:10:03
You are undoubtedly aware
of our restructuring programs.
:10:07
Losing all telecommunications...
:10:09
...until we're able to replace Ikon
could plunge us into chaos.
:10:15
And perhaps...
:10:16
...even civil war.
:10:21
Hard to believe you fellas
only have one bird up there.
:10:27
Couldn't we just
transfer the workload?
:10:31
Gene. Excuse me, Sara.
:10:34
We have a presidential mandate
to assist the Russians...
:10:38
...our partners in
the International Space Station.
:10:41
And I assure you
that we will fix this problem.
:10:45
It's just a glitch.
:10:48
You are feeding these guys
bold-faced lies.
:10:51
It's a waste of money
and my staff's time.
:10:53
Sara, you're one hell
of an engineer...
:10:56
...but you don't know jack-shit
about politics.
:10:58
Helping the Russians save face
is an act of good faith.
:11:02
How can you put a price on that?
:11:10
This thing is dumb as a post.
It's dead in the air.
:11:13
Kid, why don't you stop trying
to talk to the satellite?
:11:16
You have the code.
Override the guidance system.
:11:20
You want to figure that mess out?
:11:23
The guidance system on this thing
is a dinosaur.
:11:25
Even these guys don't understand it.
:11:28
It's pre-microprocessor.
It's pre-everything.
:11:31
Whoever designed this
Byzantine piece of shit...
:11:33
...is probably chopping rocks
in Siberia.
:11:36
Ethan, can I access the Skylab files
from here?
:11:40
What does that have
to do with anything?
:11:44
A damn fine politician, but you don't
know jack-shit about engineering.
:11:48
This is the guidance system
from Skylab.
:11:52
That's not possible.
:11:55
Maybe there's similarities,
but they can't be the same.
:11:59
I'm looking up the designer.
