The needle reached the end of the record.

This is 1:41 of Butch talking to the ground. He has to be glad to be alive after flying that bundle of gremlins.

Off balance ventilation or cooling fan.

We sure spend a lot of money keeping eggheads happy.

How did V’ger assemble such a large vessel? They left that part out.

And what a boring movie. I remember falling asleep with the whole family when we saw it on the big screen.

Anyone know what the purpose of the helium is for?

Sonar sounds, prepare for a water landing.

It is an inert gas, so that is what they use to force the propellants from the tanks to force them into the nozzles on the reaction control system. No helium means no control over the spacecraft.

These astronauts should be thankful that they didn’t die and made it to the space station before their craft killed them.

I pray the problem was a bit more complicated than that, but you summed it up completely in 2 sentences. That makes me sad. How can you fly in a plane, let alone into outer space with these guys anywhere on the payroll?

That sounds like a magneto hydrodynamic drive, but there is no noise in space to hear the soviets sneaking up on you.

Well , it’s a Boeing craft nd Boeing engineers so I would guess that it a helium leak alarm.

It's the seatbelt warning. How can they let the ship fly unmanned while the seatbelt warning is continuously beeping all the way home?
