The Scary Story of Veronica Cartwright

It still hasn't been explained to me why they brought a cat to outer space. Who's making decisions? It becomes like succession. Meanwhile, the guy's got an alien on his face. This is the rare case where they needed the horror movie motif of the one person in the crew who kind of freaks out about the alien on the face. Which should have been Veronica Cartwright. But she... What are we gonna do about thealien on the face? That's one of my possibly unanswerable questions.
