1:16:02
Go to 80.
1:16:12
What about the bits of green?
1:16:14
Paint.
For God's sake!

1:16:16
Pistachio ice cream!
1:16:17
There's no basis to
assume it's anything yet.

1:16:19
You're too good a scientist not to
be thinking the same thing I am.

1:16:22
If this is
really something new,

1:16:25
some brand-new form of life...
1:16:27
The best hope of cracking it
is to be grindingly thorough

1:16:29
with the help of computer number one.
1:16:32
Okay? Now let's get on with it.
1:16:44
Hold it.
1:16:48
More pistachio?
1:16:51
I count four patches.
1:16:53
Keep going.
1:16:54
I'll computerize the coordinates.
1:16:57
Let's take a look
at the rock at 100.

1:17:06
I doubt that's what
knocked the capsule off trajectory.

1:17:08
Unless the rock was going
at tremendous speed,

1:17:11
or unless it's terribly heavy.
1:17:12
For Pete's sake, Ruth,
it can't be that heavy.

1:17:15
Hall and I could lift the capsule.
1:17:16
However, it's possible the
rock is different in space:

1:17:19
Out there it might do anything.
1:17:20
Maybe it has elastic properties
we don't even know yet.

1:17:23
Let's have a look
at the green patches.

1:17:26
They must've come off the rock,
1:17:29
if it is rock.
1:17:34
You know something?
1:17:36
They do look like spatters of paint.
1:17:40
Let's go back to the rock
and see it at 440.

1:17:51
If that's a meteor,
1:17:53
it's a damn peculiar one.
