:28:01
...we can search more accurately
than at any other facility.
:28:05
We've gotten approval to buy
the telescope time from the government.
:28:10
Now all we really need is the money.
:28:13
A nice presentation, Doctor.
:28:15
But while our foundation arm
has a mandate to support...
:28:19
...experimental programs,
your proposal...
:28:22
...seems less like science,
and more like science fiction.
:28:28
Science fiction.
:28:33
You're right.
:28:35
It's crazy.
:28:37
In fact, it's even worse
than that: nuts!
:28:42
Want to hear something nutty?
:28:43
Two guys wanted to build
a thing called an airplane.
:28:46
People go in it and fly like birds.
Ridiculous, right?
:28:49
What about breaking the sound barrier...
:28:51
...or rockets to the moon, or atomic
energy or a mission to Mars?
:28:55
Science fiction, right?
:28:58
All I'm asking is for you to
just have the tiniest bit of vision.
:29:02
To step back
and look at the big picture.
:29:06
Take a chance on something which could
end up the most impactful moment...
:29:11
...for humanity, for the history...
:29:14
...of history.
:29:19
I'm sorry.
:29:21
I just spent 13 months...
:29:23
...coming into rooms
and talking to people like you.
:29:26
You're my last chance.
:29:29
Sorry I wasted your time.
:29:31
Doctor.
:29:32
Yes, sir.
:29:45
You have your money.
:29:49
Thank you.
:29:52
Thank you.
