And missiles and warheads.

So does mine.

Have you seen it yet,

the Thunderer?

It's the biggest one

in the world!

It's a six stage rocket.

It takes a satellite

with a hydrogen warhead

And the satellite will be

hundreds of miles up in the air,

And when it gets above

any city you want

All you gotta do

is press a button and bang.

Wow.

Gee.

Let's show it to them.

Yeah, come on.

There it is.

Wow!

Man!

Isn't it terrific?

Yeah, it sure is.

All right,

beat it, kids.

You know

you don't belong here.

Okay, okay.

I was only showing them

the Thunderer.

Come on, let's move.

All right.

Gentlemen, we've been charged

with a heavy responsibility

In this technological race.

We've all worked long and hard,

and it's paid off

With the development

of the new propellant

And other

extraordinary advances.

We have reason to be

proud of the Thunderer.

Because of this weapon

we're prepared 24 hours a day

To retaliate instantly

in case of enemy attack.

The Thunderer

is no stranger to you.

You've all worked on it

in one way or another.

You all know

what the Thunderer can do,

Send a satellite equipped

with a hydrogen warhead

Into the ocean of space,

where for years,

If you wish, it can circle

on a path known only to us.

A satellite containing

the means to bring retaliation

By the pressing of a button.

Here, throw it to me!

Catch it.

Hey, look up there!

Come on!

With pinpoint accuracy...

Let's just wait a minute,

gentlemen.

The lights will be

on in a minute.

Probably a fuse.

Check them, please.

There. That's better.

Sorry for the interruption,

gentlemen.

It's nice to know

we're no longer in the dark.

Getting back to the launching

of the Thunderer...

How's the fishing, Colonel?

Dr. Wahrman.

Any luck?

Ha, ha, not a bite.

Wonderful day.

The sky looks so innocent.

Doctor,

will we succeed tomorrow?

I see no reason

why not.

Hmm, how time flies.

Seems like yesterday

The first satellite orbited

through space.

Yes.

Now we launch my godchild.

I suppose people will get used

to the Thunderer,

Its implications.

Hey, Dad!

Hello, son.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Phyllis.

How's fishing, Dad?

Not very good.

Catch anything?

Probably the sniffles.

Water cold?

A little.

Come on, Phyllis,

let's get dressed, huh?

- See you, kids.

- So long.

Life's a wonderful thing,

doctor.

Let's hope

we can preserve it for them.

Hey, Bud! Ken!

Hey, watch it, kids, huh?

Come and get them

while they're hot, boys.

Plenty more

where these came from.

Oh, honey,

just put them on the table.

We're up to here with hot dogs.

Okay.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Well, at this

parent-teachers meeting

They put me on the spot.
