Moonbase 8

Hey, guys.

Just checking in with you guys,

saying how much I miss you and love you.

Caden, I got your drawing of all the planets.

You guys want to check out the kitchen?

Beef-style stew on the stove!

Comes in these little packs.

It's just basically dried-out whatever.

Very salty, so you got to drink a lot of water.

This is our chore wheel. This is how we kind of

keep this place tidy.

Tons of bagels.

Cleaning supplies.

Cap has heartburn, so we always have

Milk of Magnesia standing by.

Check this out.

Turn this on, and it's a little Moon.

Reminds us what we're doing this for.

Hey, Skip. I'm making a little video for my family.

- You want to say hi? - Hi. Hello.

Okay, this is Jeremy, our lab rat.

It's not Jeremy, it's P93.

- It's a... a specimen... - Cutie.

- Hey, Cap, say hi. - Hi, Rook's family.

Look at him go!

That's it. That's our home, right there.

Miss you guys. Love you.

And I can't wait to get a video from you.

Over and out.

That's good.

Save and send.

Good night, family.

What do you want?

I think I hear something outside.

What?

Right there-- a noise.

All right, I'll go check it out.

There you go.

Can you get the middle part here?

There you go. You're all set.

Where's my helmet?

Where are the helmets?

- Where are the helmets? - Oh, come on.

Hey, can you guys keep it down out there?

- I'm trying to sleep. - Where are the helmets?

- Why? - Rook...

We got unexplained noises outside the hab, that's why.

You hear that? You deaf?

I think I was washing 'em last night.

Look, this isn't a joke.

This could be a real emergency.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to get it nice and clean.

Well, that's not gonna help us now.

Son of a bitch!

Sorry, Cap.

Cap, come in, come in. Do you have a visual?

I read you. One second.

What do you see, Cap?

Give me a second, I'm not there yet.

Oh, God.

What?

Shit.

Cap, what is it?

Are you okay?

No, no, no!

Cap, come on. Use your words.

What do you see?

I have a confirmation that something has

gotten into our cans.

What do you mean, like a squirrel?

Bigger than a squirrel, I can tell you that.

Raccoon?

Cap, remember, one raccoon equals ten raccoons.

That's only the one you see.

It might be a 'yote.

You might want to come back in.

If there's a pack of 'yotes out there,

they'll gobble you up.

I don't think a 'yote has the strength

to get the lid of these metal cans open.

Scat-- I mean, Cap,

do you see any, um, droppings,

or any kind of animal scat around

that would indicate what kind of animal we're--

we're looking for here?

Oh, yeah, we got some scat.

No, that's a rock.

I'm looking at bicycle tracks.

So unless our coyote has learned to ride a bicycle,

I think we're dealing with a Homo sapien animal.

The worst predator of all.

- Hi, Daddy. - Say "Hi, Daddy."

You want to show him?

Aileen has something to show you.

Like that.

- Had the ultrasound today. - Wow. Look at that.

It's good, heartbeat's strong. I need you

- to send your name choices - I love you, Daddy.

because we are running out of names.

We have used all of the names.

Caden, come say hi to Daddy.

He's in the phone.

Caden said, "That's not Dad, that's a phone."

So he thinks you live inside my phone.

Which maybe you do. We don't know.

Hey, maybe... tell him what I told you.

You know where he is-- he's on the Moon!

Tell him-- tell him what I told you in church.

Oh, you tell him, you tell him.

- No, I don't want... - Okay.

Pastor Nadler's here, by the way.

Hi. He has something to tell you.

Hey, Scott, what's going on?

I just-- I was just saying earlier that-that,

- you know, we're proud of you, - Yes, we are.

and we just know you're gonna be sharing God's message

- with the universe and... - Yes!

just keep doing what you're doing.

Yes, amen, we love you!

We love you, Daddy!

I mean, I don't get it.

Who'd want to take our cans?

Could be artists

looking for materials.

Out here?

Could be trick or treaters.

What do you...?

Could be, just, circus people

who lost their way or something, I-I don't know.

Probably not, but...

I don't even care who it is.

I don't even care that they're messing with us.

You know what I care about?

I care about the fact that we need to get outside

faster than we're getting outside.

We need to get those suits on.

We need our emergency protocol time

shrunk down.

Because if we're on the Moon, that's life and death.

- Right, Rook? - What?

I don't-- Yeah, sure.

We got to speed it up.

- I don't know. - What?

I'm sorry if this is not interesting to you,

but it is important,

and we need you with us.

Oh, I'm with you, Cap.

I'm with you 24/7.

What are you doing?

Who is it?

Hey, Rook.

- You got a sec? - Yeah. What's up?

Listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for snapping at you.

Well, thanks for saying that. I appreciate it.

You all right?

Seems like something's bothering you.

Just, like,

missing my brood.

I would just do anything to go home right now

and smell my son's hair, you know...

Yeah, I get it. Homesickness, right?

Exactly. And Sue's due in a couple weeks.

I just feel like I should be home for that.

What? She is?

Yeah, I... I've been telling you guys about it,

basically every morning at breakfast.

Su-- Okay, Sue, your wife. Sorry.

Yeah, so I wanted to just talk to you about space travel.

The thing about space is

you need to manage your isolation.

And you have to make sure you're getting enough human touch.

Yeah, I know, I mean, I mean...

we should shake hands more, I guess.

No, I'm guessing that you need a little skin on skin.

I don't need that right now, thank you.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, get up.

Don't be shy, it's nothing.

- What-- What are you doing? - This is not a--

This is not sexual. It's not anything.

- Come on, just touch. - What?

Good. All the way in.

Just like that.

- Like this? - Yep. That's it.

- Okay. - Follow me?

- Yep. Yeah. Thank you. - Are we good?

- Thank you. Yep. - Okay, we're gonna break now.

- Ready? Break. - Okay.

- Got it? - Yes. Thank you.

- All right. - This is,

This is yours. Here you go.

Yeah, that is me.

- All right. - All right, see you, Cap.

We're gonna work on that suit time, though, okay?

Yep. All right.

So, as you know, my father led

the design team for the original Apollo mission space suits.

And they discovered

they were able to cut down the suit-up time.

They had to choreograph every move so that it became

muscle memory.
