this

is the

best things in life they're free

Astronauts Virgil Grissom

Edward White and Roger Chapee have been killed

this giant Saturn rocket

and all the rest of the equipment here

began as part of a race to beat the Russian

the national goal

of putting a man on the moon in this decade

but

their trip will cost more than anyone thought it would

and their chances of landing on the moon in the 1960s

are increasingly slim

call security I won't

yes you will

the last thing that we need around here is a black cat

okay they don't deal with things like this

yes they do

they do now they're overreacting

no you're not overreacting enough

call right now right now

how do I look

you're glowing good luck

good afternoon boys

wrong room sweetheart

we don't need dictation I'm Kelly Jones

I'll be running the meeting today

you must be Phil Hunley Neil Brown and Zach Tanner

you don't mind if I sit down

do you I

all due respect Mrs

Jones were progressive company

we employ 16 women in our steno pool

we're selling sports cars to men

we're selling a 303 55

4 28 cubic engineer beast is what you're selling

you want to focus on the car's speed

something like this

look familiar Chevy Camaro

Pontiac Fireburn and Oldsmobile

all from last month thankfully you

have something that your competition doesn't have

the Mustang fast back 3:00

55 horses for him seat belts for the family

the seat belts well

they put them in

because they might be mandatory next year

let's play a game now I'm gonna guess what kind of car

each one of you gentlemen drive

Zach Ford Mustang 66 convertible

it's Poppy red

oh no Mustangs for you husbands though

a Lincoln Continental for Neil

a station wagon for poor Phil

oh Phil

you know what the best part of my day is

when my husband Charlie comes home at night

I can't even imagine what it would be like if one night

he didn't no

imagine the conversation

if someone told your wife that this car

it's 3:55 horses in 1:05 top speed

this car is what brings her husband home

safe to her family every night

now she wants you to have it

she says the words every married man dreams of hearing

I feel so much better

if you bought yourself that Mustang

sweetheart

did you guess what kind of cars the drive

what bribe their secretaries or something

Kelly

two packs of Virginia foods in a bottle of Pocker Lava

dry clean only yes

I have that noted also

Omega confirmed for next week

I finished the Baskin Robbins artwork

and that guy from palmex

asked for your address to send roses

but get mine because I know how you feel about roses

right also

John called again

he wants to take you to dinner Tuesday

tell him I moved away and call Bruce from Dell Chemical

I heard they're looking for a new agency for ziplock

people should be boycotting down

they make Naple people say they're boycotting

but they're still buying sandwich bags

they also sell Saran Wrap and Styrofoam

you think people are gonna stop using Styrofoam

put your coffee in right now

now I know you and your friends wanna save the world

and by the time you're running this place in 1984

there's gonna be no nukes and equal rights for all

but until then they got a job to do

Kelly

Kelly

Kelly Kelly

we got a big problem I just stormed offset

and yes it was justified

I cannot work with these Hoover people

apparently

they have issues with the way that I am shooting

their commercial dances said that there

it's my commercial they make back here

I make art sorry

did we have a meeting no

no I'm sorry

I didn't realize I had to set a time

to speak to one of my dearest friends

last time we spoke

you fired me and I don't even work for you

you know what Kelly

I didn't come in here to be berated

I came in to be agreed with

you have that Nestle pitch in 10

very important that is a lie

goodbye lines

getting you this directing gig was a Christmas miracle

it took me three weeks

to convince them they were stable after your Jello

shoot from hell with another Jello was not my fault

uh that actor was five

you made him cry well

I did that child a favor of Hollywood is no capable

what about the Heinz commercial

you went 40,000 over budget

it was about ketchup it was not about ketchup

it was about the promise of ketchup

no one sees what I'm doing for their products

I am elevating them I should be in film by now

I passed on directing value of the dolls

that is on me but still

what do we call you right

the cool work of commercial

Stanley is a hack he does one good movie

suddenly he's a genius you are a legend right

creative genius you're also hot headed

mercurial and you can't stick to a budget for shit

no that wasn't a compliment

if you quit Hoover you will be unhirable

hahaha

woo

yeah

woo

Lance why don't you march your ass back to set

you apologize for whatever fit you okay

buy your boyfriend something nice for Christmas

coming up with you all year long

you can send it for me too okay

Merry Christmas Lance Merry Christmas

can you get me a decent job please

watch successfully this morning

a much needed win for NASA in Vietnam

more men were lost today

I have another round please

and look at the dinner menu

two specials tonight

chicken Popeye and oyster Rockefeller

we'll do the chicken she's allergic to oysters

I'll take a shot of McAllen lemon and cutting board

yes sir

I'm sorry do I know you seat belts in a sports car

oh yeah

that's a great angle

unfortunately they're about to kill the account

why would they do that because someone told them that

you don't really have a bun in the oven

so let me explain that's the last time I trust a woman

I actually sent you a baby gift

which was so sweet by the way

let me just Neil

let me explain a few what is this

we work for Ogrevi how you can't have some of these

you got me fired just the opposite

I want to crave you

name's Moe Burkes I work for the president's office

of what company

the president

we need a marketing specialist

and word has it you are the very best

so I did a little digging and

quite a colorful past Kelly

or should I call you Jane Stewart from Chicago

perhaps you would prefer Amy the nurse from Ohio

face like that is going to check references

and you're looking for isn't in there

I don't know what you're talking about

oh sure

you know and I get it

hey I have dozens of IDS and my real name's not Mo

with all the names you could have picked

you landed on Mo you have singular talent

why waste it selling cars when you could think bigger

oh Mo

that's bigger than Ford

you're meant for

I want you to sell the moon

yeah the moon

the abolishing the whole thing

and this Mo guy works for NASA

yeah I mean no

I'm kind of he he

he works with the government

yeah which part

Kelly

is this guy

are we working for Richard Nixon

because Kelly

I will not work for Richard Nixon

I'm a card carrying feminist

I actually have a card

can't even believe he's going to be president

I have no idea what this much of the country

we are working for NASA to sell the moon

nobody disagrees about the moon

no you and I both know that everywhere around us

every day something terrible is happening

everywhere except in space

I hate that this is working on me

and they definitely need our help

did you know of NASA's first 29 missions

only 48% have been successful

that can't be that's crazy

did you know

the ratio of men to women in Cocoa Beach is 5 to one

wow

as long as you got a supply place

that's not on front row

the the guidebook said it's quaint

do you like good music

you're fired

who are all these people it is a Wednesday

it's like they're on a different planet

they call it Florida

please tell me you booked a room away from the pool

oh yeah

oh oh yeah

two isolated thunder showers during the afternoon

and early evening low tonight

65 to 75 currently 77 in the Moon Point city

that's KO 2020 news Fortune Weather

hey John

here we go play with me coffee

like whatever

takes the least amount of time to put in the bag

my friend

miss you're on fire

original no

I do not want to stop drop and roll with you

you put this on fire

oh my God I'm sorry

this is a real thing I'm just alcohol in flames

they like each other yeah

I ruined your jacket no

no this thing seemed worse

let me buy you drench for your travel necessary

no I insist I don't drink

it's okay oh really

an astronaut who doesn't drink

that's very intriguing

what makes you think of an astronaut

because you have an apology

and only astronauts get this

so you don't think too about us

yeah well I'm a recent fan

Kelly Jones

no astronaut I just work at Kennedy Colgate

what do you do there

uh

look the last thing I wanna do is make some more

talk about my job

sorry that didn't sound it

I didn't it didn't for it to no

you were being honest we're up go um

first life will be alright

I wasn't being honest if I was being honest

I told you

the most beautiful woman that I've seen in longer

I can remember and I have a very good memory

all I really wanna do is buy you a drink

talk to you for hours

but I can't

so I'm trying really hard to just get that you're here

it's nice to meet you Kelly

I really am sorry

here's my frozen

you strange

welcome to Rockets Road also known as Alligator Alley

you wanna keep your arms and legs inside the cart

if you wanna keep your arms and legs

no that's just a little joke

they mostly attack in the water

now today's tour will take approximately two and a/2

to 3 hours so let's get comfy cozy now

on the right is our testing facility

state of the art senfire it is often on fire

up ahead we have the Vehicle Assembly building

that's where they assemble the rockets

that is the tallest

in the world you can fit four statue of liberties

inside that building

my life magazine really doesn't do justice

this is so great I'd love to go inside

it's it's highly restricted

I'm sorry let's get closer

oh no

no no

there's no entry here

you need a special access badge to enter

oh like

that's that's my badge

Kelly Jones from NASA Public Affairs

is our all access pass for both of us thank you

unless I can sell

hello boys boys

hi Kelly Jones

I'm from the new NASA public affairs team

can I ask you two few questions

name age and what's your job here

uh I'm Stu Bryce

one of the head engineers

and I'm 24 we'll see 35

yeah and you

I'm Don Harbor I work for him

and I'm 23

you guys are babies the average agent NASA's 26

but we do have some

some old people that work here as well

yeah like 32 33

so tell us do

what brings you to join this great American mission

well I saw a flyer my college door

what are you doing here

I tracked you down to give you my phone number

cause I felt we had a connection

I'm joking I work here now

mob work is brought me on to revamp NASA public affairs

you're the killer from Manhattan

and you must be the launch director

this is my associate yeah

I don't care look

this building is completely off limits

everything in here can burn you

freeze you fry you

poison you and crush you so let's go out

and how long have you worked here

a substantial amount of time

are you writing your quote

that's not a quote it's just a thing that I said

I'll punch it up

do you have time today for an interview

also I need to sit down with your senior officers

the photogenic text I can help the selection process

but my guys are too weird for interviews

and they're actually really busy

doing life and death work

you know I don't need your permission

Americans are over their long

and expensive honeymoon in space

and I'm here to remind them

why they fell in love in first place

is that right

all Americans should be very grateful

these men are putting their lives on the line

for the mission

you don't know much about American people

do you

you don't know very much about your office

I'm about to show you do you

this is a storage closet nope

storage closet has a window

okay so instant coffee in the break room

just run the tap for a minute to flush out the rust

do you know you know how to work a fire extinguisher

no okay

pass methods pretty simple

just pull the pen aim

squeeze sweep

if you need anything else

you just go back to New York and get it have a good day

list is easy on the eyes it's hard on here

so not a good welcome wagon

so you said they wanted her

oh no

I said they needed her help

and I do believe that now more than ever

well how are we supposed to do that

if we can't talk to anyone or look at anything

oh it's a cat

it's a cat it's a cat

you know what they say about black cats

if they cross your path

they're probably going someplace else

okay time to dig out the old Rolodex

let's get creative

Apollo 11 will land our men on the moon

that makes us first if we do our jobs

we will launch right from there

July 16 bright and early

between now and then

we will piece together the biggest jigsaw puzzle

in the history of mankind

six million parts spread out around the country

and we will assemble test

and retest every single one

until we are certain

that Apollo 11 will take off without a hitch

and head to the moon in Henry Sing

7 months

7 months please help me congratulate the astronauts

Apollo 11 Armstrong

Audrey and college

hey hey

how do you like the White House boys

alright except Neil wouldn't let me steal the China

all right because in 8 months

this is all over they need new history books to cover

what we've accomplished here

each and every single one of you will be able to say

that I did the hardest thing that has ever been done

yeah yeah

let's get to it

sir

you said to tell you when the new lady did

anything you would like

I'm here at the Kennedy Space Center

with Deputy Launch Director

yeah I don't care who is that

thank you see you on the moon to the world

but you told me that you guys don't do interviews

so I had to hire you guys

you have two of the best engineers on the planet

installing a window Phil

if you hammer one more time

I swear to God I'm gonna lose my mind

put down the hammer

take your stupid belts off and get back to testing

on the move here we go

can you believe that view we got

the first photo is from Paulo

the first shot at the earth from the moon

isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

how did you get this before me

they're calling it Earth Rise

it's gonna be the top of every news segment tonight

I mean 16 has been such a terrible year

assassinations as heinous war

we've seen the worst of humanity

now NASA gives us this a whole new way to see the world

and I'm gonna make sure everybody sees it

you can't just fake people

hey I'm here for guessing oh

Lucy you you're a juicy park

so here's the scenes in the character bio

this is gonna be the fastest firing in NASA history

hey Moe Cole I hear you looking for me

I am Kelly Jones hired actors to play NASA engineers

it is unacceptable

I want her desk cleared today calm calm calm down okay

watching and watches TV

Apollo is now on TV every channel every day

so you wanna get to the moon

I suggest focus on your job like Kelly do hers

she's made you the bell of the ball

don't you just slip on your tube tube do some dancing

she fired

are we fired

every single network is airing the earth rights child

it's gonna be up

you know I try a little something out of

I just don't think it's working

it's not enough we hook

a way to weave the moon landing

into people's everyday lives

without them realizing it

anything close to a salad pickles on a burger

it's gonna be a minute though

Apollo Moves has business picking up

all the tourists love to come in and see

pieces of history pieces of history like like that pen

John Glenn ate here every 1961

he would work on his flight manuals

and he'd use one of our pens

that one ended up on Mercury 6

you're the only restaurant in the world

whose name's been in space haha

that's cool

you know thank

you

does it bother you that a real dies

every time you walk into this

supposed to stay on your side

I've missed you

I'd like you to approve our new ad campaign

what is sense that mean I can do this time

I apologize for blindside me with the interviews

I have a fix for our money problem

well

your apology is rejected and so is whatever this is

Omega look

this isn't Madison Avenue

we don't pay for this stuff

no it's cost free

the brains get a tie in money can't buy

and

NASA works its way into the mines of everyday people

watch out that's that's your big idea

ready

toothpaste

Tang the energy breakfast drink

chosen for Apollo astronauts on their trip to the moon

moon coupons

my personal favorite

fruit of the loom right

the guys gotta wear something out of those big suits

don't say NASA like fruit of the loom

look I am not turning this ship into a flying billboard

no matter how much you want it to happen

and by the way

we don't have time to test all this before lift

we don't have to send any of this up into space

as long as we say it went

so you're gonna lie it's called selling

we're not lying to the customer

we're changing the way they think

no it's called lying

everyone is just a customer to you huh

look I know that you're a fancy ad shark and everything

but NASA is not something that you sell them

jingle and a slogan you do not know who we are

who's Margaret Hamilton who

she works here for you there are 400,000

people that are affiliated with the space program

just one of your engineers

who's Joanne Morgan she works in the firing room

did you ever ask her

why she took this job in the first place

I have

she says it's because she has rocket fuel in her blood

and NASA is not just a logo

it's people people who wake up every morning

and commit to accomplishing the impossible

and all

while wearing the same underwear as the rest of us

hello can I help you with anything at all

thank you

so I ran the projections

and this is what you stand to make

if you accept key sponsorships

we can't take private money

it doesn't matter okay

I'm about to make NASA so popular

that Commerce will finally turn the taps back on

around here

and all I have to do is just let Armstrong put on Omega

watch no

if we get the money flowing

then you've gotta

prove to me

that Cocoa Beach is a decent place to get dinner

um

deal yes deal yes

no wait

I'm drawing the line toilet paper though

because the world does not get to know what

our guys wipe their ass with

shit

would you like to go to vacation

when you come back to work

for the situation being what it is now

place I would most like to go

who's the table next time Walter

he looks like he's giving G's quarterly profit report

that's always brings them into people's living room

they should look like they belong there we've succeeded

you're so in charge Walter

don't you worry I'm done helping though

these men are gonna be bigger than the Beetles

99.9% of the way there and that suits me just

what's the name of that VP Kelloggs

I believe it's Harrison Driscoll

all right Harrison

so in some snap crackle

pop meal

buzz and Mike

right

did you see that you didn't see the guy

go closer on the chain model

make the font bigger and put baking with the eggs

let's not forget we're selling American

Peter Pan peanut butter peanut butter

that's out of this world soon

also what

see the world the way they do Larry

this is Omega's big chance

on the back of every speedbaster for the end of time

the first watch one on the movie

right

hey hey

we must pop we're setting up a shop for Kelly

the free astronauts will be a power of admission

there they are

in front of three beautiful American cars

oh this is great

gonna be in the facility right now

Doctor Kelly

Kelly said we can take a four bed home for a dollar

for a dollar I'm gonna need them for 15 minutes

that's fine I needed them 15 minutes ago Kelly

you know how expensive those shoes are

don't worry Austin

it's just the launch director destroying Looking Bird

the limb of the Kelly out of work

well this is a spacecraft

that used to take men down to the lunar surface

slightly miss target and drifting into the vast abyss

and we're dead again yeah

if you have 30 seconds before touchdown yeah

but the landing though you're both bad liars

you know Mike Buzz

if I can get one more photo for Miss Jones and Omega

who are you man

alright watch this up boys and smile for a mega

yes am I interrupting always

there should be a box in front of you

why don't you open it

Omega thanks you for your service

your boys are all over TV

the taps are flown again so

dinner

yeah can I have a beer

5:00 what do you watch

three PM is their best and final time slot

day at the interview for exclusive with Armstrong

three PM is for children and deadbeats

and he said they have breaking news from the war

unknown size enemy force enemy casualties are unknown

but you've seen how it really was

so much for keeping all of back in the recycle

fear all rolled into one words don't describe it

Richard throw killed CBS News and a Cambodian

Scotty

okay thanks for no expense on the way

just try it shrimp me a bun

and that happens to be the best meal of restaurants

I don't know about this place

not everybody likes to advertise

it's where the rock will launch out of right there

that watch great on you you wear it very well

thanks

that night at the bar when I said to you

that you couldn't take your eyes off me

and I was the most beautiful woman that you'd ever

yeah that part that yes

it was impulsive it was meant for a stranger

and we're working together now

so just I want you to think that I was interested

I just wanted to clear the air oh

and the air was clear

good

yeah it was perfect

30 seconds why are the networks covering night and day

you think I have time to watch TV

Vietnam they're broadcasting straight from the action

and people don't want to just hear the news anymore

they want to see it in the making okay

why not let him

haha

oh you you wanna put a live television

camera on the limb yes

my guys are just trying to survive up there

they don't have time

to try to figure out how to film a movie

we'll figure it out form

all they have to do is point and shoot

you don't get it it's a logistical nightmare

there's power issues storage

wait there's not even a camera that would work up there

cause it's negative 200 degrees at night

and over 250 degrees during the daytime

the emergency

no I just said it's impossible

yes that's the point

it would be the greatest televised event ever

do you think this is a game show

there is a very good reason why

the Soviets aren't broadcasting their spacewalks

because they were tightly dictatorship

that's not us when we succeed

we do it as a nation and when we fail

we grieve as a nation right

that's what it means to be American

now stop telling me what it means to be an American

there's only one of us here that served their country

their entire life

sorry we're not putting the camera on them

I mean it we're not

we are

there's no way you can do without Michelle

I'm running again yeah

okay I'm on a tight schedule

what is it Kelly

brief me on the camera idea

and we like it we like it a lot

she missed book we can't do it

there is no such technology that even exists

actually does department of defense design

this find down fire pilots in Vietnam at night

that's classified but Dear d is going to let you use it

as long as nobody knows what it is

there's absolutely no space for equipment that heavy

we are weighing screws for God's sake

well I mean

what is this 15 pounds okay

so just like lighter screws

we're trying for another fuel cell

so our men when they get to the moon

they still have enough fuel to lift off

all of her bad ideas this one is the worst actually

the president loves it so now it's a great idea

so let me put it to you simply Cole

find a way to put this on that

this is an order from the Tippy Top

Don Stew come in here please

thank you something like everything so hard

please help Miss Jones

strip this top secret camera down

I don't want him to know it's top secret

well now they do

please strip this top secret camera

mount it onto the limb for live broadcasting

call one last thing last week

a CIA spy plane

took some surveillance photographs of the new Russian

in one rocket and Congress saw it

and some of the members are having cold feet

about the final round of funding

for months away from winning this

I'm gonna send them down here

and you're gonna convince them to sit tight

I think I'm gonna write up some talking points oh

don't take it personally

pilots fight gravity it's part of their nature

Henry

oh

well I'm glad you're not cold oh

you know you don't like me smoking

when you worry he's gonna ground you

uh no

I uh

I had emergency bypass surgery last year

that son of a bitch is helping to keep me alive

I'm sorry I didn't know

yeah nobody hit us just call

yeah he came to the hospital

and held my wife's hand for three days

yeah it's a long way from the day we met

kid just got back from Korea

the top pilot in the Air Force Silver Star Flying Cross

he was first in line and then was

when they were looking for astronauts

but uh

he ended up not making a cut

spoke on him

it was his temper

now I know it's hard

I found an aphib little thing

but not to keep that in program

Col Davis is the best pilot who will never get to space

you know I've been looking at this view

everyday for the last 15 years

but lately it's like I'm seeing it for the first time

Apollo won't kiss the big shadow on this place

it's nice to have some light back

hey I keep seeing Cole drive out there every night

what's he doing

gone

you ready

yeah

we just we give the senator at all

we play nice for 30 minutes we keep the lights off

Henry come on come on

I see what you mean that's a

that's an asshole guy you said to look at me

it's just taunting me now

what is that

because somebody's feeding that thing

find them find them immediately

fire them immediately sir Senator

hello Miss David

Honor pleasure sir

oh very nice to see you

well the Apollo 11 capsule has arrived

and next week

we will be attaching it to the Saturn 5 rocket

and that gets us off the ground

and out of Earth's atmosphere

well that's all very impressive

but I have to be upfront

Georgia had some devastating floods this year

and I'm voting to put this money toward our relief fund

that seems a little selfish

don't you think excuse me

figure speech is what it means

my voters mostly think we are overspending on the moon

because when I excuse me

Senator Hoff oh

you probably don't remember me

but you spoke at my sophomore year

college Georgia 55

yes of course

I remember your words inspired me that day

you said commitment means staying loyal to a cause

two years later I graduated with honors

now I run this department

you know in 62

you said that you would fight for Kennedy's dream

no matter what

I know that the moon mission was more popular back then

but it would be just a shame

if the man whose words inspired me to work at NASA

didn't live by those very same words

you are just such a wonderful man

thank you so much you are a wonderful man

she just a wonderful Georgia peach

here you are so sweet yes

I am let me take you on the special VIP tour

they didn't tell you about

oh I love that wonderful you go on this tour

she cheered up I mean it's scary

where's the phone

bye bye

the space program is not only a loaded man

but Apollo flies in the face of our creator

and the true father of this country

we landed hot we need two more votes

looks like it's not gonna be bad

definitely not bad next

we have Senator Cook that's a little scary

he's a Cold War conservative

he's worried that our budget takes away from weapons

development DOD

senator with the N1 rocket

the Russian so could land on the moon before us

what we're about to show you is our most recent Intel

and what they plan to build if they do

these are photos no sir

those are renderings of the possible future

future photos

is that laser it's going towards Earth sir

what are they called Killer Lunar Laser Eliminator sir

Killer Lunar Laser Eliminator yes

hahaha

yeah

damn it that's good

and finally Senator Hedges

now he's always been a fan of Apollo

but he's getting pressure from a state party

not to fund

can't take an oxygen without a camera pointed at him

and we're about to have a few of those around here

best friends

hello everyone

it's great to be back everyone

you know how much I love the Apollo program

Senator Apollo 10 will just be orbiting the moon

but it's gonna get us information

critical for the touchdown of 11

like landing conditions and location

leave a special seat for you here senator

amongst your fans

thank you

5 4

we have left off 49 minutes past the hour

glorious can't wait to be right back here for Apollo 11

we cannot thank you enough for your support

and it's gonna cost you more than a pair of binoculars

I owe favorite the news fellas back home

I'd like you to give them an on camera interview

ah senator

I'm the very last person that you want

in front of camera I

I don't do interviews except for you

Senator Hedges we would be delighted

smart lady

good night good night

okay

it's okay got it all under control

what would I need

for just a few moments

what I did

just to have you here

tell me you will try

hey

I don't terminate off to you know

it's to sleep

you actually have house

I thought you slept at the office

well yeah

usually but

well I mean

sometimes I sleep with Jenny

oh yeah right

yeah she is

you want me

yeah yes you love me

Jenny

Jenny uh

this is Kelly Kelly I mean

Jenny

she's just like going to flu the war

keep her ears

so I can get my flight hours on the weekends saves time

it's quite late

yeah she is

wanna go out

no you sure yeah

okay come on

show you the second best

you see one of those car parts

they call them the seas

gravity stronger in the sea

so when you look to landing

pretty much every single one of them

you got the sea of Serenity

Sea of crisis

we cross that one off the list pretty quick

yeah that's bad PR

then we finally settled on the sea of tranquility

that's a sweet spot

you come and think about it

I

I know a lot more about the moon than I know about you

but I have a long shot

I don't even know where you're from

Kansas

Kelly from Kansas

how'd you get to advertising

Kelly from Kansas

um well

I was born my dad left and my mom lost the house

we lived in a car

and church gave her a job selling cookie tins

so she had this idea that we'd somewhere

if it was me going door to door

smart lady

cookie tins and vacuums and beauty goods

when I got older

traveling country

me and my mom is having go back on her feet

oh I'm sorry I went through that

um a B I

Learned early on how to survive

as we all have our

share of tough breaks

Henry told me about the afib

and you getting kicked out of the program

hmm

I'm gonna have to have a little conversation with Mary

you know I don't totally agree with you though

how's that well

I just don't

I don't think that our sad stories are supposed to

teach us how to survive the world

I think they're supposed to make us wanna change it

Nicole

I just tryna

how are you Camaro

you never gonna stop him

yeah

oh Jesus

we need to talk

you have done outstanding workout

public interest is way up

you landed the senators and secured the launch

and that's why you broke into my motel room

as a thank you

now that we know the whole world will be watching

we can't afford to lose

we need to be prepared to present an

alternate version of the moon landing

an alternate version the

Artemis version

she was the twin sister of Apollo and you know

the backup

so we just need to be ready to shoot a little picture

something showing us you know

up there walking around waving at the camera

you mean to fake it all goes well

we never use it

but if not

you know why I never went to prison

probably but you remember me

cause I quit while I'm ahead

can't keep secret this big

thousands of people work here

well thousands of people work at classified location

in the desert that experiments

on a fleet of extraterrestrial pods

that we found at the bottom of the ocean

and you never heard about that

did you come on that's not true

maybe it is

maybe it isn't

one thing you can be sure of

is that the world will watch

Americans play an American flag on the moon

and

you are telling me that President Nixon supports this

probably would he doesn't know about it

in the same way that Cole Davis

will never know about it there shouldn't be a problem

considering what else you haven't shared with him

while you've grown closer

hey what would a plain kind guy like that think about

he made your point

no one can outrun their past

but I can make it go away forever

no more running

I'm gonna need my assistant

of course and we'll get you a team of secure agents

now who's the best director you got

that no one's ever heard of

this is the most remote hanger on the base

no one can go in or out without my

permission

Unbelievable Kelly

you have been forced onto a plane

brought to god forsaken Florida

do you mind I am a member of the d G a

I will not be treated this way

I'm calling my agent you can't watch me

remember we talked about this

this is a high security government job

I'm doubling your foot okay

with a bonus it's the only caveat being that no one

can ever know what we're doing

I cannot accept that they will shoot you

what is my budget your budget is

whatever it costs to turn this into the moon

for two and a/2 hours

it's shorter than been heard

who is talking to

baby do what you wanna do

oh I can tell you

I will need a fridge full of tab over there

and an army of minions but don't ask questions

kind of you but you won't

Kelly these aren't real actors

this is the best you're gonna count Neil's 5 11 anybody

5 11

okay the rest of you are dismissed

take your pick

hold on you you're gonna be my personal assistant

I'll just call you Joseph

so you can't take things personally

go stand somewhere alright

can we take these sunglasses off please

so I can see your eyes and believe your truth

now I want each of you to do a monologue

preferably something classical and my god

don't make me watch 7 Hamlets

you're not gonna see their faces

they're wearing helmets

alright

how do I convey the gripping fear of being on the moon

for the first time if we can't show a human face

acting as a sport Kelly

it is energy where do I start up

hey Bernie

how did you get in here just walks through the door

what part of talking about this is gonna get us killed

do you not understand and he's the slowest DP anymore

I pick the cinematographer

it's in my contract well

you don't have a contract

he's the best and all DPS are slow

what we need to have a serious conversation about Kelly

his production design

what materials

are we using to recreate the lunar surface

just a big rock right

I can't work like this Kelly

you know this about me

I need details we need details specifics

is it dusty rocky windy

what is the light source it's the sun

big light do not smart mouth me Edvard

and what is the son's position

in relation to the landing area

are we building a replica

do we have a plan do we have suits

and how do people move in those suits

and what Kelly

does space even look like

you know I gotta

I gotta lie down where is my trailer

we need to find a way to copy everything

in that simulation room okay ASAP

wait a second do I even have a trailer

your silence tells me what I already know

you haven't thought about how to recreate the moon

why would you think about a trailer

we should have gotten good work

buddy buddy

oh this is sensitive material

all right can't be here

those photos are for the archival book

that Penguin is doing what

can we get the memo no you're writing the floor

absolutely me

yes of course

I've never written a phone

I don't want to hear from you

we all do do you want me to write it

don't be so alright

let's get a photo of you we're going to the moon

we're going to the moon there you go

I'll turn Armstrong

will practice every single moment that they make

um right here for months

that is incredible yeah

so this is like the surface of the moon

yeah this is our best approximation

this just looks like a dirty beach

I don't believe it no

it's based off sediment Joseph wait

I do not believe

this is what NASA uses to go to the moon

you cannot tell me no

want you to walk

as if you're carrying your mother across the desert

she's frail but also heavy

hey

I'm sorry we have to recast

we're not reccasting

mediocre it is edbard

where is my son

ah nice

I can't found at least try it again

come on

come on bring me my tab

you're gonna have to find me

because I can't see a thing

come on how long does it take to give someone a tab

my hands right here this will be great

you guys should all come around

and we'll do a shot for the book hey

how about this everybody

we're going alone my eyes might have been closed

Wanna do one more

I haven't seen you around lately

say the same thing about you

how do you do it on the first try

it's not rocket signs okay you good

but the question is yes

I went over them nothing but Apollo 1

they promised me okay

you're gonna be great okay

go on okay

Mr Davis

you are what we call a tough get nothing

is there any legal importance to what we'll be watching

when Neil Armstrong

and Buzz Aldrin walk on a lunar surface

will the area they land on

be considered property of the United States

we're sending a plaque that says

we came in peace for all mankind

and that is precisely what we mean

what else would I leave behind footprints

American flag and 12 bags of feces

that I was told many times that I should not bring up

put them in front of camera center

you wear an Apollo pin

I do um

the wives of Apollo One's men

after we lost them they gave me this

you were launch director on that tragic day

what went wrong with Apollo 1

in your own words what happened

take me back

okay

here's some facts for you

The New York Times reported

there were 20,000 safety reports filed about that ship

so many that Gus Grissom on the lemon outside

did you read those reports

she does but you need those reports

of course I read the reports

I read every single one of them

over pressured oxygen

and a bad wire on a plugs out test

I was supposed to catch everything and I missed it

and I failed them and I will live with that

every single day for the rest of my life

is that the quote that you were looking for

you piece of shit

get me on the phone with your boss now

now

oh uh wait

what are you doing we have another 20 minutes

go to hell don't be angry with me

I'm not the reason three astronauts are dead

say one more thing about this

let me tell you say one more thing

let me say one more thing about this

you don't know those men you don't talk about those men

get off get off

get off

do you understand me

so I spoke to the producers

and they've agreed to seal the film

if we give them the exclusive with Armstrong

after he lands

we lost Hedges though he's voting no

said they wouldn't ask about it yeah

they lied and people do that sometimes Cole

you could have done yourself in this program favor

and maybe try it yourself

I blame NASA

blame the system

I mean

there's half a billion dollars worth of funding online

I must be so easy for you when you do it all the time

it's just always an option

but you should try as the truth is bullshit

never going to lie about those men or that day

do you understand that

you think what you want about me

but I didn't cost the world a dream

because I lost my goddamn cool

this is Launch Complex 34

where the Apollo 1 tragedy occurred

this is a tribute to our fallen heroes

the brave men who paved the road to our success

please let's take a moment of silence

ever that looks incredible

I can't see the wires at all

how did you do that just put a flag

it's very simple old school

no again

from the top

and maybe let's get some more bounce this time

you are on the moon

good

I can't I can't with this day

oh dear

oh Joseph

there's a fire I got it

don't forget to pass

okay can you bring them down

actually leave them up

let them think about what they did

I give up

I'm taking lunch no

see what you did you made her take lunch early

that's on you

I've been looking all over for you owe me five bucks

I got an idea what

come on I'll tell you

on the way to Louisiana

no you want to take a shot at banning

I got us a dinner tonight

where tonight come on

oh wait

no no

no we don't know if there's other we can do

you want a baby or not no

come on I don't

let's

go

right

now

I see the world in such a long world

I bet your

eyes are closed

so I'm betting you have some other southern accents

and that bag of tricks yours

can you do Louisiana Normans or Baton Rouge

wherever his wax room

call David and you must be Miss Kelly Jones

please come in

thank you so much for having us for dinner

I was told you are New York City time

I'm from Louisiana born and raised in one day buried

I'm from Virginia no family

you know

Tex Rita always said Virginia was the mother of Texas

well we never knew who the father was

we always suspected it was Louisiana

so how is the campaign going senator

truth be told politics is more of a hobby to me

servant Christ that's my full time job

you know there's a war on religion in this country

and some say science is to blame

well science is what brought us to this table

you Learned a little lesson on the provocation of pride

on Apollo 1 now didn't you cope

science is actually brought me closer to God

sir took the Lord

six days to put forth

everything that we know is creation

and on that six day he gave us dominion over

and personally I take that as a responsibility

you sound like a man who knows his way to church

I can't think of a greater act of faith

than pursuing the stars

the heavens declare the glory of god

and the firmament chose us its handiwork

it's one of Jolene's favorite psalms

see our men when they come back from space

they believe more in god not less

but when we land on and thanks to Miss Jones here

the world watches us do it

and it's my hope that people everywhere

feel the presence of that divine

well

you Bob

certainly give me a lot to think about son

you really sold the hell out of that I wasn't selling

for the record

you can win people over just by being who you are

you know we're not in a rush

so we don't really have to fly home

oh that wasn't flying

come on open your eyes

you trust me

one second what

now this is the fun part slide up

3 2 1

if you think you know what's going on

I've had my disagreements

with the NASA program in the past

but after a great deal of thought and prayer

I've decided to vote yes

something that you need to see

I didn't know which way I was gonna go

you can't tell these guys

I never liked that guy before but I like them now

alright it's so dark in here

I'm a little scared yeah it's right

I wanna show you our appreciation

oh my gosh I can't believe it

I know that you did all of this

didn't you yeah

you know

too bad huh

before I forget here

it's a list of things for you to say

when you take your first step

I know everybody's asking

I thought I'd give you some options

I was just gonna say

look at all those cool rocks or something

I got this one okay

thank you though I mean it for

for everything

you know

I don't think anyone cares about this program more than

Cole Davis

it's nice to see you found something else to care about

I don't know astronaut but can I steal you from dance

so you just count down the days

until you can get back to Manhattan

really

but what God doesn't do with my

finger baby you don't know what it's like

perfect right now what did I do

ladies what do we think Lance

it's incredible it's great

like it needs little more dust and better actors

but I lost that battle I will let it go

and stop okay

can I have some

I always went along with every web you spun

because it was fun

or like we were pulling one over all the bad guys

but this feels I know

almost done

this is from me it is for launch day

promise you will wait until then I promise

remember you're not monsters

I think it'd be that hot

I just need any languages like that

but thank you for the moon

let's take it down Son Armstrong

stop looking at me for approval just be on the moon

I'm not here

stop recording

Yesterday's science fiction is today's fact

the methods are different

but the important thing is that tomorrow morning

may have been lift off toward the moon

good evening I'm order Drive Guy

and on this Eve of

man's first flight toward a landing on the moon

all preparations go smoothly

the weather prediction

along with the help astronauts new arm

yes

no

well

you know how to hurt a fella

no courtesy call well

I don't have your number you ran

that's what you do best

your alternate version is wrong

I never should have been a part of it

I quit

sit

ah ah

so who are we gonna be today

see

Helen Parker

I bet you do a killer British accent

you want to take off the Helen go ahead

Helen doesn't have to look over her shoulder

no one is coming for you

unless unless

you ever tell anyone that Project Artemis was real

and the moon landing was fake oh

that score change of plans um

we're going to air the alternate version no matter what

oh you were never gonna broadcast the real thing

this isn't just a race for the moon

it is a race for which ideology gets to run things

I got one of my men to rig the limb camera

so that just beams back audio

we're gonna sync with their sound

and use your fake stage broadcast

start to finish

let me be the first to thank you on behalf of America

come on don't feel bad

everybody gets what they want

you get a new life with no past to run from

and

the world doesn't have to sleep under a communist moon

okay Panama beacons you better hurry

you're going to miss your flight heading

this is a typical meal

served to astronauts aboard Apollo space flights

oatmeal toast and a special zero gravity pouch Tang

and more vitamin C than orange juice

what are you doing here

I need to show you something

it was supposed to be a contingency plan

that's how we sold it

it's an insurance policy in case we failed

it's good to know that you never believed in us

I know you're upset I understand

what do you understand

please tell me what you understand

cause you don't understand shit about truth

if you fake this mission if you fake this mission

every single thing that we have sacrificed

will have been for nothing

I know I messed up I know that

but you know

you couldn't have made it to this day without me

I could have walked away last night

but I didn't I came back to fix this

fix what

mo cut the lamp camera

and if we don't fix this together

then this is gonna be the version that the world sees

it's not a contingency

God she's so good at leaving me no options

fine let's fix it

but when this is over

I never wanna see your face again

this is what happens when you work for Richard Nixon

I got your book for me

opened it early I came in just the right time

coming up shortly will be another

we're live from the cave

where it's a beautiful day to make

history

it's busted

that's just TVs they are all too old

I mean a brand new solid state color TV

how fast can you give me 2 electronics

for being the worst traffic in Florida history

I can't I have to prep the guys give me the keys

fine I'll start hurry go

go go

go go go

please please stop

please stop

here it is here's the sword

Kelly told me everything

bra Visimo that was history

hi Helen I'm sorry Kelly

I heard you came back so I came back too

I took a little peeky poo at the moon set

and it is perfection great job

if you think that

I'm gonna let you broadcast some fake version of this

I'll go to the press right now

you uh

you go to the press bring it by the moon set

but just know

that no one will ever trust the legitimacy of NASA

again this is a matter of national security

this broadcast must take place in a controlled setting

you of all people

must understand that

the mission isn't about landing on the moon anymore

it is about the world

watching America beat Russia on TV

I got a flight to catch

I'll be back in time for the lunar broadcast

I thought I'd watch you here with you Kelly on the moon

hey

we're making history

everything you said about me is true

I'm a con artist and I always have been

my real name is not even Kelly

but the story is that I told you about

my mom and I selling products to order or

those were true

they were all scams

and we started out small and then they got bigger

like real estate and insurance and

when I was 16

a guy in North Dakota pulled a gun

and my mom pulled hers out first and she killed him

and she told me to run and I did

she went to prison and I never saw her again

and I forced documents and used fake names to get jobs

and when I went to New York

I found advertising that was

like the scams that my mom told me that was legal

I lied to so many people

the worst lies are the ones I told myself

everybody does it yeah it's just a big game

then I came down here

I met you

I Learned what it was like

to be a part of something real

no offered me a way to erase my past

I thought that's what I wanted but

I don't wanna run anymore

now is a worthy opponent he has met his match

I promise this is the last time

I will trick anyone into getting what I want

promise

you think you could do it without mine

absolutely not yeah I don't think so

so what's the plan

cause no bugs everything guys like Houdini

he's everywhere okay

so doesn't know that we fix the one camera

we go to plan around that

all we have to do is convince him that

your broadcasting fit

when my name when in reality we're broadcasting around

is there a way that we could rig the equipment

that it actually sends out the real one video feed

come on boys you figured out how to land on the moon

give me a hypothetical um

hypothetically we could rewire it

so that it only picks up the broadcast signal

from mission control sure

then think of what I'm thinking right

hey fellas

overcass at these guys to test the broadcast fee

telling me none of you got the phone call

great alright where's the camera

okay

can you guys hurry up please

God maybe just take a cigarette

I'm sorry I'm sorry

I just never spoke a cigarette

I don't like it

11 this is Houston and your golfer

Ohio this is Houston

all your systems are looking good around the corner

we'll see you on the other side

and we've had loss of signal

as Apollo 11 goes behind the moon

it's now 3:30 Eastern Daylight Time

at 3:46 we should be getting the first signal from

24 hold on guys

voice when you hear my voice

you hear God now

this is a fake move but to the world

it's showtime folks

your government

thanks you for the work you're about to do

now don't fuck it up

what is this nasty shit doing here

excuse me

this is a tab set and that is my chair Kelly

let's deal with this and thank you so much

so these screens this is our feed

okay and then

and the TV is a live broadcast

right Joseph

I'm sitting oh my God

are you real I'm the director Lance Vespertine

stay out of my way all right

well I'd say it was nice to meet you

but so far it is not patience and copy that

right out of our front window

14 feet still looking very good

15 seconds of

fuel left

we have run successful tests within that range

30/32 that's a lot

four coming down nicely 203

four and a/2 down up and a half down

now I'm gonna wait

right

Tranquility Base here

rocket crank quality we copy on the ground

you got a bunch of guys about to turn blue

we're breathing again

alright alright alright

come on

let's focus

we're only halfway there

here thank you guys

places places

everyone look sharp let's look sharp Edward

Edward off the stage you're killing me Edward

we are done haha

you're done no more tweaking

what are you the repeater

no I'm not the repeater

this is the system we created before you got here

camera is coming down

3 2 1 and action

okay would you verify the position

the opening I have on the camera

Armstrong prepare to disembark

your visor

I am opening the door for you Chris

okay now we can see you coming down the ladder now

okay left

and right

left and right now left foot off

left foot off easy

easy step down and land

how do you know what day he's gonna do ahead of time

first all of this and Kelly appropriated it

stole it I knew I had the right people

it's seamless it's incredible

I'm at the foot of the ladder

the left foot paths are only depressed in the surface

about 1 or 2 inches

fine green doesn't get close to it

down there is very high

that's one small step for man

one giant leap for mankind

I can spend years coming soon I've been

is that uh in the script

it's a good line

July 1969 everything became escaped from mankind

the right to bring back left about four to five days

okay I'm gonna do it now

the only problem is to get them

the president of the United States

would like to thank your work

David over that would be an honor

I'm talking to you by telephone

from the Over Room at the White House

they have Secret Service all over this place

and it certainly has to be

the most historic telephone call I've ever made

he actually reminds me a lot of

you didn't say that don't even joke about that

we're still holding my depressed drums on

don't move Armstrong I'm watching you the most

are you receiving pictures

the video feed line is not appearing

what do you mean

somebody you tell me do you see a picture

we're getting a power surge warning on the camera

and get grabbed out can you still see us

yeah I can still see him

one second you see the video if you like

is it one up there you sure that cameras working

yeah I installed it apart

it should be working just fine

but I don't like I was in a rush

shit

what's wrong

we're not sure that the camera of a man is working

I think that's your feed broadcasting

does the feed on your TV look like you said

I can't tell the test test it

I have one of your ages gives it a wave or something
