left.
- Hi. Can I take your case?
- No.
- Howdy, girl.
- Hello.
Keep that thing moving.
- How's it going?
- Everything's fine, Sarge.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!
Ted Striker.
Jack, I got a bad feeling
in my gut about this mission.
Number two checks.
What's happenin', bro?
Atmosphere control OK.
Atmosphere control... check.
- Antigravity check.
- All right.
- Checks out in positive mode, sir.
- Check.
- Checks out in negative mode, sir.
- Check.
Neutral balance seems all right, sir.
- Good. That should do it.
- Antigravity off, sir.
Hope this weather
doesn't give us a problem.
Mr Dunn, what's your
temperature reading?
98.6, sir.
That sounds normal.
Sweetheart, you should have gone
before we got on the plane.
Sir, you're in the wrong seat.
That's mine.
Elaine, wait. Listen to me.
Why can't you just
let me live my life?
It's not just your life.
It's everyone on board this ship!
We must stop this flight.
Ted, we're taking off.
Why don't you trust me any more?
You're not the man you were.
You shouldn't have left the hospital.
Please, take your seat.
Well, it looks like that
weather's starting to clear.
Satellite photos look clear
over Wyoming and Connecticut.
- We just heard from Detroit.
- What about Reno and Buffalo?
Clear, but check the New Jersey suburbs.
Mayflower 1 , you're clear on
two-niner to taxi to launch position.
Roger. Ready to taxi. Over.
"T" minus 30 seconds and counting...
Mark "T" minus 20 seconds.
Ignition.
"T" minus 9...
8... 7...
6... 5...
4... 3...
2... 1 ...
You have lift-off, Mayflower 1!
Acknowledge.
Roger, Control. This is Mayflower 1 -
acknowledge lift-off.
We'll be serving breakfast
in a few minutes.
- Will all of you be eating?
- Yes, thanks.
Jimmy, when you're finished, you can
come up front and see the cockpit.
Gee, that'll be neat.
I'm glad they let Scraps ride with us.
Scraps will love the moon.
Will things be much
different on the moon?
It'll be terrific - a whole
new world, new kids to play with...
So no more headlines
about the rape trial?
How many kids get a chance
to live on another planet?
No kids yelling, "Your old man's
a psychopathic sex pervert"?
So I made a mistake.
Anyway, she was asking for it.
They're all asking
for it all the time!
Dad never slaps me around
at home. It must be his coffee.
No. I've been serving Dad decaf.
Maybe he's just an asshole.
You know, dear? This reminds me of
the first train trip we ever took -
out to your mother's house, remember?
How could I forget?
You were so nervous
about meeting my mama.
And I declare, you were pacing the aisle
all the way from St Louis
to Sioux Falls.
And remember when
we hopped in the family car
and drove all the way to Woodstock?
That was a time.
And you got that bad acid and
didn't come down for two weeks.
You kept telling everyone
that you were Jesus Christ,
and then you jumped off a roof
'cause you thought you could fly.
- What a bummer.
- No shit.
You look a little green.
Are you all right, young man?
You know, some people
get airsick, but I never do.
I must have an iron constitution.
- I'm all right.
- Good.
I guess what's really
bothering me is my whole life.
I really can't figure where
Elaine and I went wrong.
You know what it's like when
two people share the same space.
Something happens.
Your vibes go out of synch.
I thought we shared a
very special kind of love.
I'm not sure I know
what love is any more.
I guess it all started at the trial.
They had to cover up for the crash,
so they made me the scapegoat.
I had no one to turn to.
I'm sure you've had
the same experience yourself.
I couldn't believe what
was happening to me.
I think it's important
we establish a few facts
so these people can
make a fair decision.
First, were you not the chief test
pilot for the lunar shuttle XR-2300?
Yes.
On the fifth of October this year,
that shuttle crash-landed.
Were you not the pilot
