A group of people in futuristic white uniforms stand in a circular interior space while discussing whether to launch a projectile to the moon. One person urges immediate departure, fearing they will regret inaction for the rest of their lives.
“Suppose the gun was fired now. Would the cylinder reach the moon? It would miss and fly into outer space.” 84:13 · “Oh, I don't know what to say, but don't go, don't go. But, Father, we must go now or we may never go. And then for the rest of our lives, we'll feel we've shirked and lived in vain.” 84:24 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
