:38:00
Yep. Most people do.
:38:03
Here.
:38:05
Thank you.
:38:06
You're welcome.
:38:09
Let me introduce our project
leader, Dr. Joshua Keyes.
:38:14
Thank you, thank you.
:38:16
Good evening. Good evening.
:38:20
Wow. This looks like a meeting
:38:22
for Nobel Prize Winners
Anonymous.
:38:25
I know you are all
the finest in your fields
:38:28
and have come a long way
to be here.
:38:30
So, I'll outline our program
over the next three months.
:38:38
Dr. Brazzleton will supervise
the building of a ship
:38:41
which is capable of reaching
the center of our planet.
:38:43
Once there, it will deliver
an explosive charge
:38:46
large enough
to restart its core.
:38:51
Dr. Zimsky will calculate
:38:52
the scale
of the explosion needed.
:38:54
This is a program I designed
to simulate the effect
:38:58
of nuclear detonations
on the core.
:38:59
If my calculations are correct,
a tiny nudge in any direction
:39:02
will force the core back
into its normal flow.
:39:04
What's a "tiny nudge"
in planetary terms?
:39:06
A thousand megatons,
give or take?
:39:07
Tops. Because any more than that
:39:09
would create
a core instability.
:39:11
We made a few monster warheads
in the 200-megaton range.
:39:14
Braz, do you think the ship
can handle five of these babies?
:39:18
Yeah. I can enlarge
the ejection pod...
:39:21
Forgive me,
:39:22
but, you know, I know
I'm not the expert here,
:39:24
but what if the core
is thicker or thinner?
:39:26
I mean, what if it's not
what you think it is?
:39:28
Isn't that going to affect
the way the explosions are...?
:39:30
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
:39:32
And what if the core
is made of cheese?
:39:35
This is all best
guess, Commander.
:39:37
That's all science is,
is best guess.
:39:40
So my best guess is
you don't know.
:39:42
With luck, irony will break
for the good guys for once,
:39:45
and the world's biggest weapons
of mass destruction
:39:46
will help save the world.
:39:49
The ship will be powered
:39:50
by a small experimental
nuclear reactor.
:39:53
It will be divided
into six compartments
:39:55
like cars on a train:
:39:56
The locomotive unit,
navigation compartment,
:39:59
living quarters, engineering,
bomb compartment
