Recording Script
RICHARD Such as non-stick teflon frying pans.
FRANK Well yes, but there are other much
more relevant examples - high
speed aircraft, for instance,
navigational equipment, thermal
clothing, all sorts of things.
RICHARD Nice to think that your up to date
skiing clothes were originally
designed for astronauts.
SUE Oh Richard, you are such a cynic.
FRANK Well, you guys can laugh, but /
bet
you by the year 2050, people will
actually be shooting off to Mars on
their holidays, to get away from it all!
SUE No thanks. Not me!
FRANK You think I'm joking, don't you? The
next great explorers of this world
will be the astronauts. People with
vision and courage to try and find
new territories. You think it's just
science fiction, but it isn't. It's real.
SUE Well I still think the government
would be better advised to target
some of the problems on this earth
before they go shooting off to Mars.
How can we possibly talk about
space travel when there is youth
unemployment, crime, poverty...?
That's where our energy should be
going .., into making sure that
people have a roof over their heads
and employment
because work gives
people a sense of self. No one wants
to be on the receiving end of charity
all the time.
RICHARD Here we go again. Lots
of fine ideals,
but...
SUE Richard, you have to have ideals.
Otherwise what's the point?
FRANK Yeah, I agree with Sue. I think she's
right.
RICHARD I don't know.
