Episode Title:
Magic Trick.
Episode Description:
Chief Butler and Azuma discuss assigning Mutta to a lunar mission, and Azuma believes that Hibito would be inspired to hear of his brother beginning lunar training. However, Butler wants to be cautious—he talks about an old colleague called Ronald Cooper who developed panic disorder after a surviving a plane crash and eventually left NASA. Meanwhile, Mutta decides that he needs to impress Chief Butler—he decides to express his resolve by learning to do a vertical climb roll in his T-38, a move Butler once mentioned in an old interview as being meaningful to him, having been an Air Force pilot before becoming an astronaut. Mutta asks him to look over Ellington airport at 6:30pm as he demonstrates the stunt.
