:30:21
Fish: Could I bother
everyone for a minute?
:30:23
Let's take a look
at the big one.
:30:25
Now, the outgassing
has created a vent
:30:28
a half mile wide and
at least 2 miles deep.
:30:31
Comet gets closer to the sun,
sun melts the ice,
:30:32
ice turns to steam,
we get a big hole, OK?
:30:36
So, how many nukes do we
have left in the back?
:30:40
4.
:30:42
If we can get the remaining
bombs in that vent,
:30:47
there shouldn't be anything
left bigger than a suitcase.
:30:51
We can't do anything
about the little one,
:30:53
but it just might
give them a chance.
:30:57
Without the arming codes,
:30:59
we're going to have to wait
to set the bomb timers
:31:01
until we get closer to Earth
to raise Houston.
:31:03
We may not have enough
life support left
:31:06
to get back into
the cargo bay for the nukes,
:31:08
much less to go down
to the comet.
:31:10
We sure as hell don't have
enough propellant left
:31:12
in the Messiah
to manoeuvre with.
:31:15
How are we supposed to get
back off the surface
:31:18
once we've
gotten down there?
:31:25
We don't.
:31:35
Well, look at
the bright side.
:31:38
We'll all have
high schools named after us.
