The boys at the Atomic Energy Commission
are about to go ape shit.

:19:03
Is that what you're saying?
:19:05
Apparently, the AEC doesn't think
it makes for good public relations...

:19:08
to bring home radioactive material.
:19:10
Look, this battery is encased
to survive a collision...

:19:15
or explosion
without contaminating anything.

:19:17
As long as it doesn't
bonk somebody on the head.

:19:22
Are you gonna quote me?
:19:24
For Christ's sake, give me
a little credit. What's the plan?

:19:29
The plan is to throw a wrinkle
into a mission...

:19:31
that's already got 11,000
too many wrinkles in it.

:19:34
It's like: Forget about the astronauts,
we got politics to worry about.

:19:38
What I'm asking you is:
What do they want you to do about it?

:19:41
We're floating an idea to adjust the
trajectory so we can dump the sucker...

:19:44
in the deepest trench
in the Pacific.

:19:46
If we don't have enough
to worry about already.

:19:49
Emmett says
he has a major break.

:19:51
Something about nuclear radiation
and a trench and the LEM.

:19:53
- He thinks New York should cut in.
- Your call.

:20:03
Yeah, I know.
:20:07
Maybe we should
save this for the six.

:20:10
I'll talk to you later.
:20:22
Aquarius, is the noise any better now?
:20:26
- Negative.
- How do you read us now?

:20:30
We still have noise.
I'll tell you what we need.

:20:34
Get the right procedures here
before we get all balled up.

:20:39
Okay, Jim,
we'll look at it some more.

:20:43
Freddo, I'm afraid this will be
the last moon mission for a long time.

:20:48
Do you agree with Commander Lovell's
assessment that...

:20:51
this will be our last flight
to the moon?

:20:55
I'm sure we've all been
in situations...

:20:57
where we've found ourselves
under pressure...

:20:59
and we make a comment that
we might have phrased differently...
