Incredible episode. This show really has some fantastic ways to end an episode. This completely topped last week's cliff hanger. I'm slightly conflicted here on if I want to see either one or both of them survive. I know that's a bit of a terrible thing to say, but to see how one or both of their deaths effect everyone else would really be something to watch unfold. Though I really do want them both to survive. If only the beetle could reach there a bit faster than the calculated time!

Wow. That was real edge of seat stuff, when Hibito was walking away from Damian and you had the flashback with Damian's wife and son, I was thinking surely he's going to come up with a plan...
Before the ending, I had been wondering if the rips in the surface of the suit they kept showing would be significant. Why can't it be next week already? |

This episode has to be one of the best of the series. First time there is so much dramatic tension in Space brothers. They even ended the episode on a cliffhanger worse than last week's. Can it be next week already?
Incidentally, is this the first episode that didn't feature Mutta?

Wow, that was an amazing ep. Figures that Gibson is stuck in the same place as them. The voice to text tech was pretty cool. Of course Hibito wouldn't leave Damien like that. THough i was wondering how he was going to bring him up considering how he even got to Damien's location, and low and behold he falls himself. Why can't it be next week. Last week's cliffhanger was enough, this week's is too much.

Yeah, come on - it seems self-apparent that Hibito would exclusively be speaking English in his situation. There's no way NASA would have picked him unless his English was fluent and not likely to cause any communications issues on a mission.

When I see the news about the Boeing 787's current maintenance woes, I can't help but think about how the aircraft is shown in Space Bros every time they fly to/from Japan. Figure by 2025 they'll have the kinks all worked out, but for now it creates a very small Funny Aneuyrism Moment.

Considering how this series has often taken its time to explore its storylines from different angles, the most recent episode actually moved along at somewhat of a brisk pace.
It actually would have been a nifty for them to do it in real time, but there's only about 18 minutes of content per episode... |

And so the lives of two astronauts are hinging on Mutta's understanding of his brother's nature of always wanting to be proactive and moving forward. Whether or not NASA will bet on an astronaut trainees hunch might very well be the determining factor.
Twenty minutes of oxygen left. In the end it almost feels like a Sophie's Choice scenario.

I expect the Brian 3 to save the day. Hibitio will find it, and with it find O2, and thus be able to get Damian into the sunlight. Don't forget that once they're out of the canyon, he'll be in radio contact again.

Obviously NASA doesn't know that and we can't blame them. On the other hand we the viewer can't help but know that chances are they'll have to break protocol to save the two's lives.
