MIRANDA: This is Dr. Miranda North,
quarantine officer on board
the International Space Station.
Today the Pilgrim capsule,
with its valuable Mars soil samples,
completes its eight-month return from Mars.
Preparing to receive these samples
has been the purpose of our mission
these last few months.
But the Pilgrim capsule is damaged.
At 0630 UTC, Pilgrim was struck by debris
and veered off course.
Rory Adams will spacewalk
to establish visual contact
with the incoming space capsule,
and he will grab it with a remote arm.
We've been waiting a long time
for this sample,
and Rory is placing himself at great risk
to secure it.
Over and out.

MIRANDA: But if you can't, Rory,
just push the capsule into deep space, okay?

Sorry, CDC out of my face?
