Episode Synopsis[]

Stranded in orbit, an astronaut must choose between life and limb before her oxygen runs out.

Plot[]

Alexandria Stephens attends to a faulty satellite in Earth orbit. During a spacewalk, her old-model EVA suit is hit by a stray screw from orbital debris, casting her hopelessly adrift with only 14 minutes of oxygen. She seals the upper left arm of her suit using her watch strap, then removes the left glove, exposing her left arm to the vacuum of space. Throwing the glove pushes her back toward the satellite, but she narrowly misses grabbing hold. As she drifts back past her beaten up maintenance vehicle The Anthem, she decides to break off her now frozen left forearm, and throws it in a last ditch attempt to make it back to her ship. Back onboard, she performs emergency self triage then radios Bill, her ground controller, who asks with relief if she "still need[s] a hand?"
