Capsule Page #2

Maybe, without the Americans,

telling us what to do.

Looking forward to Gin & Tonic when you get me back.

It's a deal.

Harry?

Yes, Guy?

Is there a chance I could

talk to Lottie again?

You spoke her a few hours ago.

You have to wait until you land.

Don't worry, Guy.

Keep me updated.

Six hours, 130 miles up.

Four times around the world.

It's enough for me.

Hermes, this is Graham. How are you, Taylor?

Oh! I'm splendid, Graham.

Just waiting on you how to get back home.

I've been watching everything carefully.

But I need you to confirm a few readings before we start.

Roger that.

We've been just going through the diagnostics now.

It's saying Oxygen is at 19 still?

One-nine. Is that correct?

Ah... correct.

Good. That seems to be holding steady now.

Now, the fuel level?

It says 30, figures three-zero.

That is correct.

Telemetry tell me you are

ten degrees to pour port.

Can you correct it?

Oh! Graham? There is no response

from the control stick.

Ah! Right. Hold please.

No, Gra...

Graham... don't ask me to hold.

If there is a problem just tell me.

There's nothing we can see on a readout down here.

Hermes still looks good for re-entry.

Alright.

I really need you to put my wife back on, Harry.

I can't.

Please put her back on.

Not right now.

But, we'll try and get her here.

Guy, do me a favor.

Checkout your flight manual. Page 24.

To my Spaceman, I love you Fly safe

Love Lottie

I'm going up.

You got through!?

I did.

Harry said yes, so it's me.

Oh! I'm so happy for you.

For us, Lottie,

this is for our sake.

This is the beginning of something big...

I don't know how much!

I know! I've always known.

The first British man in space.

The first man in space.

Five years as a test pilot and here...

at the frontier of science and technology.

I'm going up.

It's going to be a tough few months.

Yes, in this case. But you are up to it.

You know how tough it was, when the Americans had

you fly over Eastern Europe. I'll be with you.

I'll be by your side. Trust me.

Now tell me everything. I want to know.

The launch is scheduled for December 4th.

It's a one day trip.

So you're home for Christmas then, Mr.Spaceman?

Yes.

Guy? Guy?

You find it?

Yeah I did.

When did you put this on, Harry?

Will I be telling? A man has his secrets.

You... you are full of them.

Thank you.

I'll be home soon.

Yes, you are.

Guy? It's time.

We are ready to go here, after your checks.

Three minutes to window.

Roger that.

Thrusters to auto mode. Check.

Power control to auto. Check.

Reserve System off. Check.

Gyro-stabilizers off. Check.

Suit, Oxygen. On.

Check.

Come on.

Okay, okay.

We hear you clearly. We are ready, going.
