what the hell happened and what the monolith is all about.

There is a launch window in 31 days when Earth is in the proper position.

and now all those programs will have to be dumped.

Curnow is a capable man. No one knows those systems better than he does.

How long will it take?

So here we are on your actual brink.

No, I think you're wrong.

- Who's the third? - Chandra.

For two minutes, I will tell only the truth.

Understand, nobody can talk. The accents will confuse him.

If all goes well, we'll wind up in a gentle orbit around Io.
