:13:00
Oh, well, we did it.
We all did it.

:13:06
Quite a story, really.
:13:07
- "Local Long Island boy makes good."
- Yeah, yeah.

:13:10
"Local Long Island boy
convinces government...

:13:12
to give local Long Island company
half a billion dollars."

:13:18
But the rubber balls
you're gonna have to pay for yourself.

:13:26
You know, if weight wasn't a factor,
we'd have this thing done in a year.

:13:29
True enough. But weight's gonna be
the most important factor.

:13:36
If we could find some teeny-tiny
astronauts we'd be done in a month.

:13:41
They've given us seven years.
We might as well use 'em.

:13:43
Seven years.
:13:45
Well, let's get started.
:13:51
Okay, specs call for five legs.
I think four will be better.

:13:54
It'll be just as stable,
and we won't have to worry...

:13:56
about interference
with the thruster quads.

:14:06
Let's go with
an octagonal descent stage.

:14:09
A round one's gonna end up being
more trouble than it's worth.

:14:21
Bob, how much do these windows weigh?
:14:24
- I don't know. A couple ounces?
- Bob.

:14:26
- The real ones?
- Yeah.

:14:27
Five, six hundred pounds at least.
:14:30
- Really?
- Yeah.

:14:34
- Do we need 'em?
- Yeah, Tom.

:14:36
I think the astronauts
might wanna see where they're going.

:14:39
Do they need windows this big?
:14:45
No... Of course they do.
:14:47
Otherwise they wouldn't be able
to see from their seats.

:14:58
- What?
- What if they don't need seats?
