-Clear.

How many hits you get on your website
yesterday, Pettengil?
:04:12
-I got 500,000.
-That's great.
:04:16
How many did you get?
:04:17
A TU, 13. 6 degrees.
:04:19
832.
:04:22
All from your mother?
:04:34
You know, it's strange. It's gone.
:04:37
Yesterday I could see it. Today I
looked and I couldn't find it.
:04:41
So what? You think the Earth just
vanished? It's gone forever?
:04:44
-It's weird not being able to see it.
-Yeah, so it's weird.
:04:47
You'll get over it, or you won't.
:04:52
Just something I wasn't expecting,
that's all.

Taught me to read the stars.

"Just in case all the GPS satellites
fell out of the sky," he said.
:05:18
He said, "Any man who puts his life. . .
:05:21
. . .in the hands of a bunch
of batteries is an idiot. "
:05:24
A real Yankee.
:05:26
No, he just wouldn't approve something
he couldn't build with his hands.
:05:29
-He wouldn't have approved of this.
-Going to Mars?
:05:32
He'd say we were headed for trouble.
:05:35
Say we didn't try.
:05:38
We just finished poisoning the Earth. . .
:05:40
. . .and everyone was dead in 1 00 years.
:05:43
Then what was the point of any of it?
:05:46
Art, beauty, all gone.
:05:48
The Greeks. The Constitution.
:05:51
We've been dying for freedom, ideas.
:05:55
None of it meant anything?
:05:57
And what about religion?
Do we give up on God too?
