1
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:11,830
i am inspired every day

2
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,320
by the achievements of humankind in the

3
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:18,480
exploration of

4
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:25,189
it's humanity that makes it all happen

5
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:26,480
without the

6
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:30,320
intellect and the genius of innumerable

7
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:32,079
people

8
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:34,880
these accomplishments would never have

9
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,520
taken place

10
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:39,760
that's another thing that absolutely

11
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:41,680
fascinates me is the fact that we are

12
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:44,800
only at the beginning of

13
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:48,640
of a future that is uh full of

14
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:51,280
possibilities that we can only vaguely

15
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,320
imagine

16
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:54,079
my gosh what

17
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:57,840
what will evolve in the next century in

18
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:58,960
this

19
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,399
drama of

20
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,160
aviation and

21
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,159
flight

22
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:06,159
most of my work comes out optimistically

23
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,240
and i guess that's my very spirit my

24
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:10,240
attitude about the future about the

25
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:14,080
world around me the joy of living

26
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:15,280
and um

27
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,960
of seeing

28
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:19,600
because we're surrounded with wonders

29
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:22,240
and most of them are natural

30
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:31,670
the future looks brilliant to me

31
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:34,720
filled with great opportunity

32
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:37,920
and wonders beyond our

33
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:41,280
feeble imaginations to even comprehend

34
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:44,079
perhaps at this time

35
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,280
this attempt to anticipate the future

36
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,200
in my paintings

37
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:51,680
to paint floating cities for example

38
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,079
gravity-free

39
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:55,920
and the more real it can be the more

40
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,719
convincing it can be that the viewer

41
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,880
who says wow that might really happen

42
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:02,159
someday

43
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:05,200
and um so i'm a realist

44
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,759
in the manner in which i execute the

45
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:10,319
subject matter that i deal with

46
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,440
but that subject matter may be

47
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:15,280
viewing

48
00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:17,040
designing a city of the future

49
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:24,070
my wife louise she has always been an

50
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,680
advocate and a supporter and

51
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:29,520
she always thought i was better than i

52
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,560
was

53
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,800
i recognize her brilliance too and her

54
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:35,040
genius and she's marvelous

55
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,560
and she paints with such brilliant color

56
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,959
pure color

57
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:43,040
and she has

58
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,640
influenced me

59
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:45,599
in

60
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,920
i would hope that my legacy would be

61
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:53,120
that i

62
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:54,480
with

63
00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:57,200
energy and

64
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:05,030
uh but i was successful in

65
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,480
uh

66
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,720
documenting a very

67
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,319
significant

68
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,800
part of the history the early history of

69
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,720
our space program

70
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:15,840
that

71
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:19,040
what i did had value

72
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,720
that it covered

73
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,959
some aspects of that

74
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,879
fabulous enterprise

75
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:27,280
in in a in a little bit different way

76
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:29,120
than some others had

77
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,480
i hope that

78
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,200
i'm regarded also

79
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:34,799
as a

80
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:36,640
significant artist

81
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:37,680
painter

82
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:40,400
i think bottom line what i want to do in

83
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,159
my life is paint good pictures

84
00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:46,959
that have that quality about them that

85
00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:48,319
uh

86
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,239
allows them to be

87
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:53,200
categorized as good art

88
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:57,280
and uh i hope that um somehow

89
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,000
uh these things come to pass that

90
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,480
we're all looking for a little bit of

91
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,560
immortality aren't we

92
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,560
and with the full knowledge that it

93
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:08,400
doesn't last long

94
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:11,920
that immortality that we strive for

95
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,519
but perhaps it can last um

96
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,079
a century or two

97
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,479
but we're living in a continuum that has

98
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,919
no end

99
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:23,680
we all know that

100
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:27,040
this universe is magical and beautiful

101
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,400
and
