Subject: Re: Hi
So I started to talk and read very early and I also began to develop other skills very early. Through some process that I do not yet recall well enough to describe, I was allowed to secretly compete at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, and I won several gold medals. From that accomplishment, I was considered the best candidate to go out into space in the next decade, where 10 years is a very, very short time to have to consider that a plan had to be created and then carried out to travel into deep space and to carry enough nuclear weapons to divert a very large mountain of rock that was screaming towards Earth.
They could have trained older people to go out and carry out the mission but a factor about me was that I was still going to be young enough that, if I survived the actual mission, then there was going to be a good chance that I would be able to lead a normal life without being debilitated from living in the weightlessness of deep space for over a year.
Back in the early 1960's, there was hardly anything really known about space travel. The first American astronaut did not go into space until May 1961 and that was only for a few minutes. I was going to have to live and work in deep space for well over a year. Who could even begin to imagine the kinds of problems I would suffer from that kind of extreme environment.
So I became the candidate for the mission because I was the best choice. As I mentioned, I had already graduated from Princeton in 1969 with a medical degree. I started there on 9/2/1965, at the age of 6 years, and I started actually as an instructor of graduate students. I could already pass all the requirements from the medical degree but they decided that the basis for my graduation would be if I could teach a group of graduate students well enough that they could pass the tests

PALMER: Huh! It dissolves!
SCOTT: Are you saying we can use this sand to fix the scrubbers?
WALLACE: That would be convenient!
PALMER: No.
RUSH: Well, it's a fair indication that the components may exist nearby.
PALMER: For the sake of portability and efficiency, I'm hoping to find high concentration granular limestone.
(As she holds the flask up, Rush holds a small torch underneath to heat up the water.)
PALMER: We are looking for the dried lake bed or salt water body all this sand came from.
WALLACE: It's a desert!
PALMER: Lime is formed mostly from the remains of marine organisms.
WALLACE: Oh!

YOUNG: There's a rumour spreading that we're still here.
RUSH (smiling in delight down at his console): We are.
(The lights come on in the room.)
RUSH: Destiny needed all its power reserves to protect itself - and us.
(Eli looks nervously at his own console.)
WALLACE: Uh, guys?
(He activates a holographic screen showing Destiny's position in relation to the star.)
WALLACE: We're in the star.
YOUNG: That can't be right. You're talking thousands of degrees.
RUSH: Well, we've just flown through the corona

GATEROOM. Groaning, Sergeant Spencer regains consciousness on the Gateroom floor. Putting his hand to his bruised mouth, he gets up onto one elbow and looks around the room, then slowly hauls himself to his feet. He stares around the empty room again and stumbles away.
(He makes his way along the corridors and eventually follows the sound of voices. He finds a group of people sitting around a table playing cards.)
SPENCER: Where is everybody?
VOLKER: All the fun people are here!
(Spencer turns and walks away without a word. He moves on and finds another group. Some are sitting and others standing, and all have their heads lowered and are reciting the Lord's Prayer.)
GROUP (simultaneously): Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation ...

RUSH: This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system.
YOUNG: You're telling me it flew into the sun on purpose?
RUSH: Yes.
YOUNG: Why?
RUSH: To replenish its reserves.
YOUNG: You're telling me the ship ...
RUSH (interrupting): ... the ship is powered by the stars themselves.
