The Titan Page #2

---

Super men.

Able to live on another world.

You'll become you...

but better.

The slingshot around Jupiter

is 50-50 at best.

Not if you use a Hohmann Transfer.

All right, give me two minutes, guys.

You'd need propulsionof more

than 15 kilometers a second for that.

It's never beendone.

Let's just worry about down here

before up there.

Have you ever flown

on an Orion

-No, I haven't.

-I bet you're the first one to crash one.

-Better make sure you're strapped in.

-I'm riding with the astronauts!

You're mad!

It tracks your heart rate, blood pressure,

sodium levels, other vitals.

A lot of monitoring from now on.

I hope you're not squeamish.

I'll be giving you over 300 shots

in the next few weeks.

With what?

Amino acid solutions, enzyme inhibitors,

nucleic acid polymers.

The long, steady road of training

yourselves to burn nitrogen for energy.

Open. And use less oxygen.

Well, you'll never black out

at high altitudes ever again.

What we call "air"

is more than 75% nitrogen.

Oxygen only constitutes 20%.

But where you're going,

the nitrogen ratio of air is 90%,

oxygen less than five.

So we don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Just go the extra 15.

-Good morning.

-Hi there.

Are we gonna see you on Saturday?

Oh, well, I have to see

how Zane's feeling, darling,

but I'm sure we'll make it.

Mom!

Look at this! What is that?

A fighting car.

All right.

["You Need A Little Something Extra"

by William Bell plays]

You can be a beauty queen

And make believe, my baby

Hey. What...

You can be a poor man's dream

And make believe, my baby

How did you two meet each other?

European Space Agency.

-College.

-Yes, please!

Thank you.

This is the last time some of us

will get to drink for a while.

Again?

-No.

Yes.

-No.

-You and me Abi, together.

-Okay.

Whoa!

I was in the KSK long enough

to know how these things work.

They're spending so much money

to get us there, they have plans.

They don't want us to come back.

That's your PTSD talking.

We'll only be gone two years.

I'm on a one-way ticket. Gone.

There is nothing left on this planet

but misery.

Let's see if we make it that far.

You know, Hernandez, Janssen was right.

Why the hell did you say yes?

I'd have felt guilty if I hadn't.

Here. You'll feel guilty

if you let that burn.

Hey, baby, won't you take a chance?

Say that you'll let me have this dance

Well, let's dance

Well, let's dance

We'll do the twist, the stomp

The mashed potato too

Any old dance that you wanna do

Well, let's dance

Well, let's dance

Hey, baby,won't you thrill me so?

Hold me tight, never let me go

Well, let's dance

Well, let's dance

Well, let's dance
