Industrialist: Now listen, fella, I've known you from way back. Two-engine planes weren't fast enough: you had to go in for four. Then props weren't fast enough: you had to go in for jets. Now you've got a hold of something else, something that'll go higher and faster than anything that ever existed before. You can't swing it alone, so you're trying to rope us in on it. Well, before we go along with you, you'll have to tell us: what's the payoff?
Jim Barnes: Dollars and cents? I don't know. I want to do this job because it's never been done. Because I don't know. It's research, it's pioneering. What's the Moon? Another North Pole -- another South Pole -- our only satellite, our nearest neighbor in the sky.
Industrialist: But why go there, Jim?
Jim Barnes: We'll know when we get there; we'll tell you when we get back. It's a venture that I don't want to be left out of.
