“This is about a family going into space, and there’s gonna be a lot of adventures, earthquakes …” he recalled.


“I said, ‘Gee, I don’t know, I’m not sure, because of the subject matter.'”


“And [Goddard’s agent] said, ‘Well, listen, you just do it and don’t worry about it. Take the money. Because nobody’s gonna see it and it’ll never sell.’  “
