[ a sweeping gesture as they move through the hallways ] well, all of this— it's because the functionality of a vehicle that can make it past the atmosphere of the Earth is beyond the technology of the time and place I come from. It's the stuff of my dreams and goals— and it's a little difficult to believe that I haven't gone completely mad.
