Hi, Joe.
:12:08
We've been...
:12:10
I see.
:12:17
Thanks.
:12:19
Bye.
:12:27
I'm afraid you're gonna have to tell
your wives and kids the bad news.
:12:35
You won't be seeing much of them
for the next couple years...
:12:37
because we got the contract.
:12:53
You did it, Tom.
:12:55
No, I'm trying to hit the flashing.
:12:58
The contract. You did it.
:13:00
Oh, well, we did it.
We all did it.
:13:06
Quite a story, really.
:13:07
- "Local Long Island boy makes good."
- Yeah, yeah.
:13:10
"Local Long Island boy
convinces government...
:13:12
to give local Long Island company
half a billion dollars."
:13:18
But the rubber balls
you're gonna have to pay for yourself.
:13:26
You know, if weight wasn't a factor,
we'd have this thing done in a year.
:13:29
True enough. But weight's gonna be
the most important factor.
:13:36
If we could find some teeny-tiny
astronauts we'd be done in a month.
:13:41
They've given us seven years.
We might as well use 'em.
:13:43
Seven years.
:13:45
Well, let's get started.
:13:51
Okay, specs call for five legs.
I think four will be better.
:13:54
It'll be just as stable,
and we won't have to worry...
:13:56
about interference
with the thruster quads.
