:04:00
-I got 500,000.
-That's great.
:04:04
How many did you get?
:04:05
A TU, 13. 6 degrees.
:04:07
832.
:04:10
All from your mother?
:04:22
You know, it's strange. It's gone.
:04:25
Yesterday I could see it. Today I
looked and I couldn't find it.
:04:29
So what? You think the Earth just
vanished? It's gone forever?
:04:32
-It's weird not being able to see it.
-Yeah, so it's weird.
:04:35
You'll get over it, or you won't.
:04:40
Just something I wasn't expecting,
that's all.
:04:47
Up for a couple of turns
around the campus?
:04:56
My grandfather taught me
to sail when I was a kid.
:04:59
Taught me to read the stars.
:05:01
"Just in case all the GPS satellites
fell out of the sky," he said.
:05:06
He said, "Any man who puts his life. . .
:05:09
. . .in the hands of a bunch
of batteries is an idiot. "
:05:12
A real Yankee.
:05:14
No, he just wouldn't approve something
he couldn't build with his hands.
:05:17
-He wouldn't have approved of this.
-Going to Mars?
:05:20
He'd say we were headed for trouble.
:05:23
Say we didn't try.
:05:26
We just finished poisoning the Earth. . .
:05:28
. . .and everyone was dead in 1 00 years.
:05:31
Then what was the point of any of it?
:05:34
Art, beauty, all gone.
:05:36
The Greeks. The constitution.
:05:39
We've been dying for freedom, ideas.
:05:43
None of it meant anything?
:05:45
And what about religion?
Do we give up on God too?
:05:49
You didn't just give up being
a scientist one day, did you?
:05:55
I realized science. . .
:05:57
. . .couldn't answer any of the really
interesting questions.
