wrong.
JEREMY
Do you think the calculations were wrong?
CARLOS
I don't know, and at this point, I don't
really care. What's done is done. Life is
too short to play the blame game. Well,
my life is anyway. I knew the risks going
in. I was the first man to reach Jupiter.
I'll live forever.
JEREMY
That's a great attitude to have.
CARLOS
Ironically, by the time my life support
fails, I'll have doubled the distance
record for a manned spaceflight.
JEREMY
I wish there was something I could do.
CARLOS
Actually, there is. Now that we've
verified I won't be returning to Earth,
will you tell me what you did to so

these men some privacy.
The crew exits.
JEREMY
I'm a little nervous about telling you
this story. What if someone is monitoring
this frequency?
CARLOS
This is a short range channel. No one
cares about our private conversation.
Come on, I'm dying to hear how you won
over the richest man in the world.
JEREMY
Are you ready for the story of your life?
CARLOS
That good, huh?
JEREMY
Oh yeah. Remember the E.T. signal of
2018?
CARLOS
Of course.
JEREMY
It wasn't just the signal that reached
Earth.
