:36:00
All I'm saying is,
the moon did not have
:36:03
a rotational cycle
of 14 hours.
:36:06
I mean, we only have
7 hours ofdark
:36:08
when the sun's not up
to land on this thing.
:36:09
It was light
when he landed.
:36:11
This is gonna be dark.
:36:12
We're not gonna
be able to see.
:36:13
You can't see now, Gus.
:36:14
Tulchinsky: Don't worry,
don't worry, don't worry.
:36:16
:36:17
We what?
:36:18
We can do it.
:36:19
:36:21
No, no, no. Sit down.
:36:24
I woke up this morning,
and I realized...
:36:28
none of you
want me here.
:36:30
You don't even really know
who I am, which is OK.
:36:33
I walked on the moon,
:36:35
but I didn't belong to you.
I belonged to your daddies.
:36:36
Now, if I ask you
to ask your daddies
:36:39
what I meant to them,
:36:40
to explain to you
what I'm doing here,
:36:42
that's only gonna
make things worse.
:36:44
So...what do we do?
:36:55
You haven't trained
for this mission.
:36:57
We respect you.
:36:59
I appreciate that.
:37:01
But you're here...you're here
because the powers that be
:37:04
think we need a familiar
face on this trip.
:37:07
You're here
for public relations.
:37:08
No, no. I'm here because
the powers that be
:37:10
know that I'm the only
person on this mission
:37:12
who's ever landed
on the moon.
:37:14
And I have 500 landings
on aircraft carriers.
:37:16
We've trained on--
:37:17
On flight
simulators.
:37:18
Right?
:37:20
I mean, this is
not a video game, son.
:37:23
It really isn't.
:37:25
:37:26
It really isn't. No.
:37:33
