(on radio)
Thank you doctor. Shariff, what’s your
status?
SHARIFF:
Nearly there. Replacing battery module
A1 and C.
SHARIFF DASARI is an Indian engineer in his mid-thirties. He is
attached with tethers to a platform on one side of the Hubble.
This is his second mission into outer space.
MISSION CONTROL:
(on radio)
Could you be more specific?
Indeterminate estimates make Houston
anxious.
SHARIFF:
No... no... no Houston, don’t be
anxious. Anxiety is not good for the
heart... The system is ready to reactivate.
MISSION CONTROL:
(on radio)
Hubble Telescope engaged. Upgrade
fully functional. That applause you
hear is for you, Shariff.
Congratulations. Kick back, take the
rest of the day off.
Shariff cheers and begins singing a pop tune in Hindi, bursting
into a Zero-G Bollywood choreography that is repressed by the
stiffness of his space suit.
SHARIFF:
(singing)
Woohoo… Jaise Baadal Paani Ka, Yaarana
Hai Oh Jaise Paani Ka, Yaarana Hai.
MISSION CONTROL:
(on radio)
Matt, please advise as to Mission
Specialist Shariff’s current activity.
MATT:
He appears to be doing the Macarena of
some sort. Though that would merely be
a best guess scenario on my part.
Matt is now approaching the Explorer, skillfully maneuvering his
thrusters.
The other astronaut stands perched on a ROBOTIC ARM attached to
the Shuttle. The arm is a crane-like moving platform remotely
operated from inside the Shuttle.
We TRACK In on the astronaut as she works intently alone.
MISSION CONTROL:
Dr. Stone. Houston. Medical now have
you with a temperature drop to 35.9
and heart rate rise to 70.
How are you doing?
RYAN:
Houston, I’m fine, it’s just...
(she swallows)
...Keeping your lunch down in zero G
is harder than it looks.
MISSION CONTROL:
Doctor Stone? Medical is asking if you
want to return to Explorer?
Ryan HUMS as she jiggles the CARD.
RYAN:
No, we’ve been here for a week
Houston, let's just finish this.
RYAN STONE is a medical engineer, specialized in hospital
scanning systems. She’s focused on her work as though she’s all
alone in the world. This is her first mission.
Ryan eyes the Card, then...
RYAN (CONT’D (CONT’D)
Card is up.
MISSION CONTROL:
(on radio)
That’s a negative. I’m afraid we’re
getting nothing on this end, doctor.
Ryan eyes the Card, then...
RYAN:
Try again.
MISSION CONTROL:
(a beat, then...)
Still nothing.
RYAN:
Houston, could you please turn that
music off?
MISSION CONTROL:
(on radio)
Kowalsky?
MATT:
Not a problem.
Matt toggles a switch and the music stops.
RYAN:
Thank you, Kowalsky.
Ryan moves the Card around.
RYAN (CONT’D)
Now, Houston?
MISSION CONTROL:
Negative.
