Secondly, asks FH to sound out his friends in California about making 'a serious technologically accurate film', which would not only entertain, but also demonstrate the 'extraordinary amount of knowledge now at the disposal of astronomers'. Now that all of the earth is 'pretty well known', space is the 'great new area of discovery'. Asks FH to create enthusiasm for the project amongst is friends.
