And we could even build
a test stand!

[ Homer's Voice ]
Dear Dr. von Braun,
:26:18
our launch site,
which we've named Cape Coalwood,
:26:21
- is nearing completion.
- [ Shouting ]
:26:25
- Thanks to the generosity
of local businesses.
- Come on, baby
:26:27
Let the good times roll
:26:29
Come on, baby
Let the good time roll
:26:33
Roll all night long
:26:37
Inspired by our efforts,
:26:39
everyone is anxious to help
by donating materials.
:26:43
- [ Chattering, Laughing ]
- We've been fortunate to have
the support of our classmates.
:26:48
And the whole community
here in Coalwood is behind us.
:26:51
- Hey, rocket boy. Mars is that way.
- [ Laughing ]
:26:54
But no one has been more encouraging
to our efforts than my father.
:26:56
No, the company doesn't have
any cement left over for launchpads.
:27:01
I just thought I'd ask.
:27:03
Besides, I told you
no more rockets.
:27:06
Uh, you said no more rockets
on company property.
:27:09
And Olga
doesn't own Snakeroot.
:27:11
So, you walk eight miles?
:27:14
Yes, sir.
:27:19
Well, tell me something, Homer.
:27:22
Uh, what exactly is
this Wernher von Braun...
:27:25
and the rest of those Germans
accomplishin' anyway?
:27:28
'Cause if you ask me,
it's nothin' but a stunt.
:27:32
You think, you think catchin' up
to the Russians in space is a stunt?
:27:35
When the novelty wears off,
they're all gonna be sent packin'.
:27:39
- Maybe then they'll have
to find themselves a real job.
- Like minin' coal?
:27:45
You listen here.
:27:47
The coal we mine
makes steel, Homer.
:27:50
And if steel fails,
this country fails.
:27:53
If you had half a damn brain
in your head, you'd know that.
:27:56
