NASA Commission on Space Science and Research

The NASA Commission on Space Science and Research produces scientific reports on extraterrestrial evidence, including a disputed document alleging fossilized water molecules on a Mars meteorite. Reporter Ralph Gish confronts C.J. at the morning press gaggle, claiming the White House conceals this report and ties it to the Vice President. This accusation elevates the commission's findings into a political crisis, prompting C.J. to triage the rumor through counsel and private talks with reporters.
