we are not the only ones who know
that the moon can be reached.
We are not the only ones
planning to go there.
The race is on!
And we'd better win it because...
there is absolutely no way to stop
The first country that can use the moon
for the launching of missiles...
will control the Earth!
That gentlemen, is the most important
military fact of this century!
Gentlemen!
I see no need for further discussion!
It's our job!
Well, all I got to say is we better
build it in Texas.
It's the only state big enough
to hold it!
If you can increase the initial velocity
only 600ths of a mile per second...
you can make the trip in
2 days instead of four.
We'll have to compute what that
means in reaction mass.
This is a case where pounds of ship
costs many pounds of reaction mass.
Try titanium!
That's exactly right as far as
appearance goes.
All that remains now is to test it.
It goes for it's atmosphere chamber
test this afternoon.
I've added one detail, Charles.
What is that for?
The chaffing suits we wear over our
pressure suits are in different colors.
Why?
- For identification.
We'll use these 4 colors for the 4 crew
members then nobody can get lost.
These bright colors
will give us high visibility.
Your right if no one minds looking like
a carnival balloon!
Hey, Brownie!
What do you want?
Have you taken a look down from here?
No, I never liked high places. Why?
You're halfway to the moon already!
It's the other half that's tough!
- I wouldn't worry about that!
How come?
Who are you kidding? This thing
is as close to the moon as it'll get!
I never felt so silly in my life as I
have since you sent for me!
You show me all your nice plans for
instruments to navigate to the moon.
I help you build them.
We install them.
You teach me how they work
and I understand how they work.
how the ship works!
the Washington Monument!
You could stick an atom bomb under it
and it wouldn't go!
What's the matter, Brownie?
It's nothing. Just a bellyache.
I haven't been able to eat anything.
I tried to get you before you left
Washington. - Is anything wrong?
It's not the engine, is it?
Have you tested it?
Not yet and it doesn't look like
we're going to.
"I'm directed to inform you that your
petition to test an atomic engine...
is regretfully denied."
Denied?
"It is our opinion that a danger exists
should the engine fail structurally."
"There is a possibility of dispersal of
radioactive materials."
