Meanwhile, the ship's literal "waste shield" has ruptured, and Ryan has "volunteered" for a spacewalk he is 100% not qualified for. 👩‍🚀🚀 : Ryan trying to learn engineering "lingo" on the fly.

:If you thought things couldn't get worse on the Avenue 5 , Episode 4: "Wait A Minute, Then Who Was That On The Ladder?" just proved us wrong. 💩
