Million Dollar Sunday Tournament every Sunday

2
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:09,435
We could not have been
more wrong all of this.

3
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,609
I'm not quite sure
what time I'll be home,

4
00:01:17,611 --> 00:01:20,145
maybe around...
7:00 or 8:00 tonight.

5
00:01:20,147 --> 00:01:21,780
Um...

6
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:25,551
I was telling you about this...
Filming thing we got going on.

7
00:01:25,553 --> 00:01:28,253
You know, I was telling you they do
these internal communication things

8
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:30,322
at the space agency.

9
00:01:30,324 --> 00:01:33,092
Anyway, they asked me if, um,

10
00:01:33,094 --> 00:01:35,527
they could, sort of,
have a day in the life.

11
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:39,431
They want to do day in the life of some
of the senior members of the agencies.

12
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:41,433
Um, I'm not...
So how does this work?

13
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:43,635
Should... are you guys
rolling now or...?

14
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:45,370
Yeah, that's why they're here.

15
00:01:45,372 --> 00:01:47,840
Hello, everybody,
welcome to our home.

16
00:01:47,842 --> 00:01:50,476
Um... this is
my lovely daughter, Mary.

17
00:01:50,478 --> 00:01:51,810
- Hi.
- She's a good girl.

18
00:01:51,812 --> 00:01:53,579
She's at university.

19
00:01:53,581 --> 00:01:56,748
And, uh, she's very smart
like her mom.

20
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:59,351
Is it, like, going on the telly?

21
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:02,354
Mm-mm.
I'm not going on telly.

22
00:02:02,356 --> 00:02:05,524
No, it's just for internal...
Communications.

23
00:02:05,526 --> 00:02:07,292
- It's so they have a kind of resource.
- Okay.

24
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:08,393
Mm-hmm.

25
00:02:08,395 --> 00:02:09,795
Oh, right, okay.

26
00:02:09,797 --> 00:02:11,163
Okay, I'm gonna change.

27
00:02:11,165 --> 00:02:12,264
All right, sweetie.

28
00:02:12,266 --> 00:02:14,166
Okay. See you in a bit.

29
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:16,668
She's a bit shy.

30
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:17,769
Can I get you guys a coffee

31
00:02:17,771 --> 00:02:19,438
or a tea or...?

32
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:25,744
Well, I mean, obviously
she's incredibly inspiring.

33
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:28,780
Um, I think,
especially nowadays,

34
00:02:28,782 --> 00:02:31,583
uh, to, like, have a mum who's

35
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:36,421
the head of, you know, one of the
biggest international space agencies.

36
00:02:36,423 --> 00:02:38,257
Obviously, my mom's Canadian,

37
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:39,825
um, but my dad was British.

38
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:41,927
They met, uh, at university.

39
00:02:41,929 --> 00:02:44,930
He was doing a semester.

40
00:02:44,932 --> 00:02:47,533
He was very special,
very special man.

41
00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:49,568
He was a peacekeeper.

42
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:50,802
Yeah.

43
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:54,573
Yeah.

44
00:02:54,575 --> 00:02:57,409
We don't talk him that much,
I suppose.

45
00:02:57,411 --> 00:02:59,278
As much as we should.

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,812
Oh, no.

47
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:03,282
Um... I'm really sorry,
I think I have to get this.

48
00:03:03,284 --> 00:03:05,551
Just... sorry,
bear with me one moment.

49
00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:08,453
Hello?

50
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:13,492
What?

51
00:03:13,494 --> 00:03:14,626
You're kidding me.

52
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:21,667
Uh, no, I can be there
in about 25 minutes or so.

53
00:03:21,669 --> 00:03:23,835
Yeah, yeah, just, uh,
just hang tight.

54
00:03:23,837 --> 00:03:25,704
Ask... yeah, get Alex on it.

55
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:28,340
Just tell...
Okay, good, he knows.

56
00:03:28,342 --> 00:03:30,709
No, no, no, just, uh,
just hang tight.

57
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:33,345
Um, I'll be right there,
hang on. Okay.

58
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:35,380
I'm so sorry, babe.

59
00:03:35,382 --> 00:03:36,381
Uh...

60
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:37,583
Something has come up.

61
00:03:37,585 --> 00:03:39,585
I'm really sorry.
I have to go.

62
00:03:41,689 --> 00:03:43,922
ISS, be advised.

63
00:03:43,924 --> 00:03:47,459
Thermal increase detected
in nodes two and three.

64
00:03:47,461 --> 00:03:52,231
I repeat, thermal increase
detected in nodes two and three.

65
00:03:52,233 --> 00:03:55,934
Permission to attempt top hover
and reboot of node two.

66
00:03:55,936 --> 00:03:59,004
ISS, please confirm
to mission control

67
00:03:59,006 --> 00:04:02,274
when you are ready to proceed
with the module rack replacement.

68
00:04:02,276 --> 00:04:05,344
3va hatch in three, two, one.

69
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:11,016
Unity node,
module visibility confirmed.

70
00:04:11,018 --> 00:04:13,719
Copy that, Jim.

71
00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:16,722
Jim to Francois, come in.

72
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:19,558
Reading you loud and clear, Jim.

73
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,995
Good 'cause you owe me
big time, over.

74
00:04:22,997 --> 00:04:24,997
ISS, copy that.

75
00:04:24,999 --> 00:04:26,765
Connecting additional
cable harnesses

76
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:29,835
for electrical
and data systems rerouting.

77
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:32,704
Fluid lines check confirmed
for thermal control.

78
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:34,273
Copy that, Jim.

79
00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:36,441
Data systems routing
is good to go.

80
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:37,713
Copy that. Making my way back...

81
00:04:39,813 --> 00:04:42,047
Receiving interference
with your last transmission.

82
00:04:42,049 --> 00:04:44,016
Can you please repeat?

83
00:04:44,018 --> 00:04:45,751
Can you confirm a strange sound

84
00:04:45,753 --> 00:04:48,053
being picked up by our radios?

85
00:04:48,055 --> 00:04:50,455
We don't recognize
that frequency band.

86
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:53,792
Please check and confirm
if this is a comms breach.

87
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,761
Uh, that's a negative.

88
00:04:55,763 --> 00:04:57,596
All radio frequency bands
are nominal.

89
00:04:57,598 --> 00:04:58,597
Whatever that sound is,

90
00:04:58,599 --> 00:05:00,532
it's not coming from us.

91
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:05,804
Whoa.

92
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,873
Mission control,
you seeing what I'm seeing?

93
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:10,342
We seem to have lost
your video uplink.

94
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:13,312
Please elaborate on
your last transmission.

95
00:05:13,314 --> 00:05:17,082
It looks like some kind
of solar storm disturbance.

96
00:05:17,084 --> 00:05:19,351
Francois, do you see this?

97
00:05:19,353 --> 00:05:20,986
Jim, I see it.

98
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:23,755
Whatever that is, it's
disrupting our communication.

99
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:26,358
Were there any solar storms
expected to be coming our way?

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,559
That's a negative, Jim.

101
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:29,494
No solar storms
have been reported.

102
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:31,663
It looks like the fourth of July
up here right now.

103
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,031
Heavy vibrations.

104
00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,566
I can see it on the panels.

105
00:05:34,568 --> 00:05:35,734
Whoa!

106
00:05:35,736 --> 00:05:37,836
Francois, engage the airlock.

107
00:05:39,073 --> 00:05:40,672
Airlock engaged.

108
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,107
I'm making my way back, but...

109
00:05:42,109 --> 00:05:44,476
This is so bright,
I'm being blinded right now.

110
00:05:44,478 --> 00:05:47,579
Jim, it looks like your tether
is becoming unstable.

111
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,848
We suggest you use the handle
grips to maneuver.

112
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:51,450
I can feel tension
on this thing.

113
00:05:51,452 --> 00:05:52,984
I'm gonna have to disengage.

114
00:05:52,986 --> 00:05:54,419
I got to disconnect this thing
if I'm gonna get back.

115
00:05:54,421 --> 00:05:55,887
Jim...

116
00:05:55,889 --> 00:05:57,723
I can't see anything.
My tether...

117
00:05:57,725 --> 00:06:01,026
My tether, I can feel is tense.

118
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,861
Come in, Jim.
Tell me what you see.

119
00:06:09,136 --> 00:06:11,536
It's still not known exactly

120
00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:13,605
what caused the power outage
on the ISS,

121
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:16,775
but what's complexing is that

122
00:06:16,777 --> 00:06:18,577
all of the satellites
that were in orbit

123
00:06:18,579 --> 00:06:21,980
were affected at the exact same
moment as well.

124
00:06:21,982 --> 00:06:24,750
Now, of course,
the tragic outcome

125
00:06:24,752 --> 00:06:27,652
is that astronaut Jim Marcell
is currently missing,

126
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:29,421
presumed dead.

127
00:06:29,423 --> 00:06:33,658
And... it's possible that
his tether was disconnected

128
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,394
during the incident.

129
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:39,898
Uh, well, firstly, I just...

130
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,134
Want to say that, uh,
I've known Jim for a long time

131
00:06:42,136 --> 00:06:45,036
so, um, obviously this
is a very difficult time,

132
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:47,439
but we've...
We've got to get on.

133
00:06:47,441 --> 00:06:49,641
We've got to find out
what happened.

134
00:06:49,643 --> 00:06:51,143
Um...

135
00:06:51,145 --> 00:06:54,746
We have a lot of footage
that's come down

136
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,848
from, um, the ISS.

137
00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:01,420
And we've got a team now that's
going through that frame by frame,

138
00:07:01,422 --> 00:07:03,588
and we don't know
what it is yet.

139
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,091
Uh, we do know that it's not
a solar flare,

140
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:09,594
we know that it's not
an electrical storm.

141
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,073
This isn't the first time

142
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:24,810
that an anomaly has appeared
above our planet.

143
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:28,013
We first encountered it in 1990.

144
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:30,682
And it was visible
for about two months.

145
00:07:30,684 --> 00:07:33,051
But before we could get
any further data,

146
00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:35,020
any meaningful data,

147
00:07:35,022 --> 00:07:38,190
it vanished,
never to be seen again,

148
00:07:38,192 --> 00:07:39,758
until now.

149
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,493
Yeah, good morning.

150
00:07:41,495 --> 00:07:42,861
Yeah.

151
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:44,490
Yeah, I will update you
as soon as I'm in.

152
00:07:46,098 --> 00:07:48,667
Well, um...

153
00:07:48,669 --> 00:07:50,535
Basically, when I got the call,

154
00:07:50,537 --> 00:07:53,872
um, I'd been asleep
for about 45 minutes.

155
00:07:53,874 --> 00:07:55,974
I've been working on a project
for the last eight months,

156
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:59,077
um, so it's been pretty intense.

157
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,146
They wouldn't tell me
anything on the phone,

158
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,081
space agency protocol,

159
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,150
only that it was
of a classified nature,

160
00:08:05,152 --> 00:08:08,553
which requires my expertise in
the field of gravitational waves

161
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:10,188
and space anomalies.

162
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:13,058
The idea that this anomaly

163
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:16,661
is emitting some form of
gravitational wave surprised us all,

164
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:21,132
and it was definitely outside
anything predicted by science.

165
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:24,536
What could cause
such a phenomena?

166
00:08:24,538 --> 00:08:27,272
I don't know yet.

167
00:08:27,274 --> 00:08:30,542
This morning,
the space agency reported that

168
00:08:30,544 --> 00:08:33,812
astronaut Jim Marcel was killed
by incoming space debris

169
00:08:33,814 --> 00:08:36,915
whilst on a maintenance mission
on the ISS.

170
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:40,185
A space agency spokesperson
said this is a tragic incident.

171
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:43,188
But Jim Marcell was
passionate about his job,

172
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,290
and their condolences
go to his family.

173
00:08:49,795 --> 00:08:51,730
A name was given
to this anomaly.

174
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,098
We started calling it
"the void",

175
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:56,701
which is way better
than "anomaly 234-b."

176
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:59,070
it had the appearance...

177
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:01,773
Well, similar to the remnants
of a supernova.

178
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:04,042
But, due to its proximity
to earth,

179
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:06,678
we knew it was something
completely different.

180
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,280
But during its appearance,

181
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:11,917
we also detected
a short-burst radio wave

182
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,085
and the signal was...
It was...

183
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:16,821
Transmitted in a very
specific frequency,

184
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:18,156
1420 megahertz.

185
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:36,808
This 1420 megahertz frequency,

186
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:40,145
a very strange
and complex phenomenon,

187
00:09:40,147 --> 00:09:41,880
also known as
the "hydrogen line,"

188
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:45,183
the radio astronomers

189
00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:47,919
who first recorded it,

190
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:51,656
they chased their tails trying
to find the source of the...

191
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,158
Of the signal,

192
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,826
to no avail.

193
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:56,061
And then it disappeared.

194
00:09:58,197 --> 00:10:00,932
All these years later,

195
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,101
we're still trying
to find the source.

196
00:10:04,805 --> 00:10:07,038
Never reoccurred.

197
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,308
If we miss any opportunity
to investigate this now,

198
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:14,145
we may have to wait for another
25 years for it to reappear,

199
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:17,048
if it reappears.

200
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:19,884
And what we need to know is,

201
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:21,653
who put it there?

202
00:10:21,655 --> 00:10:24,089
Where did it come from?

203
00:10:24,091 --> 00:10:26,358
Is it intelligent?

204
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,093
Is it trying to
communicate with us?

205
00:10:28,095 --> 00:10:31,062
I mean, these are the questions
that we need answers to.

206
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:35,867
So we have reconnaissance
probes in orbit

207
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:39,938
to do routine external examinations of
spacecraft and satellites in orbit,

208
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:42,407
as well as
planetary exploration,

209
00:10:42,409 --> 00:10:44,042
when the time comes.

210
00:10:44,044 --> 00:10:46,044
So I made a call to authorize

211
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:48,947
a probe be sent on a recon
mission into the void.

212
00:10:55,921 --> 00:10:58,857
Maneuvering in space
isn't quite as simple

213
00:10:58,859 --> 00:11:01,126
as it's often portrayed
in the movies.

214
00:11:01,128 --> 00:11:05,096
Um, to move from
one orbit to another

215
00:11:05,098 --> 00:11:07,232
takes quite a lot of energy.

216
00:11:07,234 --> 00:11:12,404
So we had to...
Adjust the craft's orbit

217
00:11:12,406 --> 00:11:17,175
to intersect
with that of the void.

218
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:19,444
If something goes wrong here
with the probes,

219
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:20,979
that might be it.

220
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:23,882
It might be our only chance
to have a look.

221
00:12:30,883 --> 00:12:34,519
We always expected
to lose communication,

222
00:12:34,521 --> 00:12:38,857
just not necessarily that soon.

223
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:41,826
But, thankfully,
all is not lost.

224
00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:45,363
Our probes are fitted with
state-of-the-art, high-definition cameras

225
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:48,767
that stream directly
to our servers here.

226
00:12:48,769 --> 00:12:54,272
And, even in that brief,
briefest of windows,

227
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:59,177
we were able
to maintain a signal,

228
00:12:59,179 --> 00:13:00,912
and we captured imagery.

229
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:07,118
As our probe moved closer,

230
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,954
we noticed this
tunnel-like structure,

231
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:12,357
just directly ahead of us.

232
00:13:12,359 --> 00:13:16,094
Now, have a look at this
light at the center.

233
00:13:16,096 --> 00:13:21,199
This is light and cosmic matter
entering and leaving,

234
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:24,402
so what we're potentially
looking at here

235
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:26,471
is a wormhole.

236
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:30,408
And, you know, we all know that
there is an entrance and an exit,

237
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:32,577
so if this indeed a wormhole,

238
00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:34,813
then the next question is,

239
00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:38,116
what is on the other side
of the void?

240
00:13:38,118 --> 00:13:40,885
It looks like we're dealing
with a wormhole.

241
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:43,154
We still need to run more data

242
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:46,391
and have a look over all the
images that we've been sent back,

243
00:13:46,393 --> 00:13:50,829
just to know exactly
what we're dealing with here.

244
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:53,598
Technically, this is
not a wormhole, huh?

245
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,234
Well, not in my opinion.

246
00:13:56,236 --> 00:13:58,303
In the case of the void...

247
00:13:58,305 --> 00:14:04,108
Well, we are sure
that an entry point exists.

248
00:14:04,110 --> 00:14:06,277
We call it "the throat."

249
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:09,881
The question is whether
a second throat exists,

250
00:14:09,883 --> 00:14:11,850
an exit point.

251
00:14:11,852 --> 00:14:15,453
Would whatever we send in there
emerge the other side

252
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:19,090
or would it remain stuck there
for eternity?

253
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,262
Our finding was
a little bit like, uh,

254
00:14:24,264 --> 00:14:27,432
jumping and looking
over a really high wall,

255
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:30,869
but only getting a glimpse
of what's on the other side.

256
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:34,405
However, each time you jump, you
capture a little bit more information.

257
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:40,111
And what began to emerge for us
was a kind of flash frame

258
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:43,414
of what appeared to be a
spherical shape in the distance.

259
00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:46,184
Now, upon closer examination

260
00:14:46,186 --> 00:14:49,187
of this flash frame,

261
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:54,959
we began to see the potential for
this spherical shape to be...

262
00:14:54,961 --> 00:14:56,194
Another planet.

263
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:07,205
We could be looking at the first
contact with intelligent life.

264
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:09,574
That is a major possibility
that we're looking at right now.

265
00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:13,144
Now we have something,

266
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:16,080
something really big.

267
00:15:16,082 --> 00:15:18,283
Perhaps too big.

268
00:15:18,285 --> 00:15:20,451
I don't think we're prepared

269
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:23,288
or have the resources
to investigate further.

270
00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:26,257
I mean,
something of this magnitude.

271
00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:33,298
I want to send
our astronauts up there.

272
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,600
I understand what happened to Jim Marcell.
I can appreciate that.

273
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:40,271
I want it noted
that I flatly object.

274
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:43,274
I cannot support that.

275
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,043
The reality is that
we have to get information.

276
00:15:45,045 --> 00:15:47,211
How are we going to get it?

277
00:15:47,213 --> 00:15:49,013
We can't continue
to send probes up there,

278
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:51,182
they don't have the capability.

279
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:54,185
We need to be in communication

280
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:56,321
with somebody on the other side.

281
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:59,057
Same conversation
for the next two years.

282
00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:02,327
If we miss the window,
we miss our opportunity.

283
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:03,728
What stage are the probes at?

284
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,330
What stage are we at
with their development?

285
00:16:05,332 --> 00:16:07,532
We've lost them.
They went through,

286
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,367
and we have no signal
whatsoever.

287
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:11,302
Totally interrupted,
totally blacked out.

288
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:14,973
It say here that so far we've
lost a total of, uh,

289
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:19,610
$3.5 million in technology
with the probes.

290
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:23,081
It's not a bottom-line thing here,
we're not talking about a spreadsheet,

291
00:16:23,083 --> 00:16:26,417
we're talking about probably one of the
most important things that has happened

292
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:28,987
in... in space exploration,

293
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:30,488
and I think we need to
move forward on that

294
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:32,223
and I think we need to
move forward now.

295
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:33,458
What do you suggest?

296
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:35,293
Our immediate focus

297
00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:37,628
is to define this mission.

298
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:41,199
Several ideas were discussed, but nobody's
interested in sending more probes.

299
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:45,003
The determination was to
finance a full mission.

300
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:48,039
And we were able to raise
a large sum of funding.

301
00:16:48,041 --> 00:16:50,308
In fact, the largest sum
of funding ever raised

302
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:53,211
in the history of
space exploration.

303
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:55,413
Because...

304
00:16:55,415 --> 00:16:59,684
The mere glimpse of a
potentially habitable planet,

305
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:03,354
well, I have to tell you, that
raised an awful lot of interest.

306
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:06,457
Regardless, it was agreed upon
to keep this mission classified,

307
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:07,592
for now.

308
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:09,460
A complete media blackout,

309
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:11,729
until we have
a greater understanding

310
00:17:11,731 --> 00:17:15,033
of what exactly it is
we're dealing with.

311
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:18,503
The first step we took was to
provide a cover story to the media

312
00:17:18,505 --> 00:17:22,540
in order to provide a distraction
as part of the media blackout.

313
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:25,343
In time, we will provide
full disclosure to the media,

314
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:28,513
but, right now, the space agency
feels that the public

315
00:17:28,515 --> 00:17:32,683
is just not ready to know about
the mission involving the void.

316
00:17:38,590 --> 00:17:41,125
This notion of the...

317
00:17:41,127 --> 00:17:44,228
Space agency's
to send a human astronaut

318
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,698
through to the other side...

319
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,069
It's not going to happen.

320
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:56,074
Because, physically,
we as human beings

321
00:17:56,076 --> 00:18:00,445
couldn't possibly endure
the extreme stresses

322
00:18:00,447 --> 00:18:03,748
that such a venture
would entail.

323
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:05,783
For decades,
we've been developing suits

324
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:09,153
to protect our astronauts
from the dangers of space.

325
00:18:09,155 --> 00:18:11,689
What we're gonna need
to do now to...

326
00:18:11,691 --> 00:18:15,793
To protect our astronauts from travelling
through the void is something...

327
00:18:15,795 --> 00:18:19,097
Quite frankly, I don't think we have
the technological capabilities to do.

328
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:26,471
As I've implied
a few times before,

329
00:18:26,473 --> 00:18:32,376
sending a human astronaut
would be suicidal.

330
00:18:32,378 --> 00:18:36,514
In order to survive a wormhole,

331
00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:39,717
he or she would have to endure

332
00:18:39,719 --> 00:18:43,387
gravitational waves that would
spaghetti-fy them.

333
00:18:45,858 --> 00:18:48,359
The only feasible,

334
00:18:48,361 --> 00:18:50,661
though problematic, solution

335
00:18:50,663 --> 00:18:53,631
would be to use
robotics or probes.

336
00:19:34,174 --> 00:19:35,606
People all over the world
are reporting

337
00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:37,942
strange activities in the skies.

338
00:19:37,944 --> 00:19:40,444
Civilians from New York,
Australia and Asia

339
00:19:40,446 --> 00:19:42,180
are reporting what can
only be described

340
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:44,448
as a terrifying distortion
of clouds.

341
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:45,917
I think they're doing
some kind of project.

342
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:48,886
Maybe they're testing some
new weather machine.

343
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:50,488
It was pulsating.

344
00:19:50,490 --> 00:19:53,257
Like, with light kind of.

345
00:19:53,259 --> 00:19:55,426
It just, like... you could see
the clouds moving.

346
00:19:55,428 --> 00:19:56,861
It's really scary.

347
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:05,603
We're receiving new data
from the void.

348
00:20:05,605 --> 00:20:06,837
We weren't expecting this.

349
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,239
Not so soon.

350
00:20:20,919 --> 00:20:23,354
So over recent weeks,

351
00:20:23,356 --> 00:20:26,424
our orbiting satellites
have been observing the void

352
00:20:26,426 --> 00:20:29,860
and collecting
as much data as possible.

353
00:20:29,862 --> 00:20:32,830
We can see that the void
has been emitting

354
00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:35,299
a series of invisible waves.

355
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:37,902
And it's this
invisible wavelength

356
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,972
that has been
growing and expanding

357
00:20:40,974 --> 00:20:44,508
at a very, very fast rate.

358
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:47,545
And we believe
that this activity

359
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:49,413
occurred at the same time

360
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,582
as the strange dark orbs

361
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:54,652
that have been appearing
in our skies.

362
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:57,521
So we have, um, run this
information through

363
00:20:57,523 --> 00:20:59,490
our simulator to predict
its activity

364
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:01,559
based on what we currently know.

365
00:21:01,561 --> 00:21:06,831
The simulation is
forecasting a storm

366
00:21:06,833 --> 00:21:09,867
of invisible forces,

367
00:21:09,869 --> 00:21:12,837
which could consist of
dark matter and velocity fields

368
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:16,641
and other unknown fields
and waves

369
00:21:16,643 --> 00:21:17,775
that we know nothing about.

370
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:24,282
So when this storm reaches us,

371
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:26,417
our planet will be in the midst

372
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:30,855
of what could be
a huge cosmic wave.

373
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:38,929
Since the appearance of
the black orbs in our skies,

374
00:21:38,931 --> 00:21:41,732
each nation's defense department
has declared the situation

375
00:21:41,734 --> 00:21:44,769
as a global security threat.

376
00:21:44,771 --> 00:21:48,005
The defense department reached
out to us in the space agency.

377
00:21:48,007 --> 00:21:52,510
They realized our problem with
sending astronauts through the void.

378
00:21:52,512 --> 00:21:54,011
They believed
they had a solution

379
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:57,348
and they directed us to their
transhumanism division.

380
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:41,659
When we learned about
the space agency's problem

381
00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:43,794
of sending astronauts
through the void,

382
00:22:43,796 --> 00:22:46,030
we offered our classified
technologies as a solution,

383
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:49,667
but, frankly, I don't think
they have an alternative.

384
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:52,036
Within the defense research
and tech divisions

385
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:53,871
were classified programs,

386
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:56,407
and they were taking place within
the areas of neuroscience,

387
00:22:56,409 --> 00:22:59,910
transhumanism and synthetic
biology for advanced soldiers.

388
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:02,546
Now, you see, these programs
were classified

389
00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:04,048
for the obvious reasons
of ethics

390
00:23:04,050 --> 00:23:06,751
and were definitely not
sanctioned officially

391
00:23:06,753 --> 00:23:08,018
by the government as such.

392
00:23:10,989 --> 00:23:13,457
Particularly,
the human 2.0 program

393
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:14,859
because the nature
of the technology,

394
00:23:14,861 --> 00:23:17,828
utilizing the fusion
of human cells

395
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:20,131
with synthetic biochemical
structures

396
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:24,735
to create a new body powered by
the soldier's preserved brain.

397
00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:32,843
The brain can live
without a body,

398
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:35,613
but the body can't live
without its brain.

399
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:39,850
It's that simple notion which
drives the human 2.0 project.

400
00:23:39,852 --> 00:23:42,586
Our aim was to
create a prosthesis

401
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:44,622
that could house
the human brain,

402
00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:46,590
a substitute body.

403
00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:49,760
But most importantly,
we wanted it to be recognizable

404
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:51,028
as a human.

405
00:23:54,566 --> 00:23:57,168
Okay, I'm gonna up the back
if you want to have a look.

406
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:05,776
Okay, so this compartment
here's gonna house the brain.

407
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:08,946
And you see the red
jell-o-looking substance here?

408
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:10,915
So that's actually
a coolant gel,

409
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:12,950
and it travels
throughout the body,

410
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:16,053
and it houses millions
of tiny fiber optic threads

411
00:24:16,055 --> 00:24:19,623
connecting the brain right down
to all the synthetic muscles,

412
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:22,760
and even to really
superficial sensors.

413
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:24,662
But the brain's gonna
sit in here.

414
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:26,964
And the gel also acts
as a shock absorber,

415
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:31,202
so should the human 2.0
receive any impact,

416
00:24:31,204 --> 00:24:34,505
the gel will dissipate any force
protecting the brain.

417
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:37,775
But here let me,
let me show you this.

418
00:24:37,777 --> 00:24:39,243
Okay.

419
00:24:42,781 --> 00:24:45,015
Don't worry, he's not alive.

420
00:24:45,017 --> 00:24:47,017
That's just a synaptic
nerve reflex.

421
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:50,921
Uh... but a transplant hasn't
been made into this body yet,

422
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:54,058
so, essentially,
it's just a body.

423
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:57,528
Um... it's like... a bit like
a computer without a hard drive.

424
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:07,271
In the recent week, we have
covertly searched the globe

425
00:25:07,273 --> 00:25:11,842
for candidates who are willing
to push the barriers of science.

426
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:15,513
Now, officially, the selected
candidates will be on a mission

427
00:25:15,515 --> 00:25:18,916
to the international space
station to conduct research.

428
00:25:18,918 --> 00:25:22,152
However, once the transplant
takes place,

429
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:24,755
they can never return
to the lives they left behind.

430
00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:28,993
Their families will be informed

431
00:25:28,995 --> 00:25:31,829
and will be given
an appropriate explanation

432
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:36,066
that will, of course, protect the
mission and the space agency.

433
00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:39,136
A closed-casket funeral
will take place

434
00:25:39,138 --> 00:25:41,872
to provide closure
to the families.

435
00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:47,311
Now, for the record, um...

436
00:25:47,313 --> 00:25:49,647
Do you understand the classified
nature of this mission

437
00:25:49,649 --> 00:25:52,917
and the legal non-disclosure
agreements that you sign,

438
00:25:52,919 --> 00:25:56,053
which prohibit you from ever
discussing this projects

439
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:57,755
to anyone outside of this room?

440
00:25:57,757 --> 00:25:59,657
I understand.

441
00:25:59,659 --> 00:26:02,593
Then you understand
the full nature of this program?

442
00:26:02,595 --> 00:26:04,828
Yes, I'm fully aware.

443
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:07,598
And what do you feel
your strongest asset is

444
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,833
that'd you be bringing
to this mission?

445
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:14,104
I'm hoping to bring to this
mission my virology expertise.

446
00:26:14,106 --> 00:26:16,073
Military background,

447
00:26:16,075 --> 00:26:18,208
and in the short time I've been
in the space program,

448
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:20,311
I have rised the ranks faster

449
00:26:20,313 --> 00:26:23,581
than anyone in the history
of the space program.

450
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:24,882
But you know this.

451
00:26:24,884 --> 00:26:28,686
It's... it's the unknown.

452
00:26:28,688 --> 00:26:32,356
It's the possibility of
something else out there for us.

453
00:26:32,358 --> 00:26:36,594
Even though there's some...

454
00:26:36,596 --> 00:26:40,731
Pretty scary risks...

455
00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:46,003
To know that there's a chance
to do so much more.

456
00:26:46,005 --> 00:26:48,672
Well, I think it's in our nature

457
00:26:48,674 --> 00:26:51,842
to want to rise
above our limits.

458
00:26:51,844 --> 00:26:54,778
I feel that I want to do
something great, you know?

459
00:26:54,780 --> 00:26:58,148
Like, I want to be like my dad
and be remembered for something.

460
00:27:03,221 --> 00:27:06,924
Sure, I've spent
the great majority of my life

461
00:27:06,926 --> 00:27:10,027
in a chair.

462
00:27:10,029 --> 00:27:12,763
Half of my body does not work,

463
00:27:12,765 --> 00:27:14,331
I do not want sympathy for that.

464
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:17,167
I have come to terms with that.

465
00:27:17,169 --> 00:27:20,971
I've made my peace with that.

466
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:22,873
Sure, for...

467
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:26,710
Also for most of my life,
I have dreamed

468
00:27:26,712 --> 00:27:31,281
of being and doing
something more.

469
00:27:31,283 --> 00:27:33,951
And part of coming to terms
with my situation

470
00:27:33,953 --> 00:27:36,153
is resigning myself
to the fact that that,

471
00:27:36,155 --> 00:27:38,956
that is not something that could
happen, happen for me.

472
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:43,160
I will not... be...

473
00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:46,196
The person I thought I could be.

474
00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:47,698
What you're doing
right now, sir,

475
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,999
is presenting me with a chance

476
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,669
to fulfill that dream,

477
00:27:51,671 --> 00:27:53,904
that desire.

478
00:27:53,906 --> 00:27:57,007
I have cancer, I...

479
00:27:57,009 --> 00:28:00,244
If my body is limiting me,
then I need to go beyond that.

480
00:28:00,246 --> 00:28:02,079
This is the only way
I can do it.

481
00:28:02,081 --> 00:28:03,414
Are you sure that you're aware

482
00:28:03,416 --> 00:28:05,215
that this is...

483
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:06,917
A one-way ticket?

484
00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:09,987
We select, not only
on physical prowess,

485
00:28:09,989 --> 00:28:12,823
but also on
the ability to emote,

486
00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:16,760
to... to be empathetic.

487
00:28:16,762 --> 00:28:20,064
Could I go through
with the procedure?

488
00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:23,133
There's just too many ethical
issues to think about.

489
00:28:23,135 --> 00:28:26,203
There would have to be
a massive, massive reason

490
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,338
for me to go ahead
with something like that.

491
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:31,408
And, uh, I can't think of one.

492
00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:34,311
So, no, couldn't do it.

493
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,922
The subjects would have
to pass a series of tests

494
00:28:44,924 --> 00:28:48,292
as well as internal exams
from our psychologist,

495
00:28:48,294 --> 00:28:52,029
and fitness and medical checks.

496
00:28:52,031 --> 00:28:54,798
The process in itself
is painless.

497
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,401
The subject will be administered
a cocktail of drugs

498
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:59,203
by I.V. Drips,

499
00:28:59,205 --> 00:29:02,372
which will stop the heart
for a few hours.

500
00:29:02,374 --> 00:29:05,309
Simulating a peaceful death.

501
00:29:05,311 --> 00:29:07,177
The most time-consuming part

502
00:29:07,179 --> 00:29:12,883
is the wiring up, the remapping
of the artificial spinal cords,

503
00:29:12,885 --> 00:29:16,353
connecting to the brain, thus
allowing for mind-body communication

504
00:29:16,355 --> 00:29:17,821
to function,

505
00:29:17,823 --> 00:29:20,457
very much like it does
in each of us.

506
00:29:20,459 --> 00:29:22,760
What you need to
understand is...

507
00:29:22,762 --> 00:29:24,161
It's this fusion process

508
00:29:24,163 --> 00:29:26,130
where the, where the brain

509
00:29:26,132 --> 00:29:29,133
imprints with the synthetic body
and comes together,

510
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:32,970
that's the creation
of the human 2.0.

511
00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:35,072
That's the marvel.

512
00:29:35,074 --> 00:29:36,306
But we must remember,

513
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:39,476
these human 2.0s
aren't entirely mortal.

514
00:29:39,478 --> 00:29:43,347
The brain also degenerates
over a period of time.

515
00:29:43,349 --> 00:29:47,918
Now... the difference
being that, unlike humans,

516
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,820
their bodies last much longer,

517
00:29:49,822 --> 00:29:51,922
so the period of life
is extended for much longer,

518
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:54,958
but not forever.

519
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,862
The vetting process for the human
2.0 program is extremely high.

520
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:01,298
Basically these candidates
will become ambassadors,

521
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,901
representing the human race
on the other side,

522
00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:07,838
and are selected based on their
extraordinary cognitive abilities.

523
00:30:19,851 --> 00:30:24,254
We only have two synthetics
available for this program,

524
00:30:24,256 --> 00:30:28,091
so the selection process
has been extremely critical.

525
00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:30,594
We've decided to action
the first transplant

526
00:30:30,596 --> 00:30:34,198
before making
the second selection.

527
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,400
For the first transplant,

528
00:30:36,402 --> 00:30:38,502
uh, Carl Roberts.

529
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:42,539
He's, um, not as academic
perhaps as the other candidates,

530
00:30:42,541 --> 00:30:46,443
but his cognitive skills
are, are...

531
00:30:46,445 --> 00:30:49,213
Beyond our expectations.

532
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,582
When I opened that bit of paper,
it-it...

533
00:30:51,584 --> 00:30:53,417
It contained the information
I wanted it to

534
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:55,385
and I was accepted.

535
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:56,887
Man.

536
00:30:56,889 --> 00:30:58,455
Yeah, that is everything
I wanted, man.

537
00:30:58,457 --> 00:31:00,490
I'm... I didn't know if I'd said

538
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:03,060
everything I needed to say
in that interview.

539
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:05,295
I can't describe the excitement
I feel right now.

540
00:31:05,297 --> 00:31:06,964
I mean, I'm gonna
get out of this chair.

541
00:31:06,966 --> 00:31:09,199
I'm ready.

542
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:10,267
Bring it on.

543
00:31:11,636 --> 00:31:14,338
He has a certain hunger

544
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:16,940
that this requires.

545
00:31:16,942 --> 00:31:19,309
It's that, um...

546
00:31:19,311 --> 00:31:23,313
Sense of adventure that
will drive this mission.

547
00:31:23,315 --> 00:31:26,149
And we're very,
very pleased that, uh,

548
00:31:26,151 --> 00:31:27,317
that he's on board.

549
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:35,392
Today I'm having
a full-body scan

550
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:37,094
to allow the human 2.0 body

551
00:31:37,096 --> 00:31:40,230
to be as close to me as
possible, warts and all.

552
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:43,000
Apparently, the agents think that
if first contact to be made,

553
00:31:43,002 --> 00:31:45,302
then it should be in human form

554
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:48,205
so that the extraterrestrials
would know what we look like.

555
00:31:48,207 --> 00:31:51,441
It's, uh, it's lucky I'm so
attractive, don't you think?

556
00:31:58,416 --> 00:32:01,251
So the bodyshell is
a breakthrough

557
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:03,587
in nanomaterial technology.

558
00:32:03,589 --> 00:32:05,622
It's made of
a military-grade grapheme,

559
00:32:05,624 --> 00:32:07,991
so millions of its tiny fibers

560
00:32:07,993 --> 00:32:11,695
are woven to make
the bodyshell impenetrable,

561
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:15,198
yet it can also maintain
a flexibility,

562
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,434
which is important
for some areas,

563
00:32:17,436 --> 00:32:20,504
uh, such as the joints.

564
00:32:20,506 --> 00:32:23,340
Its eyes use nano-based optics,

565
00:32:23,342 --> 00:32:27,577
which allow the retina to adjust to
several different lighting conditions.

566
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:31,048
And, yeah, you are
probably wondering why

567
00:32:31,050 --> 00:32:33,317
the human 2.0 is breathing.

568
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:35,652
Uh, well, this is just
one of the many features

569
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:38,989
incorporated to help
feel more familiar.

570
00:32:38,991 --> 00:32:41,458
The breathing effect
is actually caused by

571
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:44,294
a mechanism within
the synthetic body, um,

572
00:32:44,296 --> 00:32:46,330
to help with thermal regulation.

573
00:32:46,332 --> 00:32:50,334
A tight regulation of glucose
and oxygen metabolism

574
00:32:50,336 --> 00:32:53,370
is essential for
brain physiology.

575
00:32:53,372 --> 00:32:57,407
So we developed a compound
called "z02h",

576
00:32:57,409 --> 00:33:01,478
which releases tiny amounts
of electrochems into the brain.

577
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,314
This compound, essentially,

578
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:07,451
it mimics the properties
of glucose and oxygen,

579
00:33:07,453 --> 00:33:11,588
therefore fueling the brain and
keeping it alive organically.

580
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:28,405
The original design
of the spacecraft

581
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:30,640
was intended
for human astronauts,

582
00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:34,678
so we now stripped it bare
of any hardware or technology

583
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,380
needed for life-support systems,

584
00:33:36,382 --> 00:33:39,649
as the 2.0 human group
won't need it,

585
00:33:39,651 --> 00:33:43,420
therefore making it
smaller and lighter,

586
00:33:43,422 --> 00:33:46,123
which means it's faster

587
00:33:46,125 --> 00:33:48,358
and it uses less fuel.

588
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,527
They will be jacked
into the sockets

589
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:52,763
so that we can monitor
their diagnostics.

590
00:33:52,765 --> 00:33:56,199
But it also means that
we can feed information

591
00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:59,269
directly into their
cerebral cortex.

592
00:33:59,271 --> 00:34:02,406
I mean, that's a remarkable
thing, don't you think?

593
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:13,517
First contact, of course, is of the
utmost importance, how it's presented.

594
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:15,318
Concern for us:

595
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,621
What are we communicating to?

596
00:34:17,623 --> 00:34:20,490
What exactly are
we going to discover

597
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:23,226
when we make contact with a...

598
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:26,663
Intelligent extraterrestrial
life form?

599
00:34:26,665 --> 00:34:30,534
Are we thinking in terms
of a human?

600
00:34:30,536 --> 00:34:33,136
Um... perhaps a microbe?

601
00:34:33,138 --> 00:34:35,172
It's very, very difficult
for us.

602
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:39,376
So what we've done is we've put
together a golden archive drive.

603
00:34:39,378 --> 00:34:42,712
This is an upgrade,
it has, um, more visuals,

604
00:34:42,714 --> 00:34:46,283
more sound, videos.

605
00:34:46,285 --> 00:34:49,386
And, uh, well, hopefully,
when we do make first contact,

606
00:34:49,388 --> 00:34:51,688
we will be able to communicate.

607
00:34:51,690 --> 00:34:56,626
And all of the images,
the sounds, uh...

608
00:34:56,628 --> 00:34:59,396
An essence of who we are,

609
00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:02,165
and our intention.

610
00:35:04,403 --> 00:35:06,269
Oh, no, no, no,
it's good, it's good.

611
00:35:06,271 --> 00:35:07,337
I'm all right, sir.

612
00:35:14,412 --> 00:35:15,879
- Thank you.
- There you go.

613
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:19,149
Vitals look good.

614
00:35:19,151 --> 00:35:21,585
Yes, sir, everything works.

615
00:35:21,587 --> 00:35:23,587
Waist up.

616
00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:25,388
Have you been made aware
of the actual proceeding?

617
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:26,690
- Come here.
- Thank you.

618
00:35:26,692 --> 00:35:28,492
Have you been made aware
of the procedure?

619
00:35:28,494 --> 00:35:29,526
Uh, I think so.

620
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,161
I think, uh...

621
00:35:31,163 --> 00:35:32,629
Yeah, quite a bit I don't know.

622
00:35:32,631 --> 00:35:35,332
Okay, well, let me take you
through it step by step.

623
00:35:35,334 --> 00:35:39,769
The only level of,
let's say, um...

624
00:35:39,771 --> 00:35:41,805
Un-comfortability that
you might experience is,

625
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:44,307
just at the very beginning,
we need to make an incision

626
00:35:44,309 --> 00:35:48,778
just around here to be able to
gain access into the spinal cord.

627
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:52,582
You have to look at this
as a procedure.

628
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:55,418
Not everything is going to
happen straight away.

629
00:35:55,420 --> 00:35:59,356
The actual time taken will be
right about three days.

630
00:35:59,358 --> 00:36:02,492
Your awareness begins to
fade very slowly,

631
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:04,461
and your heart rate
will begin to slow down.

632
00:36:04,463 --> 00:36:06,663
As the heart rate slows down,

633
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:10,267
your level of consciousness
will actually expand,

634
00:36:10,269 --> 00:36:12,202
before then beginning
to come down.

635
00:36:12,204 --> 00:36:13,937
Okay, so I'll just fade,
fade out.

636
00:36:13,939 --> 00:36:15,939
That's one...

637
00:36:15,941 --> 00:36:17,908
That's one of being able to...

638
00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:19,776
I go to sleep.

639
00:36:19,778 --> 00:36:21,478
It's a very peaceful sleep.

640
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,547
- All right.
- A very peaceful sleep.

641
00:36:23,549 --> 00:36:25,282
I guess this is
my last interview

642
00:36:25,284 --> 00:36:28,351
before I transplant
into the new body.

643
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:33,590
I wanted to...
Go out into space,

644
00:36:33,592 --> 00:36:36,393
and live there forever
among the stars.

645
00:36:40,565 --> 00:36:44,434
And he told me...

646
00:36:44,436 --> 00:36:46,970
That I could do whatever
I wanted to do.

647
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:51,441
As long as I put my mind to it.

648
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:57,781
So...

649
00:36:57,783 --> 00:36:59,349
This is for you, dad.

650
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,413
The military have been
doing recon fly-bys

651
00:37:30,415 --> 00:37:32,449
to get a closer look
at the spheres.

652
00:37:32,451 --> 00:37:34,918
Now what's complexing
is that the spheres

653
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,821
don't seem to be reacting to us.

654
00:37:37,823 --> 00:37:40,657
The space agency has convinced
leaders of key nations

655
00:37:40,659 --> 00:37:44,361
not to initiate an attack
without us analyzing the data

656
00:37:44,363 --> 00:37:46,963
to further understand
what the spheres are

657
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,766
and what is their connection
to the void.

658
00:37:49,768 --> 00:37:51,935
Our advanced satellite
geomapping indicates

659
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:55,438
that the spheres are scattered
across the entire globe.

660
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,340
Although we don't have
an accurate number,

661
00:37:57,342 --> 00:37:59,943
it's estimated that there are
hundreds of these spheres,

662
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,611
floating in our skies,

663
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,913
with more appearing every day.

664
00:38:03,915 --> 00:38:05,749
The geomapping also revealed
a pattern

665
00:38:05,751 --> 00:38:08,285
within the formation
of the spheres.

666
00:38:08,287 --> 00:38:11,554
It's... it's as if
they are aligning themselves

667
00:38:11,556 --> 00:38:13,623
in preparation for something.

668
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:23,967
At 8:35 this morning,

669
00:38:23,969 --> 00:38:28,938
our first human 2.0 transplant
attempt... failed.

670
00:38:31,375 --> 00:38:33,910
Our subject was pronounced dead.

671
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:56,733
There will be a second attempt
tonight, I presume.

672
00:39:07,878 --> 00:39:10,647
I'm devastated.

673
00:39:10,649 --> 00:39:14,484
We lost someone who was so
supportive of this mission,

674
00:39:14,486 --> 00:39:17,420
of this... of this cause.

675
00:39:22,727 --> 00:39:25,595
But we're losing time.

676
00:39:25,597 --> 00:39:29,032
We have to launch
within a week, and...

677
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:31,434
We can't afford
to lose that window.

678
00:39:31,436 --> 00:39:34,137
Carl's transplant revealed that

679
00:39:34,139 --> 00:39:38,108
the brain couldn't fuse
with the synthetic body.

680
00:39:38,110 --> 00:39:41,678
And it rejected it
during the fusion process.

681
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,680
And, pretty much,

682
00:39:43,682 --> 00:39:45,648
scrambled the brain
synapsis badly.

683
00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:47,817
The brain just overloaded.

684
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:55,759
To prevent another loss,

685
00:39:55,761 --> 00:39:58,661
uh, the idea is to update

686
00:39:58,663 --> 00:40:01,831
the original synthetic
body printing technology

687
00:40:01,833 --> 00:40:05,769
with a new integrated tissue
organ printing system.

688
00:40:05,771 --> 00:40:08,772
Introducing a tiny amount
of the subject's actual cells

689
00:40:08,774 --> 00:40:10,573
into the synthetic gel

690
00:40:10,575 --> 00:40:12,542
means the brain can make
the connection

691
00:40:12,544 --> 00:40:15,478
with something organic
and not freak out

692
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,114
when it comes into contact
with a foreign body structure

693
00:40:18,116 --> 00:40:20,850
it's not used to during
the fusion process.

694
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:31,161
My professional opinion?

695
00:40:31,163 --> 00:40:33,997
This whole thing
is being rushed.

696
00:40:33,999 --> 00:40:35,632
We need more time.

697
00:40:35,634 --> 00:40:37,000
Uh...

698
00:40:37,002 --> 00:40:40,503
Look, the only way
that this could work,

699
00:40:40,505 --> 00:40:43,440
the... the feasibility of it,

700
00:40:43,442 --> 00:40:46,509
is to ensure that the human
transplant is tested

701
00:40:46,511 --> 00:40:48,812
with the enzyme beforehand.

702
00:40:48,814 --> 00:40:51,881
We would need to test
each candidate.

703
00:40:51,883 --> 00:40:53,983
But this would require
several months.

704
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,819
We don't have months
or even weeks,

705
00:40:55,821 --> 00:40:58,488
we're really up against it.

706
00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:01,191
We have the military human 2.0s,
we should deploy with them.

707
00:41:03,093 --> 00:41:06,496
Sending one military human 2.0
is one thing,

708
00:41:06,498 --> 00:41:09,499
but sending two as a replacement

709
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:12,669
to our astronauts...

710
00:41:12,671 --> 00:41:15,672
Well, I think you have
to ask yourself,

711
00:41:15,674 --> 00:41:18,475
"do we want soldiers
representing humanity,

712
00:41:18,477 --> 00:41:20,076
especially in that
state of mind?"

713
00:41:20,078 --> 00:41:22,479
And I can confidently tell you
that that is not something

714
00:41:22,481 --> 00:41:24,848
that I am comfortable with.

715
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:27,650
Thankfully, I have been advised
by my medical science team

716
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:30,019
that there is
a potential solution

717
00:41:30,021 --> 00:41:31,788
which would fit in
our timeframe.

718
00:41:31,790 --> 00:41:33,823
Ever since our probes have been
sending back samples

719
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:36,926
from the moon mining missions,
the Mars rover missions,

720
00:41:36,928 --> 00:41:39,596
those samples have been
kept in storage

721
00:41:39,598 --> 00:41:42,031
in the space agency facility.

722
00:41:42,033 --> 00:41:44,901
As protocol,
we take blood samples

723
00:41:44,903 --> 00:41:48,137
and urine samples
of all space agency staff

724
00:41:48,139 --> 00:41:52,075
to monitor any radiation effects
coming from the labs.

725
00:41:52,077 --> 00:41:55,612
And this protocol is, in part,
us keeping our team safe,

726
00:41:55,614 --> 00:41:59,816
but also conforming to science and
technology workplace regulations.

727
00:42:05,556 --> 00:42:07,056
Out of the entire agency,

728
00:42:07,058 --> 00:42:10,193
only three came up with
a positive match for the enzyme.

729
00:42:10,195 --> 00:42:12,929
One is an astronaut who's
just come back from the ISS,

730
00:42:12,931 --> 00:42:15,231
the other is our head of I.T.,

731
00:42:15,233 --> 00:42:18,067
and the other is our
expert cosmologist

732
00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:20,603
on the subject of the void,

733
00:42:20,605 --> 00:42:22,038
Jessica Johnson.

734
00:42:36,087 --> 00:42:37,554
Yeah, can I take your coat?

735
00:42:37,556 --> 00:42:39,956
Oh, yeah, lovely, thanks.

736
00:42:39,958 --> 00:42:41,558
- That's it.
- Yeah, great.

737
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,660
- How's things? How's Mary?
- Good, she's good.

738
00:42:43,662 --> 00:42:46,296
- It's really nice to have her back.
- Oh.

739
00:42:46,298 --> 00:42:48,765
- I haven't seen her for a little while, so...
- Yeah, she...

740
00:42:58,208 --> 00:43:00,610
- Hey!
- Hey, how are you?

741
00:43:00,612 --> 00:43:02,011
Yeah, I'm good.

742
00:43:02,013 --> 00:43:03,646
- A long time.
- I'm laden with a cat.

743
00:43:03,648 --> 00:43:05,348
Yeah. Aw.

744
00:43:05,350 --> 00:43:06,683
So good to see you.

745
00:43:08,787 --> 00:43:10,820
Um, when am I gonna
see you again?

746
00:43:10,822 --> 00:43:12,822
Um, I don't know.

747
00:43:12,824 --> 00:43:14,591
- Soon?
- Um... yeah, soon.

748
00:43:14,593 --> 00:43:16,125
- Sooner than, sooner than...
- Yeah, definitely soon.

749
00:43:16,127 --> 00:43:17,694
- ...this time, okay?
- And I promise,

750
00:43:17,696 --> 00:43:19,696
I will definitely text you back.

751
00:43:19,698 --> 00:43:21,230
Okay. Enjoy the puzzle.

752
00:43:21,232 --> 00:43:22,865
- Good luck. I'll see you.
- I'll be back around 8:00.

753
00:43:22,867 --> 00:43:24,300
Good luck, Mary, take care.

754
00:43:24,302 --> 00:43:26,669
Yeah.

755
00:43:26,671 --> 00:43:27,937
Obviously,
you know why I'm here.

756
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:29,005
- Yes, I do.
- Yeah.

757
00:43:29,007 --> 00:43:30,206
Um, and to be honest,

758
00:43:30,208 --> 00:43:32,709
I'm having some
reservations myself.

759
00:43:32,711 --> 00:43:34,043
Of course.

760
00:43:34,045 --> 00:43:38,214
I'm coming to you
sort of off the record

761
00:43:38,216 --> 00:43:41,184
- and as a friend more than a colleague. Um...
- Mm.

762
00:43:41,186 --> 00:43:45,822
I respect that and I get that this is
a really difficult decision for you

763
00:43:45,824 --> 00:43:48,291
as much as it is for me,
I know that.

764
00:43:48,293 --> 00:43:51,327
And I... I want to make
the right decision

765
00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:54,764
that I'm better going ahead
with the procedure

766
00:43:54,766 --> 00:43:58,801
- than... my knowledge being here.
- Mm.

767
00:43:58,803 --> 00:44:04,240
But also... there's no way back.

768
00:44:04,242 --> 00:44:05,675
There is no way back.

769
00:44:05,677 --> 00:44:07,844
And...

770
00:44:07,846 --> 00:44:09,212
I'm sorry, but, um...

771
00:44:09,214 --> 00:44:12,248
Excuse me.

772
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:14,717
I need to make sure my family
are really well cared for.

773
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,819
- That I can guarantee.
- Yeah?

774
00:44:16,821 --> 00:44:19,656
I can guarantee that your family
will be taken care of.

775
00:44:19,658 --> 00:44:23,026
And it needs to...

776
00:44:23,028 --> 00:44:24,661
Be delicate,
the way you tell them.

777
00:44:24,663 --> 00:44:26,362
I will be sensitive.

778
00:44:26,364 --> 00:44:28,064
- Thank you.
- Of course.

779
00:44:28,066 --> 00:44:30,433
You don't need to
worry about that.

780
00:44:30,435 --> 00:44:32,068
This can't be for nothing.

781
00:44:32,070 --> 00:44:35,838
And I'm aware that
we've got one shot at this,

782
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,408
- and time is running out.
- Yes, it is running out.

783
00:44:38,410 --> 00:44:41,244
It's... it's very pressing.

784
00:44:41,246 --> 00:44:43,680
You know, you will go down
in history books

785
00:44:43,682 --> 00:44:48,351
for what you, potentially,
if you agree to do it.

786
00:44:48,353 --> 00:44:53,289
Well, Jessica is faced with
a very difficult decision.

787
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:58,695
She is the best candidate that
we have at the present time

788
00:44:58,697 --> 00:45:02,198
to participate in
the human 2.0 project.

789
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,069
Of course... it's not
an easy choice to make.

790
00:45:06,071 --> 00:45:09,739
I don't really know...

791
00:45:09,741 --> 00:45:11,107
I really don't know
how to convince her

792
00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:13,109
to make this choice.

793
00:45:13,111 --> 00:45:17,380
I feel terribly conflicted

794
00:45:17,382 --> 00:45:21,417
because we all know that...

795
00:45:21,419 --> 00:45:25,054
Her life will change
irrevocably.

796
00:45:25,056 --> 00:45:27,290
And, uh...

797
00:45:27,292 --> 00:45:30,193
There's no guarantee
that she will, um,

798
00:45:30,195 --> 00:45:33,029
you know, make it out
of this process alive.

799
00:45:33,031 --> 00:45:36,899
It's a very big
responsibility for me.

800
00:45:36,901 --> 00:45:40,269
And it's, uh,
ultimately, up to her.

801
00:45:52,015 --> 00:45:53,750
- I'm going to do it.
- What?

802
00:45:53,752 --> 00:45:55,218
It makes perfect sense.

803
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:57,019
I know this mission
more than anyone here

804
00:45:57,021 --> 00:45:59,222
and I understand the objective.

805
00:45:59,224 --> 00:46:00,890
I'm the only person here
who understands

806
00:46:00,892 --> 00:46:02,599
what could potentially
be on the other side.

807
00:46:05,462 --> 00:46:08,231
You don't have to do this.

808
00:46:08,233 --> 00:46:10,233
You're much more
valuable to us down here.

809
00:46:10,235 --> 00:46:13,236
Well, given the tight timeframe,

810
00:46:13,238 --> 00:46:17,473
you know that this is
the right thing to do.

811
00:46:17,475 --> 00:46:20,877
Look, we'll have to run tests. And besides,
we have the other two positive candidates.

812
00:46:20,879 --> 00:46:23,079
- What makes you think...?
- The astronaut, James good,

813
00:46:23,081 --> 00:46:24,814
firstly, just back from the ISS,

814
00:46:24,816 --> 00:46:27,917
secondly, he has a family.

815
00:46:27,919 --> 00:46:29,819
And David Jennings in I.T.,
I mean, seriously,

816
00:46:29,821 --> 00:46:31,888
the guy is so defensive.

817
00:46:31,890 --> 00:46:34,357
Definitely not
first contact material.

818
00:46:34,359 --> 00:46:35,825
I've already done the psych test

819
00:46:35,827 --> 00:46:38,427
and I'm cleared
for the procedure.

820
00:46:38,429 --> 00:46:40,530
Now I haven't worked
directly with her,

821
00:46:40,532 --> 00:46:42,832
but in light of
recent communications,

822
00:46:42,834 --> 00:46:46,302
it's clear that she's volatile
and, frankly,

823
00:46:46,304 --> 00:46:48,971
a ticking time bomb.

824
00:46:48,973 --> 00:46:52,108
I don't think we should have
someone like that

825
00:46:52,110 --> 00:46:54,877
lead a scientific investigation

826
00:46:54,879 --> 00:46:58,381
in what could possibly be
the most important discovery

827
00:46:58,383 --> 00:47:02,985
in the history
of space exploration.

828
00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:07,423
She has, um,
this ability to focus

829
00:47:07,425 --> 00:47:10,026
and this attention
that she applies to her work,

830
00:47:10,028 --> 00:47:12,028
which is very impressive.

831
00:47:12,030 --> 00:47:14,030
And she has this
exploratory nature

832
00:47:14,032 --> 00:47:15,965
with veering that she does.

833
00:47:15,967 --> 00:47:19,602
Always looking deeper into ever
anomaly that she's researching,

834
00:47:19,604 --> 00:47:21,370
drawing conclusions
from the data

835
00:47:21,372 --> 00:47:23,172
and, and thinking about things

836
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:27,410
in a way that's very
valuable and unique.

837
00:47:27,412 --> 00:47:30,880
And, really, I think Jessica's
the ideal person

838
00:47:30,882 --> 00:47:32,081
for this mission.

839
00:47:36,386 --> 00:47:39,889
When Jessica was
making her decision,

840
00:47:39,891 --> 00:47:43,025
she came to me
to find out more about

841
00:47:43,027 --> 00:47:47,163
what it was gonna be like
in the human 2.0 body.

842
00:47:47,165 --> 00:47:51,434
So, obviously, we discussed
the physical differences,

843
00:47:51,436 --> 00:47:56,639
but she was more concerned about
her emotional capabilities.

844
00:47:56,641 --> 00:47:59,175
And I reassured her,
um, you know,

845
00:47:59,177 --> 00:48:02,311
this is the most important
aspect to us;

846
00:48:02,313 --> 00:48:05,214
preserving her
emotional intelligence

847
00:48:05,216 --> 00:48:07,650
and, in a moral compass,

848
00:48:07,652 --> 00:48:10,086
you know, that's what
makes you human.

849
00:48:10,088 --> 00:48:14,624
And it's a human that
we want to send up there.

850
00:48:14,626 --> 00:48:17,260
Well, it's, um,
absolutely incredible

851
00:48:17,262 --> 00:48:18,928
what they can do.

852
00:48:18,930 --> 00:48:21,297
Um, it's very overwhelming.

853
00:48:21,299 --> 00:48:23,566
Um, but Alice was wonderful.

854
00:48:23,568 --> 00:48:28,404
She told me exactly what is
entailed with the procedure.

855
00:48:28,406 --> 00:48:30,606
Um, I know a bit more
about it now.

856
00:48:30,608 --> 00:48:32,375
Um...

857
00:48:32,377 --> 00:48:35,144
It's... it's incredible.
I'm ready.

858
00:48:35,146 --> 00:48:38,314
Um, I absolutely
have to do this.

859
00:48:38,316 --> 00:48:40,616
And, uh, yeah.

860
00:48:45,522 --> 00:48:48,324
The hardest part
of this decision

861
00:48:48,326 --> 00:48:50,559
to go ahead with the procedure

862
00:48:50,561 --> 00:48:53,663
has been calling up
my friends and family

863
00:48:53,665 --> 00:48:57,566
to just hear their voice
one last time.

864
00:48:57,568 --> 00:48:59,635
These phone calls

865
00:48:59,637 --> 00:49:04,006
really made me realize
the sacrifices I'm making.

866
00:49:11,114 --> 00:49:14,083
Even if I do survive it,

867
00:49:14,085 --> 00:49:17,186
I am well aware that
this is a one-way mission

868
00:49:17,188 --> 00:49:21,290
and there is no point of return
to my original life.

869
00:50:19,483 --> 00:50:23,185
The fusion has been successful.

870
00:50:23,187 --> 00:50:27,590
We have our first human 2.0.

871
00:50:27,592 --> 00:50:30,393
We are literally god right now.

872
00:50:44,307 --> 00:50:47,309
When I watched her eyes open,

873
00:50:47,311 --> 00:50:51,380
and when I saw her
take her first breath,

874
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:55,651
it, uh... it was like
she was reborn.

875
00:50:55,653 --> 00:50:57,686
But it's like you're watching
consciousness come alive

876
00:50:57,688 --> 00:50:59,488
right in front of you.

877
00:50:59,490 --> 00:51:02,124
And this unprecedented mix of,

878
00:51:02,126 --> 00:51:05,294
of human consciousness
and technology.

879
00:51:07,498 --> 00:51:09,665
Okay, guys,
can you check on this?

880
00:51:09,667 --> 00:51:13,169
Okay, Jessica,
just calm down, it's okay.

881
00:51:13,171 --> 00:51:16,405
The speech synthesizer, it needs
the reconfiguration, okay?

882
00:51:16,407 --> 00:51:19,208
But just calm down,
this isn't permanent.

883
00:51:19,210 --> 00:51:20,443
We can fix this, okay?

884
00:51:20,445 --> 00:51:23,379
But try, try and relax yourself.

885
00:51:23,381 --> 00:51:26,682
Uh, so we're having some issues
with the speech synthesizer.

886
00:51:26,684 --> 00:51:29,318
Basically, the electrode
that's implanted in the brain,

887
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,555
which is communicating telemetrically
with the neural decoder,

888
00:51:32,557 --> 00:51:34,423
this is where, I think,
we're having some issues.

889
00:51:34,425 --> 00:51:36,525
We need to do some
reconfiguration here.

890
00:51:49,773 --> 00:51:52,641
Strange hearing my voice.

891
00:51:52,643 --> 00:51:54,643
I don't feel like myself.

892
00:51:54,645 --> 00:51:56,679
But I'm just in a new body.

893
00:51:56,681 --> 00:52:02,384
My... I can feel pressure when
I touch my fingertips together.

894
00:52:02,386 --> 00:52:05,454
But I don't have
any sense of pain.

895
00:52:05,456 --> 00:52:09,425
When I look in the mirror,
I see my old face,

896
00:52:09,427 --> 00:52:11,427
only inside a new body.

897
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:13,762
Sometimes, when I close my eyes,

898
00:52:13,764 --> 00:52:17,166
I totally forget that I am
in a synthetic body.

899
00:52:17,168 --> 00:52:19,335
Everything which makes me
who I am,

900
00:52:19,337 --> 00:52:21,804
it's in my consciousness.

901
00:52:21,806 --> 00:52:25,875
I'm told that I will have to go
through extensive rehabilitation

902
00:52:25,877 --> 00:52:30,779
to get my brain used to
the synthetic body.

903
00:52:33,884 --> 00:52:37,820
After the first time,
when we lost Carl,

904
00:52:37,822 --> 00:52:42,224
I sometimes doubted
that we'd be here today.

905
00:52:42,226 --> 00:52:44,260
Seeing her now,

906
00:52:44,262 --> 00:52:46,162
alive...

907
00:52:46,164 --> 00:52:47,563
It changes everything.

908
00:52:47,565 --> 00:52:50,866
That's, um, that's so profound.

909
00:52:50,868 --> 00:52:55,571
Sorry, I find it really,
um... staggering.

910
00:52:55,573 --> 00:52:58,908
And I suppose mixed in
with that is, uh...

911
00:52:58,910 --> 00:53:03,312
The fact that she is a woman,
a human being like you and me.

912
00:53:03,314 --> 00:53:05,347
Um...

913
00:53:05,349 --> 00:53:08,784
And she must be wondering how
it's all gonna work out as well.

914
00:53:08,786 --> 00:53:13,355
But I think
she's gonna be just fine.

915
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:17,226
I would suggest that this is
the beginning of the future

916
00:53:17,228 --> 00:53:19,862
of astronauts to come.

917
00:53:28,271 --> 00:53:30,372
I won't deny the fact

918
00:53:30,374 --> 00:53:34,243
that our human 2.0 solider may
possess certain hardware attributes

919
00:53:34,245 --> 00:53:35,711
within its synthetic body,

920
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:38,614
which will differ from
the synthetic astronaut.

921
00:53:38,616 --> 00:53:40,549
Yes, he is carrying small arms,

922
00:53:40,551 --> 00:53:43,485
which is part of the human 2.0
soldier body design.

923
00:53:43,487 --> 00:53:46,555
You don't send a soldier
on a mission without a weapon

924
00:53:46,557 --> 00:53:49,592
and considering that we do not
know what is behind the void,

925
00:53:49,594 --> 00:53:52,428
it is inherently dangerous
to be unprepared.

926
00:54:17,854 --> 00:54:20,589
Human 2.0 has just docked on
and looking good.

927
00:54:20,591 --> 00:54:22,691
Prepare for launch countdown.

928
00:54:29,566 --> 00:54:32,901
Five, four, three, two, one.

929
00:54:36,473 --> 00:54:38,874
We have ignition, engines start.

930
00:54:38,876 --> 00:54:41,543
Lift off.

931
00:54:44,014 --> 00:54:46,415
Power is nominal.

932
00:54:46,417 --> 00:54:50,019
Engines at 101% and nominal.

933
00:54:50,021 --> 00:54:53,322
Altitude is 2,000 feet
and climbing.

934
00:54:53,324 --> 00:54:56,392
Avionics power is at nominal.

935
00:54:56,394 --> 00:55:00,529
Altitude is at 10,000 feet
and climbing.

936
00:55:00,531 --> 00:55:02,064
Engines remain nominal.

937
00:55:02,066 --> 00:55:04,667
Preparing for main engine
cut off.

938
00:55:04,669 --> 00:55:06,735
Two minutes to EPOS.

939
00:55:06,737 --> 00:55:09,071
Sequence 30 seconds.

940
00:55:09,073 --> 00:55:12,641
Speed, 7,200 miles per hour.

941
00:55:12,643 --> 00:55:16,445
Stand by for stage one
and EPOS separation.

942
00:55:16,447 --> 00:55:20,582
ESS is disabled and we have
stage one separation.

943
00:55:20,584 --> 00:55:23,952
Payload separation
in three, two, one.

944
00:55:23,954 --> 00:55:25,754
Eject.

945
00:55:25,756 --> 00:55:28,724
Alignment and trajectory
is looking good.

946
00:55:28,726 --> 00:55:32,428
We still have good, strong
telemetry in the RCC.

947
00:55:56,654 --> 00:55:58,687
Standing by
for human 2.0 connection

948
00:55:58,689 --> 00:56:01,623
in three, two, one.

949
00:56:01,625 --> 00:56:04,460
Jessica, we see
what you see, over.

950
00:56:04,462 --> 00:56:06,862
Please commence
on observation report.

951
00:56:06,864 --> 00:56:08,764
Pressure stable inside
the craft.

952
00:56:08,766 --> 00:56:10,432
It's all looking good.

953
00:56:10,434 --> 00:56:11,800
Jessica, you are a go.

954
00:56:11,802 --> 00:56:13,869
Engaging on board
trajectory system.

955
00:56:13,871 --> 00:56:15,137
We're getting closer.

956
00:56:15,139 --> 00:56:16,538
We're approaching the void.

957
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,073
I can almost see it.

958
00:56:18,075 --> 00:56:20,409
It's almost within range.

959
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:30,719
There it is, there's the void.

960
00:56:30,721 --> 00:56:33,489
Wow. It is beautiful.

961
00:56:39,529 --> 00:56:40,829
Be advised,

962
00:56:40,831 --> 00:56:43,399
we are no longer receiving
craft telepatry.

963
00:56:43,401 --> 00:56:46,135
As we get closer,
I can feel everything around me.

964
00:56:46,137 --> 00:56:47,669
It's starting to move too.

965
00:56:47,671 --> 00:56:49,738
Oh, the pressure's so strong.

966
00:56:49,740 --> 00:56:52,541
Pressure readings are fluctuating.
It's becoming irregular.

967
00:56:52,543 --> 00:56:55,844
There's a strange light coming
in from all around, up ahead.

968
00:56:55,846 --> 00:56:57,780
Oh, wow, this is incredible.

969
00:56:57,782 --> 00:57:02,117
Especially since the void is
starting to distort everything.

970
00:57:02,119 --> 00:57:03,886
Here we go!

971
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:17,032
We are losing your transmission.

972
00:57:27,210 --> 00:57:28,777
If you can still hear us,

973
00:57:28,779 --> 00:57:31,747
good luck and godspeed, Jessica.

974
00:57:31,749 --> 00:57:33,882
Well, we don't know, uh,

975
00:57:33,884 --> 00:57:37,686
exactly when we can expect
our astronauts to return.

976
00:57:37,688 --> 00:57:41,123
Um, we can only
speculate and hope,

977
00:57:41,125 --> 00:57:44,526
and I hope that they will be
back, you know, within the year,

978
00:57:44,528 --> 00:57:48,664
but it's possible that it could
take several years,

979
00:57:48,666 --> 00:57:50,899
several decades even.

980
00:57:50,901 --> 00:57:55,237
And there is also the remote
possibility that we...

981
00:57:55,239 --> 00:57:57,639
May never hear from them.

982
00:57:57,641 --> 00:58:00,909
Uh, we're prepared for
every eventuality.

983
00:58:00,911 --> 00:58:02,845
We're tracking them right now.

984
00:58:02,847 --> 00:58:04,780
And, um, well, as you can see,

985
00:58:04,782 --> 00:58:07,182
we're all working flat out,

986
00:58:07,184 --> 00:58:09,485
keeping tabs on what's going on.

987
00:58:09,487 --> 00:58:10,886
And everybody is listening,

988
00:58:10,888 --> 00:58:12,554
every single second.

989
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:27,603
There's been an accident.

990
00:58:27,605 --> 00:58:29,771
And...

991
00:58:29,773 --> 00:58:35,010
I'm afraid that Jessica
has been involved.

992
00:58:35,012 --> 00:58:38,614
There was, um, an explosion...

993
00:58:38,616 --> 00:58:42,017
On the rocket and...

994
00:58:42,019 --> 00:58:43,852
I'm really sorry to say, but...

995
00:58:46,556 --> 00:58:47,789
We've lost her.

996
00:58:51,127 --> 00:58:53,562
Everything that's dangerous,
must be...

997
00:58:53,564 --> 00:58:54,963
And why was she on it?

998
00:58:54,965 --> 00:58:59,167
It's her job.

999
00:58:59,169 --> 00:59:02,671
Couldn't they have put
someone else on the rocket?

1000
00:59:02,673 --> 00:59:03,839
No, darling.

1001
00:59:06,576 --> 00:59:08,610
No.

1002
00:59:08,612 --> 00:59:11,046
Yeah, that was tough,
my goodness.

1003
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:13,148
Uh...

1004
00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:16,318
Oh, it's all very complicated

1005
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,222
I've never lied to my daughter
about anything before.

1006
00:59:20,224 --> 00:59:23,792
And, um, of course, the last time
I had to tell her somebody died,

1007
00:59:23,794 --> 00:59:25,727
it was my husband.

1008
00:59:25,729 --> 00:59:29,798
Um, and it's not pleasant to
have to go through that again.

1009
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,868
I knew that, um...

1010
00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:35,203
Well, if she could know
the truth and if she knew why

1011
00:59:35,205 --> 00:59:36,572
she would forgive me.

1012
00:59:38,775 --> 00:59:39,975
That's hard.

1013
01:00:00,831 --> 01:00:04,333
This morning, one of our defense
ballistic missile radar systems

1014
01:00:04,335 --> 01:00:07,002
picked up a...
A fast-moving object

1015
01:00:07,004 --> 01:00:08,337
heading towards
the Atlantic ocean.

1016
01:00:08,339 --> 01:00:10,839
We use this to
track space debris,

1017
01:00:10,841 --> 01:00:13,208
uh, satellites.

1018
01:00:13,210 --> 01:00:16,044
This object, it has
the same size, velocity,

1019
01:00:16,046 --> 01:00:19,681
trajectory as the craft that
we sent through to the void.

1020
01:00:19,683 --> 01:00:22,284
I mean, we were awe struck,
that's for sure.

1021
01:00:22,286 --> 01:00:24,019
I mean...

1022
01:00:24,021 --> 01:00:27,255
Within a few days
of launching, um...

1023
01:00:27,257 --> 01:00:29,658
To return so quickly...

1024
01:00:36,165 --> 01:00:38,734
Well, when we arrived, we lifted
the craft out of the water

1025
01:00:38,736 --> 01:00:42,170
and I remember smearing black
residue off the side.

1026
01:00:42,172 --> 01:00:44,773
Well, usually, when you see a
craft with that amount of aging,

1027
01:00:44,775 --> 01:00:47,342
you would expect that the craft had
been out for a long period of time

1028
01:00:47,344 --> 01:00:52,014
and had a very forcible entry
back into the atmosphere.

1029
01:00:52,016 --> 01:00:53,815
From my experience
from previous missions,

1030
01:00:53,817 --> 01:00:55,751
what would happen is that
you would enter the craft

1031
01:00:55,753 --> 01:00:57,753
and there'd be
two astronauts there.

1032
01:00:57,755 --> 01:01:00,295
But in this case, the military
astronaut was nowhere to be found.

1033
01:01:02,125 --> 01:01:04,059
We need to consider
the fact that perhaps

1034
01:01:04,061 --> 01:01:07,729
that this whole void...

1035
01:01:07,731 --> 01:01:10,732
Is a Trojan horse.

1036
01:01:10,734 --> 01:01:11,900
That...

1037
01:01:14,704 --> 01:01:18,240
That this could be perhaps
a message, a warning.

1038
01:01:18,242 --> 01:01:20,208
I don't think it's a failure

1039
01:01:20,210 --> 01:01:21,843
that it's come back
in seven days.

1040
01:01:21,845 --> 01:01:23,979
I mean, we have something

1041
01:01:23,981 --> 01:01:27,783
that has been through the void
and come back.

1042
01:01:27,785 --> 01:01:30,919
Now our next step
is to start doing tests.

1043
01:01:30,921 --> 01:01:33,789
As standard protocol
for all our astronauts,

1044
01:01:33,791 --> 01:01:35,323
we have to keep miss Johnson
in quarantine

1045
01:01:35,325 --> 01:01:37,793
to prevent any form of
biological contamination

1046
01:01:37,795 --> 01:01:40,429
she may have been exposed to.

1047
01:01:40,431 --> 01:01:42,764
We have to prepare ourselves
for the fact that

1048
01:01:42,766 --> 01:01:44,132
the mission is a failure.

1049
01:01:46,035 --> 01:01:48,970
What we need to do now is
get ready for next steps.

1050
01:01:51,407 --> 01:01:54,910
To be honest, whether she wakes
up is another thing.

1051
01:01:54,912 --> 01:01:57,412
She may physically wake up now,

1052
01:01:57,414 --> 01:02:01,016
or even next week, or next year.

1053
01:02:01,018 --> 01:02:03,452
When a patient has suffered
severe brain damage,

1054
01:02:03,454 --> 01:02:09,057
then... they go into a coma
or vegetative state.

1055
01:02:09,059 --> 01:02:12,160
It's possible that
the sustained injury

1056
01:02:12,162 --> 01:02:15,764
is impairing their normal
brain function.

1057
01:02:15,766 --> 01:02:18,233
When we plugged her
into the transcode bay,

1058
01:02:18,235 --> 01:02:21,870
we discovered that the recorded
data in her brain

1059
01:02:21,872 --> 01:02:25,907
showed several years-worth
of new memories recorded.

1060
01:02:25,909 --> 01:02:29,077
Yet she had only
been away for five days.

1061
01:02:31,848 --> 01:02:36,084
It's possible, even probable,

1062
01:02:36,086 --> 01:02:38,320
that the time on the void

1063
01:02:38,322 --> 01:02:42,224
is well different
from our concept of time.

1064
01:02:42,226 --> 01:02:45,260
What is a couple of years
the other side

1065
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:47,896
may well just be
a few days here.

1066
01:02:53,504 --> 01:02:55,370
The transcode process works by

1067
01:02:55,372 --> 01:02:59,074
tapping into the connector
where the memories are stored.

1068
01:02:59,076 --> 01:03:02,344
This is made possible by artificial
intelligent chip implants

1069
01:03:02,346 --> 01:03:04,312
that's stored
at the side of the brain.

1070
01:03:04,314 --> 01:03:06,882
So this helps us encode memories

1071
01:03:06,884 --> 01:03:10,452
and also stores them
as synaptic connections.

1072
01:03:10,454 --> 01:03:12,487
What our transcode
technology does

1073
01:03:12,489 --> 01:03:15,190
is it unscrambles this chain
of synaptic connections

1074
01:03:15,192 --> 01:03:17,459
into a stream of data.

1075
01:03:17,461 --> 01:03:21,163
Our software then processes
this stream of data as imagery.

1076
01:03:21,165 --> 01:03:23,799
So when played back,
it's.. It's incredible.

1077
01:03:23,801 --> 01:03:25,901
It's actual memory footage.

1078
01:03:46,256 --> 01:03:48,256
We've transcoded
bursts of memory.

1079
01:03:48,258 --> 01:03:50,091
And, although short,
it's very promising,

1080
01:03:50,093 --> 01:03:52,828
in fact, it's... I think it's
better than anybody expected.

1081
01:03:52,830 --> 01:03:54,896
Um, at this stage
of the game, however,

1082
01:03:54,898 --> 01:03:59,167
it... they are short because
it's very, uh, taxing mentally

1083
01:03:59,169 --> 01:04:00,902
for Jessica.

1084
01:04:00,904 --> 01:04:03,004
So she needs
a certain amount of time

1085
01:04:03,006 --> 01:04:05,106
to recover for the synapses
in her brain

1086
01:04:05,108 --> 01:04:07,309
to recover from the experience
that she's had

1087
01:04:07,311 --> 01:04:09,277
to, sort of,
re-gather, as it were,

1088
01:04:09,279 --> 01:04:11,513
um, and then we start again.

1089
01:04:11,515 --> 01:04:14,182
So, for me,
there's a priority, obviously,

1090
01:04:14,184 --> 01:04:16,284
which is to
take care of Jessica.

1091
01:04:16,286 --> 01:04:18,186
I certainly don't want
the information that she has

1092
01:04:18,188 --> 01:04:20,055
to be compromised in any way

1093
01:04:20,057 --> 01:04:22,624
by pushing this process
too quickly.

1094
01:04:22,626 --> 01:04:25,761
However, there is an imperative that we
get the information as soon as possible.

1095
01:04:28,599 --> 01:04:32,300
We have some very worried people
here at strategic defense committee.

1096
01:04:32,302 --> 01:04:34,269
With the heightened
activity in our skies,

1097
01:04:34,271 --> 01:04:37,105
national security alert
was elevated to code red.

1098
01:04:37,107 --> 01:04:39,641
Now bear in mind, we have
protocols set in place

1099
01:04:39,643 --> 01:04:41,276
for this kind of event.

1100
01:04:41,278 --> 01:04:42,377
Since the '40s.

1101
01:06:21,577 --> 01:06:25,113
Something must've triggered
her brain synapse like a switch.

1102
01:06:25,115 --> 01:06:28,350
Her brain activity
lit up like fireworks.

1103
01:06:29,753 --> 01:06:31,720
Her diagnostics were normal.

1104
01:06:31,722 --> 01:06:33,355
Nothing seemed damaged.

1105
01:06:33,357 --> 01:06:36,224
Well, her brain did
have a level of trauma,

1106
01:06:36,226 --> 01:06:38,059
but that's to be expected,

1107
01:06:38,061 --> 01:06:42,130
and her memories will
take a while to reconnect.

1108
01:06:42,132 --> 01:06:47,235
Despite my professional advice
to the space agency officials,

1109
01:06:47,237 --> 01:06:50,038
not enough time was given
to allow for her recovery.

1110
01:06:52,441 --> 01:06:55,477
There were too many questions.

1111
01:06:55,479 --> 01:06:57,312
And everyone wanted answers.

1112
01:07:00,783 --> 01:07:04,019
Jessica, I'm gonna
ask you some questions

1113
01:07:04,021 --> 01:07:06,021
and it's very important

1114
01:07:06,023 --> 01:07:09,190
that you answer them
as clearly as possible

1115
01:07:09,192 --> 01:07:13,128
so that we can prevent confusion
with the memory transcodes.

1116
01:07:13,130 --> 01:07:14,229
I understand.

1117
01:07:17,667 --> 01:07:21,536
What do you remember
from the launch?

1118
01:07:21,538 --> 01:07:23,304
It was so much light.

1119
01:07:23,306 --> 01:07:25,673
I remember thinking
to myself that

1120
01:07:25,675 --> 01:07:29,477
this light is going to blind me
if I keep my eyes open.

1121
01:07:29,479 --> 01:07:33,148
Can you tell me what happened
with the soldier 2.0?

1122
01:07:33,150 --> 01:07:38,253
The solider... he remained quiet
as we went into the void.

1123
01:07:38,255 --> 01:07:40,555
But as the light flashes
became more violent,

1124
01:07:40,557 --> 01:07:44,492
I... I couldn't watch him, I had
to close my eyes for a moment.

1125
01:07:49,065 --> 01:07:51,132
And when I opened my eyes,
I noticed

1126
01:07:51,134 --> 01:07:53,635
that he was no longer
in the craft.

1127
01:07:53,637 --> 01:07:57,338
I looked outside and I could
see him floating away.

1128
01:08:06,148 --> 01:08:10,151
Jessica, sorry,
can you confirm that again?

1129
01:08:10,153 --> 01:08:14,422
I said, there was no way that he
could've left the craft via the hatch.

1130
01:08:17,593 --> 01:08:20,328
He just floated there
as if frozen.

1131
01:08:22,698 --> 01:08:25,333
He had a look of fear
in his eyes

1132
01:08:25,335 --> 01:08:28,570
and he kept looking down
at his arm.

1133
01:08:28,572 --> 01:08:32,774
His arm exploded into
a white flash of light,

1134
01:08:32,776 --> 01:08:36,678
which looked like
a nuclear bomb detonation.

1135
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,315
And then the craft began
spinning out of the void

1136
01:08:40,317 --> 01:08:43,184
and towards what
looked like a planet.

1137
01:08:47,723 --> 01:08:51,459
I must've passed out because
I then found myself

1138
01:08:51,461 --> 01:08:55,663
on the planet's surface and
had no idea how that happened.

1139
01:08:55,665 --> 01:08:59,167
I kept walking and walking.

1140
01:08:59,169 --> 01:09:03,438
It was as if I was drawn to
a specific location.

1141
01:10:03,465 --> 01:10:05,600
Jessica,

1142
01:10:05,602 --> 01:10:07,735
did you make first contact?

1143
01:10:07,737 --> 01:10:09,337
Yes.

1144
01:10:09,339 --> 01:10:10,972
I saw them.

1145
01:10:10,974 --> 01:10:14,709
But they had no shape or form.

1146
01:10:14,711 --> 01:10:18,913
I felt their presence as if they
were trying to communicate with me.

1147
01:10:22,252 --> 01:10:23,885
And there was a flash,

1148
01:10:23,887 --> 01:10:26,421
and I found myself inside
a white environment.

1149
01:10:30,859 --> 01:10:33,494
In the distance...

1150
01:10:33,496 --> 01:10:36,331
Was something approaching me.

1151
01:10:36,333 --> 01:10:38,866
I felt paralyzed.

1152
01:10:38,868 --> 01:10:40,602
I-I just couldn't move.

1153
01:10:47,910 --> 01:10:50,712
I know I should've been
scared or terrified

1154
01:10:50,714 --> 01:10:52,347
but I wasn't.

1155
01:10:52,349 --> 01:10:56,017
I actually felt calm.

1156
01:11:07,029 --> 01:11:08,863
It was Jim Marcell.

1157
01:11:08,865 --> 01:11:13,368
But he didn't physically speak.

1158
01:11:13,370 --> 01:11:15,470
I could hear him,
though, in my head,

1159
01:11:15,472 --> 01:11:18,906
telling me that everything
is going to be okay.

1160
01:11:18,908 --> 01:11:20,341
What are their intentions?

1161
01:11:25,281 --> 01:11:27,649
He kept saying
it's going to be okay

1162
01:11:27,651 --> 01:11:29,550
and that our time has come.

1163
01:11:31,754 --> 01:11:34,622
It was strange,
I could feel what it was saying.

1164
01:11:34,624 --> 01:11:37,859
It-it...
it wasn't a voice as such.

1165
01:11:37,861 --> 01:11:41,562
It was just information being
presented into my mind.

1166
01:11:45,834 --> 01:11:47,468
Many in the committee
are questioning

1167
01:11:47,470 --> 01:11:49,671
the validity of
Jessica's memory transcodes,

1168
01:11:49,673 --> 01:11:52,807
in particular, the appearance
of astronaut Jim Marcell.

1169
01:11:52,809 --> 01:11:56,544
Um, they are questioning whether this
is a manifestation of her imagination

1170
01:11:56,546 --> 01:11:59,013
or a kind of mirage,
if you will.

1171
01:11:59,015 --> 01:12:04,519
However, I have to wonder why
he appeared in the first place.

1172
01:12:04,521 --> 01:12:06,788
And, to me, I think
it's important to, perhaps,

1173
01:12:06,790 --> 01:12:10,024
examine the idea that
astronaut Jim Marcell

1174
01:12:10,026 --> 01:12:12,360
is alive and well,

1175
01:12:12,362 --> 01:12:13,761
and on the other side
of the void.

1176
01:12:13,763 --> 01:12:16,698
He's not damaged in body
or mind, seemingly.

1177
01:12:16,700 --> 01:12:20,401
So perhaps this would indicate
that their intentions towards us

1178
01:12:20,403 --> 01:12:24,439
are positive and that
they mean us no harm.

1179
01:12:24,441 --> 01:12:26,407
We have to be extremely cautious

1180
01:12:26,409 --> 01:12:30,445
in our response
to Jessica's statements.

1181
01:12:30,447 --> 01:12:33,448
We have to run...
A whole lot of tests

1182
01:12:33,450 --> 01:12:35,049
to ascertain whether
or not she's suffering

1183
01:12:35,051 --> 01:12:37,752
from any form of
post-traumatic stress.

1184
01:12:37,754 --> 01:12:40,455
She's been through one
hell of an experience.

1185
01:12:40,457 --> 01:12:42,357
It's bound to have
some side effects,

1186
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:45,860
even if they are temporary.

1187
01:12:45,862 --> 01:12:48,363
We have a lot at stake here.

1188
01:12:48,365 --> 01:12:51,866
And we can't afford to make any
rash conclusions at this stage

1189
01:12:51,868 --> 01:12:55,770
about what the transcodes are
and where they come from.

1190
01:12:58,140 --> 01:13:02,610
Are they really Jessica's
own organic memories?

1191
01:13:02,612 --> 01:13:03,945
Or are they imposed,
placed there,

1192
01:13:03,947 --> 01:13:06,681
by someone or something else?

1193
01:14:56,692 --> 01:14:59,260
This is ISS, be advised
of incoming debris.

1194
01:14:59,262 --> 01:15:01,562
The blowback does not look good.

1195
01:15:01,564 --> 01:15:03,865
Multiple collisions with our
outer-orbit satellites

1196
01:15:03,867 --> 01:15:06,133
and the debris speed is
accelerating rapidly.

1197
01:15:09,606 --> 01:15:11,172
It's heading right at us.

1198
01:15:11,174 --> 01:15:13,674
Standing by for collision
avoidance maneuver.

1199
01:15:13,676 --> 01:15:16,811
100 meters and closing.

1200
01:15:16,813 --> 01:15:20,181
75 meters and closing.

1201
01:15:20,183 --> 01:15:22,550
50 meters and closing.

1202
01:15:25,287 --> 01:15:27,154
25 meters and closing.

1203
01:15:39,568 --> 01:15:41,869
Ten meters and closing.

1204
01:15:41,871 --> 01:15:44,138
Five meters and closing.

1205
01:15:44,140 --> 01:15:45,640
Three meters.

1206
01:15:45,642 --> 01:15:46,974
Brace for impact.

1207
01:16:59,948 --> 01:17:02,116
We were so wrong.

1208
01:17:04,621 --> 01:17:07,955
We could not have been
more wrong about...

1209
01:17:07,957 --> 01:17:09,991
All of this.

1210
01:17:15,998 --> 01:17:18,065
We were so blinded
by our own paranoia

1211
01:17:18,067 --> 01:17:20,034
that we couldn't see
what was really going on.

1212
01:17:22,170 --> 01:17:24,839
We thought that
we were being attacked.

1213
01:17:24,841 --> 01:17:27,775
It didn't occur to us
in our wildest dreams

1214
01:17:27,777 --> 01:17:30,277
that actually
we were being saved.

1215
01:17:30,279 --> 01:17:33,948
That thought
never crossed my mind.

1216
01:17:33,950 --> 01:17:35,983
And I am feeling...

1217
01:17:35,985 --> 01:17:38,853
Uh, humbled I think
is the word that comes to mind.

1218
01:17:38,855 --> 01:17:42,790
And... um, you know,
you see something,

1219
01:17:42,792 --> 01:17:46,661
I guess you can't help but
question everything that you...

1220
01:17:46,663 --> 01:17:48,362
You think you know.

1221
01:17:48,364 --> 01:17:51,132
Breaking news, today,
not matter which race,

1222
01:17:51,134 --> 01:17:53,734
religion or political view
you hold,

1223
01:17:53,736 --> 01:17:56,237
or wars which you are fighting,

1224
01:17:56,239 --> 01:17:58,105
everyone on this planet
is witnessing

1225
01:17:58,107 --> 01:18:00,041
a historical event,

1226
01:18:00,043 --> 01:18:04,011
which experts are calling the
cosmic event of our lifetime.

1227
01:18:05,914 --> 01:18:08,916
Since the event, Jessica's mind
is less constricted

1228
01:18:08,918 --> 01:18:11,852
and more memories
have been transcoded.

1229
01:18:11,854 --> 01:18:13,988
The more we've transcoded,
the more we've learned about

1230
01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:17,191
Jessica's first
contact experience with them

1231
01:18:17,193 --> 01:18:20,227
and their intentions.

1232
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,201
He said that this
is all part of the cycle.

1233
01:18:27,203 --> 01:18:30,471
A process created by them
to keep the universe stable

1234
01:18:30,473 --> 01:18:33,474
and working.

1235
01:18:33,476 --> 01:18:37,044
I had to ask, "why us?

1236
01:18:37,046 --> 01:18:38,746
Why did they save us?"

1237
01:18:48,290 --> 01:18:50,024
Whatever they
learned about us...

1238
01:18:51,127 --> 01:18:52,827
Perhaps made them decide

1239
01:18:52,829 --> 01:18:56,430
that we were a species
worth preserving after all.

1240
01:18:58,234 --> 01:18:59,767
Regardless of our flaws.

1241
01:19:02,771 --> 01:19:04,371
He said their work is done

1242
01:19:04,373 --> 01:19:06,507
and, in time, they will return.

1243
01:19:14,950 --> 01:19:17,318
I never thought that
the gad would've played

1244
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,821
such an important part
in saving humanity.

1245
01:19:20,823 --> 01:19:25,493
We designed it to inform
extraterrestrial intelligent life

1246
01:19:25,495 --> 01:19:27,928
if they bothered reading it.

1247
01:19:27,930 --> 01:19:30,297
Uh...

1248
01:19:30,299 --> 01:19:33,968
It happened, they did.

1249
01:19:33,970 --> 01:19:38,472
Human beings,
when faced with the unknown,

1250
01:19:38,474 --> 01:19:43,544
there's an immediate reaction
to go on the offense.

1251
01:19:43,546 --> 01:19:45,346
You have two choices really:

1252
01:19:45,348 --> 01:19:47,014
Fight or flight.

1253
01:19:47,016 --> 01:19:48,549
That was our mindset.

1254
01:19:48,551 --> 01:19:50,885
Of course,
having the military involved,

1255
01:19:50,887 --> 01:19:53,988
that's going to be part of how
we approach these things.

1256
01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:56,423
And I think from early days,
you know,

1257
01:19:56,425 --> 01:19:58,926
since the beginning
of this discovery,

1258
01:19:58,928 --> 01:20:04,131
we gradually entered
onto that path

1259
01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:08,369
of feeling that
we were under threat.

1260
01:20:08,371 --> 01:20:11,038
And I have to say it never
really crossed our minds

1261
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,008
for one single second

1262
01:20:14,010 --> 01:20:18,913
that there was something out
there that was helping us.

1263
01:20:18,915 --> 01:20:22,183
Now, I don't know why that
didn't occur to us,

1264
01:20:22,185 --> 01:20:25,953
but maybe it's a question
we need to ask ourselves.

1265
01:20:25,955 --> 01:20:29,290
Is everything
that we don't understand,

1266
01:20:29,292 --> 01:20:32,459
is it something to be feared
right off the bat

1267
01:20:32,461 --> 01:20:34,428
as a knee-jerk reaction,

1268
01:20:34,430 --> 01:20:38,065
or is there space that we can
make to contemplate

1269
01:20:38,067 --> 01:20:39,867
that there could be
forces out there

1270
01:20:39,869 --> 01:20:42,169
that really are on our side,

1271
01:20:42,171 --> 01:20:45,372
and that are part of
helping us evolve?

1272
01:20:49,444 --> 01:20:51,245
Nothing...

1273
01:20:51,247 --> 01:20:56,350
We thought we knew
about physics, science...

1274
01:20:56,352 --> 01:20:58,953
About intelligent life,

1275
01:20:58,955 --> 01:21:02,389
nothing that we've theorized

1276
01:21:02,391 --> 01:21:06,227
could ever have
prepared us for this.

1277
01:21:06,229 --> 01:21:08,295
There's no physical,

1278
01:21:08,297 --> 01:21:10,865
scientific explanation for this

1279
01:21:10,867 --> 01:21:13,868
or why it happened.

1280
01:21:13,870 --> 01:21:17,304
Although the scientists and other
members of the space agency

1281
01:21:17,306 --> 01:21:19,506
are overwhelmed by this event,

1282
01:21:19,508 --> 01:21:21,876
the defense department can't
help but ask the question

1283
01:21:21,878 --> 01:21:24,211
about these aliens.

1284
01:21:24,213 --> 01:21:25,444
Is it in their best interest...

1285
01:21:26,949 --> 01:21:28,949
If the human race survives?

1286
01:21:28,951 --> 01:21:32,253
Every astronaut is fitted
with a tracking device.

1287
01:21:32,255 --> 01:21:33,954
So, in the early hours
of this morning,

1288
01:21:33,956 --> 01:21:36,290
the military honed in
on a tracking signal

1289
01:21:36,292 --> 01:21:38,893
that was consistent
with the device

1290
01:21:38,895 --> 01:21:40,194
carried by astronaut
Jim Marcell.

1291
01:21:41,597 --> 01:21:43,631
They found him wandering around

1292
01:21:43,633 --> 01:21:47,468
in a state of complete shock
in the Arizona desert.

1293
01:21:47,470 --> 01:21:51,005
And, um, we have no idea
how he got there.

1294
01:21:56,311 --> 01:21:58,345
I think maybe
we can assume that,

1295
01:21:58,347 --> 01:22:00,381
now that the void
has disappeared,

1296
01:22:00,383 --> 01:22:03,951
his role as a conduit
is no longer necessary.

1297
01:22:03,953 --> 01:22:07,955
Unfortunately, um, Jim Marcell
has no recollection

1298
01:22:07,957 --> 01:22:10,124
of what happened to him
on the other side of the void.

1299
01:22:10,126 --> 01:22:13,594
And he will need some time to
come to terms with recent events.

1300
01:22:15,697 --> 01:22:18,065
We really have no idea

1301
01:22:18,067 --> 01:22:20,534
what he experienced on
the other side of the void.

1302
01:22:35,050 --> 01:22:37,151
Since the disappearance
of the void

1303
01:22:37,153 --> 01:22:40,421
and the black spheres, we've
been noticing a lot of strange

1304
01:22:40,423 --> 01:22:43,958
and fascinating activity
above our planet.

1305
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,659
An aftermath of recent events.

1306
01:22:45,661 --> 01:22:50,364
This swirling cloud of gas,
and dust and ice

1307
01:22:50,366 --> 01:22:54,702
could be seen producing
what appeared to be planets

1308
01:22:54,704 --> 01:22:58,138
and their moons being pulled
down into their own gravity.

1309
01:23:02,310 --> 01:23:05,679
It's now looking like
we have a new solar system.

1310
01:23:05,681 --> 01:23:08,282
The fact that
it's actually happened,

1311
01:23:08,284 --> 01:23:10,551
unsettling on, sort of,
the deepest level

1312
01:23:10,553 --> 01:23:14,388
because it throws into question
every single thing

1313
01:23:14,390 --> 01:23:19,660
that I and my colleagues
have learned about our earth,

1314
01:23:19,662 --> 01:23:25,399
our solar system,
space and beyond.

1315
01:23:25,401 --> 01:23:30,337
What resulted was the formation
of a new planet...

1316
01:23:30,339 --> 01:23:32,673
Right next to ours.

1317
01:23:32,675 --> 01:23:37,077
Like a sister planet
directly in our orbit.

1318
01:23:37,079 --> 01:23:41,548
Our unmanned probes performed
atmosphere and surface scans.

1319
01:23:41,550 --> 01:23:45,719
And the resulting data indicated
that this new planet

1320
01:23:45,721 --> 01:23:50,357
has all of the ingredients
required to sustain human life.

1321
01:23:50,359 --> 01:23:54,061
From surface temperature,
to magnetic field,

1322
01:23:54,063 --> 01:23:56,130
water, oxygen.

1323
01:23:56,132 --> 01:24:00,434
It was as though this planet
was custom-built just for us.

1324
01:24:00,436 --> 01:24:03,437
This new planet and its mass,

1325
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,040
it's almost identical
to our planet.

1326
01:24:06,042 --> 01:24:08,742
With a 10% variation in size.

1327
01:24:08,744 --> 01:24:12,613
That's why we're starting to
refer to it as "earth two."

1328
01:24:18,586 --> 01:24:21,388
Future world populations
predicted to soar

1329
01:24:21,390 --> 01:24:27,327
above 12 billion
and resources are running out,

1330
01:24:27,329 --> 01:24:31,498
it's impossible to
accurately determine

1331
01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:34,701
how long we'll actually
sustain life here.

1332
01:24:34,703 --> 01:24:37,371
So when a mission
like this comes along,

1333
01:24:37,373 --> 01:24:45,245
leaders of the world's nations
will pay any cost to be part of this.

1334
01:24:45,247 --> 01:24:47,414
The arrival of earth two
has set off

1335
01:24:47,416 --> 01:24:52,252
what can only be described
as a 21st century gold rush.

1336
01:24:52,254 --> 01:24:53,787
Corporations
and governments alike

1337
01:24:53,789 --> 01:24:55,589
are quickly
positioning themselves,

1338
01:24:55,591 --> 01:24:57,291
and their country's interests,

1339
01:24:57,293 --> 01:24:59,093
for our new neighboring planet.

1340
01:24:59,095 --> 01:25:01,862
The U.N. Has called upon
all leaders from key nations

1341
01:25:01,864 --> 01:25:05,566
to come together to discuss
interplanetary strategies,

1342
01:25:05,568 --> 01:25:07,768
which include the use
of nuclear power

1343
01:25:07,770 --> 01:25:09,837
to assist in colonization.

1344
01:25:09,839 --> 01:25:11,638
Meanwhile,
people all over the world

1345
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,842
are taking to social media
to express their hopes,

1346
01:25:14,844 --> 01:25:17,311
thoughts and concerns.

1347
01:25:17,313 --> 01:25:20,747
Earth two is a chance
to build a new life.

1348
01:25:20,749 --> 01:25:23,851
What I'd like to know is
who is making those decisions?

1349
01:25:23,853 --> 01:25:25,719
Rich and politicians,
they can't be the one

1350
01:25:25,721 --> 01:25:28,689
to make this decision about
our children's future hope.

1351
01:25:28,691 --> 01:25:31,225
I mean, what if there is
life on the new earth?

1352
01:25:31,227 --> 01:25:32,826
I mean, what are we gonna see?

1353
01:25:32,828 --> 01:25:35,462
What are we gonna find
when we get up there?

1354
01:25:35,464 --> 01:25:37,364
We're gonna absolutely
destroy that planet.

1355
01:25:37,366 --> 01:25:38,665
Because the governments
are corrupt.

1356
01:25:38,667 --> 01:25:40,300
We should go to earth two
because that way

1357
01:25:40,302 --> 01:25:42,169
they can stay here
and they can continue to fight.

1358
01:25:42,171 --> 01:25:43,337
I don't buy it.

1359
01:25:43,339 --> 01:25:45,706
I think this is
a mining operation

1360
01:25:45,708 --> 01:25:47,441
for minerals and resources.

1361
01:25:47,443 --> 01:25:49,376
This discovery changed

1362
01:25:49,378 --> 01:25:51,879
everything we know
about the universe

1363
01:25:51,881 --> 01:25:53,647
and about ourselves.

1364
01:25:53,649 --> 01:25:55,782
Not like democracy
exists anyway, right?

1365
01:25:55,784 --> 01:25:58,385
But we should vote on the kind of
people that we want to send there.

1366
01:25:58,387 --> 01:26:00,487
The very best scientists,
the very best artists,

1367
01:26:00,489 --> 01:26:02,189
the very best philosophers,

1368
01:26:02,191 --> 01:26:05,459
and people that actually
think and care about humanity.

1369
01:26:05,461 --> 01:26:08,629
Well, this occurrence has
opened up the Pandora's box

1370
01:26:08,631 --> 01:26:11,231
of whys.

1371
01:26:11,233 --> 01:26:13,834
There's also a whole host
of-of...

1372
01:26:13,836 --> 01:26:16,703
Other complicated questions.

1373
01:26:16,705 --> 01:26:21,341
Specifically, how do we proceed?

1374
01:26:29,417 --> 01:26:32,286
It's been 12 months
since we last saw the void.

1375
01:26:32,288 --> 01:26:34,454
Yet I have this sure feeling,

1376
01:26:34,456 --> 01:26:36,890
they haven't really left us.

1377
01:26:36,892 --> 01:26:38,258
And, if anything,

1378
01:26:38,260 --> 01:26:39,560
they're still observing us.

1379
01:26:41,897 --> 01:26:45,499
Today, we are sending
the first manned spacecrafts

1380
01:26:45,501 --> 01:26:46,833
to earth two.

1381
01:26:50,873 --> 01:26:55,542
The space agency decided that
we send only human 2.0s first

1382
01:26:55,544 --> 01:26:58,612
with the intention of
running tests on earth two

1383
01:26:58,614 --> 01:27:00,347
in order to lay down
the foundations

1384
01:27:00,349 --> 01:27:02,282
for when the time is right

1385
01:27:02,284 --> 01:27:05,352
to commence sending humans
to settle down

1386
01:27:05,354 --> 01:27:09,957
and colonize for
future generations.

1387
01:27:32,013 --> 01:27:35,549
But one does wonder whether
we will make the same mistakes

1388
01:27:35,551 --> 01:27:37,651
we've been making for centuries.

1389
01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:47,461
How can we ensure this new home

1390
01:27:47,463 --> 01:27:48,929
brings out the best in us?

1391
01:27:51,833 --> 01:27:55,335
Or how we, and our
future generations,

1392
01:27:55,337 --> 01:27:58,405
don't make the same mistakes
we did in our past,

1393
01:27:58,407 --> 01:28:02,309
and prove that our existence
was worth saving.

1394
01:28:06,648 --> 01:28:08,949
We were so obsessed
with discovering new life

1395
01:28:08,951 --> 01:28:11,285
when, on reflection,

1396
01:28:11,287 --> 01:28:14,588
we have still yet
to discover ourselves.

1397
01:28:20,695 --> 01:28:24,364
We now have another chance
to do just that.

1398
01:28:25,305 --> 01:28:31,515
