Well done, Commander Grier
Houston is proud of you
Remember to log your dailies
This is day three, December 23rd
Phase 1 of the Anomaly program completed...
STA 1 is installed and is finally operational after days of delay...
Solar flare activity has been unprecedented
Well...
There is nothing quite like it
This is Commander Oliver Grier,
on board Anomaly One.
Anomaly One - Out.
We began...
Love blossoms like a flower,
in its right time...
Don't fall...
If you go...
Will you miss me?
I think maybe...
You know, I just feel like anything is possible.
Will you miss me?
We realize how dry we were
How barren
How thirsty
We cannot write our own story
I like it...
No...
Our story is being written for us
and it is...
...magnificent
Will you come with me?
Yeah...
Into space?
You haven't done any training...
I wanna show you something...
I borrowed it from the base
You can use this to talk to me... when I go
And in other news this evening...
Coming soon...
Pictures of our moon...
As NASA astronaut, Commander Oliver Grier...
Installs a space telescope...
Beyond Earth's atmosphere
The Anomaly One mission is underway
I spoke with Commander Grier
Before he set upon on his mission
More, just after this...
I believe that this nation should commit itself...
To achieve the goal...
Before this decade is out...
Of landing a man on the moon...
And returning him, safely to the Earth
No single space project in this period...
Could be more impressive to mankind...
Or more important for a longer exploration
Yes?
Dr. Fitz...
Dr. Fitz, I know it's been several years...
but uhm...
I'm wondering what you can tell me about the Bayt Lahm comet?
I don't know what you are talking about...
Please don't call here... anymore
Good day to you
The vast universe,
the small
and infinite,
are aligned in ways,
measurable and ordered...
Haley?
Doctor is ready for you now
Commander Grier - we're experiencing electronic interference
caused by unexpected solar activity...
Transmissions might be affected...
Were keeping an eye on the situation
But please stand by - Over
Mission Control, this is Anomaly One
There is a hell of a lot of activity up here
Mission Control, do you copy?
Anomaly One, go ahead...
Its a fling...
I told you what you're going to do...
You're gonna say good bye...
Or you're going to jeopardise your future
And believe me...
I did not work my ass off, for you to run my name into the ground
Proceed on pressing... [distorted]
Mission Control, do you copy?
Anomaly One?
Mission Control, do you copy?
Oh for God's sake, son, use your brain...
She's a distraction
Opportunities like this do not come along everyday
Is anybody out there?
Can anyone hear me? - Over
Anomaly One, please respond
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
Can anyone hear me?
This is Commander Oliver Grier
on board Anomaly One - Over
Haley?
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
Hey, I'm sorry, OK?
I'm sorry...
It's OK...
No, it's not
It's not OK
I don't know why he's like that
It's OK
I'm not what they want...
Yeah, well, you're all I want
Hey...

Only you
No...
It's only you
This is Commander Oliver Grier
Is there anyone out there?
What are you gonna do?
What are you saying, Oliver?
I repeat, is there anyone out there?
Should we... should we go and announce the news now?
Huh?
Haley's pregnant
Everybody...
We don't know how it happened
I can't do this...
Can anyone hear me?
Do you read me? - Over
Coming to you live, from the Public News Studio
in New York city
A very good evening to you!
Tonight, the Anomaly One mission is in it's third day since the launch of the Earth orbiter.
The Anomaly program represents the next crucial step
in executing president Kennedy's challenge
of placing a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
Commander Oliver Grier approaches the half way stage to what has become
the longest continual space flight to date,
already eclipsing the achievement of Soviet cosmonauts,
just a few short weeks ago.
Because Anomaly's telescopes are in orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere,
these far reaching optics enable us to see things that are
otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
These unknown, undiscovered quantities suddenly become
visible,
with unprecedented clarity.
Staying with news from outer space,
we have with us in the studio this evening
a Dr. Gabriel Montrose, the lead astrophysicist at the Deep Space Tracking Facility
in Fort Irwin, California.
Earlier today, the professor announced an upcoming astronomical event,
the arrival of what is being called... the "Bayt Lahm" comet.
Welcome, Dr. Montrose.
Now, as i understand it, you have discovered some kind of new comet?
And this particular comet is heading for Earth?
Yes, that's correct
And when did you and your team make this discovery?
Well, we've known about the Bayt Lahm comet for over a decade,
but we didn't actually see it coming until about three or four days ago.
It's one of the most quickly approaching comets we've ever seen.
Now, do correct me if I'm wrong, professor,
but, we have seen comets in the past, all throughout history in fact.
Do we have any calls for concern here? For alarm?
In terms of proximity, how close are we talking?
Well, most foreign objects, when they enter Earth's atmosphere
they usually break up, they sort of "burn off".
But with the Bayt Lahm comet, because of it's current speed and trajectory,
we think that this comet will enter Earth's atmosphere
somewhere between the next 48 to 72 hours,
and then it will exit again, moments later.
Entering and exiting the Earth's atmosphere?
That's correct, yeah.
Uhm, well Doctor forgive me, but...
If this is such a significant event, why are we only hearing about it just now?
Well, in many ways, I'm just a messenger.
We know about the Bayt Lahm comet because of it's discoverer, Dr. Noel Fitz.
And Dr. Fitz actually theorized its approach probably about a decade ago.
And actually, when he came out with his theory,
he was completely dismissed by the astronomy community.
Completely dismissed...
Well...
Dr. Montrose,
has any sort of similar event of this magnitude ever occurred before, in history?
Never...
Never, no
And I don't think that it ever will again
This is completely unprecedented
You know, which is why we don't... we don't have an hypothesis for such an event
Who will be able to witness this event?
Everyone...
For one moment it will be completely light
Everything...
Anomaly One, we're bringing in... [distorted]
Do you read? - Over
Do...
not...
be...
afraid.
Mary...
I made your favorite dinner...
Food's still on the table
Oh, I'm sorry
I didn't know how late it was, sometimes I just lose track of time
Up all night again?
Mary...
It's happening...
This is the most beautiful thing that we will ever see
You've reached the office of Dr. Noel Fitz
He's currently unavailable,
but please leave your name and number
and he'll get back to you as soon as possible
911, what's your emergency?
Is there anyone there to assist you?
It's me...
I'm on our frequency
I miss you...
I miss you so much
I think we got lost
Maybe...
We've always been lost
We've become...
Strangers...
To ourselves...
To each other
Most of our lives are spent...
searching...
We're blinded
by the dark...
And then we find... we're broken
These separated hearts
lose their rhythm...
To beat together...
To beat... as one
If you can hear me
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Haley
Ready to proceed with this?
What, what are you gonna do?
Dr. Fitz?
Yes...
Yeah, I've been trying to reach you...
Sir, your prediction, Bayt Lahm...
It's imminent
This station has interrupted it's regular programming
to bring you an emergency action notification
at the request of the United States government.
An unprecedented astronomical event is upon us.
You are advised to stay indoors.
Come on boy, we gotta go now, its time
Come on!
[moans in pain]
Nurse!
She's in labour, she needs to go to maternity immediately!
Maternity? We're sending her up!
...Help me...
Let's go!
Get that door!
Come on!
Do not leave your residence,
even in the event of injury to you or your loved ones.
Cover any windows and doorways accessible by visible light.
Seek out a good shelter on the ground where possible.
Do not leave this shelter unless otherwise notified.
Mr. Grier, can you hear me? - Over
She’s fully dilated...
Anomaly One
Push with your contractions...
Mission Control, this is Anomaly One
Mission Control?
Mission Control, I can't hear you
Push!
Anomaly One
Mission Control?
Disengage auto navigation
Breathe, breathe, breathe...

Here we go
Anomaly One
Commander Grier, do you copy?
Anomaly One, Anomaly One...
Commander Grier...
Can you hear me? - Over
Come on, we're almost there...
We're almost there...
Come on!
Push, push, push!
Doctor, heart rate's dropping
Breathe and push...
Breathe...
Heart rate's dropping
One...
People, come on...
Two...
Three...
We're infinite
Made for one another
I'm here...
Made for love
We're undone by our own humanity
By moments of nearness
But we break with distance
When we are alone
It gets so dark, we almost wish it was never light
And then...
In one moment...
One precious moment...
A light shines in the darkness
[Baby cries]
