00:00If you want to save money, why don't you land the booster rockets instead of letting them drop in the ocean?
00:05That's a cute idea, but it's not technically possible.
00:08Why not?
00:09It's hard to explain. The math is pretty complicated.
00:12Perhaps I could help you with it.
00:14I'll bet you could. I'll tell you what, here is a NASA patch.
00:18Why don't you have your mom sew that on your book bag?
00:22People often wonder why I chose to pursue a career in theoretical physics.
00:27I wanted to prove this nincompoop wrong.
00:31Shelly, you haven't touched your dinner.
00:33I'm just thinking.
00:34About what, baby?
00:35The optimal height to width ratio for a reusable rocket.
00:38It's late. What are you doing up?
00:40I'm working on the hyperbolic calculations for a rocket return.
00:43Dad, can we afford a computer?
00:45You're doing my taxes. What do you think?
00:47Mr. Moonpie, how am I to help you?
00:49How much money are you planning to leave me when you die?
00:52I need to buy a computer so I can solve the Navier-Stokes equation.
00:55Uh-huh. How much is a computer?
00:58Apple has a nice one for $2,000, but the kind I need costs $3 million.
01:04I'm interested in taking out a second mortgage.
01:08I'm nine years old, why do you ask?
01:10That's called age discrimination, Dorothy, but I'm willing to let it slide.
01:14I need funds to buy a computer.
01:16Hello, Dorothy?
01:19Hey, how come you weren't in the math class?
01:22That guy from NASA treated me like a child, and I need to prove him wrong.
01:27Mom.
01:28What?
01:29There's something wrong I showed him again.
01:31I figured it out! I figured it out!
01:34One night. I want to sleep one night.
01:37And here, near Apogee, we nimble the engine to exert a torque
01:41that executes a pitch-over maneuver to flip the rocket by 180 degrees.
01:47Wow. That's very impressive.
01:49I thought you might want to apologize.
01:51Why?
01:52You tried to shut me up with a patch.
01:55I give those to everyone, and you have to understand, Sheldon,
01:58that while your math is theoretically correct,
02:02we don't have the technical capability to execute it.
02:05So I'm ahead of my time.
02:07It would appear so.
02:08All right, call me when you catch up.
02:10Okay.
