:30:04
Those are great words.
:30:07
- He must have been a great man.
- Well, sure.
:30:23
That's the kind of man I'd like to talk to.
:30:27
Bobby, who's the greatest man
in America today?
:30:30
I don't know. The spaceman, I guess.
:30:34
No, I was speaking of earthmen.
I meant the greatest philosopher or thinker.
:30:38
- You mean the smartest man in the world?
- Yes, that would do nicely.
:30:42
Professor Barnhardt, I guess.
He's the greatest scientist.
:30:45
- He lives here in Washington, doesn't he?
- Near where Mom works.
:30:48
- Where's that?
- Department of Commerce. She's a secretary.
:30:51
That man they call the secretary isn't
at all. My mom's a real secretary.
:30:57
Mr. Carpenter,
now can we go see the spaceship?
:31:00
If you like.
:31:15
I'll bet that iron guy's strong
and could knock down a whole building.
:31:19
I shouldn't be at all surprised.
:31:21
I'd like to get inside that ship, see how
it works. What do you think makes it go?
:31:26
A highly developed form
of atomic power, I should imagine.
:31:30
I thought that was only for bombs.
:31:32
No. No, it's for lots of other things, too.
:31:35
- Do you think it can go faster than
the F-86? - Yes, I should think so.
:31:39
- About 1,000 miles an hour?
- Maybe 4,000 miles an hour.
:31:42
And outside the Earth's atmosphere,
a good deal faster.
:31:46
How could they make a landing?
:31:48
There are several ways
to reduce landing speed.
:31:51
You see, the basic problem
is to overcome the inertia...
:31:55
Keep going, mister. He was fallin' for it!
