00:41Now if these specifications sound familiar it's because, well, we've essentially removed the core from a nuclear missile and we
00:50want to put you in its place.
00:52Go! Go Johnny! Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:57Shepard! Shepard!
01:00Damn it!
01:05Alan Shepard. Lieutenant Commander. Very late.
01:10Now would we like to test the Mercury-Redstone system for years before risking a man's life?
01:15Yes. But are we afforded such a luxury with the Russians sneaking satellites through our backyard?
01:21We are not.
01:22Go, go! Go, Johnny! Go! Go! Go, Johnny! Go! Go, Johnny! Go!
01:31Oh, go, go, Johnny, go
01:34Oh, go, go, Johnny, go
01:39Go
01:41Johnny, go
01:56Now, you gentlemen are accustomed
01:59to testing dangerous, unproven aircraft,
02:02and yet, somehow, you've made it this far in one piece.
02:07Most of you have families.
02:09You have careers.
02:11You have lives.
02:12That could all come to an abrupt halt
02:14if you sign on to this endeavor.
02:17We want to take 32 of you to Lovelace Clinic
02:19for medical evaluations,
02:22but only seven of you will have what it takes.
02:25And those seven will be the Mercury astronauts.
02:28Now, we have a fantastic agency in the making,
02:32but to be frank,
02:34the Russians are sprinting around the track,
02:36and we are still at the starting block,
02:38tying our shoelaces.
02:39We need to work fast.
02:41We need to work smart.
02:44And we need the best.
02:46Our very way of life is at stake.
02:50The choice is yours, gentlemen.
02:53Sleep on it.
02:55Call your wives.
02:57Get word to Mr. Lunny by morning.
02:59And we'll be right back.
03:04Grazie a tutti.
