Exploding Sun

Authorities in Australia report that

the solar storm electromagnetic

pulse overloaded power stations

all along Australia's eastern coast.

Though the storm occurerd some

hours after sundown local time,

the high energy burst

was apparently diverted

around the curvature of the earth

to strike Sydney after dark.

The young woman was killed instantly.

Call an ambulance!

Now the intensity and

effect of this solar storm

is reminisant of

the geomagnetic storm

that was a result of a cordal

mass eject on March 9th 1989,

that knocked out power in the

Canadian province of Quebec.

That storm originated on earth

with extremely intense aurora's

at both poles that were visible as

Really? -Uh huh

Well I know we're going through

a peak in the solar cycle,

but it generated a storm.

Does this change anything

for the flight tomorrow?

I don't think so.

Hum

Go home.

Go to sleep. I need you tomorrow.

You're on launch diagnostic systems

and fuel disbursement back ups.

I need you.

When you talk like that,

it really turns me on.

So come on, let's just go back to your

place and order some Chinese.

We just take.

Fine, let's just go back to your

place and do more tech talk

Denise.

I know, I'm too young,

I could get hurt, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Listen. I told you when

we started working together,

you don't want to

hang out with me. Ok.

You remember that.

Ya. I thought you were

just being mysterious.

How was I supposed to know

you were incapable of lying?

I told you that, too.

Yes. You did. You told me that. Yes.

Do you know

that biologically that two people

can tell a lot from each other

by the transfer of genetic information

that occurs from kissing.

It's a miracle of Darwinian selection.

What's my DNA telling you right now?

That uh, one day I'm going to get to you

and when I do you're going

to be in big trouble.

Ok. Won't be the first time

a kiss got me in trouble.

Thanks

Whoa. Slow down. Don't you

think we're moving a little fast?

No, and now kiss me.

No. Hey it's only been our third date.

You want a fourth one? Kiss me.

We don't have a lot of time.

Uh, until what?

What the hell!

Tempo is recovered.

Returning to castle.

Tempo? I thought you told me

your name was Lara Smith?

Miss Mathany, please come with us.

Mathany? Lara Mathany?

I've been dating

the president's daughter?

Ugh! Ugh!

Awsome!

Making out with some boy

in the back seat of car.

Really?

Nothing happened.

Hey, you just slipped your secrect

service detail and you just ran off.

do you even realize

the risk you put yourself at?

I was being discrete.

You're the president's daughter.

You're held to a higher standard.

I didn't ask for any of that.

I want a normal life.

Well you can have one in a year.

Five if I'm re-elected.

We'll talk about your

behaviour when I get back.

Wish me luck.

Ya. Good luck on your publicity stunt.

Hey! Hey!

It's ok. Just leave her.

Were you like that at sixteen?

Worse. You're sure

this is going to be safe?

Roebling's a genious.

He's poached the best minds from NASA.

This program better funded

than any other government agency.

I'd go in a second if I could.

I know.

Well, I'll see you Thursday.

I don't think I hold you enough.

so hold me now.

Well I am really excited for you and,

no I really am.

Ya, no I am. Really, ya.

Ya, I think he's just trying to

make up for the G force test

he put me through.

Well I think that's what you get

when you're the oldest

member of the group, right?

does your back still hurt?

Uh, now it's my shoulder.

Um, one second. Can you wait? Paul?

Ya?

Can you just, um,

take care of theswe guys?

Sure. Ya.

You know, um, if you think it's too

much for you, you could pull out.

No way. We both know

what the camp runs on.

Food, used clothing donations.

Publicity.

And this little trip of mine

is going to raise awareness

for our work to new heights.

Litterally.

Just come back soon,

prefereably in one piece. Hmm.

Did you hear from JJ?

No. No, I thought he'd at

least call and wish me luck.

Wow.

Mr. Elias?

I gotta go. I'll call when I'm back.

OK.

Good morning everyone.

Morning

My name is Peter Roebling,

and I want to welcome you to

this the most exciting day of,

well the most exciting

day of all our lives.

Today marks the beginning of

a new era in civillian space flight.

No longer will man flights belong

excluslively to governments

or special interests.

As of today,

space belongs to the people.

Ya!

Now I would like to

introduce Dr. Craig Bakus,

formerly a senior engineer with NASA

but now Roebling Spaceport's

designer and head engineer.

He's going to talk

you through today's flight.

Thank you Peter and thank you all

for coming out today

and good morning.

The Roebling Clipper is without a doubt

the most advanced

civillian aircraft ever built.

It's designed to take off and fly

just like a regular airplane

but also to be able to leave and

re enter the earth's atmosphere.

Taking off from our

runway just outside here

command pilot Fiona Henslaw.

Let's give her a hand. Thank you.

she'll take the Clipper up to

an altitude of 50,000 feet.

And from there she'll fire a rocket,

that will take her and the Clipper up to

seventy miles above the earth's surface.

Hey, Jeff Gustas, WLDQ Network.

Hi Jeff.

Craig, is this the scalar drive

we've been hearing about?
