Today Charles
Lindberg is a hero.

But you remember
back in the 1920s?

They used to call
him "the flying fool."

They said if God had
meant for people to fly...

He would have given them wings.



Yeah.

Oh, Tess, isn't it lovely?

We've been together so long,

I know just what
you're going to say.

Well, the point I
was trying to make

is that God gave man
something better than wings...

He gave them dreams.

Well, anyway,

the child that grew
up in this house

had a lot of dreams

and a wonderful,
encouraging mother.

Look at this.

Ray guns.

A telescope.



Bet this little boy would
grow up to be an astronaut.

Little boys aren't the only ones

who reach for the
stars, Miss Wings.

At least that's what
Josie's mother told her.

"This book belongs
to Josephine."

The launch of the Hubble
Space Telescope in 1990

was a great leap at
understanding our universe...

Until last month.

We believe a piece of
space debris tore a hole

in one of Hubble's
solar arrays, which is why

next week's launch is so vital.

To get Hubble repaired
and back on track.

Excuse me, sir.

Aren't there six
astronauts on this mission?

Yes. Major Saunders is
one of the two astronauts

who will be doing the EVA.

She'll be doing the repairs
on Hubble's solar array.

Unfortunately, the major
won't be with us today

due to a family emergency.

There you go, Major.

I'll take your bag.

Major Saunders?

Yeah, I know I'm late.

Uh, Major, my name is Andrew.

I'm with NASA Public Affairs.

I've got clearance for this jet.

My mother's very sick,
and I'm in quarantine

and I can't visit her.

- Yes, Major, I'm aware of...
- So the least I can do is

fly over, let her know
I'm with her in spirit.

You got a problem with that?

Major... your mother died...

about an hour ago. Very sorry.

But as you say, she is still

with you in spirit.

Why do people always
say stuff like that?

It doesn't help.

Excuse me.

Josie lost more than a mother.

She lost her North Star.

The only person
who always gave her

a sense of direction.

Or tried to.

That must be very frightening.

Josie's never known
the meaning of fear.

But she will.

She will.

Josie always
wanted to be a hero.

A pioneer like, like Lindberg.

But her mother only
wanted her to be happy.

Were they very close?

Very close, but very different.

The mother put all
of her faith in God.

But Josie would
only trust science.

So she joined the
Air Force and NASA

to prove to her mother
what she could do.

But her mother wanted to
prove to her what God could do.

Her mother was a good woman.

And her faith sustained
her through a long

and terrible illness.

Well, she's at peace now.

Baby, a woman with that
much faith is always at peace.

And she wanted so to
share that with her daughter.

Must have broken her heart
to know that she was dying

and there was nothing she
could do to help her daughter.

Who said that?

Did I say that? I
never said that.

Okay, guys, I've
got the official word.

Flight director says
the weather in Florida

is definitely clearing.

Looks like you are a
go for Thursday morning.

All right, ready for your
spacewalk, Mr. DeMille?

I am if Josie is.

Well, she got back

from the, uh,
funeral this morning.

She's been cleared
to reenter quarantine.

So she's a go.

The funeral was Saturday?

- It was beautiful.
- I sure wish

I could've been there for her.

We all do.

Josie knows that.

Knows what?

- Hey, welcome back.
- Hey, Air Force.

Hey. Thanks, you guys.
Thanks for everything.

The flowers and...

Man, you guys eat
any more donuts,

we're not gonna
get off the ground.

You're supposed
to save them for me.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- No, no, no.

We know what you got in mind.

Okay, guys...

You all know the
purpose of this mission.

And you know how
much this thing is worth.

But as far as I'm concerned,

one billion dollars
worth of hardware

is nothing compared to
your most valuable cargo.

My wife.

So I want her back in one piece.

Got it?

- You got it. Yes, sir.
- You got it, sir.

Didn't mean to make
you blush there, Major.

First, I don't blush.

Second, I'm not...

You are not the world's
most expressive woman,

I know.

But I know you. Look,
don't get defensive,

but I've got to bring this up.

Just because you've been
okayed to fly physically

doesn't mean that
emotionally you're ready to go.

I'm fine.

Is that the astronaut talking

or is that the
grieving daughter?

Depends. Is it the CAPCOM
talking or my husband?

It's a little of both.

All you ever wanted
was for your mom

to watch you go into space,

and now that's not gonna happen.

And I think you're
angry about that.

And I think you're
a little scared.

That's crazy. I'm not scared.

I mean, I'll admit
I'm furious that...

she refused radiation.

It's like she just gave up.

- Honey, she was ready to go.
- No. No one's ready to go.

Major Saunders, I'm
sorry to disturb you.

We have a little girl visiting
Space Center Houston

who is scheduled for brain
surgery and the prognosis

isn't very good.

Anyway, she wants to
meet her favorite astronaut.

So do you think that you can
spare a couple of minutes?

How could I be her
favorite astronaut?

I haven't gone up yet.

I don't know. You're
gonna have to ask her that.

Honey, you don't have
to do this right now.

That's okay. P.R. is
part of the job, right?

Major Saunders, this is Diana.

Hi, Diana.

Hi.

You know, I think you
can take the mask off.

You don't have a cold
or anything, do you?

No.

Just cancer.

Can't catch that, you know?

It's in my brain.

It's called...
astro... something.

Astrocystoma.

Astrocystoma.

Astronaut.

We have a lot in
common, you know?

You think so?

Yeah, because...

You've never been up
in space before and...

I've never been in
an operation before.

And they're both kind of scary.

So Diana wants to be
an astronaut one day.

Right?

Mm-hmm. As long as they have

peanut butter and
jelly up in space.

Hey, you're in luck.
Only we eat it on tortillas

'cause you can't
have crumbs in space.

You can't have
crumbs in bed either.

I know because...

I spend a lot of time there.

But I read a lot.

Mostly about astronauts.

You know what my favorite
story was when I was your age?

Story about Charles Lindberg.

He was the first person
to cross the Atlantic.

All by himself.

I feel kind of like that.

What if something goes wrong?

Uh... Diana, I'm
sure your surgery

will go just fine.

No, I meant up in space.

Aren't you scared?

No, nothing will go wrong.
Nothing I can't handle.

Then there's nothing
to be afraid of?

Nope.

Why are you so brave?

So what you got there?

Oh... yeah, um, would
you do me a favor?

Would you mail this for me?

"To God, from Diana."

You're gonna need a
lot of stamps for this.

Not in the mailbox.

I meant up in space.

See I figured since

you're gonna be up there that...

you'll be closer to heaven.

Where God lives with the Angels.

Yeah, Diana, I'm
sorry but I got to go.

I have to go practice
my spacewalk.

It was nice meeting you, okay?

And you hang
in there, all right?

- Keep them closed.
- I am. It's not a problem

keeping them closed,
I'm afraid of opening them.

A little bit further.

A little bit further.
Okay, okay.

Turn.

Okay, open.

Full moon, starlight, and, uh,

fine old space punch.

Really, a, a very good month.

To you.

Clink.

So, what is it?

I know the meal wasn't
exactly, you know...

No.

It was wonderful.

It's was so sweet.

Thank you. I loved it.

Mm, I just...

I can't stop thinking
about that little girl.

She reminded me of
this story I used to have

about Lindbergh
crossing the Atlantic.

I used to make my mom
read it to me every night

before I went to bed.

I thought he must've
been the bravest man ever.

I don't know.

That little girl, she
wanted me to give her

some of the courage
that she thought I had.

And all of a sudden,

I realized, I don't know
where my courage comes from.

I don't even know
if I've ever had it.

I never even thought
about risk before.

All I ever thought about was...

showing my mom what I
could do on my own, you know?

No prayers, no God, just me.

And now that she's gone,

I don't even know
why I'm doing it.

I mean, am I crazy or
what... I'm going into space.

Nope.

You're very strong,
and very smart,

and very brave.

And you're my hero.

Guess I'll talk to
you soon, huh?

Up in space?

Can't think of anyone I'd
rather communicate with.

Josie!

Josie!

Oh, no.

Is that Diana?

Oh, man, I can't deal with this.

Did I tell you about
that letter she gave me,

she wants me to take
it up and give it to God?

Oh, that sounds kind of sweet.

What does it say?

I don't know. I threw it out.

Josie.

No, not today.

No, I've had God shoved
down my throat my whole life.

I got something for you.

Drove up to your
mom's house last night.

I figured you could use
a little bedtime reading

down at the Cape.

Thank you, honey.

Anything for you.

Do me one favor though.

Just wave once.

Josie!

Look, Andrew, she sees me.

I see that.

Is she going to make it?

Who, Diana or Josie?

I meant Diana.

Is Jos...?

I wouldn't waste
any time up there.

Count resume, T-minus 11,

ten, nine, eight, seven, six...

What if something goes wrong?

Something goes wrong?

What if something goes
wrong? Goes wrong?

Mom!

Oh.

Ah.

What's going on in here?

Oh, no, it's all right, Tess.

According to that,
you've already blasted off.

No, no, it's just a bad dream.

I'll be okay in a minute.

You're sure about that, huh?

And if something is
keeping you awake,

I need to know about it.

My husband thinks
I have some sort of

unresolved emotional
thing about my mother.

Well, if you do, don't
you think it's a good idea

to deal with it before
you leave the planet?

I guess I just expected her
to be alive to see me go up.

I mean, I planned it that way.

I really loved her.

She was funny, she was smart,

she was interesting.

But she believed in God

and I could never understand
how someone so intelligent

could buy into a bunch
of fairy tales like that.

And so you set out to
prove her wrong, huh?

When I was little, my
father had leukemia,

and I prayed to God every
single night to make him better.

I prayed every single
night until he died,

and that's when I
realized there was no God,

and after that, I just
wanted to fly away.

Lindbergh did a good
job of flying away.

Yeah, I read everything
I could about him.

He dedicated his first
book to his mother.

She believed in him
every step of the way.

- Like your mother did.
- Don't you see,

if she believed in God,
how could she believe in me?

If... if God is the one
keeping the plane in the air,

then what's the pilot for?

That's what I had
to prove to her.

The only person I had to
have faith in was myself.

That I could make
it on my own, solo,

the way Lindbergh
flew across the Atlantic.

Well, he may have made it solo,

but he didn't do it alone.

Yeah, of course he did.

No, he didn't.

But you won't read about
it in this little storybook.

I'll tell you what
really happened.

You and Lindy had
a lot in common.

He couldn't sleep
before his big flight either.

And that night, baby,

it was raining cats and dogs.

It wasn't just the weather
that kept Lindy awake.

When he was worried,

he had this habit
of talking to himself.

Wind is going to
be out of the west.

Get that compass fixed.

Boy, I wish that
airfield wasn't so soggy.

What is it Mom says?

If horses were wishes...

No, if wishes were
horses... then what?

This is pointless.

Might as well check the field.

What the heck?

Good evening, Mr. Lindbergh.

My name is Monica.

How did you get in here?

You're one of those
reporters, aren't you?

What, did you hide in
the closet, or something?

Are there more of you in there?

No.

You got some nerve.

I saw those newsreel
cameras out front.

Six men have already died
trying to cross the Atlantic.

You can't wait to call me
number seven, can you?

Oh, no.

I pray that you reach
your destination.

People need heroes.

Come on, I'm no hero.

I just believe that men
should fly as far as they can.

It takes quite a leap
of faith to do that.

Leap, huh?

Oh, I'm ready to leap.

You can quote me on that.

You have a long flight ahead.

How will you make
it without any sleep?

They call me the
flying fool, don't they?

The truth is, I don't
know how we'll make it,

but we'll make it.

"We"?

Me and the Spirit of St. Louis.

Just me and the plane up there.

Boy, I wish it would clear up.

If wishes were horses,
then beggars might ride.

Hey.

That's what my mom always says.

Maybe begging isn't the answer.

How do you mean?

You might try a wee prayer.

Look, Monica,

when I was a boy, I used to, uh,

lie awake at night
and stare up at the sky,

and I'd always ask
myself, if God really exists,

how come He
doesn't show himself?

But He does, in a million
different ways, every day.

You only have to look.

Maybe you just can't
see what isn't there.

But He is there,
Mr. Lindbergh, He is.

As surely as the
stars are in the sky.

You just have to lift
up your head and look.

And even then, you can't
take them all in at once.

And so it is with God.

You must seek Him, star by star,

light by light.

I don't get it.

What's your angle?

I'm like you,

I believe you should be
able to fly as far as you can.

Yeah, well,

I'm not going to be
flying much of anywhere

if this weather
doesn't clear up.

What the heck?

So Lindbergh met some
woman named Monica.

I still don't get what he
and I have in common.

Except that neither of
us puts much faith in God.

Well, you haven't
heard the whole story.

At daybreak, he stuffed
his ears with cotton,

and he snapped on his
helmet and his goggles.

And he couldn't get
his plane off the runway

till the very last second.

Over 24 hours and
not a wink of sleep.

Got to stay awake another day.

It's over 2,000
miles to Ireland.

Once I get to Ireland...
the rest is easy.

It's just a... hop
across the channel.

Hop and a leap.

A leap of faith.

He had been 40
hours without sleep,

and he couldn't
go on much longer.

Come on, climb.

Climb, baby, climb.

Oh, please... please help me.

Please... please help me.

We're going down.

Mayday.

We're going down.

Mayday. We're going...

We're going down.

- We're going down.
- Wake up, Josie.

Wake up, baby.

What time is it?

It's time to go and
save the telescope.

Oh... you were
telling me a story.

Well, I couldn't finish
because you fell asleep.

Oh, sorry.

You've got a visitor.

You're kidding... It's
the crack of dawn.

Oh, she's used
to that. I'll get her.

Sally Ride!

Uh, Dr. Ride.

- Hi, Josie.
- Hi.

Have a seat here.

Tess said you might have
some questions for me

before the flight.

I don't think so.

You didn't want to ask me
if I was scared or anything?

- I can't imagine that you were.
- Sure I was.

But you've come this far,
and believe me, it'll be worth it.

The first time you
look down on Earth...

it'll change your
perspective on everything.

Good, I could use a change.

By the way, I met a
little girl back in Houston.

She's got cancer.

- Diana?
- Yeah.

She said you were
gonna mail a letter for her.

- Yeah.
- It's not easy

being a hero to
somebody like that.

But that's sort of what
being an astronaut

is all about, you know?

Going out there and touching
the stars for the ones who can't.

Right?

Right.

T minus five hours
for Discovery liftoff.

Hey, hey, Josie, did you
confirm the Hubble stats

- with the flight director?
- Yep. Ten times.

I can do this with
both my eyes closed.

Hey, can I get some help?

Ask, and you shall receive.

Tess. What are you doing here?

Well, I thought since
you had a few minutes,

I'd finish my story... a
little preflight entertainment.

This couldn't be in
the job description.

You'd be surprised.
Now, listen up,

'cause I'm about to
get to the good part.

After 24 hours in the air,

almost two days without sleep,

Lindbergh couldn't concentrate.

His mind was in a fog,
and so was his plane.

And when his compass broke,

he realized he was lost

and he would be flying
blind from then on.

Where the heck is Ireland?

Now, here's the important part.

While Lindy was struggling
to keep his eyes open,

something happened,

something he wasn't able
to talk about for many years.

But later in his
life, Lindy himself

admitted that he
wasn't up there alone.

What are you saying?

Starting to get
interesting now, isn't it?

His cockpit started filling up

with something he'd
never seen before...

Vapor-like shapes
with no substance.

Lindbergh called them

"visits from the phantom."

What?

I said it's a beautiful
day, Mr. Lindbergh.

It's a beautiful
daydream, anyhow.

Say, you look
like that reporter.

I'm an angel, sent by God.

Yeah.

I'm an American fr-from Paris.

But I got to find Ireland first.

I think I might be
able to help you find it.

Hey... hey, I don't get it.

All of a sudden,
I'm... I'm wide awake.

He wants you to
know that he loves you,

whether or not
you believe in him.

Just as you are flying,

whether or not you believe
in the laws of aerodynamics.

An angel, huh?

Spouting aerodynamics...

in a most beautiful accent.

I'm not from Ireland, but...

I can help you find the way.

You see, you're not just
flying the Spirit of St. Louis,

you're flying with the
Spirit of the Father.

And it is through Him
that you are truly airborne,

held aloft, not just
by currents and winds,

but by the one who created them,

the true God of the
earth and the skies...

and Ireland.

♪♪

Hey... it's... it's Ireland!

So, Lindbergh's mother
was alive to see him land,

plus he got an angel.

Not just an angel, faith.

Well, maybe he ended
up believing, but I don't.

Well, there's a
little girl that does,

and you're her hero.

- How do you know about Diana?
- Oh, you know,

the astronaut grapevine.

I've been thinking,

maybe I could get ahold
of that letter she wrote,

and since you've heard my story,

maybe you would
take a leap of faith, too,

- and you would...
- You mean

on my spacewalk, I
should just let loose

this letter into space?

Like there's not enough
space debris up there already?

And too many people down here

who don't get
angels, never will?

Like you, huh, baby?

Like Diana. I'm not
gonna be responsible

for giving her false hope.

God is not going to do
one single thing for her.

Not any more than
he did for my mother.

Jose, let me check your suit.

Okay, Diana,

you will be able
to see everything

on those three big
screens right there.

See that chair there?

That's where I will be sitting
while Josie's on her spacewalk.

So, I will see you
after the launch, okay?

- Okay.
- All right.

- Thanks, Andrew.
- Sure.

Do you think Josie
took my letter?

Well, just in case she didn't,

do you want to
tell me what it said.

I can't.

It's a secret.

Between me and God.

And I know if he gets it
everything will be okay.

You okay?

Yeah. This is where
I'd be saying good-bye

- to my mom right now.
- Oh.

She would have said,
"I'll be praying for you,"

and I would have said,
"Mom, stop driving me crazy."

You, uh, you want
me to drive you crazy?

No. But thank you.

I've got to go to work.

All support team members

verify go for launch.

Okay, Eddie, it looks like
we're ready to proceed.

We look forward

to seeing you back
here in ten days.

Okay. Thanks to everyone
for all their support.

Let's get Matt back in the bay.

Roger that, Houston.

What kind of rate do you
think she's got on her?

I don't know, Eddie.

I guess she's half a mile away
and moving out pretty quick.

Houston, Discovery, anybody.

There's some kind
of rogue object in orbit

emitting a fair degree of light.

A piece of asteroid,

space debris, I
can't make it out.

But it's coming at me; I
can't get out of the way.

Houston, in the blind.

I think we have a
real problem up here.

Must be losing oxygen.

Josie?

The only one you need to
communicate with now is God.

It's not your oxygen
that's in short supply.

It's your faith.

This is a hallucination.

You're like one of
Lindbergh's phantoms.

No.

I was Charles Lindbergh's angel.

God often sends
me to help people

through difficult journeys.

I'll soon be there to
help Diana through hers.

And I was there with
your mother on her last.

My mom?

Yes.

She knew how
much it meant to you

to have her see you
on this day in space.

But she was so tired, Josie,

and a television screen
in a hospital room

watched through
pain and medication

wasn't how she wanted to
share this moment with you.

So, she placed
herself in God's hands,

and trusted that
he would give her

the best seat in the house.

I don't understand.

Your mother did
not miss this day.

She's watching
you at this moment

through the window of Heaven.

And she wants you to know
how proud she is of you.

And she wants you to know
that she's praying for you.

I miss her so much.

I know.

She prayed for you
every day of your life,

and that didn't
stop when she died.

In fact, her prayers
became deeper and richer

because they echo

through the halls of
the Father's house.

Beyond this?

You mean there
really is a Heaven?

Yes.

Beyond and within
and all around.

Heaven begins in the
place where you need Him.

He loves you so much, Josie.

He doesn't care if you
walk in outer space,

as long as you walk with Him.

And He knows that that
first step in His direction

is quite a leap, and
it takes courage.

But remember, there is someone

not just in Heaven
praying for you,

but on Earth as well.

Diana.

Yes.

And just as she wanted
you to be her messenger,

so does God want you to be His.

What does He want me to do?

Deliver her letter.

Join in her prayer.

Share in her faith.

For faith is the lifeline

that connects you to the
Almighty and to each other.

It's where true
courage comes from.

It's a tether that
will never break.

And when the journey seems
too long and too frightening,

it's the silver cord

that will pull you home.

E.V. two, Houston.

In the blind; we're
coming to get you.

Hang in there.

Greg?

Greg, Houston, E.V. two.

I copy that.

I copy that...

You don't how glad we
are to hear your voice.

All right, Eddie's
coming to get you.

We'll have you back in the
bay in just a few minutes.

Discovery, E.V. two.

Eddie, don't sweat it.

I'm having a great
time out here.

Houston, Discovery.

Video downlink
is up and running.

Josie's on camera Charlie.

Based on her heart rate,

she's having a
stroll in the park.

That wife of yours,
she has nerves

of steel.

She's a tough lady;
she always has been.

Houston, E.V. two.

I didn't copy that.

Well, I guess you're
just gonna have to wait

until you get home, aren't you?

Houston, E.V. two.

I have a message
for a friend of mine

who's in the viewing gallery.

Go ahead, E.V. two.

Diana, you asked God for a sign,

and He showed it to me.

All I can tell you is
that God loves you.

And the...

There is nothing
to be afraid of.

Now, I can't be with
you during your surgery,

but I'll be praying
for you every day.

Just like my mom prayed for me.

She's gonna pray for me, Andrew.

Hey, come here.

Diana, we are all
gonna pray for you.

Houston, E.V. two.

Did, uh, Diana get my message?

Diana says copy that.

So, how's the view?

Amazing.

And Houston, the funny thing is

I feel closer to home than ever.

Discovery, hurry it up.

I got a job to finish out here.
