:38:01
that this event will never happen again?
:38:06
None, Senator.
:38:09
The incident in Chicago was tragic,
to be sure.
:38:12
But sometimes that is the price we must pay
:38:15
to ensure our competitive edge in the future.
:38:18
We didn't intend to pay for
our space exploration programme
:38:22
with the lives of ten American astronauts.
But we did.
:38:25
Nevertheless,
we must not waver in our commitment
:38:29
to scientific research and development.
:38:32
As you gentlemen know,
:38:35
there are many threats to our way of life.
:38:38
And not all of them wear uniforms
:38:40
and carry guns.
:38:42
Mr Shannon, I want to thank you for your
appearance today before this committee.
:38:48
You have spoken like a true patriot
:38:50
of whom this country can be very proud.
:38:54
Thank you, sir.
:39:06
- I think I'm getting through.
- What about Lucasz?
:39:09
He never got over
not getting his credentials.
:39:12
No-one on the team could have done this.
:39:15
Whoever is doing this
knows an awful lot about us.
:39:19
If I hadn't have shown up,
:39:21
they would have thought it was an accident.
:39:24
And nobody would know
what's really going on.
:39:29
Oh, my God.
