{1411}{1491}There was a demon that lived in the air,
{1503}{1599}They said whoever challenged him|would die,
{1635}{1683}Their controls would freeze up,
{1686}{1747}Their planes would buffet wildly,,,
{1771}{1819},,,and they would disintegrate,
{1927}{1999}The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter,,,
{2009}{2067},,, 750 miles an hour,,,
{2075}{2151},,,where the air could no longer|move out of the way,
{2178}{2305}He lived behind a barrier through|which they said no man could ever pass,
{2347}{2431}They called it the sound barrier,
{2491}{2540}Then they built a small plane,,,
{2543}{2629},,,the X-1, to try and break|the sound barrier,
{2654}{2759}And men came to the high desert|of California to ride it,
{2851}{2911}They were called test pilots,,,
{2951}{3009},,,and no one knew their names,
{3387}{3459}Okay, Whiskey Kilo 28, prepare to drop,
{3462}{3530}Roger, Ground Control,|This is Whiskey Kilo 28,,,
{3532}{3591},,,lowering and launching,,,now,
{3887}{3935}Mach ,92,
{4019}{4067},93,
{4147}{4179},94,
{4205}{4255}Hit a mild buffet there,
{4307}{4347}Mach ,95,
{4699}{4731},98!
{4818}{4850},99!
{4886}{4954}WK 28, do you want|to declare an emergency?
{4962}{5022}Negative, WK 28 is not--
{5654}{5698}Go away.
{5970}{6040}"Lord, guard and guide
{6045}{6109}"The men who fly
{6133}{6207}"Through the great spaces
{6228}{6287}"In the sky.
{6326}{6394}"Be with them always
{6422}{6480}"In the air
{6495}{6616}"In darkening storms or sunlight fair.
{6722}{6844}"Hear us when we lift our prayer
{6915}{7027}"For all in peril
{7039}{7124}"In the air."
{10330}{10387}I was looking at the pictures on your wall.
{10389}{10428}How come a fancy pilot...
{10430}{10510}...like Slick there,|doesnt have his picture up there?
{10525}{10593}What do you have to do|to get your picture up there?
{10595}{10640}You have to die.
{10726}{10790}Well, Yeager, you old bastard.
{10807}{10925}Dont just stand in the doorway|like some lonesome sheepherder.
{10930}{10981}Get your ass over here and have a drink.
{10983}{11022}I got you something.
{11278}{11319}You could be the first.
{11322}{11394}The man who breaks the sound barrier|will be on top.
{11406}{11445}Youd be the one they remembered.
{11447}{11514}Youre the best civilian pilot around.
{11550}{11587}You get that helmet?
{11662}{11694}It might work.
{11702}{11745}Ill look like the Galloping Ghost in it.
{11747}{11823}Some people say the sound barrier|cant be broke.
{11840}{11903}An engineer will tell you its an absolute...
{11905}{11957}...like the firmness of the earth.
{11971}{12046}The sound barrier is a farm|you can buy in the sky.
{12054}{12130}The controls will freeze up.|You cant budge the stick.
{12132}{12198}Anybody tries to break it will auger in.
{12246}{12310}Well now, maybe it cant be broke.
{12338}{12370}Then again...
{12402}{12438}...maybe it can.
{12481}{12582}Maybe it can only be broke|for a specified sum.
{12625}{12654}How much?
{12710}{12770}$150,000.
{12780}{12837}Come on, Slick, give us a break.
{12882}{12946}Non-negotiable, as usual.
{13082}{13117}What do we do now?
{13122}{13168}That guy in the corner....
{13182}{13217}Yeager is his name.
{13219}{13300}Hes some kind of a war hero.|Shot down five Germans in one day.
{13302}{13362}Hes a natural-born stick-and-rudder man.
{13370}{13442}As press-liaison man for the Air Force,|I think....
{13458}{13502}Any problems with him?
{13510}{13547}-Only one.|-Whats that?
{13562}{13598}Holding him back.
{13810}{13902}We were just talking to Slick|about the sound barrier.
{13930}{13997}We feel that the X-1|is ready to have a go at it.
{13999}{14086}We think the X-1s got the answer|to go beyond Mach 1.
{14097}{14138}If there is any beyond.
{14205}{14249}So, what do you think?
{14271}{14363}Ill tell you. Half these engineers|have never been off the ground.
{14365}{14449}They might tell you that|the sound barriers a brick wall.
{14451}{14524}Itll rip your ears off|if you try to go through it.
{14529}{14609}If you ask me,|I dont believe the damn thing even exists.
{14613}{14665}Waitress, a drink for Mr. Yeager.
{14667}{14705}No thanks, I got one.
{14726}{14789}So, do you think|you want to have a go at it?
{14797}{14825}I might.
{14837}{14949}But since, as you say,|this sound barrier doesnt really exist...
{14970}{15001}...how much--
{15005}{15039}How much you got?
{15061}{15140}Just joking.|The Air Force is already paying me. Right?
{15193}{15228}So when do we go?
{15253}{15297}How about tomorrow morning?
{15320}{15351}Ill be there.
{15376}{15406}See you there.
{15485}{15531}How much are you paying him?
{15541}{15601}I think its $283.
{15609}{15636}A week?
{15639}{15673}A month.
{15685}{15723}Well, thats not bad.
{15851}{15917}First fellow to break the sound barrier...
{15920}{15989}...gets a free steak with all the trimmings.
{16056}{16113}Ill have mine medium rare, please.
{16303}{16373}Honey, you ever been caught|on the desert alone?
{16483}{16519}I never have.
{16577}{16625}I dont think I ever will.
{16687}{16757}Never met the man|who could catch me out there.
{16765}{16801}Im half jackrabbit.
{16880}{16921}Forget it, flyboy.
{16943}{17001}Youd never catch me.
{17021}{17057}I believe I will.
{17093}{17133}Cant be done.
{17597}{17645}Could I ask you something?
{17705}{17745}Forget it, sweetie.
{17765}{17801}Shes his wife.
{18285}{18335}Glennis! Im gonna get you!
{18390}{18427}Come back here!
{20484}{20536}What have you two been up to?
{20572}{20608}Wheres Ridley?
{20616}{20660}Over there waiting on you.
{20772}{20808}Can I talk to you?
{20889}{20945}I got a little problem.
{20984}{21075}A horse threw me last night|and I dinged up my goddamn ribs.
{21081}{21106}How bad?
{21108}{21180}I feel like I broke a couple|of the sons of bitches.
{21196}{21284}I wont be able to lean over|to shut the door. Got any ideas?
{21288}{21324}Your left side okay?
{21375}{21470}I dont want these guys to know.|Theyll find somebody else to fly this thing.
{21472}{21518}Ill try to fix you a handle.
{21724}{21780}Can you help me out?|I got a small emergency.
{21782}{21884}I need to borrow your broom handle.|Just hold this right here.
{22100}{22138}I think thatll work.
{22500}{22544}Punch a hole in the sky.
{22576}{22612}Ill be right back.
{22748}{22780}How are you feeling?
{22782}{22820}Oh, just about right.
{24292}{24384}There she is, partner.|All bridled, saddled and ready to go.
{24419}{24459}You got any Beemans?
{24465}{24503}Yeah, I got a stick.
{24507}{24556}Loan me some. Ill pay you back later.
{24558}{24587}Fair enough.
{24938}{25030}Stick this in the handle.|Take your good arm and just whang it.
{25052}{25088}Okay, thanks, buddy.
{27021}{27066}Pre-drop checklist complete,
{27074}{27118}Ten,,,nine,,,,
{27368}{27393}Drop!
{27481}{27520}There you go, buddy,
{27628}{27682}Put your spurs to her, Chuck,
{28311}{28354}Mach ,91,
{28778}{28804},92,
{28924}{28958},93,
{29094}{29134}Hit a mild buffet there,
{29140}{29184}Just the usual instability,
{29222}{29286}Ridley, make a note here,|would you, ifyou got,,,
{29288}{29366},,,nothing better to do,|Elevator effectiveness regained,
{29558}{29598},95,
{29686}{29725},96,
{29868}{29898}More buffeting,
{29925}{29956}More commotion,
{29960}{29998}Getting wobbly here,
{30096}{30125},98,
{30149}{30191}Shes getting real active,
{30413}{30441},99!
{30705}{30741}Whats that sound?
{30897}{30941}He bought the farm.
{31004}{31061}Thats it. Were back to square one.
{31122}{31152}Wait a minute.
{31339}{31399}Ridley, make another note, would you?
{31421}{31481}Must be something wrong|with the Machmeter,
{31483}{31527}Jumped plumb off the scale,
{31543}{31583}Gone screwy on me,
{31591}{31643}You bust it, well fix it,
{31648}{31708}Personally, I think youre seeing things,
{31771}{31859}Could be, Im still going upstairs|like a bat out of hell,
{31975}{32007}We did it!
{32023}{32081}We finally broke the sound barrier.
{32095}{32127}We did it!
{33034}{33104}I want to place a long-distance call|to Los Angeles.
{33106}{33140}Who are you calling?
{33142}{33168}The press!
{33170}{33254}This is big news.|The sound barriers been broken.
{33256}{33298}No, sir. No press.
{33306}{33370}No word of this goes beyond the flight line.
{33374}{33466}Whats going on? This is big news.|We need coverage of this.
{33468}{33514}No, sir. Sorry, no press.
{33518}{33576}Those are orders. National security.
{33578}{33614}But the wars over!
{33622}{33698}Look, pal, maybe they dont want|someone to know.
{33708}{33732}Who?
{33742}{33778}The Russians, maybe.
{33782}{33834}But theyre our allies!
{33842}{33962}Well, anyway, someone figured it out|that way, and thats the way it is.
{33990}{34028}Chuck, youre our man!
{34050}{34091}Youre the fastest man alive!
{34093}{34139}We want you to fly more planes for us.
{34141}{34202}We want you to fly all our planes!
{34218}{34278}What you been doing, hedgehopping?
{35246}{35287}Word will get out, Major.
{35289}{35354}Maybe not to the press|or the general public.
{35362}{35464}But soon, every fighter jock, rocket ace,|and rat-racer in the country...
{35466}{35578}...will be headed this way, wanting|to push the outside of the envelope...
{35590}{35662}...and get to the top of the pyramid.
{36294}{36348}Edwards Air Force Base.
{36350}{36397}This is the place to be, hon.
{36400}{36483}Theyre going faster, farther|and higher here than anywhere else.
{36618}{36670}Ill tell you something else, too.
{36674}{36785}Well climb right up that ladder,|just like we did at Langley.
{36806}{36830}We?
{36858}{36890}You mean you.
{36910}{36954}Hon, were a team!
{36962}{37011}I move up, you move up.
{37025}{37079}Right to the top of the old pyramid.
{37122}{37152}Slow down, Gordo.
{37154}{37211}Come on now, youre scaring the girls.
{37214}{37290}Youre scaring the girls. You are!
{37418}{37478}Whos the best pilot you ever saw?
{37526}{37578}Whos the best pilot you ever saw?
{37734}{37782}Youre looking at him, baby.
{37882}{37922}Come on, cheer up.
{37942}{38005}Hey, have I ever let you down?
{38883}{38953}Deke, thats 62 men...
{38964}{39011}...in the last 36 weeks.
{39051}{39097}You know what that averages?
{39182}{39243}Is that Gus Grissom from Langley Field?
{39275}{39347}What is an ace like you|doing in a place like this?
{39349}{39401}Well, if it aint Hot Dog.
{39423}{39453}Gordo...
{39476}{39516}-...Cooper, right?|-Yeah.
{39535}{39631}Gordo thinks hes one of those|hot-dog pilots you hear so much about.
{39639}{39683}You got a short memory.
{39687}{39794}I am not one of them hot-dog pilots.|I am the Hot Dog Man himself.
{39805}{39902}I guess youre too shy to tell this guy|how I used to wax your tail.
{39966}{39998}Wax my tail?
{40042}{40098}Hot Dog, you were just in my shadow.
{40118}{40166}Thats where youll always be.
{40172}{40230}What are you two rookies going to have?
{40258}{40282}Rookies?
{40338}{40386}Now hold on, sis.
{40406}{40484}You are looking|at a whole new ballgame here now.
{40519}{40589}In a few years I bet youre even|going to immortalize us...
{40591}{40660}...by putting our pictures up there|on your wall.
{40798}{40854}Did I say something wrong?
{40865}{40950}Ill tell you. We got two categories|of pilots around here.
{40962}{41042}We got your prime pilots|that get all the hot planes.
{41045}{41142}And we got your pudknockers|who dream about getting the hot planes.
{41168}{41245}Now what are you two pudknockers|going to have?
{41370}{41402}Scotch.
{41450}{41518}You know what happened!|The machine broke.
{41520}{41550}Not the machine, its the man.
{41552}{41634}He was dead before he went up.|Dont talk about it here.
{42134}{42190}Good one. Now fire it in here.
{42227}{42264}Look at old Yeager.
{42282}{42362}On top of the pyramid|for five goddamn years.
{42378}{42454}Every time somebody goes faster,|he just goes up again.
{42482}{42538}He stays the fastest man alive.
{42669}{42701}You know...
{42716}{42747}...sometimes...
{42768}{42846}...all it takes is just the sound|of a truck starting.
{42885}{42911}I think:
{42930}{42971}"Thats the crash truck."
{43134}{43159}Anyway...
{43178}{43230}...Im really glad we could talk.
{43246}{43321}I thought I was the only one|who had these nightmares.
{43359}{43388}Yeah, me too.
{43409}{43490}Nobody ever wants to talk|about anything around here.
{43498}{43546}Everybodys always trying to...
{43578}{43646}..."maintain an even strain."
{43686}{43793}Well, you marry a fighter jock|and you marry the military.
{43830}{43870}Ill tell you one thing.
{43882}{43946}The military owes me for all this.
{43957}{44018}One day I expect the military|to make good.
{44138}{44214}Well, it sure aint your average dull life.
{44250}{44295}I went East for a reunion...
{44297}{44378}...and all my friends could talk about|was their husbands work.
{44380}{44486}How dog-eat-dog and cutthroat it was|on Madison Avenue...
{44509}{44546}...places like that.
{44622}{44662}Cutthroat?
{44706}{44770}I wondered how they would have felt...
{44794}{44870}...if each time their husband|went in to make a deal...
{44878}{44973}...there was a one in four chance|he wouldnt come out of the meeting.
{45149}{45178}Look at them.
{45217}{45279}Youd think they were talking about sports.
{45449}{45473}Men....
{45506}{45581}Sometimes theyre just such...assholes.
{45897}{45964}Sometimes they sure are|handy assholes, though.
{45994}{46026}Look at that!
{46038}{46102}Yeah, thats the D-558 Phase 2.
{46110}{46148}Scott Crossfield.
{46150}{46214}It sure as hell is. Jesus!
{46294}{46344}He scorched that one, didnt he?
{46430}{46484}Hes pushing the outside of the envelope.
{46486}{46534}He must be going for a record.
{46536}{46588}Hes shooting for Mach 2, I heard.
{46659}{46759}On the 50th anniversary|of the Wright Brothers historic flight,,,
{46769}{46853},,,another historic flight takes place,|as Scott Crossfield,,,
{46860}{46955},,,streaks across the skies|over the high desert in California,
{46962}{46990}Mach 2,
{46992}{47063}Almost 1,500 miles per hour,,,
{47066}{47122},,,and a new world record!
{47130}{47182}Its a field day for the press,
{47190}{47250}Congratulations come|from a previous record holder,,,
{47252}{47364},,,as he shakes the hand|of the fastest man alive, Scott Crossfield,
{47373}{47446}And theres a comradeship of speed,
{47450}{47524}To Scott Crossfield, the fastest man alive.
{47990}{48042}Compliments of Panchos, Scotty.
{48114}{48162}The real test wasnt Mach 2.
{48170}{48271}I guess that demon lives out|at about 2.3 on your Machmeter.
{48299}{48358}Yeah, but Mach 2 was the magic number.
{48370}{48477}Like 60 homers, like batting .400,|like the four-minute mile.
{48493}{48546}The press likes a nice round number.
{48550}{48628}After that, they dont care,|until the next magic number.
{48630}{48718}You need more than speed records.|You need coverage.
{48726}{48754}Coverage?
{48762}{48850}You mean them root weevils|that crawl around popping off cameras?
{48854}{48906}Those root weevils write history.
{48912}{49005}Let them write the history,|and let the pilots fly the planes.
{49046}{49074}Pilots.
{49661}{49726}You know what really makes|your rocket ships go up?
{49728}{49814}The aerodynamics would take|so long to explain to you that--
{49818}{49843}Funding.
{49845}{49895}Thats what makes your ships go up.
{49897}{49937}Ill tell you something.
{49951}{49989}And you guys, too.
{50003}{50065}No bucks, no Buck Rogers.
{50082}{50145}Whoever gets the funding|gets the technology.
{50147}{50218}Whoever gets the technology stays on top.
{50220}{50261}Flyboy, lets dance.
{50280}{50318}Ill drink to that.
{51098}{51165}Hell be going after Crossfield soon,|wont he?
{51175}{51205}No, he wont.
{51209}{51289}Hell be going after that demon|that lives in the thin air.
{52444}{52478}Okay, drop her,
{52484}{52536}All right, here we go again.
{52640}{52660}Drop!
{52914}{52955}Number 3 coming on,
{53152}{53216}Got seven seconds on 150 right now,
{53688}{53735}Ive got you in sight, Chuck,
{53751}{53789}Going out of sight,,,
{53804}{53828},,,now!
{53991}{54023}Mach 1,
{54275}{54301}Number 4,
{54425}{54459}Here goes Mach 2,
{54471}{54499}2, 1,
{54505}{54537}Sorry, Scotty,
{54577}{54611}You got her now, buddy,
{54613}{54651}You can ease it back,
{54675}{54707}Bring it on in,
{54711}{54752}Im pushing the envelope,
{54785}{54828}See where that demon lives,
{55317}{55365}Come in, Chuck,
{55414}{55449}Say again, Over,
{55451}{55496}Do you read? Over,
{55555}{55619}Damn! Hes uncorked it!
{55638}{55671}Mayday! Mayday!
{55675}{55719}Alert all ground crews,
{55831}{55871}Talk to me!
{56035}{56059}Come in!
{56125}{56173}Do you read me? Over,
{56452}{56495}Im fighting bad here,
{56539}{56615}Im down to 25,000 over Tehachapi,
{56703}{56773}I dont know if I can make it|back to base or not,
{56803}{56835}What happened?
{56838}{56903}Think I bust the canopy with my head,
{56911}{56949}Im getting okay now,
{57015}{57087}We sure chased that old demon this time,
{57111}{57160}Thats as fast as a man can go,
{57207}{57247}Whats next, Ridley?
{58204}{58234}Its called Sputnik.
{58236}{58283}We know. Sit down.
{58423}{58471}And as I was saying...
{58487}{58575}...whoever controls|the high ground of space...
{58587}{58630}...will control the world.
{58648}{58747}The Roman Empire controlled|the world because it could build roads.
{58756}{58847}Later, the British Empire was dominant|because it had ships.
{58881}{58974}In the air stage, we were powerful|because we had the airplane.
{59010}{59094}Now the Communists have established|a foothold in outer space.
{59107}{59192}Soon theyll have space platforms|to drop nuclear bombs on us...
{59194}{59250}...like rocks from a highway overpass.
{59262}{59334}How the hell did they get ahead of us?
{59337}{59386}Gentlemen, I think were ready.
{59520}{59582}Is there a loose plug over there anywhere?
{59648}{59689}Here it is. Ill get it.
{59694}{59758}Senator Johnsons right.|This is Armageddon.
{59766}{59836}The decisive battle between|the forces of good and evil.
{59838}{59906}Were engaged in a struggle for survival.
{59964}{60019}This footage was assembled from...
{60025}{60098}...sources operating under deep cover|at great risk.
{60125}{60207}Were fortunate this material|did not perish with a couple of men.
{60209}{60287}This is secret footage|of the Russian Korabl rocket...
{60289}{60382}...and these are the German scientists|that they captured after the war.
{60384}{60460}Was it their German scientists|who got them up there first?
{60505}{60546}No, it was not, Senator.
{60548}{60615}Our Germans are better|than their Germans.
{60628}{60703}Thats Titov on the right|and on the left is Gagarin.
{60706}{60774}No, Titovs on the left.|Gagarins on the right.
{60817}{60877}They bear a great resemblance|to each other.
{60879}{60990}If the Soviets ever do put a man up there,|it will be one of these two.
{60994}{61042}Most likely, the one on the left.
{61044}{61076}-Gagarin.|-Titov.
{61114}{61152}Isnt that their chief designer?
{61154}{61192}We know very little about him.
{61194}{61256}-Let us see him again.|-Heres some more of him.
{61258}{61332}Theyve developed a program|of stupendous dimensions...
{61334}{61396}...and he is clearly the genius behind it.
{61444}{61506}I, for one, do not intend to go to sleep...
{61514}{61570}...by the light of a Communist moon.
{61660}{61712}Get that moron off of there!
{61810}{61878}We could have orbited|a satellite a year ago...
{61880}{61931}...if we had been given a green light.
{61933}{62023}Now we must get something up there|quick and dirty, any way at all.
{62026}{62054}Well, what?
{62062}{62156}By combining our available rockets,|the Redstone, the Atlas...
{62163}{62221}...I agree that we could launch a pod.
{62244}{62271}A pot?
{62274}{62298}A pod.
{62310}{62342}A capsule.
{62344}{62408}Now, we will be in full control of this pod.
{62412}{62467}It will go up like a cannonball...
{62469}{62530}...and come down like a cannonball...
{62538}{62598}...splashing down in the ocean...
{62603}{62687}...with a parachute to spare the life|of the specimen inside.
{62710}{62742}Spaceman?
{62750}{62779}Specimen.
{62833}{62886}Well, what kind of "specimen"?
{62918}{62950}A tough one.
{62978}{63019}Responsive to orders.
{63053}{63094}I had in mind a jimp.
{63108}{63132}"Jimp"?
{63138}{63185}Well, what the hell is a "jimp"?
{63194}{63276}A jimp. A jimpanzee, Senator. An ape.
{63292}{63384}The first American into space|is not going to be a chimpanzee.
{63421}{63490}Who would you put into space,|Mr. President?
{63493}{63588}We have film of some people|we think are strong candidates.
{63590}{63666}Wed like to run it by you|and stimulate some thinking.
{63702}{63794}These are people we felt|would be excellent in the splashdown.
{63799}{63844}We like the one on the right.
{63846}{63928}-No, on the left.|-On the right. Dont embarrass me!
{63930}{64039}These people are very experienced with|machinery and have their own helmets.
{64046}{64077}Is that a factor?
{64079}{64114}As youll see...
{64124}{64197}...theyre quite comfortable|in conditions of flame.
{64221}{64325}Now this is personnel who have|very well-developed equilibrium.
{64365}{64427}Good middle ear. Also very nice people.
{64429}{64460}Very easy to work with.
{64462}{64535}With some work,|they could be very responsive to orders.
{64537}{64606}This is my first choice.|The man with the hood.
{64609}{64721}Since he works without eyesight,|his other senses are sharpened.
{64725}{64806}In space therell be little need|for eyeballing at any rate.
{64808}{64873}The cannonball effect you mentioned....
{64880}{64947}We were basically thinking about...
{64949}{64998}...putting a couple into orbit.
{65004}{65057}Possibly adds emotional stability.
{65073}{65155}This individual combines many|plus factors that we mentioned.
{65157}{65255}Ease with flames, comfort at heights|and agility in the splashdown phase.
{65257}{65314}Also, he is available as of the 15th.
{65371}{65416}I want test pilots!
{65432}{65485}Test pilots? No, you cant deal with them.
{65487}{65563}Im sure we can do better|with another type of man...
{65568}{65610}...any other type of man.
{65616}{65657}A more manageable type.
{65660}{65708}It will only complicate things.
{65710}{65771}With a man we must guarantee|a safe return.
{65773}{65845}Mr. President, I think|youd be wise to reconsider.
{65889}{65918}Test pilots?
{65921}{65963}Well be heading for some air bases.
{65965}{66005}Not just some air bases.
{66010}{66093}The one with the great test pilots.|Theres only one place to go.
{66300}{66367}These must be our gentlemen|from Washington...
{66374}{66418}...scouting for astronauts.
{66488}{66546}Scouting for lab rabbits, more likely.
{66566}{66606}I didnt quite hear you.
{66665}{66706}I said, "Lab rabbits."
{66736}{66764}Whats that mean?
{66766}{66834}It means you dont need|honest-to-God pilots.
{66846}{66942}What you ought to get is a lab rabbit|to curl up in your damn capsule...
{66953}{66999}...with its heart beating...
{67005}{67046}...and a wire up the kazoo.
{67107}{67137}I dont hold with it.
{67139}{67171}I dont either.
{67181}{67244}You want a pilot to be a ballistic missile.
{67249}{67287}And then splashdown.
{67298}{67346}Possibly get lost at sea.
{67349}{67405}Theres some things you cant change.
{67421}{67479}Some peckerwoods|got to take the beast up.
{67481}{67561}And some peckerwoods got to land it.
{67573}{67657}And that peckerwood is called a pilot.
{67673}{67710}Youre mighty right.
{67715}{67777}The boys smell panic in your program.
{67781}{67836}Thats one thing they dont respond to.
{67838}{67943}Now maybe if we talk privately|to Yeager and some of the other boys--
{67945}{67975}Thats Yeager?
{67977}{68057}Anybody goes up in the damn things|gonna be Spam in a can.
{68195}{68244}Yeager doesnt fit the profile.
{68268}{68353}He didnt go to college.|Were only taking college personnel.
{68369}{68481}Forget about Walker and Crossfield|and the other civilian pilots, too.
{68536}{68620}The security clearance just takes|too long with those people.
{68629}{68697}Besides, they seem|a little too independent.
{68737}{68792}You mean for this space race...
{68808}{68859}...you dont want our best pilots?
{68869}{68905}I didnt say that.
{68917}{68997}We want the best pilots that we can get.
{69066}{69106}Yall want some whiskey?
{69118}{69177}No, thanks, Fred. Just a little coffee.
{69187}{69229}Id like a Coca-Cola.
{69250}{69284}In a clean glass.
{69295}{69376}Theres an old saying:|"Never refuse a combat assignment."
{69441}{69557}Well, there sure is a long line|of shit-hot rocket aces around here.
{69594}{69623}Hey, Hot Dog.
{69653}{69713}What the hells "astronaut" mean anyway?
{69793}{69825}Star voyager.
{69937}{69985}Star voyager Gus Grissom.
{70045}{70089}I like the sound of that.
{70124}{70153}Now your name is?
{70161}{70205}My name, Jose Jimenez,
{70269}{70337}Who are we gonna get|to take on the Russians?
{70349}{70437}Have you seen this Jose Jimenez?|Hes a crack-up.
{70485}{70581}I am the chief astronaut|of the United States Interplanetary,,,,
{70749}{70797}My name, Jose Jimenez,
{70820}{70899}Now I see you have some of|your space equipment with you,
{70906}{70965}What is that called? The crash helmet?
{70973}{71013}Oh, I hope not,
{71022}{71055}Get that guy off.
{71066}{71122}The countrys already laughing at us.
{71197}{71239}This is the show I wanted you to see.
{71241}{71273}Who, that kid?
{71350}{71407}Winner of five|Distinguished Flying Crosses,,,
{71409}{71521},,,and holder of the coast-to-coast,|nonstop, supersonic flight record,,,
{71529}{71579},,,from the U,S, Marine Corps,,,
{71589}{71622},,,Major John Glenn!
{71624}{71649}That guy.
{71753}{71810}Can you tell us whats that song?
{71865}{71913}Straighten Up and Fly Right,
{72129}{72182}Its Straighten Up and Fly Right.
{72201}{72231}Hes not dumb.
{72404}{72504}Major, Eddie here has a little problem|with his girlfriend,
{72516}{72592}Did you ever have a problem like that|when you were ten?
{72602}{72640}Yes, I did, Bob,
{72659}{72711}I liked a girl in my class, but,,,
{72720}{72792},,,the other guys liked her too|and she didnt pay attention,
{72794}{72848}But I kept after her, Eddie,
{72873}{72930}Did you finally get her to notice you?
{72932}{72960}Yes, I did,
{72968}{73026}In fact, I finally got her to marry me,
{73145}{73179}They love the guy.
{73593}{73652}Delta Charlie 9, you are clear to land,,,
{73654}{73693},,,at 180 degrees,
{73708}{73775}Jose Jimenez on approach,
{73836}{73896}My name, Jose Jimenez,
{73904}{74014}Yeah, Shepard, I forgot,|You are clear at 180 degrees,
{74022}{74110}Some boys here want to talk to you|about being an astronaut,
{74116}{74200}They want to make me an astronaut?|Oh, I hope not,
{74488}{74574}Are you sure the Navys got good pilots?
{74606}{74704}They call them aviators in the Navy.|They say theyre better than pilots.
{74988}{75052}Gentlemen, Id like you|to meet Alan Shepard.
{75092}{75148}Id like you to meet Alan Shepard.
{75152}{75198}Just the man we came to see.
{75365}{75414}Youve heard about our project.
{75416}{75496}Were going up against the Russians.|Its got the highest....
{75504}{75532}Priority.
{75540}{75576}Its a hazardous...
{75588}{75660}...undertaking. In fact,|its extremely hazardous.
{75693}{75805}Its so hazardous that|if you decide not to volunteer...
{75810}{75874}...it will not be held against you|in any way.
{75882}{75925}-Sounds dangerous.|-It is.
{75952}{75988}Count me in.
{76071}{76140}Theres nothing to worry about.|Absolutely nothing.
{76332}{76389}Why are you doing this to me?
{76404}{76484}Im afraid theres no simple way|to explain that to you.
{77049}{77101}Thank you, Number 21.
{77409}{77469}Number 22, please.
{77511}{77551}Youre gonna love it.
{77762}{77810}Excuse me, are you John Glenn?
{77856}{77892}Scott Carpenter.
{77909}{77977}I recognize you from those TV shows.|I like them.
{77981}{78027}I had a good time doing them.
{78029}{78101}I guess were both here|for the same reason.
{78149}{78201}You know what theyve got planned?
{78212}{78254}No. Let me check it out.
{78263}{78309}What have you got scheduled?
{78312}{78387}Were not really free|to reveal all the testing.
{78493}{78524}I dont get this.
{78526}{78599}Sending us down here|disguised as civilians.
{78605}{78669}Come on, Gus, cut it out. What the hell...?
{78671}{78751}Hot Dog, this entire operations|supposed to be hush-hush.
{78768}{78880}We got top-secret orders to blend in|with the patients. So shut up.
{78950}{79002}There might be Russian agents here.
{79085}{79145}They dont look very Russian to me, Gus.
{79159}{79227}All we got here is your local gentry, and...
{79248}{79338}...then you got Navy|and Marine pilots over here.
{79343}{79411}None of these guys is up|to Air Force standards.
{79430}{79526}I hear they got some 50-some guys|trying out for seven spots.
{79541}{79621}After they pick us three,|theres only gonna be four spots.
{79627}{79691}Sounds right to me. Where do we go next?
{79694}{79730}You go in that door.
{79837}{79870}Who are you?
{80030}{80100}My name, Jose Jimenez.
{80182}{80223}You talking to us, buddy?
{80246}{80336}All Air Force pilots go in that door.
{80368}{80406}When they all go in...
{80435}{80478}...they all look the same.
{80489}{80542}But when they all come out...
{80568}{80611}...they all look different.
{80628}{80655}Hows that?
{80703}{80746}Fellow, I said hows that?
{80783}{80828}When they all come out...
{80863}{80909}...they all look scared.
{81159}{81194}Buenos dias, Gonzalez.
{81231}{81269}Buenos dias yourself.
{81305}{81345}Would you come this way.
{81466}{81517}That guy didnt fool me a bit.
{81525}{81554}That Mexican guy?
{81561}{81641}That guys Navy all the way.|Theres another swabbo.
{81663}{81720}Ill open the box a little so you can see.
{81726}{81760}Dont put your fingers in there.
{81762}{81826}This thing will bite them off. Its vicious.
{81919}{81968}Real swabbo sense of humor.
{82034}{82109}Lets see what there is|to be scared about back here.
{82204}{82296}The ball must be maintained|in the position between these two lines.
{82324}{82363}You may begin...now.
{82374}{82422}The record is 91 seconds.
{84639}{84711}Ninety-three seconds. Read it and weep.
{85359}{85402}Terrific, Scott. Darn good!
{85404}{85465}You were probably just getting warmed up.
{85475}{85523}Next time I doubt Id win.
{85549}{85584}I dont know about that.
{85589}{85649}Were competing with Archie and Jughead.
{88492}{88550}Let me out of here! Let me out!
{89107}{89179}Gus, I got this whole thing figured out.
{89197}{89233}The drill here....
{89306}{89413}The drill here is to see who can drill|the brains out of Nurse Murch.
{89484}{89514}Youre nuts.
{89533}{89601}She thinks were all just|miserable pudknockers.
{89619}{89713}This is one fighter jock|who is not a miserable pudknocker.
{89721}{89813}Shes a woman,|susceptible to charms like all of the rest.
{89964}{90004}You want what in there?
{90011}{90037}Sperm.
{90087}{90113}What for?
{90125}{90178}Sperm motility factors.
{90217}{90272}Yeah, but, Nurse...
{90288}{90334}...how am I supposed to....
{90390}{90486}The best results seem to be obtained|through fantasization...
{90488}{90578}...accompanied by masturbation,|followed by ejaculation.
{90681}{90724}That sounds easy enough.
{90767}{90802}Ill tell you what.
{90812}{90912}If I get stuck, you mind coming in|and helping me out a little bit?
{91093}{91145}Please return it to the lab.
{91641}{91693}Hey, cut out the humming in there.
{92370}{92422}Okay, knock it off in there.
{92641}{92711}Okay, Glenn, I know thats you.
{92732}{92815}Just knock it off,|because Im trying to concentrate in here.
{93725}{93755}That was quick.
{94046}{94078}Here, hold this.
{94096}{94136}And hold this like this.
{94148}{94223}When the clamp is released,|the balloon inside you deflates.
{94225}{94265}Deflates? Wheres the john?
{94267}{94363}Two floors up. Gonzalez will take|you there, but wait here with him.
{94514}{94555}Hows it going, Gonzalez?
{95360}{95391}Faster!
{95727}{95764}Good day, Commander.
{95766}{95815}You prick!
{95933}{95965}Push the button.
{96844}{96956}Me and my friends think your|Jose Jimenez imitation is A-okay.
{96969}{97051}But what youre doing with it is b-a-d.
{97056}{97114}Youre right, youre absolutely right.
{97386}{97455}You ever have any explosions doing this?
{97468}{97516}All the time. Its a mess.
{97578}{97642}Tell me something else, Mr. Gonzalez.
{97684}{97721}How am I doing?
{97726}{97817}I think youre gonna make it.|I think youre gonna be an astronaut.
{98402}{98438}After a long,,,
{98466}{98530},,,and unprecedented|series of evaluations,,,
{98570}{98636},,,which told our medical scientists,,,
{98656}{98769},,,of their superb adaptability|to their upcoming flight,,,
{98813}{98877},,,it is my pleasure to introduce to you,,,
{98905}{98945},,,seven Americans,,,
{98969}{99005},,,gentlemen all,
{99053}{99117}Virgil I, Gus Grissom!
{99205}{99257}Leroy G, Cooper!

{99561}{99629}Alan B, Shepard, Junior!
{99645}{99721}Walter M, Schirra, Junior!
{99761}{99840}Americas Mercury astronauts!
{100185}{100221}Holy shit!
{100247}{100303}Smile, Gus. Were heroes.
{100370}{100411}Yeager ought to see this.
{100417}{100495}Seven rookies being installed|as the hottest fliers...
{100498}{100591}...and they havent done a thing|but show up for a press conference.
{100783}{100891}Following the distribution of the kits,|those ofyou who have p,m, deadlines,,,
{100899}{100947},,,better dash to your phones,
{100961}{101035}Now well have some questions|from the press, please,
{101111}{101182}Id like to know|whether your wives and children,,,
{101184}{101236},,,had anything to say about this,
{101413}{101451}Mine think its fine,
{101734}{101771}Theyre all for it,
{102047}{102134}I dont think any of us could go on|with something like this,,,
{102136}{102207},,,if we didnt have|pretty good backing at home,
{102343}{102414}My wifes attitude towards this|has been the same,,,
{102416}{102479},,,as its been all along through my flying,
{102488}{102565}If its what I want to do, shes behind it,
{102567}{102639}And, by golly, my kids are, too,|100 percent,
{102843}{102887}I dont believe this.
{102897}{102971}But look at them out there.|Theyre eating it up.
{103054}{103127}I was brought up believing|that you are placed on earth,,,
{103129}{103205},,,more or less with a 50-50 proposition,
{103231}{103279}This is what I still believe,
{103303}{103386}Were placed here with certain talents|and capabilities,,,
{103388}{103490},,,and its up to each one of us|to use those talents as best we can,
{103571}{103631}And if we use our talents properly,,,
{103656}{103751},,,I think there is a power|greater than us that will place,,,
{103754}{103807},,,the opportunities in our way,
{103965}{104034}When I think of Orville and Wilbur Wright,,,
{104037}{104100},,,standing on a hill|at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,,,
{104102}{104202},,,tossing a coin to see which one|would take the first airplane flight,,,
{104240}{104302},,,and then I think of us here today,,,
{104420}{104473},,,I thank God I live in a country,,,
{104475}{104554},,,where the best and finest in a man|can be brought out,
{104871}{104964}Id like to second some of the things|Mr, Glenn has said here,
{104993}{105093}I think that we are all very,|very fortunate,,,
{105119}{105191},,,that we have been,|should we say, blessed,,,
{105199}{105263},,,with the talents for something like this,
{105273}{105369}And I think that we would be most remiss|in our duty indeed,,,
{105380}{105471},,,if we did not volunteer|for something as important as this is,,,
{105479}{105515},,,for our country,,,
{105521}{105582},,,and to the world in general right now,
{105687}{105730}One of our Air Force boys.
{105779}{105819}Dont you agree, Deke?
{105851}{105899}I absolutely agree with Gordo,
{105913}{105967}But were not saying anything new,
{105978}{106039}Werejust saying the same things,,,
{106041}{106144},,,that need to be said again|and again with fierce conviction,
{106348}{106422}Can you tell us if any of you|go to church regularly?
{106455}{106504}As far as church goes,,,
{106526}{106564},,,I attend regularly,
{106667}{106731}Which one of you will be|the first into space?
{107154}{107206}The best will be first,
{107645}{107679}Share it, brother.
{107728}{107767}Fucking A, bubba.
{107839}{107903}This is for Americas Life magazine.
{108066}{108114}Im going to the Cape tomorrow.
{108190}{108254}I wish to heck it wasnt off-limits to wives.
{108300}{108374}Theres so much work to do, anyway.|More tests...
{108399}{108428}...training...
{108430}{108458}...studying.
{108646}{108698}What about after?
{108762}{108805}After hours Ill run a lot.
{108816}{108876}Im going to get up to five miles a day.
{108882}{108946}Theres a beautiful, long beach there.
{108960}{109002}Its called Cocoa Beach.
{109034}{109070}You can run forever.
{109122}{109173}Scott Carpenter will run with me.
{109186}{109221}Hes a good guy.
{109242}{109282}Hes real philosophical.
{109374}{109406}What about...?
{109470}{109582}The others want to get the job done and|keep the Mickey Mouse to a minimum.
{109653}{109690}Theyre good men.
{109733}{109762}Good men.
{109790}{109854}Theyll give 100 percent|when the time comes.
{109998}{110050}Guess they think Im kind of a...
{110095}{110134}...gung-ho type.
{110179}{110214}"Eddie Attaboy."
{110261}{110297}"Harry Hairshirt."
{110389}{110421}What, you agree?
{110496}{110524}You agree?
{110528}{110559}My own wife.
{110603}{110655}Do you think Im a "Dudley Doright"?
{110756}{110793}Thats me, I guess.
{110818}{110867}A lonely beacon of restraint...
{110869}{110937}...and self-sacrifice|in a squall of car-crazies.
{111277}{111365}Its important to America|to get a man up there first.
{111462}{111527}I plan to be the first man|to ride the rocket.
{115656}{115732}What is the most important thing|in rocket travel?
{115737}{115802}To me the most important thing,,,
{115824}{115860},,,is the blast-off,
{115880}{115939}I always take a blast before I take off,
{115992}{116042}Otherwise I wouldnt go near it,
{116221}{116260}He loves Ed Sullivan.
{117004}{117068}Four down, three to go.
{118015}{118094}I dont want anything to put this program|in a bad light.
{118116}{118220}We have the opportunity of a lifetime|and Im sorry, but I wont stand by...
{118222}{118296}...and let other people compromise|the whole darned thing!
{118298}{118388}You know and I know this could lead|to something very unfortunate.
{118396}{118470}Im talking about the playing around|thats going on.
{118480}{118536}Im talking about the young girls.
{118542}{118583}Im talking about the cookies.
{118585}{118662}Im talking about keeping our pants zipped|and our wicks dry.
{118664}{118725}Mr. Glenn, you are way out of line.
{118741}{118855}I advise you not to try to foist your|moral views on anyone else in this group.
{118862}{118917}Each man here has volunteered to do a job.
{118919}{118990}Each man is devoting long hours|of training...
{118992}{119070}...and doing many things above|and beyond the call of duty...
{119072}{119122}...such as morale tours of factories--
{119124}{119174}Such as bringing girls up to your room?
{119176}{119237}And forgoing any orderly family life.
{119239}{119310}Mr. Glenn, as long|as a man uses good sense...
{119312}{119382}...what he does with his wick|is his own business!
{119416}{119482}Im from Life magazine.|Im not with these people.
{119484}{119561}You cant go in.|Theyre discussing scientific problems.
{119666}{119743}Johns right. Whether we like it or not|were public figures.
{119745}{119810}Whether we deserve it or not,|people look up to us.
{119812}{119868}We have a tremendous responsibility.
{119870}{119946}You cant tell a pilot what to do|when hes not flying.
{120068}{120118}Wait a minute. You got it all wrong.
{120120}{120164}The issue here aint pussy.
{120175}{120216}The issue here is monkey.
{120262}{120310}Us. We are the monkey.
{120375}{120443}What Gus is saying is|that were missing the point.
{120445}{120546}Gus is saying that we all heard rumors|they want to send a monkey up first.
{120552}{120634}None of us wants them to send|a monkey up to do a mans work.
{120636}{120678}What Gus is saying is that...
{120680}{120777}...what theyre trying to do to us|is send a man up to do a monkeys work.
{120779}{120848}Us. A bunch of|college-trained chimpanzees.
{120856}{120943}What Gus is saying is that|weve got to change things around here.
{120948}{120997}Hes saying that we are pilots.
{121014}{121092}We know more about what we need|to fly than anybody else.
{121095}{121154}So what we have to do|is alter the experiment.
{121165}{121257}It comes down to who is going|to control this thing from here on.
{121259}{121351}What Gus is saying here is|that weve got to stick together on this.
{122147}{122188}Take it easy with that.
{122393}{122459}-Where are you putting the window?|-Window?
{122469}{122497}There is no window.
{122499}{122527}No window?
{122560}{122598}What about the hatch?
{122637}{122709}We need a hatch with explosive bolts,|that we can open ourselves.
{122711}{122771}Theres something you dont understand.
{122773}{122831}This is the final form of the capsule.
{122835}{122863}No hatch.
{122867}{122940}What would happen|if the automatic controls went out?
{122942}{123018}With backups, checks,|this would not happen.
{123024}{123083}I said, what would happen if it did?
{123086}{123127}The pilot would have to fly it back.
{123129}{123173}This is the way it is.
{123202}{123280}I wonder how the press will feel about this.
{123282}{123362}The press? What does the press|have to say about this?
{123394}{123478}Do you boys know|what makes this bird go up?
{123496}{123553}Funding makes this bird go up.
{123557}{123606}Thats right. No bucks...
{123630}{123664}...no Buck Rogers.
{123670}{123731}And the press over there....
{123915}{123964}They all want to see Buck Rogers.
{123966}{123997}And thats us.
{124017}{124046}Buck Rogers.
{124057}{124134}You see, those fellows over there|have been making us out...
{124136}{124214}...as the seven finest and bravest pilots|in all America.
{124237}{124300}If the story would come out in the press...
{124328}{124387}...that we are not allowed to fly as pilots....
{124389}{124425}We want a window.
{124505}{124553}There could maybe be...
{124558}{124633}...in future capsules a window...
{124666}{124697}...here.
{124706}{124775}No, thats where the hatch|with explosive bolts goes.
{124777}{124826}The hatch with the explosive--
{124910}{124992}There could be a hatch|with explosive bolts on the capsule.
{124996}{125044}That is a spacecraft, sir.
{125066}{125122}We do not refer to it as a "capsule."
{125178}{125210}Spacecraft.
{125278}{125336}A hatch with explosive bolts on the...
{125350}{125382}...spacecraft.
{125453}{125542}And there will be pitch and yaw thrusters|to enable the occupant--
{125544}{125570}The pilot.
{125620}{125655}Astronaut-pilot?
{125736}{125768}The astronaut...
{125794}{125822}...pilot...
{125866}{125900}...to have some...
{125916}{125946}...to have...
{126026}{126055}...control...
{126112}{126160}...of the re-entry procedures.
{126279}{126313}We appreciate it.
{126318}{126420}You wouldnt mind if we had the press|take a few photos of us, would you?
{127226}{127326}Which one of you is going to be|the first one to be launched into space?
{128202}{128239}Here he is.
{128254}{128299}Captain Ham.
{128347}{128411}Grinning like a possum|eating a sweet potato.
{128475}{128566}Does he look like the kind of guy|whod put doo-doo in the capsule?
{128596}{128618}Ham in a can.
{128627}{128670}Theyve got a man up there. Its Gagarin.
{128672}{128707}We know. Sit down.
{129559}{129606}All right, give them a break.
{129728}{129801}Is it true you were ready to go|and the flight was cancelled?
{129803}{129857}Is it true we couldve beaten the Russians?
{129859}{129935}Why didnt we send a man up|instead of a monkey?
{129975}{130016}I think we ought to be...
{130023}{130099}...forthright, gracious,|and magnanimous and say...
{130107}{130167}...the Russians beat the pants off us.
{130173}{130219}No sense in kidding ourselves about it.
{130221}{130297}But the space age has begun,|and theres plenty of work.
{130299}{130353}Who will be the second man in space?
{130375}{130455}You mean who will be|the first free man into space?
{130480}{130537}We know itll be Glenn. Just tell us when.
{130539}{130566}Thats a secret.
{130603}{130683}Im tired of being "forthright,|gracious, and magnanimous."
{130693}{130759}Im tired of stupid questions|from the press.
{130769}{130841}Im tired of smocks,|of engineers telling us what we cant do.
{130843}{130905}Im tired of everybody saying|we are not pilots.
{130907}{130947}Im tired of monkeys.
{130954}{131034}Most of all, Im sick and tired|of being second to those...
{131050}{131114}...those darned Russians. Its time we--
{131117}{131154}Got someone up there!
{131206}{131230}Fucking A, bubba.
{131242}{131280}-Exactly.|-Lets talk to them.
{131282}{131321}Lets get this thing on the road.
{131323}{131369}Im tired of messing around.
{131393}{131465}Well just tell em were ready.|Were ready to go.
{132355}{132459}In these three weeks since the Russian|Gagarins flight surprised everybody,,,
{132463}{132524},,,one wretched event|has followed another,
{132527}{132596}People have begun to say|our rockets always blow up,,,
{132598}{132650},,,our boys always botch it,
{132652}{132779}Some say this is not the time to try|desperate deeds to beat the Soviets,
{132784}{132815}The question really is:
{132817}{132895}Are we actually ready|to launch a man into space?
{132900}{132992}And yet out here at this very moment|sits a rocket, waiting in the night,
{132994}{133074}Soon, one American astronaut|will climb atop that rocket,,,
{133076}{133166},,,in what may be the greatest|death-defying stunt ever broadcast,
{133249}{133329}The identity ofAmericas first astronaut|has been kept a secret,,,
{133331}{133380},,,until almost the final moment,
{133382}{133468}The question everyone has asked is:|Which one will be first?
{135691}{135729}Not very funny, John.
{135787}{135839}But I do appreciate it, John.
{135851}{135891}I surely do.
{135951}{136003}Vaya con Dios, Jose,
{136239}{136311}Dear Lord, please dont let me fuck up.
{136319}{136384}I didnt quite copy that. Say again, please.
{136438}{136487}I said, everythings A-okay.
{136496}{136555}Well, thats what I thought you said.
{136583}{136648}He said everything is A-okay.
{136672}{136763}He says everything is A-okay,|And there you have it,
{136999}{137075}Roger. Auto retro-jettison switch.
{137129}{137178}Retro-heater switch...off.
{137223}{137271}Retro-heater switch...off.
{137285}{137343}Landing-bag switch,,,auto,
{137372}{137457}Roger, Landing-bag switch,,,auto,
{137486}{137554}This is it, ladies. This is for Life magazine.
{137643}{137716}My God! Theyre going|after the diaper-service man.
{137892}{137947}We dont have a diaper-service man.
{138045}{138083}Oh, Louise, your lawn!
{138231}{138265}Why are they here?
{138268}{138303}What do they want?
{138305}{138373}We are here live at the house|of Louise Shepard...
{138375}{138461}...wife of Astronaut Al Shepard,|who is about to go into space.
{138599}{138656}Wanted to keep you informed,|Mrs, Shepard,
{138658}{138719}Everythings A-okay,|Nothing to worry about,
{138721}{138749}Just some delays,
{138759}{138803}What kind of delays?
{138814}{138882}Theres another hold from NASA,|another delay,
{138890}{138962}And Alan Shepard sits there|patiently waiting,
{138970}{139046}What can be going through|a mans mind at this moment?
{139262}{139297}I have to urinate.
{139299}{139327}Urinate?
{139378}{139439}Urinate? No. We did not think of that.
{139442}{139498}This is only a 15-minute flight.
{139502}{139554}The mans been up there for hours.
{139558}{139597}Could he do it in his suit?
{139599}{139663}It might be dangerous.|To introduce liquid...
{139667}{139762}...into the pure oxygen of the capsule|and the pressure suit...
{139768}{139842}...might cause a short circuit.|It could start a fire.
{139846}{139886}No. Tell him he cannot.
{139990}{140090}Listen, old buddy, they promise|well stop at the next gas station.
{140102}{140190}Request that you remain|in a holding pattern till then,
{140462}{140535}-You sure you just want a little smidgen?|-About a half a cup.
{140537}{140587}-And nothing in it?|-Thats fine.
{140590}{140616}All right.
{140665}{140755}Alan had four cups of coffee|before he went to work this morning.
{140927}{140987}All this waiting is driving me crazy.
{141071}{141111}I had a little accident.
{141555}{141615}Request permission to relieve bladder.
{141859}{141917}Look, the man has got to go.
{141965}{142049}Its either that or we get the lug wrench|and pry him out.
{142081}{142117}Do it in the suit.
{142241}{142292}Jose, permission granted...
{142294}{142349},,,to wet your diapers anytime, son,
{142645}{142725}Suit thermometer says|Freon flow jumping from 30 to 45.
{142734}{142781}Left lower-chest sensor.
{142889}{142941}No shortout. Moving up back.
{143041}{143067}Well....
{143079}{143117}Im a wetback now.
{143177}{143227}It is questionable if we can proceed.
{143229}{143337}Im cooler than you are. Why dont you|fix your problems and light this candle!
{143345}{143405}Hes right! Lets light this candle!
{143409}{143461}He surely is! Light the candle!
{143494}{143532}Resume the countdown.
{143733}{143767}T minus ten seconds,,,
{143769}{143836},,,nine, eight, seven,,,,
{144023}{144049}Ignition.
{144253}{144296}Youre on your way, Jose,
{144311}{144376}We have liftoff, and the clock is operating.
{144592}{144672}I think well be able to talk|to one of the astronaut wives,,,
{144674}{144728},,,if not to Louise Shepard herself,
{145340}{145451}He has re-entered the Earths atmosphere|and the g-forces should be building up,
{145453}{145508}Louise, hes coming down!
{145554}{145608}We almost missed this.
{145720}{145748}Eight.
{145780}{145816}Thats nine.
{145840}{145872}Im okay!
{147100}{147173}The Vice President,|who is Chairman of our Space Council,,,
{147175}{147240},,,and who bears great responsibilities|in this field,,,

{152035}{152117},,,needed for the future flights|that will actually orbit the Earth,
{152121}{152189}He will be re-entering the atmosphere now,
{153179}{153295}Liberty Bell 7, Liberty Bell 7,|this is Hunt Club 1, Over,

{154475}{154514}Say again, Liberty Bell,
{154516}{154574}Waiting for your okay to hook on,

{154743}{154807}Say again, Liberty Bell, We cant hear you,
{154811}{154847}I cant get it off.
{154918}{154975}Liberty Bell, say again,
{154979}{155041}This is Hunt Club 1, waiting for your okay,
{155209}{155239}What happened?
{155311}{155387}Its all right. Hes okay.|Go for the capsule.
{155395}{155435}Help, Im sinking!
{155469}{155533}Get the capsule. He can float in that suit.
{155631}{155681}We need the data in the capsule.
{155683}{155727}Throw down a line!
{155972}{156035}Help! Throw down the line!
{156111}{156151}Hey, Im sinking!
{156159}{156203}Forget the fucking capsule!
{156307}{156363}We cant pull it. Its full of water.
{156383}{156447}Hey! Help me over here!
{156592}{156621}Weve lost it!
{156623}{156658}Blow the cable!
{156707}{156763}The capsule was rocking around a bit.
{156771}{156875}There were no loose items. I dont see|how I could have hit that button.
{156915}{156977}I was just lying there, flat on my back...
{156979}{157015}...and it just blew.
{157327}{157383}Well, what do you think?
{157467}{157555}Explosive hatches have been|on jet fighters for ten years.
{157567}{157627}The things have been wrung inside out...
{157635}{157735}...subjected to trial by heat,|by water, by shaking, pounding.
{157748}{157867}We even drop them from a height|of 100 feet onto concrete...
{157891}{157979}...and not one of them|has ever "just blown."
{158195}{158272}Hey, look. They filled up the refrigerator.
{158343}{158377}Pretty good, huh?
{158405}{158433}Pretty good.
{158448}{158488}A full refrigerator!
{158525}{158591}I can see this afternoon|is shaping up just great!
{158601}{158663}And the rest of the day. Tomorrow, too!
{158681}{158741}What do they want me to do in here?
{158754}{158781}Cook?
{158811}{158871}Then risk my life and my kids...
{158873}{158968}...by dragging them across that highway|to the worst beach in Florida!
{158989}{159058}Oh, Gus, I wanted to eat|in the White House.
{159086}{159142}I wanted to talk to Jackie about...
{159180}{159209}...things.
{159251}{159335}Well, look, Ive got to go|to the Holiday Inn for some...
{159358}{159401}...beer call with the guys.
{159511}{159569}All those years of test flying...
{159595}{159693}...and all those times I waited|and all those times you werent there!
{159735}{159781}The military promised...
{159795}{159892}...and now they are welshing|on that damn compact.
{159917}{159981}Look, I am finally|"Mrs. Honorable Astronaut."
{159992}{160045}But they are treating me like Im...
{160089}{160149}...Honorable|"Mrs. Squirming Hatch Blower!"
{160153}{160197}I didnt do anything wrong!
{160205}{160317}The hatch just blew! It was a glitch!|It was a technical malfunction!
{160325}{160381}Why in hell wont anyone believe me?
{160545}{160585}I know that.
{160717}{160787}Gus, I mean are these the goodies?
{160825}{160883}Is this how the military pays off?
{161009}{161077}Oh, Gus, they owe you.
{161150}{161189}But they owe me, too.
{161224}{161257}They owe me.
{161279}{161341}They owe me, they owe me so much!
{162349}{162381}I love you.
{162469}{162572}We are here with Virgil I, Grissom|and his lovely wife, Betty,
{162604}{162668}Gus hasjust come back|from the second trip in space,
{162670}{162727}Betty, how do you feel about this trip?
{162733}{162773}Im so proud of him,
{162781}{162822}I think he was wonderful,
{162825}{162877}Were all proud of Gus Grissom,
{162881}{162957}Gus, how do you feel about the trip?|Was it a success?
{162965}{163005}It was A-okay,
{163068}{163146}My God. He lost his capsule|but hes keeping his story.
{163149}{163202}To recap yesterdays dramatic events,,,
{163209}{163279},,,here we see Americas|newest hero, Gus Grissom,
{163281}{163342}He is shouting to save the capsule first,
{163373}{163448}Pull that in flight test, its all over for him.
{163482}{163556}He screwed the pooch, partner.|Plain and simple.
{163570}{163643}Sometimes you get a pooch|that cant be screwed.
{163695}{163765}The Presidents got his own problems|with the Bay of Pigs.
{163767}{163822}He doesnt want|the astronauts image tarnished.
{163824}{163895}Nothing these guys do|is going to be called a failure.
{163897}{163942}These astronauts are our Davids,
{163944}{164044}You think the public would know theyre|just doing what monkeys have done.
{164135}{164228}You think a monkey knows hes sitting|on a rocket that might explode?
{164255}{164308}These astronauts know that.
{164358}{164398}Ill tell you something.
{164412}{164484}It takes a special man to volunteer|for a suicide mission.
{164486}{164529}Especially when its on TV.
{164632}{164680}Old Gus, he did all right.
{164690}{164742}Though the capsule was lost,|our new hero,,,
{164744}{164788},,,Astronaut Gus Grissom, was saved,
{164975}{165007}What is it?
{165043}{165092}The Russians have sent Titov up,
{165095}{165123}Titovs up.
{165138}{165161}How long?
{165163}{165187}A day,
{165195}{165251}A day? A whole day?
{165255}{165315}Hes orbiting over our country right now,
{165336}{165395}We need a man in orbit or its all over,
{165403}{165477}Were scrapping the Redstone|and going with the Atlas,
{165482}{165524}You know what that means.
{165530}{165594}We havent had too much luck|with that rocket.
{165602}{165666}We cant take all the precautions wed like.
{165676}{165719}-Itll be dangerous,|-Were ready.
{165721}{165763}I said itll be dangerous.
{165765}{165825}I said were ready. 100 percent.
{166159}{166255}Inside this trim,|modest suburban home is Annie Glenn,,,
{166264}{166315},,,wife ofAstronaut John Glenn,,,
{166322}{166427},,,sharing the anxiety and pride|of the world at this tense moment,,,
{166437}{166532},,,but in a private and crucial way|that only she can understand,
{166696}{166776}The Vice President would like|to see Mrs. Glenn.
{166788}{166831}Hes asking for you again.
{166856}{166896}Tell them no.
{166912}{166960}Im sorry, she says no.
{166963}{167013}You dont understand. It is very important.
{167015}{167064}The Vice President must see her.
{167128}{167188}We are told after the missions success,,,
{167190}{167276},,,the Vice President will come here|and speak with Annie Glenn,
{167288}{167367}Meanwhile, John Glenn waits|for the weather to clear,,,
{167369}{167433},,,so he can undertake this historic mission,
{167446}{167496}You know what the Russians want?
{167558}{167624}They want our peckers in their pockets.
{167708}{167743}She still says no.
{167784}{167872}Didnt you tell her Ill bring in ABC-TV...
{167884}{167950}...NBC-TV, CBS-TV?
{167978}{168058}Her words, and mine,|will be heard by millions.
{168296}{168334}Where are they going?
{168385}{168434}I think the flights been cancelled.
{168436}{168466}Cancelled?
{168535}{168572}Thats perfect.
{168580}{168672}I will go in and console her|on nationwide TV.
{168700}{168748}Ill pay her a sympathy call.
{169436}{169535}The Vice President would like to make|a sympathy call if he could.
{169620}{169681}-No? What do you mean, "No"?|-I mean, "No."
{169692}{169744}What do you mean, "No"?
{169752}{169803}Somebody get NASA on the line.
{169807}{169908}Im going to lean on NASA.|Im going right to the top!
{169938}{169978}-To the top.|-Damn right!
{169988}{170051}They better tell her to play ball!
{170264}{170310}Theres a problem with your wife.
{170312}{170356}-Is it serious?|-We think it is.
{170358}{170421}Theres a phone hook-up,|weve got her on it.
{170628}{170681}Its me. Are you all right?
{170683}{170715}Whats wrong?
{170728}{170768}Johnson...
{170820}{170860},,,wants,,,me,,,
{170952}{171006}...on T...V.
{171015}{171046}The Vice President?
{171048}{171105}Tell her to let him in with the networks.
{171107}{171140}Its coverage.
{171248}{171287}Its important, John.
{171299}{171330}It means a lot.
{171475}{171504}Listen to me.
{171560}{171618}If you dont want the Vice President...
{171627}{171708}...or the networks,|or anyone else in our house, thats it!
{171719}{171787}As far as Im concerned,|they are not coming in!
{171789}{171870}And I will back you up 100 percent,|and you tell them that!
{171916}{172014}I dont want Johnson or the others|to even put a toe in our house.
{172176}{172282}You tell them that Astronaut John Glenn|told you to say that.
{172488}{172532}Ill talk to you soon.
{172668}{172702}You cant do that!
{172707}{172753}The Vice Presidents head of the program!
{172755}{172798}You must think of the program!
{172800}{172831}You are out of line!
{172833}{172883}-Im out of line?|-Yes, sir!
{172912}{172943}I run the show here.
{172945}{172986}Well see about that!
{172996}{173080}And Im thinking of changing|the order of flight assignments!
{173100}{173134}Who will you get?
{173140}{173188}You heard what he said.
{173323}{173363}Take it easy, fellows.
{173372}{173408}Step aside, pal.
{173696}{173728}Pilots!
{173812}{173860}Pansies! Cows!
{173924}{173960}Gladiolas!
{173968}{174061}Isnt there anybody|who can deal with a housewife?
{174747}{174811}Stand by for final ten-second count,
{176288}{176332}The clock is operating.
{176354}{176398}Were underway!
{176524}{176616}Good Lord, ride all the way,|Godspeed, John Glenn,
{178409}{178469}Zero-g, and I feel fine.
{178512}{178568}The capsule is turning around,
{178652}{178700}The view is tremendous!
{178705}{178811}I can see clear back,|a big cloud pattern, towards the Cape.
{178813}{178858}Its a beautiful sight!
{178868}{178975}Roger, Friendship 7.|You have a go, at least seven orbits.
{179084}{179158}Roger, Al, Understand,|go at least seven orbits,
{179160}{179200}This is Friendship 7,
{179827}{179911}Speed is 17,500 miles per hour...
{180108}{180164}...and were moving into night.
{180666}{180710}Full moon rising.
{180808}{180852}I can almost touch it.
{181224}{181292}Friendship 7, come in. Do you read?
{181379}{181426}Friendship 7, come in, please.
{181436}{181479}This sure was a short day,
{181488}{181529}Say again, please. Over.
{181536}{181600}That was the shortest day Ive run into.
{181612}{181660}Kind of passes rapidly, huh?
{181762}{181838}I can see some lights down there|in Australia, Gordo.
{181855}{181892}Where are they from?
{181900}{182002}All of Perth and Rockingham|have turned their lights on for you.
{182035}{182113}And we have a few other lights turned on,|here and there.
{182244}{182287}They show up very well.
{182301}{182369}Thank everybody for turning them on,|will you?
{182380}{182448}We sure will, John, We sure will,
{182856}{182900}Heading towards daybreak,
{183841}{183896}Lot of cloud coverage today.
{184082}{184124}Man, its beautiful.
{184488}{184536}Possibly its the heat shield.
{184544}{184572}Its loose.
{184638}{184670}If it comes off--
{184672}{184736}If the heat shield comes off, hell burn up.
{184763}{184815}Hell fry when he tries to re-enter.
{185177}{185217}Muchea, this is Cape,
{185238}{185282}Were showing some trouble,
{185286}{185363}Weve got a warning light,|Possibly a loose heat shield,
{185366}{185422}Check your status lights immediately,
{185878}{185913}Hes coming.
{185959}{185997}John, can you hear me?
{186056}{186104}Friendship 7, come in, please,
{186109}{186150}Try something. Anything.
{186154}{186186}Friendship 7, come in,
{186295}{186332}Hes going into his third orbit.
{186334}{186409}How much longer are you going|to keep him in the dark?
{186423}{186454}What do we tell him?
{186456}{186530}Hes a pilot.|Tell him the condition of his craft.
{186661}{186700}Glenn is in his third orbit,,,
{186710}{186776},,,and the flight is going|pretty much as planned,
{186782}{186815}No human individual,,,
{186817}{186878},,,has ever been so well prepared,
{186889}{186977}So far the key word|on this textbook flight is operational, 
{186980}{187022}Everything is A-okay,
{187073}{187144}We havent been too lucky|with the Atlas rocket,
{187146}{187233}Some say we havent taken all|the safety precautions wed like to?
{187235}{187264}Is this true?
{187266}{187309}No, its absolutely not true,
{187322}{187386}The only critical point is the re-entry.
{187397}{187465}If the capsule is not at the correct angle...
{187467}{187558}...with the blunt end and heat shield down,|it will burn up.
{187566}{187610}There is only one hope.
{187619}{187683}It might be possible to leave|the retro-rocket package...
{187685}{187738}...which covers the heat shield, on.
{187748}{187863}The straps may be strong enough|to hold the heat shield in place.
{187881}{187925}But if this fails....
{187964}{188040}John, youre going to|fly-by-wire for re-entry,
{188062}{188150}We recommend you do the best|you can to keep a zero angle, Over,
{188169}{188217}Re-entry only three orbits?
{188225}{188262}That is correct,
{188264}{188318}Do you have a reason for this?
{188325}{188408}Not at this time.|This is the judgement of Cape Flight.
{188506}{188586}Do you have a time for going|to jettison retro? Over.
{188646}{188718}We are not sure your landing bag|is deployed,
{188734}{188821}We feel it is possible to re-enter|with the retropackage on,
{188828}{188913}We see no difficulty at this time|with that type of re-entry.
{188915}{188950}Do you read?
{188971}{189002}Roger.
{189034}{189070}Understand.
{189102}{189194}Ill start lining up as carefully as I can|in a minute,
{189204}{189320}See whether scanners will pick up|and correct it for good retro-fire attitude,
{189341}{189369}If not...
{189386}{189434}...Ill correct it myself.
{189733}{189770}Were lined up,
{189793}{189826}Here we go,
{190754}{190794}Whats that sound?
{190801}{190838}Humming. Its him.
{190840}{190888}Its all right. He does that.
{192541}{192575}He cant hear you.
{192583}{192636}Hes hit the ionization blackout.
{192657}{192731}No communications are possible|for a few minutes.
{192796}{192833}Then well know.
{193057}{193121}Friendship 7, this is Cape. Do you read?
{193293}{193345}This is Cape, Do you read?
{193457}{193541}Friendship 7, this is Cape. Do you read?
{193551}{193644}Automatic systems are not functioning,|Hes in fly-by-wire--
{194789}{194827}Finally showed up.
{194838}{194893}The one with the big engine.
{194934}{195007}Boy, if wed only had|one of those a few years back.
{195036}{195140}The bad news is the entire programs|probably going to be scrapped.
{195166}{195259}From now on, the astronaut boys|in Houston have got the only ticket.
{195279}{195367}Barring, of course, some unforeseen event.
{195888}{195965}The Russians set a new record|of 1 14,000 feet...
{195967}{196016}...going straight off the ground.
{196018}{196083}Nobody cares about|that kind of record anymore.
{196100}{196175}All they want now|is capsules up in outer space.
{196251}{196351}I get a feeling this plane might be able|to beat that Russian record.
{196421}{196459}You might be right.
{197570}{197616}And here they come!
{197853}{197926}Looky here what I brought you!

{202286}{202355}Steak. All the trimmings.
{202400}{202447}Just like Panchos.

{203032}{203116}I got a free lunch from one end of America|to the other...
{203138}{203194}...and I aint even been up there yet.
{203248}{203274}I noticed that.
{203276}{203360}Oh, you noticed that?|You noticed I hadnt been up there yet?
{203427}{203486}Theyre saving the best for last.
{203534}{203598}Yeah, I guess so, Hot Dog. I guess so.
{203663}{203719}Just watch you dont screw the pooch.
{204189}{204299}Were talking to Gordon Cooper.|He will be the next to orbit the Earth.
{204351}{204467}Since youre the last of the original seven|and the least well known...
{204469}{204582}...could you begin by telling us|who was the best pilot you ever saw?
{204604}{204662}Who is the best pilot I ever saw?
{204839}{204902}Who is the best pilot I ever saw?
{205008}{205046}Ill tell you.
{205054}{205168}Ive seen a lot of them,|and most of them were pictures on a wall--
{205199}{205300}I said, "pictures on a wall,"|back at some place that...
{205353}{205404}...doesnt even exist anymore.
{205480}{205516}Some of them are...
{205519}{205567}...right here in this room.
{205607}{205651}And some of them are...
{205668}{205768}...theyre still out there somewhere,|doing what they always do.
{205771}{205852}Going up each day|in a hurtling piece of machinery...
{205855}{205923}...putting their hides out on the line...
{205933}{205991}...hanging it out over the edge...
{205996}{206087}...pushing back the outside|of that envelope and hauling it back.
{206137}{206175}But there was...
{206189}{206299}...one pilot I once saw who I think|truly did have the right--
{206301}{206375}How close did you ever come|to not hauling it back?
{206503}{206559}Who is the best pilot I ever saw?
{206567}{206619}Well, youre looking at him.
{207046}{207090}You got any Beemans?
{207127}{207169}I might have me a stick.
