Minor problem on the reactor,

but it's my job to fix it.

I'm glad to have little challenges

to break up my routine.

The ship is going

160,000 miles per hour,

but I can't tell I'm moving.

The sun comes through

the window once a week,

and everything repeats.

At first, that felt normal.

The ship is getting filthy.

It's fascinating to witness how much

matter can be generated by plant decay

and my own skin.

Greenstreet

and Worsley have lost hope.

I think that's because

their experiments failed.

Their families

are waiting for them.

That sense of

disappointment and longing

can get in the way

of a mission like mine.

"The impossible..."

The struggle to survive

has proven...

Uh... the struggle

of this journey

has taken us further...

And...

One step further...

For mankind...

One step further...

Calling Maddox.

I just had

a dream I was falling.

Ironic, don't you think?

That's not a dream.

You are falling.

You have any dreams like that?

It's late, Stanaforth.

Yeah, okay.

You're right, I'm sorry.

Hey uncle bill, happy birthday.

I wish you happy birthday.

All right,

happy birthday, bill.

She says happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Love you. Bye.

Mucho gusto.

Me llamo Patty.

Mucho gusto.

Me llamo Patty.

Where are you from Patty?

I'm from Mxico,

and you?

Where are you from?

Soy de Mxico, ? Y t?

Soy de earth,

I am from Costa Rica.

Yo soy de Costa Rica.

Marte.

Marte...

Voy El Marte.

Soy de Marte.

Call Maddox.

I guess we're

on our own out here.

Houston,

I seem to have lost the signal.

Houston?

Houston?

Skinny, do I have a signal?

What the f***?

Houston, do you read me? This is

captain Stanaforth aboard the Zephyr.

I appear to have

lost the signal.

Houston, this is captain

Stanaforth aboard the Zephyr.

Do you read me? I appear

to have lost the signal.

Hello?

Hello, hello!

F***! Anyone?

Skinny, come on.

Can anyone hear me?

Stanaforth, what's going on?

Skinny, where the f***

have you been?

Is everything okay?

What happened?

I just, uh, I tried

to reach Maddox,

and then you, and...

No one responded.

Look, we need you

to go radio silent for a bit

while we deal with the

situation with Maddox.

Okay. Wait, wait.

What's going on with Maddox?

Sit tight.

Skinny?

Call Maddox.

Calling Maddox.

Maddox, this is Stanaforth.

Do you copy?

What are you after?

Always pleasant to hear

from you too, captain.

I just nearly lost it

missing you.

I'm off course.

What?

Maddox, when was the last time you

performed maintenance on your gyros?

Oh, no, no. You're always

trying to pin this sh*t on me.

Why didn't your

software detect the issue?

I'm not trying

to pin anything on you.
