
00:38:50,323 --> 00:38:54,161
"Intensified a little"? Did you listen to anything I said?

603
00:38:54,244 --> 00:38:55,787
I listened to everything you said.

604
00:38:55,871 --> 00:38:58,915
“The simulator training was hard, the jet qualification was hard, the math was hard.

605
00:38:58,999 --> 00:39:01,501
"Everything is too difficult. I should give up."

606
00:39:03,336 --> 00:39:07,132
Damn it, Tris. Have some... courage!

607
00:39:07,215 --> 00:39:10,343
Don't let something this trivial get you out of the program.

608
00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:15,098
Is that what you think of me?

609
00:39:17,934 --> 00:39:19,603
That I'm not brave?

610
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,897
Am I quick to give up?

611
00:39:25,317 --> 00:39:26,860
This is what you're talking about doing, right?

612
00:39:27,694 --> 00:39:31,281
You're going to pack up your toys and leave because a girl talked to you harshly in the simulation.

613
00:39:33,325 --> 00:39:34,451
Get out!

614
00:39:36,661 --> 00:39:38,079
I'll go already.

615
00:39:44,669 --> 00:39:46,463
I said get out of here!

616
00:39:46,546 --> 00:39:47,672
Fuck.

617
00:39:57,390 --> 00:39:58,600
Oh, my God.

618
00:41:02,372 --> 00:41:04,749
On the moon? Is this even possible?

619
00:41:04,833 --> 00:41:08,503
Ray, how confident are you that those bright spots are actually snow?

620
00:41:08,587 --> 00:41:10,172
I'm not confident, and I can't be.

621
00:41:10,255 --> 00:41:13,216
It is one possibility suggested by the data.

622
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:16,678
The instruments were not designed for a lunar orbiter

623
00:41:16,761 --> 00:41:18,221
For this type of analysis.

624
00:41:18,305 --> 00:41:20,015
We'll know more after Apollo 15.

625
00:41:20,098 --> 00:41:23,143
Our command module will launch equipped with an enhanced infrared imaging spectrometer.

626
00:41:23,226 --> 00:41:25,061
- It brings us better data. - I assure you of the following.

627
00:41:26,021 --> 00:41:31,109
If he was right, if there was water on him, that would change everything.

628
00:41:31,193 --> 00:41:33,528
- How so? - Because we can drink it, sir.

629
00:41:33,612 --> 00:41:35,280
That is, we do not have to carry water from us.

630
00:41:35,363 --> 00:41:37,699
We can use it to grow plants without soil.

631
00:41:37,782 --> 00:41:40,243
But the most interesting aspect, sir

632
00:41:40,327 --> 00:41:44,539
is that we can electrically divide the compound water into hydrogen and oxygen,

633
00:41:44,623 --> 00:41:46,041
Then we liquefy it to produce...

634
00:41:46,124 --> 00:41:47,292
Simply speak please.

635
00:41:47,375 --> 00:41:49,461
He says we can use it to make rocket fuel.

636
00:41:50,170 --> 00:41:53,340
The same type we use in the upper stages of the Saturn 5.

637
00:41:53,423 --> 00:41:57,802
A gas station on our way to the rest of the solar system.

638
00:42:03,141 --> 00:42:04,935
Well done, Ray. Thanks.

639
00:42:12,150 --> 00:42:13,151
Guys.

640
00:42:14,611 --> 00:42:17,906
The president wants to check on the progress we've made with his women.

641
00:42:18,657 --> 00:42:20,033
Especially Stevens' wife.

642
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:22,285
He very much hopes that she will be chosen.

643
00:42:22,869 --> 00:42:26,289
Tell him his women are about to undergo desert survival skills training.

644
00:42:27,082 --> 00:42:28,375
Are you really doing that?

645
00:42:28,458 --> 00:42:29,960
It's part of the program.

646
00:42:30,544 --> 00:42:32,087
Are you trying to exclude them on purpose?

647
00:42:33,672 --> 00:42:36,883
They cannot carry an 18kg pack 32km in the desert sun.

648
00:42:36,967 --> 00:42:39,678
They must be able to handle all aspects of space travel,

649
00:42:39,761 --> 00:42:42,013
Including survival after a crash landing.

650
00:42:43,223 --> 00:42:44,683
You'll lose half of them in that training.

651
00:42:45,684 --> 00:42:48,478
If they can't survive in the desert, they won't survive on the moon.

652
00:43:02,117 --> 00:43:03,243
Ladies, here's the scenario.

653
00:43:03,326 --> 00:43:04,995
"Day 101, 10 (Ascan)"

654
00:43:05,078 --> 00:43:06,413
You were flying a solo mission.

655
00:43:06,496 --> 00:43:09,457
Your plane deviated from its course and landed in the desert.

656
00:43:10,208 --> 00:43:13,044
You have your parachutes and your survival kit on the plane.

657
00:43:13,628 --> 00:43:16,047
Equipment weighing 18 kg is strapped to your backs.

658
00:43:16,506 --> 00:43:20,635
You do not have maps of the area, nor a means of wireless communication.

659
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,472
Your goal is to reach a checkpoint located east of your location

660
00:43:24,556 --> 00:43:26,600
In less than 14 hours.

661
00:43:41,865 --> 00:43:45,827
I repeat myself. This is not an assignment to strengthen the spirit of cooperation among the team.

662
00:43:46,328 --> 00:43:50,207
This test will be timed and evaluated based on your individual performance.

663
00:43:50,874 --> 00:43:54,336
You will each carry a rudimentary radio for use in case of emergency.

664
00:43:54,836 --> 00:43:56,463
But be careful.

665
00:43:56,546 --> 00:44:00,300
Your test will be invalidated if you use the wireless device for any reason.

666
00:44:00,383 --> 00:44:02,260
They will get a failing grade.

667
00:44:03,220 --> 00:44:05,305
If I haven't made this clear...

668
00:44:06,848 --> 00:44:09,434
Passing this test is mandatory.

669
00:44:10,185 --> 00:44:11,311
Good luck.

670
00:45:15,375 --> 00:45:16,835
Oh, my God.

671
00:45:21,047 --> 00:45:22,340
Oh, my God.

672
00:45:38,899 --> 00:45:40,066
I see something.

673
00:45:58,001 --> 00:46:01,880
Congratulations, Coop. Your time is 10 hours and 12 minutes.

674
00:46:02,797 --> 00:46:04,007
10:12?

675
00:46:06,092 --> 00:46:07,594
I was hoping for less than 10.

676
00:46:08,553 --> 00:46:11,806
I suppose I'll settle for first place.

677
00:46:11,890 --> 00:46:13,350
I didn't say you were the first.

678
00:46:14,267 --> 00:46:15,352
What?

679
00:46:15,435 --> 00:46:17,562
Oh Cobb. Hold on.

680
00:46:19,523 --> 00:46:22,192
9 hours, 53 minutes.

681
00:46:22,275 --> 00:46:23,485
I overcame you.

682
00:46:25,779 --> 00:46:27,280
It was time, Doyle.

683
00:46:28,156 --> 00:46:31,535
I was wondering when you would finally beat me at something.

684
00:46:36,498 --> 00:46:37,833
Oh, my God.

685
00:48:03,710 --> 00:48:04,920
"Ellen."

686
00:48:10,217 --> 00:48:11,301
I won't do it.

687
00:48:13,637 --> 00:48:14,638
What?

688
00:48:16,932 --> 00:48:19,184
I will not use the wireless to finish the test.

689
00:48:22,437 --> 00:48:23,480
Good.

690
00:48:29,402 --> 00:48:31,071
I think it's broken.

691
00:48:31,988 --> 00:48:33,907
I won't finish the test. I will not fail.

692
00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:35,575
Okay, give me that.

693
00:48:36,451 --> 00:48:38,036
Good. Are you ready? respiratory.

694
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,290
So, okay.

695
00:48:42,833 --> 00:48:44,251
Do you feel this?

696
00:48:44,334 --> 00:48:45,377
Yes?

697
00:48:46,002 --> 00:48:47,128
Can you move your toes?

698
00:48:49,005 --> 00:48:50,006
Good.

699
00:48:50,715 --> 00:48:52,384
I probably just had a bad sprain.

700
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:56,179
So we will try to reduce the swelling.

701
00:48:56,263 --> 00:49:00,976
Then we'll tie that shoe

702
00:49:01,059 --> 00:49:03,144
As tight as your ankle can take, okay?

703
00:49:04,062 --> 00:49:05,230
Good.

704
00:49:13,238 --> 00:49:15,407
We won't get far under this hot sun.

705
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,331
What do you do?

706
00:49:23,957 --> 00:49:25,584
Something I learned from Gordo.

707
00:49:30,046 --> 00:49:32,841
Well, I'm with you. Let's go.

708
00:49:33,633 --> 00:49:35,343
thus. Put your arm around me.

709
00:49:36,303 --> 00:49:38,054
- Okay, I'm with you. - Okay.

710
00:49:57,782 --> 00:49:59,743
-Do you want some?-Ma'am? Are you both okay?

711
00:50:21,264 --> 00:50:23,225
If we both die here,

712
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:26,061
I would at least like to know who I would die with.

713
00:50:27,479 --> 00:50:29,814
Believe me, I'm not that interesting.

714
00:50:29,898 --> 00:50:32,108
Come on, don't you have anything better to do?

715
00:50:32,609 --> 00:50:34,027
What were you working before this?

716
00:50:37,322 --> 00:50:40,992
After studying, I thought about getting a job in an engineering company.

717
00:50:41,076 --> 00:50:46,206
But my father convinced me to return home and work for the family business.

718
00:50:47,374 --> 00:50:49,042
What is a family company?

719
00:50:49,751 --> 00:50:51,586
We work in air transportation.

720
00:50:53,129 --> 00:50:54,631
Okay, relax.

721
00:50:55,715 --> 00:50:59,177
Air transportation? Like United Airlines?

722
00:51:00,846 --> 00:51:01,847
no.

723
00:51:06,309 --> 00:51:07,435
"Cavalier."

724
00:51:08,979 --> 00:51:10,146
"Cavalier"?

725
00:51:11,481 --> 00:51:12,899
Cavalier Airlines?

726
00:51:13,608 --> 00:51:15,694
"The only way to fly is Cavalier"?

727
00:51:17,237 --> 00:51:18,363
This is us.

728
00:51:24,536 --> 00:51:25,537
So you...

729
00:51:26,580 --> 00:51:27,581
Wealthy.

730
00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:29,791
Yes.

731
00:51:30,584 --> 00:51:33,962
Good. This is not the worst thing in existence.

732
00:51:54,024 --> 00:51:55,192
It's time to finish the test.

733
00:51:57,903 --> 00:51:59,279
Here is the first NASA checkpoint

734
00:51:59,362 --> 00:52:02,824
To all female astronaut candidates who are still in the training program.

735
00:52:02,908 --> 00:52:06,661
Your allotted time has passed, and the assessment has ended.

736
00:52:07,329 --> 00:52:09,206
Notify us via radio of your approximate locations

737
00:52:09,289 --> 00:52:11,541
We will bring rescue equipment to your locations.

738
00:52:11,625 --> 00:52:12,626
around.

739
00:52:26,097 --> 00:52:29,559
Here's NASA's first checkpoint for all remaining candidates in the program.

740
00:52:29,643 --> 00:52:33,605
We ask you to respond immediately. Please respond. around.

741
00:52:33,688 --> 00:52:35,315
You don't have to shout, Dick.

742
00:52:37,692 --> 00:52:38,693
doctors!

743
00:52:43,907 --> 00:52:45,617
This is very embarrassing.

744
00:52:47,202 --> 00:52:49,621
You would have been more embarrassed if they had carried you on a stretcher.

745
00:52:49,704 --> 00:52:51,456
- Right? - Madam, don't move.

746
00:52:57,587 --> 00:52:58,630
Thanks.

747
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,731
Not a group exercise, Stevens. I told you so.

748
00:53:16,815 --> 00:53:19,317
Waverly had to finish the test, and you had to come.

749
00:53:20,318 --> 00:53:21,319
But...

750
00:53:22,112 --> 00:53:24,948
She refused to finish the test, and I was not going to leave her and leave.

751
00:53:26,074 --> 00:53:27,659
Neither were you, sir.

752
00:53:52,934 --> 00:53:54,728
"Performance ratings"

753
00:53:54,811 --> 00:53:56,980
"1. (Patty Doyle), 2. (Molly Cobb)"

754
00:53:57,063 --> 00:53:58,398
This is nonsense.

755
00:53:59,649 --> 00:54:02,027
I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for you competing with me, Coop.

756
00:54:02,527 --> 00:54:04,446
Girls, look at this.

757
00:54:05,322 --> 00:54:06,489
There are letters here.

758
00:54:07,449 --> 00:54:09,493
One for Molly from a little girl in Munich.

759
00:54:10,494 --> 00:54:11,870
And one of mine from Tokyo.

760
00:54:13,121 --> 00:54:14,164
"Patty."

761
00:54:16,416 --> 00:54:18,835
Cheyenne, Santiago...

762
00:54:18,919 --> 00:54:20,962
You don't need to listen to lovers' mail.

763
00:54:22,631 --> 00:54:25,383
Dear Mrs. Doyle, what's it like to be an astronaut?

764
00:54:25,467 --> 00:54:27,552
When I grow up, I want to go to space.

765
00:54:27,636 --> 00:54:30,764
We hope to see you in space soon.

766
00:54:30,847 --> 00:54:32,432
Don't stop dreaming.

767
00:54:32,516 --> 00:54:36,102
With love, Lauren and Janice.”

768
00:54:36,186 --> 00:54:37,187
"Women's place in space"

769
00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:38,522
- Mrs. Waverley. - Dear Danielle.

770
00:54:38,605 --> 00:54:40,524
My favorite subject in school is science.

771
00:54:40,607 --> 00:54:41,650
"Yes to equality"

772
00:54:41,733 --> 00:54:43,610
To Mrs. Tracy Stevens,

773
00:54:43,693 --> 00:54:46,196
You have become a huge inspiration in my life.

774
00:54:46,279 --> 00:54:47,364
"End sexism"

775
00:54:47,447 --> 00:54:50,992
My parents always told me that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up.

776
00:54:51,076 --> 00:54:53,370
But I didn't really believe them yet.

777
00:54:53,453 --> 00:54:54,621
"Women's place in space"

778
00:54:54,704 --> 00:54:57,582
Someday, I want to travel to outer space like you do.

779
00:54:57,666 --> 00:54:58,792
Houston, Texas for equality.

780
00:54:58,875 --> 00:55:00,544
I can't wait to see what you accomplish at NASA.

781
00:55:00,627 --> 00:55:03,380
- I look forward to following you... - Good luck.

782
00:55:03,463 --> 00:55:05,382
-Sincerely.- Best wishes.

783
00:55:05,465 --> 00:55:06,675
- “Jennifer.” - “Caroline.”

784
00:55:06,758 --> 00:55:07,843
- “Alison.” - “Alicia.”

785
00:55:13,807 --> 00:55:16,268
- You wanted to meet me. - Please have a seat.

786
00:55:24,234 --> 00:55:26,194
I have a lot of respect for what you did there.

787
00:55:26,820 --> 00:55:29,739
Risking yourself to help another candidate proved a lot of nerve.

788
00:55:32,826 --> 00:55:35,495
- It was not a big deal, sir. - You are wrong.

789
00:55:36,454 --> 00:55:38,623
Remember, I went through the same training at Mercury.

790
00:55:41,835 --> 00:55:44,379
And I'm sure Shepherd put some rocks in my bag.

791
00:55:45,046 --> 00:55:47,674
But these are the next things we're going to do...

792
00:55:49,134 --> 00:55:52,137
It's dangerous, especially lunar lander simulator training.

793
00:55:52,220 --> 00:55:54,472
If you make one mistake in that bed frame...

794
00:55:55,974 --> 00:55:58,185
Yes, I can handle it.

795
00:56:01,146 --> 00:56:04,858
You just don't have the skills, Tracy.

796
00:56:05,567 --> 00:56:07,569
This is not like riding a bike.

797
00:56:09,779 --> 00:56:12,866
You should be proud of what you have achieved so far.

798
00:56:13,783 --> 00:56:14,784
But...

799
00:56:16,286 --> 00:56:17,454
You will exclude me.

800
00:56:18,955 --> 00:56:19,956
no.

801
00:56:22,334 --> 00:56:25,170
I think you should withdraw from the program.

802
00:56:31,885 --> 00:56:33,470
I don't understand.

803
00:56:35,055 --> 00:56:37,432
- You didn't cross me off the list. - That's right.

804
00:56:37,516 --> 00:56:39,017
You have shown courage.

805
00:56:40,352 --> 00:56:42,979
But courage alone is no longer enough.

806
00:56:48,568 --> 00:56:50,445
I'm not quitting, Dick.

807
00:56:54,574 --> 00:56:55,659
I want this.

808
00:56:57,869 --> 00:57:00,080
I didn't know how much I wanted him until he was in front of my eyes,

809
00:57:00,163 --> 00:57:01,373
But I know now.

810
00:57:06,002 --> 00:57:07,003
So...

811
00:57:08,630 --> 00:57:12,551
If you want me to leave, you must remove me yourself, sir.

812
00:57:30,318 --> 00:57:32,571
We call this the “flying bed frame.”

813
00:57:32,654 --> 00:57:35,448
Its official name is the Moon Landing Training Vehicle.

814
00:57:35,532 --> 00:57:36,950
"Day 200, 5 (Askan)"

815
00:57:37,033 --> 00:57:38,785
This vehicle is designed to simulate

816
00:57:38,869 --> 00:57:40,829
Lunar spacecraft flight dynamics.

817
00:57:40,912 --> 00:57:44,833
It flies like a helicopter, but it's not a helicopter.

818
00:57:45,458 --> 00:57:48,753
There are many important differences that you should all know

819
00:57:48,837 --> 00:57:50,589
Before you take the wheel.

820
00:57:50,672 --> 00:57:52,257
This is a difficult beast to please.

821
00:57:53,133 --> 00:57:56,136
Neil Armstrong almost died there two years ago.

822
00:57:56,219 --> 00:57:57,888
If he had left two seconds late,

823
00:57:57,971 --> 00:58:01,141
When he returned home, and certainly when he went to the moon.

824
00:58:02,809 --> 00:58:05,937
Today's flight plan is basic take-off and landing maneuvers.

825
00:58:06,521 --> 00:58:09,608
Each of you will fly with the bed frame at a maximum altitude of 90 metres,

826
00:58:09,691 --> 00:58:11,443
and fly for 30 seconds,

827
00:58:11,526 --> 00:58:13,945
It performs a complete clockwise rotation,

828
00:58:14,029 --> 00:58:15,614
And fly for another 30 seconds,

829
00:58:15,697 --> 00:58:17,699
Then you land the vehicle on the landing site.

830
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,494
No need for any special tricks.

831
00:58:20,577 --> 00:58:24,289
Just take off, fly, spin, soar and land.

832
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,333
-Agreed?-Agreed.

833
00:58:29,586 --> 00:58:30,587
"Tracy"?

834
00:58:32,380 --> 00:58:33,590
We agreed, sir.

835
00:58:36,218 --> 00:58:40,055
Flight order: Tracy, Patty, Danny, Molly.

836
00:59:10,293 --> 00:59:15,006
Prepare to take off in 3, 2, 1.

837
00:59:27,602 --> 00:59:28,979
"beer"

838
00:59:58,550 --> 01:00:00,260
"Ellington Air Force Base, about a kilo and a half."

839
01:00:00,343 --> 01:00:02,095
Come on, move!

840
01:00:03,972 --> 01:00:08,435
All emergency crew members must proceed immediately to the airfield.

841
01:00:08,518 --> 01:00:09,811
There is a serious situation.

842
01:00:10,312 --> 01:00:14,900
I repeat: All emergency crew members must proceed immediately to the airfield.

843
01:00:15,609 --> 01:00:16,902
There is a serious situation.

844
01:00:25,994 --> 01:00:27,871
- “Tracy”! - “Gordo.”

845
01:00:27,954 --> 01:00:30,207
- “Tracy”! - No. It's not your fault.

846
01:00:31,333 --> 01:00:32,417
"Gordo!"

847
01:00:39,299 --> 01:00:41,176
"Patty." It was Patty.

848
01:00:55,232 --> 01:00:56,566
Spray in the middle!
