Summary
"Marleau was Rose's backup, so who's her replacement?" he hears Hayden ask.
Wiebe sighs, "We, uh," He sighs again, "Ilya Rozanov."
OR Shane Hollander is the next commander set to fly in NASA's Apollo program, the youngest in history, and is ready to travel through space and land on the moon with Hayden Pike and Rose Landry in Apollo 13. However, budget cuts and an unfortunate measles exposure leaves Shane flying with not two fellow astronauts, but one, Ilya Rozanov.
Ilya Rozanov was Russia's best up-and-coming pilot, now defected to America he has long accepted he will only ever be an Astronaut in name and not practice. But, when he's suddenly told he's now the Command Module and Lunar Module pilot in the mission a certain freckled pilot from his training class is commanding, Ilya has no choice but to accept.
When, during a routine stirring of the oxygen tanks, there's an explosion that threatens the lives of both astronauts on board, Shane and Ilya are forced to work together in order for them to have a chance at making back to Earth, alive.
