NASA control room, waiting for signs of Atlantis reentry; ambience. Look, if I learned anything as a kid watching SpaceCamp, it was that you do not make friends with cute robots that beep like R2D2 and don’t ever sit in a space shuttle cockpit during an engine test.

We have had some sinister ambience homages lately, so I figured it might be a good time to visit outer space—or at least hang out in a place anxiously awaiting communication from space. This week’s episode is based on the scenes with Tom Skerritt and the guy who played Locke on Lost.
