Michael Dorman: Gordo Stevens

Quotes 

• Gordo Stevens : I've decided I'm not gonna keep secrets anymore. I want the world to know what really happened up there.

  Danielle Poole : So, you want to make an honest man of yourself by exposing me as a liar?

  Gordo Stevens : No. I want to tell the truth. The people should know that you're the real hero, not me.

  Danielle Poole : I know the truth, all right? That's all that matters. I broke my arm to save a fellow astronaut who was going through a rough patch. I'm proud of that.

  Gordo Stevens : Yeah, and I'm proud of you too. And I'm grateful.

  Danielle Poole : Then keep your mouth shut. Because if you breathe a word about what really happened out of some misguided sense of justice, you know damn well they will ground me. And I have worked too hard to get here, Gordo. Don't you dare take that away from me.

• Gordo Stevens : Control inputs are gonna keep changing, but just don't do anything dumb, and you got this.

  Tracy Stevens : What makes you think I'd do anything dumb?

  Gordo Stevens : You married me, didn't ya?

  Tracy Stevens : Roger that.

• Ellen Wilson : Houston, 24. We have a failure to ignite. Master alarm, master caution lights and tone. Nothing's breaking off, but we seem to have a bent bird here.

  Gordo Stevens : Okay. We'll take the dump on your data and see what's gone south.

  Harrison Liu : Well, we're not dead.
