Should I correct manually? 8 00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:43,750 There 9 00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:55,030 you 10 00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:56,110 go. 11 00:00:59,690 --> 00:01:02,090 I'm getting break up on broadband 8F. 12 00:01:04,790 --> 00:01:05,790 Roller. 13 00:01:07,790 --> 00:01:08,830 The hell? 14 00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:14,410 There's some kind of pyrotechnics out there. 15 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:18,990 It's not coming from the craft. 16 00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:21,930 It's coming towards it. 17 00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:26,570 My God, there's something out there. 18 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,040 Let's get inside. 19 00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:17,520 The last communication we heard from Aspire at Devon on that mission. 20 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,340 Until we regained control, brought you back, and the drug suit opened. 21 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,220 It must be very painful to listen to that, even if it was 38 years ago. Well, 22 00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:34,600 what's painful, Colonel Wayne, is that after four decades, I'm still having 23 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,660 trouble convincing people that what happened to me really happened. 24 00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:41,900 Well, God knows you've had enough time to think about it. What caused you to 25 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,240 send your crap spinning out of control? 26 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,820 Looking back, what do you think it was? 27 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,340 I know what it wasn't. 28 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,280 It wasn't what NASA said it could possibly be. It was not oxygen 29 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,580 was not space dementia. 30 00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:56,940 I didn't black out. 31 00:02:57,140 --> 00:02:58,920 It was not an epileptic seizure. 32 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,480 I don't have to tell you. The data didn't corroborate your version. 33 00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:04,660 Clearly you have some theory. 34 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,700 Something was trying to reach out to me that day in 1963. Whether it was a 35 00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:10,980 friend or foe or another world, I do not know. 36 00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:15,320 And if I had not panicked, I might have found out. That's why it's important I 37 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,320 go back up again. 38 00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:20,900 It's the only way any one of us will ever, ever know. With all due respect, 39 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,820 Colonel Harris, while we've been charged with collecting one of the original 40 00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:27,620 space program astronauts for this shuttle flight, 41 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,660 There have been some reservations expressed about your suitability for 42 00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:36,500 mission. Well, I'm no spring chicken. I don't claim to be, but I'm in reasonably 43 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:41,100 good health. I think the congresswoman was referring to your mental 44 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:44,960 preparedness. The record does reflect that you spent a period of 45 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,340 institutionalization after your original flight. 46 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,340 Right. Well, enough people call you crazy. It becomes a self -fulfilling 47 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:52,340 prophecy. 48 00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:56,610 However, that was past history. I had submitted here psychological evaluations 49 00:03:56,610 --> 00:04:00,150 along with other briefs. And then there was, of course, the incident where you 50 00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:01,970 allegedly hacked into a Pentagon computer. 51 00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:05,310 I was only looking at my own files. 52 00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:09,030 In fairness to Colonel Harris, those charges were dismissed. 53 00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:10,550 Thank you. 54 00:04:10,730 --> 00:04:13,230 One more thing I am curious about. 55 00:04:13,850 --> 00:04:18,730 You indicated this morning that it is, in your words, now or never. 56 00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:21,730 Yes, ma 'am. The planetary alignments. 57 00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:25,870 During my flight, we're virtually the same as we'll be in the next scheduled 58 00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:26,870 shuttle launch. 59 00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:31,750 And they will not be the same for another 24 years, at which time I'll be 60 00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:34,590 and buried, or should be. Though it is now or never. 61 00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:44,490 Well, that should do it. Thank you, Colonel. The committee should be making 62 00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:45,610 decision shortly. 63 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:50,790 Please, I need to know we all. 64 00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:53,030 Need to know. 65 00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:57,570 Thank you, Colonel Harris. 66 00:05:06,470 --> 00:05:07,470 Mr. Powers? 67 00:05:09,130 --> 00:05:10,670 How'd it go? They turn him down? 68 00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:14,750 Let's just say I think you should make room in your own space flight for one 69 00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:15,750 more passenger. 70 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:17,150 That's fine. 71 00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:30,850 There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the 72 00:05:30,850 --> 00:05:34,170 picture. We are now controlling the transmission. 73 00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:41,070 We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a 74 00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:47,690 channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. 75 00:05:48,250 --> 00:05:53,610 We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. 76 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,860 For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear. 77 00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:14,260 You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the 78 00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:18,540 deepest inner mind to the outer limits. 79 00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,860 Please stand by. 80 00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:25,800 The burden of solitude is a mighty one. 81 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Be it a lone voice echoing in the dark, or the cry of humanity in a desolate 82 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,300 universe. I did everything I could. They said your application would be 83 00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:38,420 considered for future flight. 84 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,180 Well, talk to them again, will you, Wayne? 85 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,920 Damn it all, you can make them change their mind, can't you? I'm sorry, Dad. 86 00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:47,020 Yes! 87 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Who is it? Colonel Harris? 88 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,740 No more interviews. 89 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,580 I'm not a reporter. 90 00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:00,500 I represent Carlton Powers, Powers Industries. 91 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,719 Yeah. 92 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,060 So?

Get the chance to suit up again. 171 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,500 Why'd you decide to tell me now? 172 00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:27,640 I think it's important that you know that somebody else understands 173 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,380 this overpowering urge you have to go back out there. 174 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,900 There's somebody else who needs to know some answers. 175 00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:37,780 I got you. 176 00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:39,380 Got your hand. 177 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,480 Get out of here! 178 00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,630 You're trying to show NASA off by heading into space before the shuttle 179 00:13:54,630 --> 00:13:55,930 that Colonel Harris would hope to be on? 180 00:13:56,170 --> 00:13:59,750 NASA's got the resources of the entire United States government behind it. I'm 181 00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:02,670 just a lowly entrepreneur trying to advance the cause of science. 182 00:14:02,930 --> 00:14:05,970 Some of his former colleagues are claiming that he's delusional, even 183 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:06,990 Does this concern you? 184 00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:12,310 If I had a dollar for every insult hurled at me, I'd be a richer man than I 185 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:16,350 today.
