Something wrong with the clip?

Dr. Heywood Floyd:
Dear Caroline: I miss you terribly. The time has come to put ourselves in an orbit around Io, which is where Discovery is. We don't have enough fuel to slow ourselves down, so we are about to use a technique called aerobraking. The theory is, we will enter the outer layer of Jupiter's atmosphere using what is called a "ballute" for a shield. The atmosphere will slow us down, and Jupiter's gravity will grab hold of us and slingshot us around behind the dark side. If all goes well, we'll wind up in a gentle orbit around Io. It's dynamite on paper. Of course the people who came up with the numbers on the paper aren't here. Since no one has ever done this before, everyone up here is as scared as I am. The difference is, they're busy. I have nothing to do but wait for it to happen. I hope this is all worth it.

Dear Caroline I miss you terribly
00:00:04.796 --> 00:00:08.999
The time has come to put ourselves in an orbit around Io
00:00:08.424 --> 00:00:10.259
which is where the Discovery is
00:00:10.551 --> 00:00:13.471
And we don't have enough fuel to slow ourselves down so
00:00:13.471 --> 00:00:16.974
we are about to use a technique called aero braking
00:00:17.475 --> 00:00:21.027
The theory is that we will enter the outer layer of Jupiter's atmosphere
00:00:21.027 --> 00:00:24.315
using what is called a ballute for a shield
00:00:24.649 --> 00:00:28.695
The atmosphere will slow us down and Jupiter's gravity will grab hold of us
00:00:28.695 --> 00:00:31.906
and slingshot us around behind the dark side
