:28:01
And we call it the Messiah.
:28:03
Right now a team of American
astronauts and one Russian
:28:06
are at Cape Canaveral
in Florida.
:28:08
In 2 months, they will leave
on the shuttle Atlantis
:28:12
to board the Messiah.
:28:13
This is the crew
that will stop the comet.
:28:17
I'd like the world to meet
some extraordinary people.
:28:21
First is Mission Commander
Oren Monash.
:28:23
Commander, would you introduce
us to your team?
:28:26
I'd be honoured, sir.
:28:28
Pilot Andrea Baker.
:28:30
Medical Officer
:28:31
Gus Partenza.
:28:33
From Russia,
nuclear specialist
:28:35
Colonel Mikhail
Tulchinsky.
:28:38
Navigator
Mark Simon
:28:39
and Rendezvous Pilot
Spurgeon Tanner.
:28:42
Hello,
Mr President.
:28:45
Captain Tanner,
you flew 6 shuttle missions.
:28:48
You were the last man to walk
on the moon, weren't you?
:28:51
Yes, sir,
:28:52
but Oren here
will be doing
:28:53
most of the flying
on this one.
:28:54
I'll just
be taking us down
:28:55
to the comet's
surface.
:28:57
Well, it's good to know
we're going to have
:28:59
your kind of experience
up there, Captain.
:29:01
Tanner:
thank you, sir.
:29:02
Godspeed to you all.
:29:03
We're counting on you.
:29:04
thank you, sir.
:29:06
Got Beijing, Rome,
Sao Paulo, Cairo, Berlin!
:29:09
Does anyone know how big
the one was
:29:10
that killed
all the dinosaurs?
:29:11
Something majestic, mysterious,
with a fanfare for the intro
:29:14
and a theme
for the longer promos.
:29:15
You want it hitting
the goddam Earth?
:29:17
Well, that's what he's saying.
Bring that up again.
:29:18
It'll scare the shit
out of them.
:29:20
Beck: We will not tolerate any
disruption ofour way of life.
:29:22
Our society will
continue as normal.
:29:25
Work will go on.
You will pay your bills.
:29:28
:29:32
There will be no hoarding.
:29:34
There will be
no sudden profiteering.
:29:36
I'm freezing all wages,
all prices.
:29:40
What a bottle of water
cost you yesterday...
:29:43
it will cost you tomorrow.
:29:46
Now we'll take
a few questions.
:29:47
Reporters: Mr President!
:29:49
Ms Lerner.
:29:50
Ahem.
:29:52
Ahem. Uh,Jenny Lerner,
M--MSNBC.
:29:55
Jenny Lerner?
:29:56
Son of a bitch.
:29:58
Um, Mr President,
