of anything, doctor.

All I know is, is that this

sounds a lot like that junk

my kid watches on Saturday morning TV.

You know, you have a real problem, friend.

Forget it, pal, the guy's a jerk.

Look, why don't we all just take a break?

Relax!

Get some coffee.

Whatever you say.

Access granted.

Replay analysis.

Organic remains:

Prometheus crater.

Government contractors!

Okay, now, let me get this straight.

It looks like you're gonna tell Washington

that we rigged up some

kind of elaborate con job,

that this whole thing was a ploy

to pump up the budget?

My report'll have to speak for itself.

Well, Chuck, I guess we'll

have to file our own report.

For the president's advisory group.

It's beginning to look that way.

Now, that is going outside

of normal channels.

Well, we don't really wanna do that.

We'd rather talk to you.

So, talk.

We have to go back to the moon.

Oh, give me a break, Colonel!

Look, all the evidence points

to some ancient base there.

That's got to be important to us!

For the knowledge alone, if nothing else.

- A scientific investigation will show us--

- Yeah, yeah, right. Look...

Be realistic. It's been 20 years

since the last lunar mission.

Where're you gonna find

the hardware or the men...

- ...to do it?

- Wait a minute.

There's one complete set of Apollo unit

in mothballs down at the Cape.

And right here you've got

two seasoned astronauts,

who could be ready to go in a jiffy.

- Hell, I'm ready now!

- Hey, I don't know, Jason.

You've been out the intensive

training loop for a long time now.

Oh, bullshit, Chuck!

You know I can do it.

Well, maybe.

But we still need the funding.

I'm still listening.

Just think about it.

Think about how the president will react

when you tell him what we might find.

Great advances in space technology,

construction techniques,

life support systems, even weaponry.

- Oh, I doubt there would be any weapons.

- Why not?

Look, you're trying to suck me in, Grant.

I'm just trying to show you

what might be waiting for us.

Or for somebody else.

Of course you guys know

that the Soviets are supposed

to attempt a lunar landing

within the next two years.

Look, you can't stampede

the president with that kind of talk.

It's just a thought.

Still, it is a concern.

Security. Sergeant Peters.

Get a team up to the isolation room.

On the double! The body is missing!

All right, sit tight.

So, what do you think?

I think we got him.
