00:00Hello John. You are aboard the spacecraft Odyssey One.
00:07So I don't know if you heard, but I'll be leaving town soon.
00:14A billion and a half miles. No big deal.
00:21We're awake. Good.
00:26Is hibernation affecting you at all?
00:29Gentlemen, we have been in space for nearly two years.
00:36It's incredible.
00:38We are on our way to Titan.
00:44Titan. It's the most Earth-like world we can reach.
00:47But to get there, we'll need Jupiter's gravity for a speed boost.
00:53Two more hibernation cycles before the slingshot.
01:01Houston, we have a situation.
01:03The impact represents no real danger.
01:05What if the whole system is compromised?
01:07If we attempt a slingshot, we get blasted into deep space.
01:17The drugs used to induce hibernation can produce side effects.
01:23She's not here on the ship.
01:25I know that.
01:28Including confusion and disorientation.
01:36Your imagination is playing a cruel trick on me.
01:39How do you know this?
01:42Every scene around us is screaming, turn around!
01:47And you're about to blast us even further into space.
01:53Warning, warning. System overload.
01:56Abort the mission!
02:00You're sending us all to die!
02:06Flying into the light is a survival instinct.
02:10The best escape route tends to be towards life.
02:17Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
