Tom helped with the launch of the new Earth-Mars communications satellite. Fifty-two minutes before the scheduled launch, he reported all systems were ready. Mere minutes later, as a battle between the Team and Manta Troopers raged on the beach nearby, Tom asked Carol to abort. Carol declined, and instead brought down the countdown to two minutes. It launched safely, but to the shock of Tom and Carol, the rocket exploded in the air.[3]
