six, five, four, three...
1:09:06
two, one,
ignition, blastoff!
1:09:10
Go get 'im, boy! Go get 'im, Charlie!
1:09:15
Atta boy!
1:09:17
Hey, come on! Take a
turn, slim! Come on in!
1:09:20
Come on! Get on the pad, boy! Get in there!
1:09:23
Here you go. Have a
drink! Here we go. Come on.
1:09:27
Ten, nine, eight, seven...

1:09:34

1:09:41

1:09:57
Sorry to keep you waiting,
gentlemen. Dr. Bowen.
1:09:59
Cervantes.
Your permission, sir.
1:10:02
Let's get at it. Anything further from
intelligence? Not since that last report.
1:10:06
Can I have your attention,
please, gentlemen?
1:10:09
As you know, the projected
launch date for the Eclipse...
1:10:12
was to be in the middle ofJuly.
1:10:14
Major Gifford here
was going to man the capsule.
1:10:17
However, the Russians
have thrown us a curve.
1:10:21
Oh, thank you.
1:10:24
Here it is.
1:10:26
In exactly 48 hours,
1500 Greenwich time...
1:10:30
the Russians plan to launch
their fully-automated capsule.
1:10:34
That's bad enough, but on top
of beating us to the punch...
1:10:38
In order to fully demonstrate
the reliability of their automation...
1:10:42
their capsule will be
solely occupied by an individual who...
1:10:46
now get this...
is neither an aviator nor an astronaut.
1:10:50
This is ridiculous! They are in
fact, gentlemen, sending up a dentist!
1:10:56
They must be kidding! A man with no
experience in space technology whatsoever.
