After the solar panels were removed from Epsilon 6, Mark and Adrian try to come up with a plan to reattach the solar panels to the Epsilon 6 spacecraft .

Despite other proposals from his science team, Mark decides to use a chimpanzee, Marcus, and a dog, Theodore, who were in orbit for a promotional mission. 

After negotiating with Marcus, they convince him to conduct an extravehicular activity to reattach the solar panels.

Marcus is recovered by a Chinese spacecraft. They try to get Theodore to finish the repairs only to discover that Marcus had eaten Theodore some time ago. 

Mark attempts to resign from his position, but that is denied by the Secretary of Defense. Tell him to rest saying that is not his mistake.
