The Astronauts

With morale at an all-time low, Elliot takes it upon himself to rally the group with a team-building exercise involving using a high-tech camera to make a movie.

Mission Control implements a new plan of attack: unplugging Matilda from avionic control and transferring it to the ground. In the middle of this task, Samy has to undergo emergency surgery without the aid of a medical professional onboard.

Mission Control failed to transfer control to the ground, which means the kids are now driving the space craft. With only one day of training, the kids must steer a spacecraft into Venus's orbit without it burning up in the planet's atmosphere.

An unexpected development prompts doubts among the kids about returning home, and an unknown threat attempts to destroy the Odyssey before the astronauts can make their next move.
