1:20:17
We just got a huge speed jump.
1:20:18
We just got a huge speed jump.
1:20:19
We're at 95 knots.
1:20:21
110.
1:20:22
130... 140.
1:20:25
Our speed's jumped
because the density of the core

1:20:28
is different than our estimates.
1:20:29
It's lighter
than we thought.

1:20:31
So much for best guesses.
1:20:32
I'm fine with this.
1:20:33
At this rate, we'll, what...
1:20:34
hit the inner core
in a little over five hours.

1:20:36
I think we finally
1:20:37
bought some luck.
1:20:38
Braz.
1:20:39
- Yeah.
- Would you please

1:20:40
punch the new core density
into the equations

1:20:43
for the nuclear detonation?
1:20:48
Please tell me this is enough.
1:20:56
Okay.
1:20:56
You're telling me
1:20:58
the 1,000 megatons
of nuclear warheads

1:21:00
we hauled down here
isn't going to cut it?

1:21:01
No. This core material
is too thin.

1:21:05
- What?
- The energy waves from

1:21:06
the explosion
won't spread far enough.

1:21:07
They'll just bleed
away into nothing.

1:21:14
That's it.
1:21:15
We go home.
We go home.

1:21:18
- Home?
- What?

1:21:20
Our Commander is dead.
1:21:21
Our weapons specialist is dead.
1:21:23
Our weapons control systems
are gone.

1:21:25
We don't know whether
we can arm the nuclear devices,

1:21:27
and our plan to fix the core
no longer works. So...

1:21:30
we have failed.
1:21:31
We have not failed.
1:21:32
We have failed, and we go home,
1:21:34
and we go to the alternative.
1:21:37
What alternative?
1:21:37
What are you talking about?
1:21:39
General,
this is Dr. Conrad Zimsky.

1:21:41
Destiny is a go.
1:21:42
Repeat.
1:21:43
Destiny is a go.
1:21:45
Damn.
1:21:50
I need to know everything
to do my job.

1:21:53
You don't have to know this.
1:21:55
General, it is my job
1:21:57
to ensure the safety
of this mission.
