- Quotes
Margo Madison: Apollo 25, Houston. That's a no-go on a rescue attempt. Set up for reentry on the next orbit.
Tracy Stevens: Dennis?
Dennis Lambert: I'm with you, Trace.
Tracy Stevens: Screw that, Houston. I'm not leaving Molly up here to die.
Margo Madison: Not your call, Stevens.
Tracy Stevens: The hell it's not. I am the pilot in command of this ship and the final authority as to the safety of this flight. I'm going after her.
Molly Cobb: Forget it, Stevens. I'm not losing my ship because you wanna play hero.
Tracy Stevens: Yeah, well, it's not your ship until you come back aboard, Cobb. And, Houston? Gordo may be one crazy son of a bitch, but he knows this spacecraft better than anybody. So you put him back on, now.

Now for the rest. One big portion of the episode was dedicated to a situation that would raise an eyebrow in any fantasy show. A completely manufactured drama that could have been easily avoided if all or at least one of the highly trained and well equipped professional would've had followed protocol and orders. But okay, they didn't. Proceeding this incident, the writers gave flight director Margo a heartbreaking dilemma, only to take it away from her because an astronaut said "screw you flight director and scientists, this is my ship!" With the power of love, hope, and the will even physics can be conquered. Watch the episode and when watching it keep in mind that the ISS has an orbital speed of 8km/s or 5 miles per second. So around 16 orbits around the Earth under 24 hours.
After that completely artificial tension that took half the episode and gave nothing to the show as it stripped away the only moral choice it could have dealt with, we once again get to meet our hero and protagonist, whose brief appearance leaves you wondering, "is this really who I should be rooting for?"
