00:00:00This is a story of tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, when men have built a station in space
00:00:15constructed in the form of a great wheel, and set a thousand miles out from the earth.
00:00:21Fixed by gravity, and turning about the world every two hours, serving a double purpose,
00:00:27an observation post in the heavens, and a place where a spaceship can be assembled,
00:00:32and then launched to explore other planets, and the vast universe itself,
00:00:37in the last and greatest adventure of mankind, a plunge toward the...

00:02:04It's a transport, right on schedule, eh, Captain?
00:02:11No, sir, they're late. A minute and 33 seconds.
00:02:14It's a minute and 34 seconds, Captain.
00:02:16It's not important, of course, but it could be.
00:02:18In celestial navigation, one second can be the difference between life and death.
00:02:22Gee, I hope they don't forget to bring up the ice cream this time.
00:02:25I thought I issued an order to the effect
00:02:27that food was never to be a subject of conversation on the wheel.
00:02:30I'm sorry, sir, I forgot.
00:02:32There are some men aboard who are not permitted to enjoy the food that you eat, Corporal.
00:02:36And unless you're anxious to share their diet, I'd advise you not to forget again.
00:02:40I won't, sir.
00:02:41The moon, Barney. New days, a month, and we'll be on it.
00:02:50You realize, sir, that I've been up here a full year without any leave?
00:02:54Well, there's several of us in the same boat, Barney.
00:02:55But I'd only been married for three and a half months.
00:02:57I'm sure Linda will understand. She's a sensible girl.
00:03:00After all, when a girl marries a soldier...
00:03:01Soldier?
00:03:02Ghost, you mean?
00:03:03A robot spinning around the world every two hours on a tin donut.
00:03:06That's what you've been to mother for three years.
00:03:07And what I'm becoming to my wife, Barney.
00:03:08I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:09I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:10I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:11You built the wheel, and you're proud of it.
00:03:13You've got every right to be, but...
00:03:14Well, why me?
00:03:15Well, I mean, I wasn't sure.
00:03:16I say my wife to my wife, Barney.
00:03:17But I'd only been married for three and a half months.
00:03:20I'm sure Linda will understand. She's a sensible girl.
00:03:23After all, when a girl marries a soldier...
00:03:25Soldier?
00:03:26Ghost, you mean?
00:03:27A robot, spinning around the world every two hours on a tin donut?
00:03:30That's what you've been to mother for three years,
00:03:32and what I'm becoming to my wife...
00:03:33Barney.
00:03:35I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:36You built the wheel and you're proud of it.
00:03:38You've got every right to be, but...
00:03:40Well, why me?
00:03:42We were happy down there.
00:03:44Little cottage right on the base.
00:03:46She was just beginning to furnish it.
00:03:48And you yanked me out of it.
00:03:50You belong here, Barney.
00:03:53You're my son.
00:03:55Space is your heritage.
00:03:59I formally request, sir, that inasmuch as service on the wheel is voluntary,
00:04:04I have never been accorded the privilege of volunteering,
00:04:07that I be granted permission to return to Earth on the transport rocket.
00:04:11Colonel, sir, there's a storm building up in the Pacific.
00:04:14Real Lulu. Might be a hurricane.
00:04:16Chart it and notify all weather stations likely to be affected.
00:04:19Yes, sir.
00:04:28Permission denied, Captain.
00:04:37KI au Kbook zaidats Ryan....
00:04:56Somehow or another, I kind of hate to see this job get finished.
00:05:02It's like my cousin, Seymour.
00:05:03He's a plastic surgeon.
00:05:05He built a face for an ugly dame once,
00:05:08which turned out to be so beautiful,
00:05:12he fell in love with her.
00:05:14So off she went with the garbage collector.
00:05:17You afraid this beautiful ship would go off without you, Jackie?
00:05:21Precisely and definitely the opposite.
00:05:24Well, frankly, I'm... I'm frightened of going,
00:05:27but I'm more frightened of being left behind.
00:05:30For what you scared, we build this ship so we fly it.
00:05:35And so we get to the moon.
00:05:38Who's gonna guarantee we ever get back?
00:05:41I'm with Pete.
00:05:43For a fat solid year, I've been eating bites here
00:05:47on his goofy sombrero with no squawk.
00:05:50Now, let some other heroes take her from here.
00:05:54This little guinea pig ain't gonna no more joy hops
00:05:57for the great Colonel Merritt.
00:06:00And if old space-happy thinks otherwise,
00:06:03he can take his ship and...
00:06:06And what, Sergeant Siegel?
00:06:12Sergeant Siegel just left, sir.
00:06:30Roy! Secure that cable!
00:06:32I... I...
00:06:33Can't...
00:06:34Move a finger!
00:06:35Careful!
00:06:36Watch out! The high-mo there!
00:06:40Drop it!
00:06:44Are you hurt?
00:06:45No, but I...
00:06:46What is it, Roy? What is the matter with you?
00:06:48I don't know. I...
00:06:49I'm...
00:06:50Paralyzed!
00:06:51Let's get him back to the wheel!
00:06:53Taxi!
00:07:03We got a sick man here!
00:07:04Gotta get him back to the wheel!
00:07:06Get a wheel!
00:07:15All set!
00:07:16Shove off!
00:07:36Are you feeling better, Roy?
00:07:48I'm all right, I guess.
00:07:50Yeah, I'm all right.
00:07:51Let's have the straight of it.
00:07:52What's wrong with the lad?
00:07:53What's the matter?
00:07:54You sick of something?
00:07:55You hurt someplace?
00:07:56No, I, uh...
00:07:57I just couldn't move out there, but...
00:07:58I'm all right.
00:07:59You couldn't move, you say?
00:08:00Why not?
00:08:01I don't know, I...
00:08:02I just couldn't.
00:08:03Ah, he's all right, he told you.
00:08:05Leave him alone!
00:08:06It ain't important!
00:08:07You know the Colonel's orders
00:08:08when you incubate the babies?
00:08:10Even a pimple is important!
00:08:12You bluebirds are my responsibility,
00:08:14and he's reporting to the infirmary.
00:08:16Come on, lad, I'll take him himself.
00:08:22Gee, it'd be worth taking a trip to the moon.
00:08:25Just to get rid of that overgrown babysitter.
00:08:30What is it, sir?
00:08:34I...
00:08:35I'm all right, aren't I?
00:08:36Of course, my boy, of course.
00:08:38Nothing more serious than a momentary lapse of nerve function.
00:08:42You're fine.
00:08:48You believe him, sir?
00:08:49I mean, this couldn't make any difference.
00:08:51It's been a whole year, sir, and...
00:08:53after all this time, I...
00:08:55I'd hate to wash out.
00:08:56Well, I'd hate to lose you, Cooper.
00:08:58Thank you, sir.
00:09:09Let's have it, Curt.
00:09:10What's really the matter with that boy?
00:09:12Oh, Cooper's in fine condition, sir.
00:09:15Well, you gave him a complete physical examination
00:09:17only three days ago, Major.
00:09:19A perfect score, remember?
00:09:21You don't have to worry about that boy, sir, I assure you.
00:09:23He was paralyzed out there, Sergeant.
00:09:25He couldn't move.
00:09:26That's something to worry about up here.
00:09:29What was it?
00:09:30Somatic dyspasia.
00:09:32Self-induced inability of the nerves to transmit brain messages.
00:09:35In your language, space fatigue.
00:09:38Self-induced?
00:09:39Well, not consciously, of course.
00:09:41Each mind has its own limit of endurance, at which point it rebels.
00:09:44The result can be anything.
00:09:46Simple hives.
00:09:47Hallucination.
00:09:48Headache.
00:09:49Loss of speech.
00:09:50Paralysis.
00:09:51Total insanity.
00:09:52Anything.
00:09:53All of us up here suffer from the same disease to some degree.
00:09:57It is to be expected.
00:09:59Man has never before lived in space.
00:10:02Fortunately, most of the cases are so minor they present no problem.
00:10:06But Cooper?
00:10:07Cooper will be perfectly normal as soon as you return him to Earth.
00:10:12That bad?
00:10:13What he experienced was simply a warning.
00:10:17If it happens again, it could be permanent.
00:10:19I see.
00:10:21How about the others?
00:10:23Andre, Immorto.
00:10:25Excellent.
00:10:26As for Siegel, Sinella, and Dunkeskirt, every day with them it is a new set of horrible afflictions.
00:10:34Some of them completely unknown to medical science.
00:10:37Furthermore, they all seem to have an absolute loathing for the wheel, its commanding officer, its doctor, a certain Sergeant Mahoney, and the Space Corps in general.
00:10:48Everything, with the possible exception of good food and women.
00:10:53In other words, they're normal.
00:10:55Thank you very much, Major.
00:11:06What's the matter, sir? Are you ill?
00:11:09No.
00:11:10No, I'm all right.
00:11:14Carry on.
00:11:25You're ill.
00:11:26No, you're ill.
00:11:27In the other words.
00:11:28What?
00:11:29No.
00:11:30No.
00:11:39No.
00:11:40No, I'm all right.
00:11:41No, you're ill.
00:11:43No, I'm all right.
00:11:44No, no, no, no.
00:11:45No, no, no.
00:11:46You're ill.
00:11:47No.
00:11:48No, no.
00:11:49My girls.
00:12:19Thank heaven science ain't found no way to put you up in capsules.
00:12:24The future of Mr. Segal Pedro!
00:12:26How'd you like to paddle that around in your gondola?
00:12:31For a wife. Too skinny.
00:12:34Too skinny? That's beautiful skin, boy.
00:12:39Andre, what did they say?
00:12:42I'm not out, am I?
00:12:43Out of what, Roy?
00:12:45A spaceship. It must have a crew.
00:12:48Now look, Roy.
00:12:50The colonel hasn't told us definitely we are the crew.
00:12:53We don't have to be told.
00:12:55We are, you know we are.
00:12:57Every man on the wheel won his place after six months of the stiffest competition in the world.
00:13:01Each one of us were handpicked from the winners for this special duty.
00:13:05Who else is being conditioned as we are? Special food, special exercise.
00:13:09Tests, lectures, watched every second, never any leave!
00:13:13You fellas know how... how tough it's been.
00:13:23Now just because I had a... bad couple of minutes out there.
00:13:28That's funny. I didn't think to have a bad couple of minutes myself.
00:13:40I don't think we're going no place.
00:13:43Alright, so we built a spaceship. That doesn't mean we have to fly it.
00:13:46Hey, maybe we're guinea pigs.
00:13:48Maybe they want to find out how much of them cosmic rays a human carcass can absorb
00:13:52before we light up like Christmas trees.
00:13:54Eh?
00:13:55And to double pay, I could only like cosmic rays.
00:13:58With all that loot, boy, I'm going to open a TV shop, settle down, marry my Rosie,
00:14:04and raise a house full of kids.
00:14:06So if I glow a little in the dark, she could find me better.
00:14:10If you get that charge with cosmic rays, you better not plan on too large a family.
00:14:15That's a lot of borscht.
00:14:17One of them cats in the lab just had a litter of seven kittens,
00:14:20and she's been up here longer than we have.
00:14:22And anything a cat can do, me or Rosie could do, too.
00:14:27Last call for dining car.
00:14:29Food!
00:14:35One, two!
00:14:41Over here.
00:14:43Are we leaving, gentlemen?
00:14:44Yes, Mother.
00:15:10Be seated, gentlemen.
00:15:34Mahoney has six little lambs.
00:15:37He has to wash their diet.
00:15:40They helped the colonel build his ship.
00:15:43And now they have to fly it.
00:15:50Hazards!
00:15:54Dig in.
00:16:05Space smog is both.
00:16:10Say, pretty good today.
00:16:14Corned beef, I think.
00:16:16Imagine.
00:16:17All the nourishment you need.
00:16:19No mess, no butter, and no waste.
00:16:22I think I still prefer to eat the hard way.
00:16:24Hey, Jackie.
00:16:25Pass me a cup of coffee.
00:16:30Cream and sugar.
00:16:32Okay, so I volunteered.
00:16:42So I'll eat.
00:16:48What are you eating it for?
00:16:49Colonel Merritt eats it.
00:16:50That's the reason.
00:16:51For 30 years, me and the colonel have been banging around together.
00:16:54Korea.
00:16:55Africa.
00:16:56China.
00:16:57Now Spain.
00:16:59If he intends to shove off to anywhere else,
00:17:01I ain't giving him any excuse to leave me behind because I ain't eating the proper diet.
00:17:05Some more of that corned beef, would you please?
00:17:11You feel better, son?
00:17:12Hmm?
00:17:13Oh.
00:17:14Fine.
00:17:15Mahoney, you know the colonel a lot better than the rest of us.
00:17:18You don't think he'll wash me out?
00:17:19Stop worrying.
00:17:20If he's going off on an excursion, who's he gonna take?
00:17:25He'll have to ask for volunteers again.
00:17:27Us?
00:17:28That son of his?
00:17:31I happen to know about a grapevine that the captain has already put in for a transfer.
00:17:36So that leaves you.
00:17:37So I hope you and the colonel will be very happy together.
00:17:42This ain't kosher combi.
00:17:44The captain put in for a transfer, didn't he?
00:17:47Well, good riddance, I say.
00:17:49He's a fine officer.
00:17:51He doesn't measure up to his father's belt buckle.
00:17:53You know, I was with the colonel the night he got the word the kid was born.
00:17:59We were in Indochina.
00:18:01We did a little bit of celebrating.
00:18:04I remember the colonel, captain, he was then, pointing up to the sky and said,
00:18:10You see that moon?
00:18:12That's his birthday present.
00:18:15Someday I'm gonna give it to him.
00:18:17A balloon on a string would mean as much to the ingrate, putting in for a transfer.
00:18:29This is a mistake.
00:18:30This is a mistake.
00:18:31No mistake.
00:18:32Compliments of Colonel Merrick.
00:18:40Steak.
00:18:41Mushrooms.
00:18:42Asparagus.
00:18:43Go ahead, Roy.
00:18:44Dig in.
00:18:48Looks...
00:18:51Looks delicious, doesn't it?
00:18:52Go on, cut it.
00:18:53Cut it.
00:18:54Cut that steak!
00:19:06Man, that juice.
00:19:23You were saying, Sergeant Brooklyn?
00:19:24I was saying, Sergeant Amoro, if it wasn't for certain fathead of stool pigeon just waiting for me to do it.
00:19:38Man, I'd be lapping up that stigma.
00:19:40Hey, look out!
00:19:50Meteor, sir!
00:19:55Evacuate section 34 and seal off.
00:19:57Switch to Walton, the tanks and compensators.
00:20:09Fire all jets.
00:20:10Sporadic blasts.
00:20:12Stabilize the wheel.
00:20:13Stabilize the wheel.
00:20:14Stabilize the wheel.
00:20:15It's a mortar sale when they're divided.
00:20:20Yeah, you're battling it.
00:20:21It wasn't the thing for trolley but there's an opera, they say to the楽ier and gas.

00:22:30Dr. Fenton, nice to see you.
00:22:32The Colonel's expecting you, sir, if you'd like to freshen up first.
00:22:34Thanks, later. If it's possible, I'd better see the Colonel at once.
00:22:37Of course.
00:22:38Take charge of the new men, Lieutenant. This way, sir.
00:22:55Come in.
00:23:01George, thank heaven they sent you.
00:23:04How are you, boy?
00:23:06A bit rocky, but all right otherwise. And you, Sam?
00:23:09Oh, fit as a fettel.
00:23:10It's against regulations to feel any other way on the wheel.
00:23:13My own orders. Come on, sit down.
00:23:15Thanks, I will.
00:23:16I didn't know until a half hour ago that they were sending you up.
00:23:19You remember my son, Barney, don't you?
00:23:21Dr. Fenton helped to plan every detail of this wheel, Barney.
00:23:25They thought we were insane then, didn't they, George?
00:23:28Well, frankly, I thought so, too.
00:23:30But here it is.
00:23:32You put it up here.
00:23:34You know, for once, the International Authority has really sent up somebody
00:23:37who knows what it's all about.
00:23:39And since you are one of the geniuses responsible for that monstrosity,
00:23:44would you mind telling me what it is?
00:23:46We assembled this thing piece by piece as it came up.
00:23:50According to your brilliant specifications.
00:23:53It's a masterpiece of technology and electronics.
00:23:57But it doesn't make one particle of sense.
00:24:02In just what way do you mean?
00:24:04Well, here.
00:24:05Take these wings, for instance.
00:24:06What in blazes are wings doing on this ship?
00:24:09There's no atmosphere on the moon.
00:24:10The moon?
00:24:11And this booster, all that power.
00:24:13What are we gonna do, go up to the moon or going through it?
00:24:15Or maybe we're supposed to tow it back with us
00:24:17so those bright boys from every nation on earth can have a better look at it.
00:24:20Is that the idea?
00:24:21Working for one government was bad enough.
00:24:23But now we've got all of them on our backs.
00:24:26I think you'd better read your orders.
00:24:28General.
00:24:30General?
00:24:32Your promotion is among these dispatches.
00:24:35Congratulations, sir. A general.
00:24:37Your order, Sam.
00:24:39For you, Captain, your transfer.
00:24:41You'll be attached to Murok, I believe, as you requested.
00:24:44You can return with me if you like.
00:25:03Morris.
00:25:06Morris, sir?
00:25:11George, this is fantastic.
00:25:13No more so than going to the moon.
00:25:18Mars isn't the moon.
00:25:21A slight difference of several million miles.
00:25:26Not one word.
00:25:28No warning.
00:25:29Just take off and leave.
00:25:33Just across the solar system.
00:25:36I tell you we're not ready, George.
00:25:38Why wasn't I consulted?
00:25:39We only reached the decision yesterday.
00:25:43There was some discussion about your age and...
00:25:46Well, General Cronin convinced the authorities...
00:25:48And who convinced Cronin?
00:25:49You?
00:25:50A long time ago, the Supreme Consul issued an order
00:25:52that the final objective of this project was to be the planet Mars.
00:25:56You were present at all those discussions.
00:25:57The moon was never anything more than just a test hop.
00:26:00Now the orders are to eliminate the test and proceed with the original plan.
00:26:04Time makes it imperative.
00:26:05There's only one man who can take that ship to another planet and bring it back.
00:26:11The man who built the wheel...
00:26:14To gamble the lives of a crew of men...
00:26:17On as senseless a mission as this...
00:26:20Is callous.
00:26:22Stupid.
00:26:23Stupid or callous, it may seem to be at this time.
00:26:28It is not senseless.
00:26:30Man's very survival on Earth depends upon the success of this or some future search...
00:26:34For a new source of raw materials.
00:26:36General Samuel T. Merritt.
00:26:49Very imposing title.
00:26:53For a tombstone.
00:26:55The orders are naturally contingent to your acceptance, General.
00:27:00You can refuse.
00:27:07When do we leave?
00:27:16You're going?
00:27:19I've never refused to obey an order, Captain.
00:27:23I never have either, sir.
00:27:25Until now.
00:27:30When do we leave?
00:27:31Our previous orders were to leave the wheel...
00:27:36Proceed to the moon...
00:27:38Orbit for observation...
00:27:40Make a landing...
00:27:41And return to base.
00:27:44These orders have now been cancelled.
00:27:46We're not going to the moon.
00:27:49Mr. Fenton has brought us a new directive.
00:27:51Can you direct him?
00:27:57Our time of departure will be 11.36 tomorrow morning.
00:28:01Our destination, the planet Mars.
00:28:04Now that time of departure, both for the outer trip from the wheel to Mars...
00:28:08And for the return from Mars to the wheel is most important.
00:28:11We must arrive at the Martian orbit...
00:28:13At the exact time when it is occupied by the planet.
00:28:15Obviously, the same precision of timing applies for our return.
00:28:20Now, you five men have been chosen after intensive competitive examinations.
00:28:26For the past year, you've been receiving special training and instruction...
00:28:31For travel into outer space.
00:28:33The ship, however, can accommodate only two officers and three crewmen.
00:28:37I have been assigned as commanding officer.
00:28:40All other service on this trip will be voluntary.
00:28:41Since Captain Merritt has already volunteered...
00:28:46There are only three berths left open.
00:28:48Two of you then are going to be disappointed.
00:28:51I can take it, sir.
00:28:56Before I ask for volunteers, I should like to state my own preferences.
00:29:00You're all fine men.
00:29:02Final selection will be made on the basis of special qualifications.
00:29:06Sergeant Siegel?
00:29:08Yes, sir?
00:29:09I don't think there's a man on the wheel with less formal education than you possess.
00:29:12Yes, sir. I'm sure ignorant, sir.
00:29:14No one with a better knowledge of advanced electronics.
00:29:17I should like to have you along.
00:29:19Sergeant Emoto, you're a graduate of Osaka University...
00:29:23With two years of post-graduate work at the Colorado School of Mines.
00:29:27That knowledge is valuable.
00:29:29Sergeant Fedor, two years of medicine in Vienna, right?
00:29:32You're both needed.
00:29:33Before any of you accept, I should like to make it unmistakably clear...
00:29:38That the dangers of this journey are above and beyond anything...
00:29:42That the Space Corps or your own governments have any right to ask of you.
00:29:45I can give you confounded little reason for this attempt to reach Mars...
00:29:50And no assurance at all that it will even be successful.
00:29:52It's my personal conviction that no one but an idiot would volunteer.
00:29:59And I shall strongly suspect the sanity of anyone who does.
00:30:07All right. We've all got it straight.
00:30:10Who wants to go?
00:30:11Is it permitted to disagree with the General, sir?
00:30:23Of course, Sergeant.
00:30:25In my humble opinion, sir, there is an excellent reason for this voyage.
00:30:31Well, suppose you tell us about it.
00:30:36Some years ago, my country chose to fight a terrible war.
00:30:39It was bad. I do not defend it.
00:30:43But there were reasons.
00:30:45Somehow, those reasons are never spoken of.
00:30:48To the Western world at that time, Japan was a fairy book nation.
00:30:52Little people living in a strange land of rice paper houses.
00:30:57People who had almost no furniture.
00:30:59Who sat on the floor and ate with chopsticks.
00:31:03The quaint houses of rice paper, sir, they were made of paper...
00:31:06because there was no other material available.
00:31:09And the winters in Japan are as cold as they are in Boston.
00:31:13And the chopsticks?
00:31:15There was no metal for forks and knives and spoons.
00:31:18Where slippers of wood could suffice.
00:31:20So it was with the little people of Japan.
00:31:23Little as I am now.
00:31:24Because for countless generations we have not been able to produce the food to make us bigger.
00:31:33Japan's yesterday will be the world's tomorrow.
00:31:37Too many people and too little land.
00:31:40That is why I say, sir, there is urgent need for us to reach Mars...
00:31:43to provide the resources the human race will need...
00:31:48if they are to survive.
00:31:51That is also why I am most grateful to be found acceptable, sir.
00:31:56I volunteer.
00:31:59Thank you, Sergeant Emoto.
00:32:02You're not a little man.
00:32:07Anyone else?
00:32:13Look, General, sir.
00:32:17You wouldn't want these helpless infants along on a mission like this...
00:32:20now a couple of tough old soldiers like ourselves.
00:32:22You're not going, Mahoney.
00:32:26I'm within me rights to demand a reason.
00:32:28You're 20 years too old.
00:32:31Too old?
00:32:33I'm three months younger than you, sir, Merritt, and with twice the endurance.
00:32:37Who was it carried you on his back for seven miles after the Battle of Bloody Hill in 1952...
00:32:40when all the breath you had left in you was enough to blow out a candle and a Halloween pumpkin?
00:32:44Now, I said no, Mahoney.
00:32:46Now, you angled your way onto this wheel against my specific orders...
00:32:49and you're not going to bully your way onto the spaceship.
00:32:51What?
00:32:52And if you say another word, I'm going to have you thrown into solitary for a month...
00:32:55and tied to a wheelchair when you get out.
00:32:57Phew!
00:33:02I'll go, sir.
00:33:07Well, sir...
00:33:09Well, I hate to see everybody eat with chopsticks so...
00:33:13Check!
00:33:15To you men, our thanks...
00:33:17for your patience and all your sacrifices.
00:33:19The Earth Rocket leaves in two hours. Get packed, huh?
00:33:22Dismissed.
00:33:23The Earth Rocket leaves.
00:33:27The Earth Rocket leaves.
00:33:29Fire!
00:33:31What's that?
00:33:32The Earth Rocket leaves!
00:33:38Speechmaker, chopstick.
00:33:39Beechmaker, chopstick.
00:34:09I'm mad about a sheik, I must have his embrace.
00:34:17When he's near me, dear me, I'll tell him to his face.
00:34:22Oh, I'll be my baby, take me by the hand.
00:34:26Maybe we'll make love, or maybe on the desert sand.
00:34:32On the desert sand.
00:34:34Oh, I've gone into my tent.
00:34:40Nah, we couldn't have that kind of luck.
00:34:45Or couldn't we?
00:34:48After all, if there's life, there's always the female of the species.
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:56But what species?
00:34:59Yeah.
00:35:01Jimmy dances doing his taco.
00:35:04God jumps you back in the rock-o.
00:35:06God takes him off of the rock-o.
00:35:08You belong to me.
00:35:10I'm about to be my baby.
00:35:12I'm at your command.
00:35:14Maybe make some love, or maybe on the desert sand.
00:35:18Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:35:20On the desert sand.
00:35:24Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:35:25Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:35:34We interrupt this program to take you now to the press room of the trans-world communications in New York City.
00:35:40Ladies and gentlemen, it has just been revealed by the security office of the Supreme International Space Authority
00:35:46that within the next 24 hours, exact time to be given later,
00:35:52man's first spaceship, built and commanded by General Samuel Merritt,
00:35:57will blast off in the most fabulous voyage ever conceived by the human mind.
00:36:03Their destination is the planet Mars.
00:36:07Mars? You guys?
00:36:10You want our autographs, peasants?
00:36:16We take you now to our permanent station on Mount Palomar.
00:36:19There they are, ladies and gentlemen, the satellite and the spaceship, the dream of all mankind come true.
00:36:25The moment is almost here, the moment for that creation of the wheel to launch out into limitless space,
00:36:31to carry five heroic men to a new planet and to immortality.
00:36:34And now, ladies and gentlemen, please stand by while we close our circuits for the final special event of the evening.
00:36:40A private last look at the world for the heroic men of the wheel alone.
00:36:46Take it away, Vienna!
00:36:48So, meine Gnädigste, darf ich bitten, jetzt zum Mikrofon zu kommen?
00:36:57So, jetzt ist der Moment. Bitte etwas näher, etwas näher.
00:37:01This lady is Mrs. Heinz Fodor, gentleman, the mother of Henri Fodor.
00:37:07So, und jetzt bitte sprechen Sie ganz ungenierter da hinaus.
00:37:13Sehr liebenswürdig von Ihnen.
00:37:14Dankeschön.
00:37:15André, André, my boy, this is your mother. Can you hear me?
00:37:25What you are doing must be good.
00:37:27You are a good boy.
00:37:29André, please, André, please, André, be careful.
00:37:34God watch over you, my boy, and bring you back to me.
00:37:40Das ist bitten.
00:37:42And now, now we take you back to New York.
00:37:46Miss Rosalie McCann, who has something to say to Sergeant Siegel before he leaves.
00:37:52Rose!
00:37:52Rose!
00:37:59Hello, Jackie.
00:38:04Wow!
00:38:06Mine!
00:38:07Oh, mine!
00:38:09You miss me, Jackie baby.
00:38:11I miss you, honeypot.
00:38:14You've been away a long time, Jackie.
00:38:16But where love is concerned.
00:38:18What's the air, this way or that?
00:38:20When the flame of love is burning.
00:38:23And it's burning, Jackie, right here.
00:38:25Forever.
00:38:26In it too, Rosie baby.
00:38:29For me, there never could be anyone else but you.
00:38:35Never, ever, ever.
00:38:36Psst, psst, Rosie.
00:38:37In a minute, in a minute.
00:38:43And though I won't say goodbye, Jackie, just farewell.
00:38:48Psst, psst, Rosie.
00:38:50Hey, come on.
00:38:50Please, Sidney.
00:38:52In a minute.
00:38:54Sidney!
00:38:54Sidney!
00:38:55I've got to hurry now, Jackie.
00:39:00Mama's waiting.
00:39:02Mama?
00:39:04Ow!
00:39:05Bye now.
00:39:07Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
00:39:08Psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst.
00:39:11Psst, psst, psst, psst, psst.
00:39:11Don't forget to bring your Rosie back.
00:39:14A nice souvenir from Mars.
00:39:17Souvenir!
00:39:18You two-timer, tomato!
00:39:21But that Sidney, I got a souvenir.
00:39:23Come on out, you red!
00:39:24I'll burn you, I'll touch you!
00:39:26That's what I'll do!
00:39:27Hold on!
00:39:33ubl Så with внут貴
00:39:50The End
00:40:20Holding 20,000 miles per hour, sir
00:40:39Set your gyros for Mars
00:40:47Yes, sir
00:40:47On course, Captain
00:41:01On course
00:41:03You were saying, Sergeant Brooklyn
00:41:07I was saying, Sergeant Immortal
00:41:09That the next time
00:41:11I am definitely going to try to train
00:41:13You men can get out of those couches now
00:41:15We won't need them again
00:41:16If we land on Mars
00:41:17Ain't that just grand, Sergeant?
00:41:23Not in the warrior pot
00:41:24For millions and millions of miles
00:41:27Spaceship
00:41:28Wheel calling
00:41:29Come in
00:41:30Over
00:41:31Spaceship one to the wheel
00:41:38Come in, wheel
00:41:39Over
00:41:39Hello, spaceship one
00:41:41Professor Fenton for General Merritt
00:41:43General, sir
00:41:44How are we doing, George?
00:41:59Good, General
00:42:00You're getting a bigger push from Earth
00:42:02Than we anticipated, however
00:42:03Is our cotangential orbit correct?
00:42:05We're computing it now
00:42:07Keep your radio open
00:42:09We'll be in constant communication
00:42:11As long as possible
00:42:12Incidentally, TWC is OK'd relay broadcast for morale
00:42:17Your boys like to hear some mood music?
00:42:21Thanks
00:42:21For this mood, there is no music
00:42:24Stand by the radio
00:42:28Yes, sir
00:42:28Sergeant Emoto
00:42:36Sergeant Fodor
00:42:37Go after and check the tailpipe temperatures
00:42:39Look at him
00:42:41He's off again
00:42:42We went to a lot of trouble
00:42:48To develop those magnetized shoes
00:42:50Now you get back into them
00:42:52And keep them zipped up
00:42:53We'll have no unnecessary floating
00:42:55Aboard this ship
00:42:56No, sir
00:42:57General, look
00:43:09Grab him
00:43:11Put him over there
00:43:12Mahoney
00:43:22Don't you stand there
00:43:24Get some water
00:43:25All the stupid, harebrained things to do
00:43:29Stowing away on a spaceship
00:43:32What a beating he must have taken during the blastoff
00:43:35Wake up, you insubordinate lunatic
00:43:3730 years in the army
00:43:39And still too brainless to obey an order
00:43:41Wake up
00:43:43So I can have you shot
00:43:45He's coming too
00:43:46What are you doing aboard this ship?
00:43:48You forgot your toothbrush
00:43:58I don't remember you reading the Bible so often, sir
00:44:18It's the one book you never really get through reading
00:44:22Man's every move
00:44:24Every thought
00:44:25Every action is in there somewhere
00:44:27Recorded or predicted
00:44:29Every move except
00:44:33This one
00:44:34According to the Bible
00:44:38Man was created on the earth
00:44:39Nothing is ever mentioned of his going to other planets
00:44:43Not one blessed word
00:44:45At the time the Bible was written
00:44:47It wouldn't have made much sense, would it?
00:44:50Does it now?
00:44:52The biblical limitations of man's wanderings
00:44:55Are set down as being the four corners of the earth
00:44:57Not Mars or Jupiter or infinity
00:45:01The question is, Bonnie, what are we?
00:45:07Explorers
00:45:07Or invaders
00:45:11Invaders?
00:45:13Of what, sir?
00:45:16The sacred domain of God
00:45:18His heavens
00:45:20To man God gave the earth
00:45:23Nothing else
00:45:25This taking of
00:45:29Of other planets
00:45:30It's almost like an act of blasphemy
00:45:34But why?
00:45:36They belong to no one else
00:45:38We don't know that
00:45:40But look, sir
00:45:42It couldn't be just an accident
00:45:44That at the very time
00:45:45When man's resources on earth
00:45:47Are reaching an end
00:45:47Man develops the ability
00:45:49To leave his own world
00:45:51And seek replenishment on other planets
00:45:53The timing is what fascinates me
00:45:56It's too perfect to be accidental
00:45:58Those other planets might already be tenanted
00:46:03I don't think so
00:46:04The universe was put here for man to conquer
00:46:08I don't know
00:46:11I just don't know
00:46:16Why don't you try to get a little sleep, sir?
00:46:20Huh?
00:46:21Oh
00:46:22Yes, I
00:46:24I think I will
00:46:25Good night, Barney
00:46:29Good night, Father
00:46:52Topside view is jammed
00:46:55Can't move it
00:46:56Sergeant Siegel
00:46:57Sergeant Fodor

00:48:05This is just crazy
00:48:06The jakieś
00:48:07It'll take you
00:48:08Yeah,who
00:48:08kiedyś
00:48:09Can't move it
00:48:10Do you choose
00:48:10Yes, please
00:48:11Do you choose
00:48:12Try it now, sir.
00:48:22It's okay now.
00:48:25Now, you men go forward and...
00:48:28I'm sorry.
00:48:29I'm sorry.
00:48:30I'm sorry.
00:48:31I'm sorry.
00:48:32I'm sorry.
00:48:33I'm sorry.
00:48:34I'm sorry.
00:48:35I'm sorry.
00:48:36It's okay now.
00:48:38Now, you men go forward and...
00:48:43asteroid, dead astern.
00:49:06I'm sorry.
00:49:23Come on.
00:49:24Let's get inside before they throw something else at us.
00:49:31Meteor fragments.
00:49:36Sergeant Siegel, return to the airlock at once.
00:49:38That's an order.
00:49:39Give him a hand.
00:49:40Yes, sir.
00:49:41Mahoney.
00:49:42Yes, sir.
00:49:43Mahoney.
00:49:44Yes, sir.
00:49:45Mahoney.
00:49:46Yes, sir.
00:49:47Yes, sir.
00:49:48Well, if you've brought the army here...
00:49:52Sergeant Siegel, return to the airlock at once.
00:49:55That's an order.
00:49:56Give him a hand.
00:49:57Yes, sir.
00:49:58Mahoney.
00:49:59Yes, sir.
00:50:31Hey, if anybody likes some hot coffee, we can heat up a couple of tins.
00:50:47Get lost.
00:50:51Get lost, will you?
00:50:53Yeah.
00:51:00Get lost.
00:51:01Get lost.
00:51:02Get lost!
00:51:03Take it easy, lad.
00:51:05He can't hear you.
00:51:08Sir, shouldn't someone go out there and...
00:51:23Oh, Lord, rebuke me not, nor chasten me in thy heart displeasure.
00:51:44For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
00:51:51There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger,
00:51:57and there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
00:52:02Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
00:52:14You don't know what I mean.
00:52:18Good witch.
00:52:19Week 5.
00:52:21Week 6.
00:52:25Week 6.
00:52:31Wheeler calling spaceship!
00:52:33Wheeler calling spaceship!
00:52:35Come in, over!
00:52:36The wheel. They're trying to get us.
00:52:39Spaceship to wheel. We hear you. We hear you.
00:52:43Come in. Over.
00:52:47Lost.
00:52:49Now, it takes time. Millions of miles.
00:52:54Spaceship to wheel. We hear you. We hear you.
00:52:58Come in. Come in. Over.
00:53:01Spaceship to wheel. Come in. Come in. Over.
00:53:08Getting bigger all the time, isn't it, sir?
00:53:18Yes, Sergeant.
00:53:22The planet and the blasphemy.
00:53:24The what, sir?
00:53:26Spaceship. Spaceship.
00:53:29Wheel calling spaceship.
00:53:31This is Fenton. We've been calling you constantly for weeks.
00:53:35Come in. Over.
00:53:37Spaceship to wheel. This is Captain Merritt. Stand by for the general.
00:53:41General, sir. The wheel.
00:53:54Merritt speaking. Here's the report.
00:53:57Lost course for several days due to near collision with asteroid.
00:54:03But we can still reach destination as plotted.
00:54:07Which may be Mars or Hell.
00:54:12This voyage is a cursed abomination.
00:54:15If it were possible, I'd come back now, return the ship to Earth and blow it up.
00:54:19No, please.
00:54:20Together with all plans in existence, we're building another.
00:54:28We're committing man's greatest sacrilege.
00:54:34And we can't stop.
00:54:36Professor, the general isn't well. Fatigue.
00:54:41He's been suffering from severe headaches and insomnia.
00:54:44He's very tired, almost exhausted.
00:54:46We lost a crew member, Andre Podor, struck by a meteor.
00:54:49The general took it very hard.
00:54:51I'm sure it's only temporary. He'll be all right. Don't worry.
00:54:54Everything else is under control. I...
00:55:00Hey, you guys. We're in trouble.
00:55:02Off our course?
00:55:03No, the general.
00:55:05He had a blast he just threw at the wheel.
00:55:07Not just that Bible talk he's been spouting lately.
00:55:11Crazy stuff.
00:55:12Things like blowing up the ship. Things like that.
00:55:16Gone.
00:55:18Just like Cooper.
00:55:20Listen, you slimy little calumniator.
00:55:23If you were one-tenth a man, the general is you'd be twice the man you are.
00:55:26What he says or how he acts is not for you to criticize.
00:55:29And if I catch you doing it again, I'll pull out your filthy tongue and strangle you with it.
00:55:42What?
00:55:56Sam?
00:55:58How about coming down to the parlor and have a little cup of tea with a lonesome old friend?
00:56:12Look at her. All red-faced and pouting. Like she might be angry with us.
00:56:29And with us coming all this way to visit her.
00:56:35After you, Sergeant Segal. We've got to release the boosters.
00:56:39Hey, don't we need them tanks?
00:56:40They're empty. Just excess baggage now.
00:56:43The reserve tanks below will take us back home.
00:56:46Ready, sir.
00:56:49Jettison boosters.
00:57:02Look at it go.
00:57:10Jettison boosters.
00:57:15That's what would happen to us if we hit the atmosphere that fast.
00:57:18All right, men. Positions for landing.
00:57:40Jumping trees.
00:57:41Number 4-5.
00:57:42Go to sea.
00:57:43With the water.
00:57:44This is yours.
00:57:45The river.
00:57:46P�лемers.
00:57:47Go to sea.
00:57:50Go to sea.
00:57:51Go to sea.
00:57:53Do you want to be alive?
00:57:54Follow up.
00:57:55The water.
00:57:57The water.
00:57:58The water.
00:57:59The water.
00:58:01The water.
00:58:03The water.
00:58:04The water.
00:58:05Come on.
00:58:12Slowing nicely, sir. Clear landing ahead.
00:58:15No. No.
00:58:18We mustn't. We can't.
00:58:22We haven't the right.
00:58:29General, stop! What are you doing? You're killing!
00:58:35It's okay.
00:58:37No, it's fine too.
00:58:41The pls are too��
00:59:00Oh, my God.
00:59:30Hold your places until the ship is raised.
01:00:00The ship is upright, sir.
01:00:14Good landing.
01:00:18Good landing.
01:00:20This is a good landing?
01:00:22Any landing's a good landing.
01:00:32Gravity. Beautiful gravity.
01:00:35Let's go below, shall we?
01:01:05Every sunset.
01:01:14Where is служshock?
01:01:19Wrong?
01:01:21Yeah.
01:01:27Baltimore!
01:02:01It feels like good soil. Given water, I bet you can grow anything here we grow on earth. Big things, maybe. Like in Jack the Beanstalk. It'd be wonderful to try and see what could happen. I have some flowers, see. I've been carrying them ever since I left Hawaii. I was going to try them on the moon. But here in this soil, you'd need a pipeline from the Colorado River to water them.
01:02:28Captain, look.
01:02:38Must have damaged the pipes when we landed. Wait here.
01:02:40Let's go.
01:02:41Let's go.
01:02:42Let's go.
01:02:43Let's go.
01:02:44Let's go.
01:02:45Let's go.
01:02:46Let's go.
01:02:47Let's go.
01:02:48Let's go.
01:02:49Let's go.
01:02:50Let's go.
01:02:51Let's go.
01:02:52Let's go.
01:02:53Let's go.
01:02:54Let's go.
01:02:55Let's go.
01:02:56Let's go.
01:02:57General, stop!
01:03:11This wax melteth before the fire,
01:03:14shall let the wicked perish at the front of the sky!
01:03:15Father, stop it!
01:03:17You mad! Hydrazine and nitric acid explode on contact!
01:03:20We'll be blown to bits!
01:03:22Father, stay back!
01:03:27Dad, it's Bonnie!
01:03:31Please, you've got to listen to me!
01:03:38Don't turn that bell!
01:03:40Don't turn it!
01:03:42Father, please!
01:03:57Don't blame yourself.
01:04:18Don't blame yourself.
01:04:19You killed him.
01:04:32No.
01:04:33Your own father!
01:04:35You murdered him!
01:04:38Were you no good?
01:04:39No.
01:04:44No, Captain.
01:04:47You'll not die.
01:04:49Not now.
01:04:51But when we get back, and we'll get back,
01:04:55we've got a day to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:00And I'll be the witness.
01:05:02And it'll be a rope for you, Captain.
01:05:04And I hope they make it slow, very slow,
01:05:08so I can watch you kick!
01:05:34And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:36And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:37And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:38And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:39And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:40And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:41And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:42And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:43And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:44And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:05:45And I'll be the witness to you and me with a court-martial.
01:06:46No signs of water.
01:06:57Not even bugs or worms.
01:07:00They ought to give this planet back to the...
01:07:03Who did you give it back to?
01:07:06No people.
01:07:07Shh.
01:07:11What water we have left is our life.
01:07:14Every drop must be rationed.
01:07:16No washing, no heat.
01:07:17Look, Captain.
01:07:18Why couldn't we kick off what we got left?
01:07:21We couldn't.
01:07:22Except for one slight detail.
01:07:24The Earth wouldn't be there when we arrived.
01:07:26How very unpleasant.
01:07:31So how long we got to stick around this crummy planet?
01:07:35How old are you, Sergeant Segal?
01:07:37Just turned 29.
01:07:39When you turn again, you can start packing.
01:07:42You and Sergeant Mahoney start draining the pipes of the heating system.
01:07:44Well, he says we got to squeeze the water.
01:07:56So let's get to squeezing.
01:07:58It's going to be a cold, dry winter.
01:08:01God rest ye merry gentlemen
01:08:06Let nothing here to slay
01:08:10Remember Christ
01:08:13I say you was born on Christmas Day
01:08:21Call the wheel again, Sergeant.
01:08:31What for?
01:08:33To wish him a merry Christmas?
01:08:38Spaceship to wheel.
01:08:40Come in, wheel.
01:08:42Over.
01:08:45How long are you going to keep doing this?
01:08:48We ain't hurt for the wheel in months.
01:08:51I suppose you're going to answer.
01:08:52So what?
01:08:55Maybe we ask for room service
01:08:57and have him send up some ice water.
01:09:01We've done what no men in the world have done before us.
01:09:05We've got to let them know before it's too late.
01:09:08If it's humanly possible, we've got to report.
01:09:11Report what?
01:09:12That the operation was a big success
01:09:14but the patients are dying
01:09:16and a lousy dried up ball in the corner pocket of nowhere?
01:09:19We could report a murder, Captain.
01:09:21I told you everything that happened, Sergeant.
01:09:30Yes, Captain.
01:09:32That you have.
01:09:35And you can tell it to me from now until doomsday
01:09:37but don't forget I was there
01:09:38and I saw everything with me on ice.
01:09:40Spaceship calling the wheel.
01:09:56Spaceship to wheel.
01:09:58Over.
01:10:03If the general wasn't crazy, he was right.
01:10:05We asked for it.
01:10:08There's no curse on this ship and everybody in it.
01:10:11Baloney.
01:10:13You leave that stuff back on earth
01:10:15but it don't operate past the thousand mile limit.
01:10:22Only God can make a tree.
01:10:26Okay?
01:10:27Where is it?
01:10:30Where's the trees and the flowers and the grass?
01:10:33Where's the water?
01:10:36You hear me?
01:10:38Where's the water?
01:10:45Hey, fellas, look!
01:10:52No!
01:10:53Merry Christmas, boys!
01:10:55Merry Christmas, boys!
01:11:03Merry Christmas, boys!
01:11:16Okay, Captain.
01:11:17Let her rip.
01:12:03Leave that, Mahoney.
01:12:08We won't take anything unessential to the voyage.
01:12:11Everything okay up there, sir?
01:12:13All secure.
01:12:15By this time tomorrow, we'll be on our way home.
01:12:26Just about finished, Captain.
01:12:27Captain, I think these soil and mineral samples will prove that life is possible on Mars.
01:12:34It can be done, sir.
01:12:36All the elements are in those sacks, even air and water in other forms.
01:12:43Until now, this little planet has been alone, friendless, all drawn up into itself.
01:12:50So it's crusty, dried up, and endued in.
01:12:52But with patience and understanding and hard work, it could be made to blossom.
01:13:00I wish I had your faith, Emoto.
01:13:02Hey, fellas, come.
01:13:16Captain, come.
01:13:17Look.
01:13:18Look.
01:13:19Look.
01:13:20It grew.
01:13:21A flower.
01:13:23A seed from Earth growing here.
01:13:25Look at it.
01:13:26A flower on Mars.
01:13:27It is a flower.
01:13:29The End
01:13:59Hey, Captain! The ship is tilted. We won't be able to take off.
01:14:29The sand, look at it. It's draining. It must be caves or crevices underneath.
01:14:34This whole section is honeycomb. We drilled into a lot of pockets.
01:14:37Caves, caverns. If we could crack them open, the sand would pour in like water.
01:14:42We might draw off enough to lower that side of the ship.
01:14:44Straighten her up?
01:14:46It's possible. But how do we crack open the cavities?
01:14:51With the engines. We blast. Hammer the ground with the rockets.
01:14:54Great. But what happens if we open some cracks on the wrong side? We fall over.
01:15:00We've got exactly 14 minutes to come up with a miracle and say goodbye to this planet.
01:15:04Or we'll never leave it.
01:15:08You were saying, Sergeant?
01:15:09I'm sold.
01:15:16Punch it, Captain.
01:15:17Punch it, Captain.
01:15:40Punch it, Captain.
01:15:41Punch it, Captain.
01:15:45Exactly.
01:15:46It's moving.
01:16:16It's working!
01:16:46Try it again, Captain.
01:16:48That's it?
01:16:50I don't get it.
01:16:54We're perpendicular.
01:16:56Protect yourselves.
01:16:58We're blasting off.
01:17:00We're perpendicular.
01:17:02Protect yourselves.
01:17:03We're blasting off.
01:17:04We're perpendicular.
01:17:05We're perpendicular.
01:17:06That's it?
01:17:07I don't get it.
01:17:08We're perpendicular.
01:17:09Protect yourselves.
01:17:10We're blasting off.
01:17:11We're perpendicular.
01:17:12We're perpendicular.
01:17:13Protect yourselves.
01:17:14We're blasting off.
01:17:16We're blasting off.
01:17:46Keep freezing on.
01:17:48Leave it.
01:17:49Move it off.
01:17:50Leave it upon your face.
01:17:51Move it off.
01:17:52Move it off.
01:17:53Move it off.
01:17:54Move it off.
01:17:55Move it off.
01:17:56Push it off.
01:17:57Lay off.
01:17:58G nepal?
01:17:59Kelli.
01:18:00You o His father has fallen.
01:18:01Say the danger.
01:18:02You did it.
01:18:29A date is a date, Sergeant.
01:18:32I'm cold.
01:19:02It was a glorious way the general died.
01:19:18Sacrificing his life as he did to bring his ship and his crew safely to a landing on the rocky desert of a new planet?
01:19:25That's the way the history books will tell it.
01:19:27Won't they, Captain?
01:19:32Fit men for a grand soldier.
01:19:39For the man who conquered space.
01:19:51Would you be caring for a cup of tea, Captain?
01:19:56Thanks.
01:20:02Thanks.
01:20:03Thanks.
01:20:04Thanks.
01:20:05Thanks.
01:20:06Thanks.
01:20:07Thanks.
01:20:09Thanks.
01:20:11Thanks.
01:20:12Thanks.
