00:00:00This is a playback of a radio taped report of an exclusive feature story for the Planetary

00:00:15Chronicle of New York. Ray Peterson reporting. Dateline December 17th. Year 2116. Spaceship

00:00:26Bravo Zulu 88. Destiny Galaxy M12. Assignment outer space.

00:00:56The editor of my paper assigned me to cover a routine check of infraradiation flux on galaxy

00:01:14M12.

00:01:21The crew members, in order to overcome the earthly gravity, have been subjected to a

00:01:39state of hibernation. That is, the human body had put through a congealing process simulating

00:01:44an apparent death. At a preset time, under the impulses of an electric brain, the heart

00:01:54resumes its normal beat. The lungs begin their regular functioning. The blood flowing evenly

00:02:00system. In short, man is reacquiring his earthly faculties.

00:02:07Satsang with forces the women

00:02:13Oh dear,

00:02:18you

00:02:20get into it.

00:02:25There is the pelvis

00:02:30But

00:02:33To counteract the state of weightlessness caused by lack of gravitation, special magnetic

00:02:58boots are provided to control the balance of space travelers.

00:03:28While the crew and I were still in a state of hibernation, the engineer pilot, Al, reported

00:03:39our approach to international satellite Zulu Extra 3-4.

00:03:43Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling Zulu Extra 3-4. Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling Zulu Extra 3-4, over.

00:03:51Zulu Extra 3-4 to Bravo Zulu 8-8, go ahead.

00:03:55Contact established, hibernation period finished, over.

00:04:00Is that you, Al?

00:04:01Hi, Richard.

00:04:02Any news to relay?

00:04:04The usual nausea when awakening, my boy.

00:04:08Bravo Zulu 8-8 has entered orbit of your satellite. Bravo Zulu 8-8 closing electronic brain.

00:04:15Over.

00:04:16Roger. Everything's in your hands again, Al.

00:04:19Thanks for nothing, pal.

00:04:21Hey, we got cargo aboard.

00:04:24We've already been informed.

00:04:26Reporter, eh?

00:04:27Did you wake up yet?

00:04:28No, not yet.

00:04:29I haven't brought him his coffee.

00:04:32Bravo Zulu 8-8 requesting your position.

00:04:36Coordinates pi 2-1, over.

00:04:38Okay.

00:04:39I'll send you the reporter as soon as possible.

00:04:42Bravo Zulu 8-8 closing.

00:04:45Hello, Archie.

00:04:46How you feeling?

00:04:47Man, this time I had a dream.

00:04:48You had a dream?

00:04:49What about?

00:04:50I dreamt I was sleeping.

00:04:51Take over the controls while I wake up the baby.

00:04:54Ah, this is true when we took off.

00:04:55You're saying I'm a lullaby?

00:04:56That's right.

00:04:57Just call me space wet nurse.

00:04:58Next time, why don't you just bring a cow along?

00:04:59A pacifier would do.

00:05:00Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling extra 3-4.

00:05:01Over.

00:05:02Go ahead, Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:05:03Oh.

00:05:04Oh.

00:05:05Oh.

00:05:06Oh.

00:05:07Oh.

00:05:09Oh.

00:05:10Oh.

00:05:13Oh.

00:05:14Oh.

00:05:15Oh.

00:05:16Oh.

00:05:17Oh.

00:05:18Oh.

00:05:19Oh.

00:05:20Oh.

00:05:21Oh.

00:05:22Oh.

00:05:23Oh.

00:05:24Oh.

00:05:25Oh.

00:05:27Oh.

00:05:28Oh.

00:05:29Oh.

00:06:00To come out of a state of hibernation is an eerie sensation.

00:06:12I didn't know who or where I was until I heard Al's voice.

00:06:17Hi there, spaceman.

00:06:22Hello.

00:06:24This was not my first space flight.

00:06:27Previous assignments for my newspaper had sent me to the moon many times,

00:06:32but never into the vast reaches of deep space.

00:06:37I feared that ten days in a cramped ship with a crew of seven men

00:06:41who would resent a reporter's questions and lack of usefulness

00:06:45might make me an unpopular passenger.

00:06:47The coffin was much too small.

00:06:57Couldn't you have found me a bigger one to sleep in?

00:07:00We didn't have one, leech.

00:07:02Why do you call me that?

00:07:06No offense, kid.

00:07:08It just means that here you're a parasite.

00:07:13Where are we now?

00:07:15Outside.

00:07:16Outside what?

00:07:18Outside everything.

00:07:22Breakfast is served.

00:07:25Bravo, Zulu 8-8.

00:07:26You're directly in line with us.

00:07:28We'll send you that reporter as soon as possible.

00:07:32Hey, Al.

00:07:32They're asking for the boy.

00:07:36Hey.

00:07:37Hey, Al.

00:07:38Al, what's happening?

00:07:39We're off to that side.

00:07:41Calm down, my boy.

00:07:43You'll get along fine.

00:07:44Just control your nerves.

00:07:49There.

00:07:51From now on, you'll be able to hear my instructions.

00:07:54Just remember to regulate your volume now.

00:07:56Hey, you're forgetting the tools of your trade.

00:08:17What's the matter, Sonny?

00:08:19Cut it out, Al.

00:08:21Are you scared, son?

00:08:23Stop treating me like a greenhorn.

00:08:26But that's what you are, my boy.

00:08:28I took the accelerated course before I started on this trip.

00:08:31It probably was too quick.

00:08:34I'm not going to take all the air out of the decompression chamber.

00:08:37You'll have an easier exit.

00:08:39I'll give you a count from 20 to 1.

00:08:41And out you go.

00:08:43I know what to do.

00:08:45Son, you don't know anything yet.

00:08:48Don't touch the metal frame around the hatch.

00:08:57Minus 20.

00:08:59Why?

00:09:00Can you see me?

00:09:01No.

00:09:03But the first time out, they all behaved the same way.

00:09:09Minus 15.

00:09:10India Zulu 4-1.

00:09:13You ready?

00:09:145, 1.

00:09:16Wait a second.

00:09:172, 1.

00:09:18Out you go.

00:09:20Al was absolutely right.

00:09:23I was scared.

00:09:24The artificial satellite is like an island in the sky.

00:09:36In order not to disturb its calculated orbital chart,

00:09:39we lined up 2,000 feet parallel to it.

00:09:44The only way to get there

00:09:45was to float through the terrifying void between us.

00:09:49Keep talking, Al.

00:10:10What do you want to hear?

00:10:12Fairy tale?

00:10:13Explain to me what's going on.

00:10:15That's something you'll have to find out for yourself.

00:10:17You're still afraid?

00:10:19Yes.

00:10:21Of what?

00:10:22I don't know.

00:10:25You're still there?

00:10:26Say something.

00:10:29A chilly sense of emptiness.

00:10:32You understand me, Al?

00:10:33Sure, I understand.

00:10:36Every baptism has its mystery,

00:10:39even out here in space.

00:10:40I've never felt so lonely.

00:10:47Hey, Al!

00:10:49Maybe if I try to turn around.

00:10:52I did it!

00:10:54Al!

00:10:55I'm turning!

00:10:57I learned how to...

00:10:58India Zulu 4-1,

00:10:59get back to normal position.

00:11:02You're at the end of your trip.

00:11:03Once aboard Zulu Extra 3-4,

00:11:22once aboard Zulu Extra 3-4,

00:11:24I passed through the decompression chamber.

00:11:27I now regained my normal weight

00:11:30because the gravitational area

00:11:31was similar to our Earth's.

00:11:33The reason for this being

00:11:35all space stations

00:11:37rotate around a central axis.

00:11:39In the ship's cabin,

00:11:52I was met by King 116,

00:11:54the doctor in charge

00:11:56of all crew members'

00:11:57physical and mental health.

00:12:00Take off your space suit

00:12:01and report to the commander.

00:12:02He's waiting for you.

00:12:03Hey, what kind of a guy

00:12:08is our reporter?

00:12:09He still smells earthy.

00:12:11Special correspondent Ray Peters.

00:12:41reporting to the commander.

00:12:45I've heard you're rather famous on Earth.

00:12:48Well, I see my fame

00:12:49has reached the stars.

00:12:51But let me give you a bit of advice.

00:12:53Here among the stars,

00:12:55it is better not to be quite so conscious.

00:12:58You are only here to do a job.

00:13:00Don't worry, that's all I intend to do.

00:13:03On condition that you don't interfere with ours.

00:13:07You've arrived here at a critical moment.

00:13:09So much the better.

00:13:10Peace and tranquility

00:13:11don't have any news value.

00:13:23Sullivan.

00:13:23Yes, sir?

00:13:24How long would it take

00:13:24to reinstall the terminal stages

00:13:26to the spaceship

00:13:26that arrived from Earth just now?

00:13:28That all depends, sir.

00:13:29We only have two mechanics on board.

00:13:31Cancel all rest periods.

00:13:32The ship must be ready

00:13:33as soon as possible.

00:13:34I must go to base 12 on Mars.

00:13:35Yes, sir.

00:13:36You talk about Mars

00:13:38as if it were just down the street.

00:13:41There are no streets here.

00:13:43I firmly oppose your unwelcome visit.

00:13:48Are you trying to flatter me?

00:13:50But the high command refused to listen to me.

00:13:52It's apparent that you have quite a pull there.

00:13:54Not me, but my organization has.

00:13:58Don't forget, Peterson,

00:14:00that everything you put on your tape recorder

00:14:02will have to be sent by me

00:14:03before it's sent back to Earth.

00:14:04Here, everything is regulated by machines.

00:14:07You'll find that things are very different here.

00:14:10You may go now.

00:14:11Later on, you'll be shown to your quarters.

00:14:13Working crew is ready, sir.

00:14:24Any changes?

00:14:28No, Sullivan.

00:14:29Where is everybody going?

00:14:44For a picnic?

00:14:46The working crew is leaving on a space detail.

00:14:48What if I wanted to go along

00:14:50to get some air?

00:14:52You'd have to go and ask the commander

00:14:53for authorization.

00:14:56Is it necessary?

00:14:57Absolutely necessary.

00:14:59Okay.

00:15:07Hoping this special detail

00:15:09might make a good story,

00:15:11I went outside, without permission,

00:15:13to observe and photograph it.

00:15:15This special detail

00:15:17was a refueling operation.

00:15:19One of the most dangerous

00:15:20and delicate operations in space flights.

00:15:23The engineers carried an enormous tube

00:15:25from the space station

00:15:26and carefully attached it

00:15:28to a rear valve on our ship.

00:15:32Thousands of gallons

00:15:33of precious neohydrazine

00:15:35were being pumped into our fuel tanks

00:15:37in order for us to go on to Mars.

00:15:44Look out!

00:15:45The meteorite!

00:15:45Suddenly,

00:15:46I saw a fiery ball

00:15:47racing toward the cosmonaut next to me.

00:15:49Dibbly,

00:15:50I pushed him out of the way.

00:15:51But the subsequent reaction

00:15:52caused me to bounce against

00:15:54the connection of the fuel valve,

00:15:56disconnecting it

00:15:57and letting the irreplaceable

00:15:58neohydrazine escape.

00:15:59Close the fuel valve!

00:16:04Close the fuel valve!

00:16:10Lost.

00:16:13Five hundred gallons of hydrazine.

00:16:19Lost.

00:16:20I'm sorry.

00:16:22Furthermore,

00:16:23you went without my permission.

00:16:26I said I'm sorry,

00:16:28even though I saved a man's life.

00:16:31You didn't come here to be a hero.

00:16:34The damage you have just caused

00:16:36is much more serious

00:16:37than the mere loss of a life.

00:16:40Evidently, Commander,

00:16:41my way of thinking

00:16:42must seem prehistoric to you.

00:16:44I thought nothing was worse

00:16:45than the loss of a human being.

00:16:46But then I only saved a number.

00:16:48Yankee 1-3.

00:16:50I didn't even see his face.

00:16:52Maybe he hasn't got one.

00:16:57I knew that you were

00:16:58going to give me trouble.

00:16:59I see you're a psychologist, too.

00:17:01Now look here, Peterson.

00:17:02Let's get this straight.

00:17:04From now on,

00:17:04you must ask permission

00:17:05for everything you do.

00:17:07And you won't ask me for it.

00:17:08That's an improvement.

00:17:10You'll have to ask

00:17:10my second-in-command.

00:17:12And I'm afraid you'll find

00:17:13that he's tougher than I am.

00:17:15You may go now.

00:17:18You may go.

00:17:21First, Commander,

00:17:22tell me one thing.

00:17:23Why do you deny me

00:17:24the honor of talking to you?

00:17:30I'm leaving, Peterson.

00:17:31I don't know.

00:17:46Hey, buddy.

00:18:04I'm King 116.

00:18:06Pardon me for not having called you by name.

00:18:09Allow me.

00:18:10India Zulu 41.

00:18:12What do you want?

00:18:14I'm looking for someone.

00:18:16Excuse me.

00:18:17I'm looking for a number.

00:18:19Yankee 1-3.

00:18:20He was injured.

00:18:21He should be around here somewhere.

00:18:23Just dismissed.

00:18:24It was nothing but simple shock.

00:18:27Have a look in the biochemical lab.

00:18:29Please excuse my curiosity, Mr. King 116.

00:18:44May I come in?

00:18:45Hey, spaceman.

00:18:56Are you addressing me?

00:18:58Yes, but you're a...

00:19:00Go on.

00:19:02You're a girl.

00:19:03And you're selling flowers, too.

00:19:06There are no flowers here.

00:19:08These are diaspora.

00:19:09Even with a name like that, they're flowers.

00:19:12They serve the purpose of changing hydrogen into breathable oxygen and are as necessary here as the air is on Earth.

00:19:20But I still say they're flowers.

00:19:25If you like.

00:19:27Do you sell them?

00:19:29I'm afraid not.

00:19:31But maybe we can make a deal.

00:19:34What do you mean?

00:19:34Oh, you see.

00:19:36You won't have to send them anywhere.

00:19:39I'll pay for them.

00:19:40But then I'll leave them here for you.

00:19:43Do you work in this section?

00:19:49Sometimes.

00:19:51But I'm really a navigator.

00:19:53When I'm not working with the astro compass, I like to substitute for the section chemist.

00:20:01But tell me, why do you want to offer them to me?

00:20:04Oh, no particular reason.

00:20:05Just to celebrate the second smiling face I've run into.

00:20:09Al's was the first.

00:20:11Now I find you.

00:20:12Speaking of you, what's your name?

00:20:15I don't mean your numbers, serials, codes.

00:20:18But just your name.

00:20:19Lucy.

00:20:21Lucy.

00:20:22Do you like it?

00:20:23It's not bad.

00:20:25My uncle had a mascot with that name.

00:20:28It was quite cute.

00:20:30I liked it very much.

00:20:31It was a monkey.

00:20:34Oh, really.

00:20:35She was very cute.

00:20:36I meant it as a compliment.

00:20:39Very flattering, Mr. Peterson.

00:20:42Do you know my name, too?

00:20:45Of course.

00:20:47I've already heard about you from George.

00:20:50You know, the commander.

00:20:52My old friend.

00:20:53But doesn't the commander have a number like everybody else?

00:20:58Not for me.

00:21:00And now, if you'll forgive me.

00:21:03I've got work to do.

00:21:05Yankee 1-3.

00:21:10I forgot.

00:21:12Thank you, Ray.

00:21:13I really mean thanks.

00:21:17Following the order from the commander, Al came over to our ship to pilot a space taxi

00:21:29from which I could photograph a passage of asteroids.

00:21:32India Zulu 4-1, we just made it.

00:21:35I bet you this was the most interesting action shot of your career.

00:21:40Yeah, shooting these rocks is sure something.

00:21:43They're not rocks, my son.

00:21:45They're asteroids.

00:21:47Each of them 1,700 feet in diameter.

00:21:49The commander bawled me out for the loss of 500 gallons of hydrazine when I saved a life.

00:21:58And a girl's, too.

00:21:59Ah, so you have a weakness for the weakest six.

00:22:02And she doesn't even call him sir.

00:22:04Just George.

00:22:05Buy all our rings around Saturn.

00:22:06They were right when they called you a meddler.

00:22:09Well, he's ashamed of that.

00:22:12Hold tight now.

00:22:12I'm going to make a sharp turn.

00:22:13Who is ashamed?

00:22:20George.

00:22:21You understand him.

00:22:24Is it true that George is leaving?

00:22:26Yes.

00:22:27And Lucy, will she go with him?

00:22:29I'm sorry for you, but that's exactly what she'll do.

00:22:31Something very serious is going on.

00:22:33And all you can talk about is nonsense.

00:22:36We're leaving for Mars.

00:22:37Wait, you too, Al?

00:22:38Yes.

00:22:40Can't you tell me more about it?

00:22:41Top secret.

00:22:41Sulu Extra 3-4 to Space Taxi Bravo 9-1.

00:22:46Hurry back to base.

00:22:47Over.

00:22:47Roger from Bravo 9-1.

00:22:51Al, can I radio my Earth base?

00:22:53Sure.

00:22:54You think you're still living back in the 21st century?

00:22:57Thanks.

00:22:58You better lower your head now.

00:22:59We're moving back into the satellite.

00:23:02I wanted to join this Mars expedition.

00:23:05Only an order from the high command on Earth

00:23:07could persuade the commander to take me with him.

00:23:10I don't understand.

00:23:11What's making the pilot so late?

00:23:14He promised to join us immediately, sir.

00:23:16Al's really a strange type.

00:23:18He's the best there is.

00:23:19I'm sorry to be late, sir.

00:23:28We've been waiting for you.

00:23:30The situation has become worse.

00:23:32We've got to leave immediately.

00:23:34And you haven't been able to contact Alpha 2?

00:23:36No.

00:23:38Alpha 2 does not answer.

00:23:40We think the pilot may be dead.

00:23:42This could mean the end.

00:23:51That's what I'm afraid of.

00:23:54India Zulu 4-1 wishes to speak with you, sir.

00:23:57Let him talk to the second in command.

00:23:59You take care of him, Sullivan.

00:24:01He refuses to do so.

00:24:03He says he has a very urgent communication for you.

00:24:06Send him in.

00:24:06That's all we needed.

00:24:14This inquisitive, interfering meddler.

00:24:18He's a pretty nice guy.

00:24:21Do you think so?

00:24:22This is absurd.

00:24:44Commander, you are insulting the high command.

00:24:48Absolutely against all regulations.

00:24:50Any more criticisms?

00:24:51Yes.

00:24:52So have I.

00:24:54But I keep them to myself.

00:25:00Gentlemen.

00:25:02Prepare to leave.

00:25:13Yankee 1-3.

00:25:15One moment, please.

00:25:16Yes.

00:25:20What is it, George?

00:25:22That man, Peterson, has persuaded the high command to let him come with us.

00:25:29It's an order.

00:25:30Aren't you exaggerating?

00:25:34I can't increase the crew.

00:25:37Can't you do without the radio operator?

00:25:39We'll get along just as well.

00:25:41No.

00:25:41I would not want my choice influenced by opinions that are not objective.

00:25:54Anyway, I think I could get along better without a navigator than without a radio operator.

00:26:01If I weren't the navigator.

00:26:02If I weren't the navigator, then would you give up taking one with you?

00:26:08Perhaps not.

00:26:09Perhaps not.

00:26:10Perhaps not.

00:26:11You see, you're not being objective.

00:26:14Besides, I don't want to be left behind, George.

00:26:17It's not that I'd pretend to be of more value than the high command is, but I'm not of less value either.

00:26:24You aren't giving me an order, are you?

00:26:25No, I'm just begging you.

00:26:30I understand you, George.

00:26:33I know that you always try to be worthy of your position, but you'd be better off if for once you try...

00:26:40What?

00:26:41To be worthy of yourself.

00:26:42I'm sorry, George.

00:26:55Lucy's plea to the commander was effective.

00:27:14When we left the artificial satellite and returned to our spaceship, Bravo Zulu 8-8, Lucy was aboard and set our course for Mars.

00:27:23Is the nose still turned up?

00:27:25Don't be silly.

00:27:27The nose of a spaceship is always up, even when landing.

00:27:30He's not referring to the spaceship, Al.

00:27:32He's talking about me.

00:27:33My congratulations, Commander.

00:27:35Listen, Peterson.

00:27:37Remember, you're extraneous here, so please keep to your place.

00:27:40What place?

00:27:42I don't even have a chair to sit on.

00:27:45Look, there are two cuts in there that you can use when we haven't a chance to rest.

00:27:49Oh, while the rest of you are working, I'm supposed to sleep.

00:27:52There are times when old children should go to bed.

00:27:55Yeah.

00:28:01Listen.

00:28:02Ever since we came on this trip, you've all done your very best to make me feel like an outsider.

00:28:09My congratulations, Peterson.

00:28:11What the devil is going on?

00:28:30I don't know, sir.

00:28:32It looks like it might be a magnetic stone.

00:28:34Impossible.

00:28:35Listen to the wave boom, sir.

00:28:37Look, Captain.

00:28:38Give me its position.

00:28:51Coordinate 113.

00:28:53Inertial position of object 512.

00:28:57Try to establish contact.

00:28:58It looks like a moon ship.

00:28:59Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:29:04Bravo Zulu 8-8 to unidentified object.

00:29:07Over.

00:29:11They're asking for help, sir.

00:29:13Switch to voice circuit.

00:29:14Metro Sierra 1-3.

00:29:26Metro Sierra 1-3 to Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:29:29Over.

00:29:30Bravo Zulu 8-8 to Metro Sierra 1-3.

00:29:32Go ahead.

00:29:33Over.

00:29:33Tanks are exploded.

00:29:35Engines have failed.

00:29:36We're out of control and being attracted to Mars.

00:29:38Over.

00:29:39Try to get back into the orbit around Mars.

00:29:42We'll attempt rescue.

00:29:44What caused the explosion?

00:29:45Over.

00:29:46Impossible to say.

00:29:47A sudden rush of hot air overpowering us.

00:29:49The instruments have gone crazy.

00:29:51The tanks have exploded.

00:29:52The structure's melted in several places.

00:29:54What about the crew?

00:29:56Three of us left, sir.

00:30:00One dead.

00:30:01The engineer.

00:30:03Put on your spacesuits and stand by for immediate bailout as soon as you enter orbit.

00:30:07Radio out.

00:30:09Disconnect the voice circuit.

00:30:13Do you think they'll make it?

00:30:14That's what I'm checking now.

00:30:17Are you thinking the same thing I am now?

00:30:20They can't make it.

00:30:21Why not?

00:30:26No.

00:30:27We won't be able to make it.

00:30:29One of Mars' satellites is crossing our path.

00:30:31Driving engines again.

00:30:39David.

00:30:40David.

00:30:45David.

00:30:46Don't.

00:30:48Don't, David.

00:30:49It's suicide.

00:30:50Don't jump.

00:30:52I don't feel like ending my days in a trap.

00:30:54David, don't.

00:30:55David, don't.

00:31:04What are you doing?

00:31:07Can you make it?

00:31:12I'm climbing.

00:31:14One of my engines had started.

00:31:16I'm climbing.

00:31:17I can make it! I'm getting lighter! I can make it!

00:31:25No!

00:31:29Start the engines to get ready for a vertical landing.

00:31:35We will fly above Bobos.

00:31:47Now, engines at seven gammas.

00:32:05Now, engines at eight gammas.

00:32:11Look there to the right.

00:32:15Why?

00:32:17Perhaps.

00:32:31Engines at 11 gammas.

00:32:33General's are locked. Move into vertical position.

00:32:45Engines at 12 gammas.

00:32:49Engines at 12 gammas.

00:32:51What's going on?

00:32:53We're going down.

00:32:55But it's insane.

00:32:57With all stages full of fuel, we're like a bomb.

00:33:01Landing area at two degrees off our coordinates.

00:33:05Engines at 14 gammas.

00:33:09Engines at four RPM.

00:33:11Engines at 12.

00:33:13Engines at three top of fuel.

00:33:15Engines at four RPM.

00:33:17Engines at three.

00:33:19Engines at four RPMs.

00:33:21Engines at four.

00:33:23Engines at four.

00:33:27Engines at four.

00:33:29That's enough!

00:33:31...

00:33:33Ready to go!

00:33:35Nine degrees to start.

00:34:05One more and we would have remained here forever.

00:34:24He's still alive.

00:34:25Let's hurry up.

00:34:26Captain, we're coming in.

00:34:29Lucy, keep the gyros working.

00:34:32As soon as they're inside, we'll get out of here.

00:34:35You stay here and look after it.

00:34:45I'll take care of the entrance.

00:34:50Gyros unlocked.

00:34:52Roger.

00:34:52gesture.

00:34:54Fire.

00:35:17Fire.

00:35:18How is that I think you hold out till we get to Mars we're almost there anyway aren't we

00:35:33no what do you mean no we've changed course we're now heading for Venus you're what

00:35:39a direct order from the high command and you accepted it

00:35:44do you realize commander there's a dying man in there I don't have to account to you for my actions

00:36:03look captain I'm picking up an area of intense heat it's almost as hot as the botanic field of

00:36:10the Sun itself turn on the safety system I think you should tell him sir it's no longer top-secret

00:36:19alpha 2 propelled by photonic energy is now without a pilot she is floating in space and is only

00:36:28controlled by the electronic brain the photonic heat which our radar has picked up as the power

00:36:34destruction and alpha 2 has re-entered the solar system during the Sun's next revolution she will

00:36:43start to orbit around the earth and will destroy it completely burning everything and eliminating all

00:36:49forms of life have we any hope of stopping her that's why we're going to Venus it's the nearest

00:36:58point to the elliptical path of alpha 2 we have that one chance in a million our world was in danger

00:37:11about to be destroyed perhaps in a few days maybe in a few hours it was up to us a handful of cosmonauts

00:37:19from earth millions of miles away to try and save humanity Lucy you're crying

00:37:34those dark spots those continents and there are the oceans and the trees you can't see them in my mind I

00:37:45can I'd like to run down a road that's a lot of pine trees would you yes and feel just once again the

00:37:54excitement of speed but we're already running at 90,000 miles an hour and we're standing still

00:38:01that's nothing but an illusion do you know what day it is don't you know that in space we don't count the

00:38:12days no but do you know what date it is it's the 359th of rotation around the Sun that's just part of

00:38:21it it's Christmas Lucy

00:38:42we started to land at the interplanetary base on Venus the largest the best equipped base closest to

00:38:49alpha 2 from there alpha 2 could be intercepted and we hoped destroyed by the remote controlled atomic

00:38:57missiles

00:39:10hey Archie is that the base yes right under the protective dome is too much hydrogen and Venus's atmosphere

00:39:18from here it looks like the glass dome of a temple you don't need a respirator inside

00:39:25what about those plots are they purifying filters hey that already across the showing results isn't it

00:39:31tell me why is it that with him wants to protect himself he hides himself under a dome

00:39:36put on your helmet kid

00:39:39I'm going to take you on a quick tour of Venus only this time it won't be for sightseeing

00:39:43emergency action was taken immediately by firing an atomic missile at alpha 2 in an attempt to destroy

00:39:54this deadly mechanical monster eight thousand five hundred eight thousand miles seven thousand five

00:40:02hundred seven thousand miles six thousand five hundred six thousand miles five thousand eight hundred

00:40:11five thousand five five thousand five thousand five thousand five thousand five thousand five thousand miles

00:40:18five thousand miles

00:40:20hold on disintegrated exactly at five thousand miles

00:40:26we'll have a chance to hit her only if the electronic brain which propels her has gone out of control

00:40:36you see the two photonic generators which are moving gyroscopically at each end of the spaceship are creating around alpha 2 an invisible sphere of heat

00:40:47which radiates up to five thousand miles

00:40:51we've just had the proof of it

00:40:54it's indestructible though one of man's dreams has finally come true an indestructible destroyer

00:41:01unless we have a sudden change in the next solar system revolution

00:41:08alpha 2 will start orbiting around the earth

00:41:11at only thirty five hundred miles from it

00:41:14that means fifteen hundred miles within the safety limit

00:41:18in a few days maybe a few hours

00:41:23our planet will become a mass of boiling mud

00:41:26as it was soon after its formation

00:41:30we mustn't give up hope something might stop it in time

00:41:33maybe a miracle

00:41:38and while we're waiting here for your miracle

00:41:41I would suggest

00:41:42we immediately put into operation all the means at our disposal

00:41:46they've already prepared to fire missiles from the other hemisphere

00:41:49meanwhile why don't you order your men

00:41:51to reach the audio stations on the beach

00:41:54you stand by electronic telescope number seven

00:42:00six thousand eight hundred

00:42:03five thousand seven hundred

00:42:08five thousand two hundred

00:42:10five thousand four thousand five hundred

00:42:13four thousand three thousand seven hundred

00:42:15two thousand nine hundred

00:42:17two thousand two hundred

00:42:20I don't understand

00:42:27with your permission sir I have an explanation

00:42:29what is it

00:42:31I think I've found the answer

00:42:33tell it to us

00:42:34I'm sure that due to some technical error

00:42:37that spaceship is vulnerable

00:42:39the two photonic deflectors at both

00:42:42her ability

00:42:43two semispheres separated in their fields by a channel

00:42:47you mean like a halved orange

00:42:49a perfect example my son

00:42:51that's why a missile has gone through

00:42:53according to you it was the only one fired exactly into the center of the channel

00:42:57but why did the last one disintegrate at twenty two hundred miles

00:43:00because of some imperceptible deviation

00:43:02perhaps it was attracted by one of the photonic fields

00:43:04which is right Al there's still a chance

00:43:09what chance

00:43:11we'd have to fire on a straight line

00:43:14from another spaceship traveling alongside alpha 2 at the same rate of speed

00:43:18I think I've earned the right to try sir

00:43:20why the right

00:43:21because if my hunch turns out to be correct

00:43:24I'd like to be the one to receive the credit

00:43:27and if it's wrong

00:43:29you want to be the one to risk it

00:43:31there's an old atomic spaceship here sir

00:43:34I'll use its remote controlled missiles

00:43:37may I go ahead sir

00:43:42yes

00:43:44and I hope you'll manage to save humanity

00:43:52we'll take off and follow you as close as possible Al

00:43:55all of us

00:43:57as if we were right there with you

00:44:00all of us

00:44:08hey Ray

00:44:09now you have a chance to do a real exclusive

00:47:03Zulu extra 3-4, go ahead.

00:47:05Captain, this is Sullivan.

00:47:06What's the trouble, Sullivan?

00:47:07About 45 seconds ago, a photonic field around spaceship Alpha 2 came into collision with the asteroids.

00:47:15Well then?

00:47:16Alpha 2 has changed her course by 6 degrees in respect to Vega.

00:47:21I'm afraid she'll enter orbit around the Earth before the estimated time.

00:47:28Can you ascertain her present position?

00:47:31Yes, I can.

00:47:32High coordinate 27 degrees.

00:47:35Movement of ellipses gradually advancing.

00:47:38Look out!

00:47:39It's coming towards you!

00:47:46Yes, sir.

00:47:48It will be on top of us any minute.

00:47:51What about the men, Sullivan?

00:47:53They are all on standby, sir.

00:47:57Two mechanics went out of the space taxi to Solar Mirror Foxtrot 1-2.

00:48:02I ordered them not to come back.

00:48:04Commander, see if you can save them.

00:48:09Sullivan, save yourself!

00:48:11Sullivan!

00:48:12It's too late, sir.

00:48:15Sullivan!

00:48:16Sullivan!

00:48:18Can you hear me?

00:48:21Sullivan!

00:48:23Sullivan!

00:48:24Sullivan!

00:48:33Sullivan!

00:48:36Sullivan!

00:48:38Sullivan!

00:48:39Don't forget Sullivan and your scoop write this. He was never afraid since man even in space changes his position but not his character. He is what he is wherever he lives.

00:49:00What's he mean?

00:49:04What you're always saying, to himself, every man is a whole world.

00:49:21Commander, I've been able to locate the position of the space taxi.

00:49:26Tell it to me.

00:49:28Coordinate pi 28 8 degrees in respect to Aldebaran.

00:49:33We're changing course and we'll try to rescue the survivors.

00:49:42Bravo Zulu 8 8 to space taxi Bravo 9 1.

00:49:46We're coming in to rescue you. Be ready to bail out.

00:49:50Out.

00:49:59We will begin to rescue you. Be ready to bail out.

00:50:03Out.

00:50:19The commander says your boys should rest.

00:50:21No, Ray. Show them in here.

00:50:29I just wanted to see you, boys.

00:50:39Mary.

00:50:41Jackson.

00:50:43I'm glad to see you.

00:50:46Go and get some rest now.

00:50:59You can, sir.

00:51:00I'll get some rest.

00:51:13How do you like that, Jackson?

00:51:14He called us boys.

00:51:17How do you like that, Jackson?

00:51:27He called us boys.

00:51:29Yeah, and he even remembered our names.

00:51:32I didn't think he even knew.

00:51:36Sir, I'm now 7,000 miles from Alpha 2.

00:51:47In a few seconds, I'll start firing the rockets.

00:52:035,000 miles.

00:52:064,500.

00:52:104,000.

00:52:123,500.

00:52:163,000.

00:52:17It's disintegrated.

00:52:23I'll try again.

00:52:315,000.

00:52:334,500.

00:52:354,000.

00:52:363,500.

00:52:373,000.

00:52:382,500.

00:52:402,000.

00:52:411,500.

00:52:431,000.

00:52:44900.

00:52:45800.

00:52:45Going to make it.

00:52:47700.

00:52:48600.

00:52:49500.

00:52:50400.

00:52:51300.

00:52:522,000.

00:52:57Fire another rocket.

00:52:58I'm getting near it, sir.

00:53:10It's too dangerous, Al.

00:53:11Stop.

00:53:12You'll be attracted by the botanic fields.

00:53:14I've located the channel.

00:53:16I'll try to break through it, Commander.

00:53:18I'm sure that I can get at least 1,500 miles away from the spaceship.

00:53:22Come back, Al.

00:53:23It's murder.

00:53:24I'm 2,000 miles away from Alpha 2 now, sir.

00:53:27Let me try.

00:53:29Al, that's an order.

00:53:30I'm sorry, sir.

00:53:32But I'm not taking orders anymore.

00:53:34It's a useless sacrifice.

00:53:37Son, I'm 1,200 miles away from you.

00:53:42I don't want to disillusion you.

00:53:43But what would be the use of living if the Earth were destroyed?

00:53:49We'd all be prisoners of space with no hope of return.

00:53:56800 miles.

00:53:57Al, please.

00:53:59After 200 miles, you'll have only a very slight chance to keep on a steady course.

00:54:03That slight chance challenges me to try.

00:54:05I don't want to disillusion you.

00:54:35I don't know what you're doing.

00:54:36Maybe not, Commander.

00:54:38No.

00:54:38But in a few seconds, I'll know for sure.

00:54:57Al has succeeded in proving the existence of a channel.

00:55:01by the sacrifice of his own life.

00:55:05But we still haven't got a chance.

00:55:08There's nothing for us to do but follow his lead.

00:55:11But how, Lucy?

00:55:13Commander, why don't you request more spaceships equipped with missiles?

00:55:17It's too late now.

00:55:18They'd never get here in time.

00:55:22Well, then...

00:55:23I don't know.

00:55:24What's that object that keeps appearing on the screen?

00:55:26What's that object that keeps appearing on the screen?

00:55:30It's the space taxi from the disintegrated satellite.

00:55:36It's now circling in orbit around us.

00:55:45The space taxi.

00:55:51I rode on it once with Al.

00:55:56I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:00I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:01I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:02I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:03I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:07Are you afraid, Lucy?

00:56:21Yes, for him.

00:56:22I understand.

00:56:23I love him, George.

00:56:24I know.

00:56:25But love has no meaning anymore, George.

00:56:28Does it?

00:56:29Perhaps it's the only thing that does matter.

00:56:34The world of human beings is the only thing that matters.

00:56:49The world of human feelings has been much less explored

00:56:55than the whole of the universe put together.

00:57:01But now it's late.

00:57:04What have we been doing all these thousands of years?

00:57:09We've been congratulating ourselves on our progress

00:57:12and going faster and faster and faster.

00:57:16When in reality, we've only been getting further away from ourselves.

00:57:34Lucy, take my place, will you?

00:57:39Where do you think you're going?

00:58:05Out, in the space taxi.

00:58:08That's madness.

00:58:09Maybe so, but it's not half as mad as the idea that brought us to this point.

00:58:12You are staying here.

00:58:14Listen.

00:58:15Lucy loves you.

00:58:17And Lucy has been and is everything in the world that matters to me.

00:58:22You may not understand it, but for that very reason, I will stop you from going to certain death.

00:58:28Why stop me?

00:58:29We are all going to get killed anyway.

00:58:31I'm going to stop you even if I have to use force.

00:58:35To use force.

00:58:36To use force.

00:58:37To use force.

00:58:38To use force.

00:58:42To use force.

00:58:43I've done something practical.

00:58:44To need a birthday going to retire everywhere.

00:58:45I will not see them all.

00:58:46To finish card with your goals.

00:58:47What's the matter?

00:59:12He's going to make it.

00:59:24He's picked up the botanic field alongside the channel.

00:59:38To find my way through the channel, I had to throw to the right and left any loose objects

00:59:47in the space taxi in order to judge the distance between the two curtains of disintegration.

00:59:53Look, it's insane.

01:00:02The channel is getting down.

01:00:05Every second.

01:00:07What's he throwing out?

01:00:08Clubs, transistors, the spare parts from the mechanic's tool kit.

01:00:12Charge.

01:00:13I'm going to make it.

01:00:14I'll get through.

01:00:15Go on, Ray.

01:00:16Go on.

01:00:17You're nearly there.

01:00:19I don't have anything else to throw out.

01:00:20Get rid of everything which isn't essential.

01:00:21Quick.

01:00:22Quick.

01:00:23I don't have anything else to throw out.

01:00:25Get rid of everything which isn't essential.

01:00:27Quick.

01:00:29Quick.

01:00:30The path is clear.

01:00:31Charge.

01:00:32I'm going through.

01:00:33I'm going through.

01:00:34I don't have anything else to throw out.

01:00:35I don't have anything else to throw out.

01:00:36Get rid of everything which isn't essential.

01:00:37Quick.

01:00:38The path is clear.

01:00:39Charge.

01:00:40I'm going through.

01:00:42The path is clear.

01:00:56Charge.

01:00:57I'm going through.

01:01:12Heavy.

01:01:13Ready.

01:01:15Hurry.

01:01:16Don't lose time.

01:01:18The hatch is above you, right in the middle of the sphere.

01:01:34It's clear.

01:01:39Ray, can you hear me?

01:01:58Ray, answer me.

01:02:01Go ahead, George. I'm listening.

01:02:03Get into the pilot seat and disconnect the electronic brain.

01:02:08It should be on the left-hand panel.

01:02:11Turn off everything else.

01:02:22The pilot's still inside the hibernation cell.

01:02:26Dead.

01:02:27Disconnect all contacts on the left-hand panel.

01:02:38George, they're already disconnected.

01:02:42The electronic brain.

01:02:44Ray, you must disconnect the electronic brain.

01:02:56I'm standing in front of it.

01:02:58What should I do?

01:03:00Destroy it.

01:03:02Disconnect the cables.

01:03:03I can't.

01:03:19They won't come loose.

01:03:24He can cut them.

01:03:25There are emergency tools right under the footrest of the pilot's seat.

01:03:28Did you hear Ray?

01:03:29Under the footrest.

01:03:31All right.

01:03:33Quick.

01:03:34You'd better hurry, sir.

01:03:36We're entering the Earth's gravity zone.

01:03:39Our speed is increasing.

01:03:41Use a pair of wire cutters.

01:03:44Come on, George.

01:03:46Now cut the wires.

01:03:57I'm cutting through the last wire.

01:03:59The ray's deflector has stopped.

01:04:12Maybe we've made it.

01:04:16How can you prove that the photonic field has been disintegrated?

01:04:20There's only one way of telling for certain.

01:04:25We're coming in.

01:04:26We're getting through it.

01:04:51Ray, we're coming.

01:04:53The nightmare is over.

01:04:54Hurry up, Ray.

01:04:59Hurry up, Ray.

01:05:01We're coming.

01:05:01Get ready to be rescued.

01:05:13We're along, Sergeant Ray.

01:05:15Bail out.

01:05:15George, Lucy.

01:05:26The external hatch is jammed.

01:05:28It won't open.

01:05:30It will never open again.

01:05:31Never.

01:05:33Try again, Ray.

01:05:34Try.

01:05:34Quick.

01:05:37He can't open it.

01:05:39He cut the cables.

01:05:41There's no more power inside the ship.

01:05:48Earth Base 9.

01:05:50Earth Base 9.

01:05:51Earth Base 9 to Bravo Zulu 8-8.

01:05:53Can you hear us?

01:05:54Over.

01:05:56Bravo Zulu 8-8 to Earth Base 9.

01:05:59Go ahead.

01:06:00Are you all going insane up there?

01:06:03If you keep racing that fast, you'll disintegrate when you reach the Earth's atmosphere.

01:06:07Separate and change your course immediately.

01:06:10Alpha 2 is out of control.

01:06:13There's a man inside.

01:06:17We're going down to try to rescue him.

01:06:21Space suit's on.

01:06:22A loophole.

01:06:29Lucy.

01:06:30Take my place.

01:06:39We'll manage.

01:06:51Ray.

01:06:52Ray?

01:06:53Lucy.

01:06:54George and the others are coming to get you out.

01:06:57I can't hold out any longer.

01:07:00I can't control the oxygen flow.

01:07:02Use the regulator, Ray.

01:07:04I don't have it anymore.

01:07:07It was the last thing I threw out into space.

01:07:10Ray, you must hold out.

01:07:14Bravo, Zulu 8-8.

01:07:16Bravo, Zulu 8-8.

01:07:18Are you listening?

01:07:20Roger.

01:07:21Go ahead.

01:07:22This is an order from the High Command.

01:07:24Stop rescue of Alpha 2 pilot.

01:07:27Change your course immediately or you'll soon enter the atmosphere.

01:07:31Repeat.

01:07:32This is an order from the High Command.

01:07:35They don't know what they're talking about.

01:07:38They don't know what would have happened if Ray...

01:07:41Establish contact again.

01:07:43And we'll stay as close as possible.

01:07:48Ray, we're very close now.

01:07:50The men are now going out.

01:07:54Too much air.

01:07:55An orgy of air.

01:07:57My thoughts are running wild.

01:07:59Talk to me, Lucy.

01:08:00Lucy.

01:08:02Lucy.

01:08:03Lucy.

01:08:04Lucy.

01:08:05Lucy.

01:08:07Lucy.

01:08:08Lucy.

01:08:20Where are you, Lucy?

01:08:25Here, beside you.

01:08:29Quick, the cold way port here.

01:08:37What's the use of trying to save the world, Lucy?

01:08:41If I'm going to be lost myself.

01:08:45No, you can't say this, Ray.

01:08:47Ray, you believed more than any of us.

01:08:52Truly believed, Ray.

01:09:00Ray, Ray, answer me.

01:09:03I believed, but there's no faith

01:09:06that can destroy the fear of death.

01:09:13Ray, Ray, hang on.

01:09:17Good-bye, Lucy.

01:09:33Lucy, we're inside.

01:09:38Be ready to turn the ship.

01:09:39I'll tell you when to start the engine.

01:09:41Gyros unlocked.

01:09:43We're in, Lucy.

01:09:44Be ready.

01:09:47Contact.

01:09:49I'll tell you when to start the engine.

01:09:51We're in, Lucy.

01:09:52Be ready.

01:09:55Contact.

01:09:57We're in, Lucy.

01:09:58We're in, Lucy.

01:09:59Be ready.

01:10:02Contact.

01:10:26We've made it, Lucy.

01:10:27Engines at maximum speed.

01:10:28We've made it, Lucy.

01:10:29We've made it, Lucy.

01:10:30Engines at maximum speed.

01:10:56Now, you're really worthy of your seat, George.

01:11:09That's the Earth.

01:11:26Coming in.

01:11:28Go away.

01:11:32Go away.

01:11:38Be ready.

01:11:46New mo stretched again
