to Western civilization.

Afternoon tea.

May I press you to

a cucumber sandwich?

Thank you, no,

nothing at all.

The shuttle, is it made

entirely here in California?

No. I own a number

of subsidiaries

throughout the world,

producing components.

The conquest of space

represents an investment

in the future of the entire

human race, Mr. Bond.

It is, therefore,

logical to seek out

the best that each

nation has to offer.

Are you referring

to people or skills?

Both, Mr. Bond.

Am I too soon?

Not at all.

I'm sure Mr. Bond

is eager to start his tour.

Miss Dufour will escort you

to Dr. Goodhead

who will show you around.

Ask anything you like.

Thank you for being

so cooperative.

A pleasure.

Look after Mr. Bond.

See that some harm

comes to him.

You'll find Dr. Goodhead

first on the right.

Oh. Thank you for the ride.

Call on me

if you need anything.

(CLEARING THROAT)

Good afternoon.

Can I help you?

Yes. My name is Bond.

James Bond.

I'm looking for Dr. Goodhead.

You just found her.

A woman.

Your powers of observation

do you credit, Mr. Bond.

James, to my friends.

Holly Goodhead.

Are you training

to be an astronaut?

I'm fully trained.

On loan from NASA,

the Space Administration.

Well, Mr. Bond,

I guess we'd

better get started.

You don't want to lose time

as well as a space shuttle,

do you?

This is it,

the Moonraker.

Capable of being launched

into space by rocket...

Orbiting the Earth

and reentering

the atmosphere to land

like any conventional

aircraft.

GOODHEAD:
This is

the centrifuge training.

BOND:
It simulates

the gravity force you feel

when shot into space.

The speed is controlled by

the instructor from up there.

Why not try it?

Why not?

Strap yourself in firmly.

Yes, Doctor.

Now your arms.

That's to prevent you

from knocking yourself out.

BOND:
I see.

How fast does it go?

It can go up to 20 Gs,

but that would be fatal.

Three Gs is equivalent

to take-off pressure.

Most people

pass out at seven.

You make a great saleswoman.

You don't have to worry.

This is what we call

a "Chicken Switch. "

You just keep your

finger on that button,

the moment the pressure

gets too much for you,

release the button

and the power's cut off.

Just like that?

(SWITCH CLICKS)

Come on, Mr. Bond.

A 70-year-old

can take 3 Gs.

Well, the trouble is

there is never a 70-year-old

around when you need one.

GOODHEAD:
You want me?

Mr. Drax says

to telephone him.

All right,

I'll call him

from my office.

You go ahead.

I'll be right back.

The instructor will

supervise the session.

Enjoy yourself.

Yes. We're taking

good care of him.

I don't know what

could've happened.

Something must've
