Anchorman: Propelled by 500,000
pounds of liquid fuel,
:38:14
the shuttle crew heads toward
their initial destination.
:38:17
When the crew
enters the Messiah,
:38:19
they will find a payload
of 8 nuclear devices
:38:21
that will eventually be
used to blow up the comet.
:38:24
The Messiah itself
will be powered
:38:25
by an experimental
nuclear propulsion system
:38:28
that was originally created
:38:29
for a very
different purpose.
:38:32
That programme
was called Orion.
:38:35
Now, with the help
of Russian engineers,
:38:37
a technology designed to propel
weapons of mass destruction
:38:41
will power the ship
that will intercept
:38:42
the greatest threat
our planet has ever faced.
:38:54
Tulchinsky:
Orion burn...

OK, Beth,
White House reactions.
:39:19
Marianne,
the whole world watching.
:39:21
We have enough
satellite space?
:39:22
78 uplinks.
:39:23
Tim, Mission Control
in Houston.
:39:25
Ira, the science guys
lined up?
:39:26
If they got a Ph.D.,
we own them.
:39:28
All right, this is the most
important story of our lives.
:39:30
Let's not muck it up.
:39:32
Stuart,
what about me?
:39:34
- You're on the anchor desk.
- Whoa!
:39:35
And you could have
been there a lot sooner.
:39:37
What are you
talking about?
:39:38
You know what
I'm talking about.
:39:39
Don't ever hold back
a story from me again.
:39:53
Hefter: Messiah, Houston.
:39:54
Transfer trajectory is go.
:39:56
We'll cancel MCC-1 .
:39:58
You're go
to configure for coast.
