I doubt that's what
knocked the capsule off trajectory.

1:17:08
Unless the rock was going
at tremendous speed,

1:17:11
or unless it's terribly heavy.
1:17:12
For Pete's sake, Ruth,
it can't be that heavy.

1:17:15
Hall and I could lift the capsule.
1:17:16
However, it's possible the
rock is different in space:

1:17:19
Out there it might do anything.
1:17:20
Maybe it has elastic properties
we don't even know yet.

1:17:23
Let's have a look
at the green patches.

1:17:26
They must've come off the rock,
1:17:29
if it is rock.
1:17:34
You know something?
1:17:36
They do look like spatters of paint.
1:17:40
Let's go back to the rock
and see it at 440.

1:17:51
If that's a meteor,
1:17:53
it's a damn peculiar one.
1:17:56
This left border over here,
1:18:00
it's smooth, almost like
1:18:02
an artificial surface.
1:18:04
Painted, maybe.
1:18:05
Luminous paint.
1:18:06
If I keep watching it,
1:18:08
I might think so.
1:18:10
Wet paint sign and all.
1:18:15
Jeremy?
1:18:17
What?
1:18:21
Nothing.
1:18:23
You okay?
1:18:25
It's just my eyes are tired.
1:18:26
We've been at it five hours straight.
1:18:28
We'll take a caffeine
break in a minute.

1:18:30
First I'd like to see one of the
1:18:32
separate patches of green at 1,000.
1:18:46
Did you see that?
1:18:47
I saw it.
1:18:48
You didn't change the lighting?
1:18:50
I didn't touch it.
1:18:54
Looks alive.
1:18:56
Yes.
1:18:56
It's bigger than two microns.
1:18:58
Which means the infection is spread
