Movie quotes

  • (..) Houston, in the blind, we have a visual of the ISS. The station must have been evacuated because the first Soyuz is missing. The second Soyuz exhibits surface damage, and its chute has been deployed. Any use as an escape pod for re-entry is impossible. Shouldn't we be turning? We're drifting again. (..)
