00:00In 1977, Voyager 2 was launched into space to the outermost regions of the universe.
00:10It carried an invitation in all languages for alien lifeforms to visit our planet.
00:17Someone, somewhere, listened and accepted our invitation.
00:23Get ready, someone is coming.
00:33Someone like no one she has ever known before.
00:35Can you clone a living organism from the hair of a dead man?
00:38We're hypothesizing a technology that's probably 100,000 years ahead of us.
00:43He has powers we cannot imagine, and the face and touch of the man she loved.
00:50I send greetings.
00:52What's the matter with you?
00:58How much English do you understand?
01:00I understand readings in 54 planetary languages.
01:05Do you seriously expect me to tell you, presently, that an alien has landed, assumed the identity of a dead house painter,
01:13and is presently out tooling around the countryside in a hopped up 1977 Mustang?
01:19You're not from around here, are you?
01:23Figure what it would mean to talk to a being from a civilization like that.
01:27Figure what we could learn.
01:29You don't understand there isn't much time, please.
01:34He doesn't want to hurt anybody.
01:37Can't you just leave him alone?
01:40What the hell ever happened to good manners? We invited him here!
01:43So far to come, so much to do, so little time to fall in love.
01:51Look up. Company's coming.
01:56John Carpenter's Starman.
02:09Starman.
