I don't get it.
It's very simple.

1:11:03
They're going to show the world
that their automated capsule...

1:11:06
is so foolproof,
they can send anybody up in it.

1:11:08
- Scotty, what's the story on Eclipse?
- We've got a vehicle ready.

1:11:12
We can mount Eclipse on it
and be ready for launch in 36 hours.

1:11:15
- Bob, how 'bout weather?
- C.A.V.U. will hold, all down the range.

1:11:18
That would give us a
12-hour jump on the Russians.

1:11:21
Now our most pressing problem
is finding the man to take this ride:

1:11:27
The least qualified individual
you can possibly think of.

1:11:31
In other words, the last man on earth
that you would send into space.

1:11:38
Sir, I have a suggestion.
1:11:41
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
1:11:45
six, five, four, three...
1:11:49
two, one,
ignition, blastoff!

1:12:01
Wonderful, Roy!
1:12:03
You mean you fired him?
1:12:05
That's right. He was
always... Where'd he go?

1:12:07
I don't know. I saw him leaving
the center about two hours ago.

1:12:10
Come on, Charlie.
1:12:12
One more time! Ten, nine,
one, 'nition, 'lastoff!

1:12:17
Atta boy!
1:12:19
Go, go, go, go!
1:12:34
Well, let's try
down on "B" Street.

1:12:36
Oh, no. He's not the type
to hang out in bars.

1:12:39
The way he's feeling,
he's liable to hang out anywhere.

1:12:42
Do you live
with your folks?

1:12:45
Oh, come on!
1:12:48
Hey, nice goin', slim! Hey, you're welcome!
1:12:54
Hey, bartender,
another beer!

1:12:59
Would you like another
little drinkie? No, thank you.
