00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30The End
00:01:59Blood Pressure Slightly High
00:02:07Nothing to be alarmed about
00:02:09Quite understandable under a circumstance
00:02:11The weaker sex
00:02:12The only one whose blood pressure is normal
00:02:14X minus 17 minutes
00:02:17With you in the assembly hall in another minute
00:02:20Shall we go?
00:02:22Good luck
00:02:22Thank you, Doctor
00:02:23Good night
00:02:24Thank you, Doctor, and good night
00:02:24Thank you
00:02:25Thank you
00:02:26Thank you
00:02:52X minus 16 minutes
00:02:56X minus 16 minutes
00:02:56Ladies and gentlemen
00:03:14Every news service and newspaper is represented here tonight
00:03:18And for your cooperation in the past when complete secrecy was vital
00:03:23We are grateful
00:03:24However, I must make something clear
00:03:28Although ours is not strictly a military project
00:03:33A great deal of our research and knowledge
00:03:35Falls within security regulations
00:03:38Therefore, I must insist
00:03:40That you reveal only such information as appears in the authorized press release
00:03:46Which will be handed to you later
00:03:48I'm sure that we can all recall the wild tales of the flying discs, flying saucers, spaceships
00:03:55And who knows what imaginative creations
00:03:58The press is to be commended for discounting in most instances these premature rumors
00:04:03And so helping to minimize public apprehension
00:04:06Tonight you are invited here to witness an important event
00:04:11You are all familiar with our previous work in sending robot missiles into space
00:04:16That phase is at an end
00:04:19Tonight we will launch the first manned spaceship
00:04:25The RXM
00:04:28Rocket Ship Expedition Moon
00:04:32X minus 15 minutes
00:04:34Forever man has dreamed of visiting the nearest of heavenly bodies
00:04:40Some for adventurous, fantastic reasons
00:04:43Others like ourselves because they visualized a successful lunar expedition
00:04:50As the first step toward practical interplanetary travel
00:04:54Today there is even the possibility
00:04:58That an unassailable base could be established on the moon
00:05:02To control world peace
00:05:04I will now introduce to you the head of this expedition and his crew
00:05:10Dr. Carl Ekstrom
00:05:12Designer of the RXM
00:05:14And as you all know
00:05:16One of the most brilliant physicists of the day
00:05:18And an old friend
00:05:20Dr. Lisa Van Horn
00:05:22His most able co-worker and assistant
00:05:25Doctor of chemistry
00:05:27Colonel Floyd Graham
00:05:30Pilot
00:05:31Mr. Harry Chamberlain
00:05:33Astronomer
00:05:34Of the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatory staffs
00:05:38Mr. Chamberlain will serve as navigator
00:05:40Major
00:05:41William Corrigan
00:05:43Engineer
00:05:44I shall now ask Dr. Ekstrom
00:05:46To outline the flight plan for you
00:05:48Carl
00:05:49X minus 14 minutes
00:05:54The distance between the earth and the moon
00:06:02At its closest proximity
00:06:04Is 238,000 miles
00:06:06We expect to cover this distance
00:06:08In approximately 48 hours
00:06:10The first phase of our flight
00:06:12Will be the ascent
00:06:13To an altitude of 300 miles
00:06:16From the start
00:06:18While we pass through the troposphere and stratosphere
00:06:20Until we reach the ionosphere
00:06:21The flight will be controlled by our automatic pilot
00:06:24After we have climbed through the atmosphere
00:06:27We will turn the rocket
00:06:28Into a parallel course with the surface of the earth
00:06:32In flying parallel with the earth's surface
00:06:36We receive added boost from its rotation
00:06:39X minus 13 minutes
00:06:44The RXM is what is known as a multistage or step rocket
00:06:50Upon reaching escape velocity
00:06:52The tail section
00:06:53Which is housed the fuel to attain this speed
00:06:55Will be jettisoned
00:06:57The nose section
00:06:58Which is a complete rocket
00:06:59Containing enough fuel for the entire trip
00:07:01And also containing our cabin
00:07:03Overcomes the gravitational pull of the earth
00:07:06And heads in the direction of the moon
00:07:08After we have passed the equilibrium point
00:07:11Where the earth and the moon's gravities are in balance
00:07:14We will reduce power to a minimum
00:07:16The moon's attraction will carry us the rest of the way
00:07:20Finally, we will reverse the rocket
00:07:24Utilizing the thrust of its motors to make our landing
00:07:28A few more details which might interest you
00:07:33The cabin is pressurized and gyro controlled
00:07:37Keeping us in a level position at all times
00:07:39We carry radar for navigation
00:07:42Shortwave for communication
00:07:44And most important
00:07:46More than twice the amount of fuel we expect to use
00:07:48To keep well within the margin of safety
00:07:50X minus 12 minutes
00:07:52We still have a few moments, ladies and gentlemen
00:07:55For questions, if any of you care for me
00:07:57Mr. Chamberlain
00:08:04How do you fit into the picture?
00:08:08Do you, uh, do you have any family?
00:08:11No, I've been living on mountaintops
00:08:12I'm afraid it's too lonely for such opportunities
00:08:15Have you ever done me flying?
00:08:17Only as a passenger
00:08:18But, uh, you're the navigator
00:08:20You must realize that intersolar flight
00:08:22Requires far more exact and precise navigation
00:08:25Than any earthbound voyage
00:08:26Of course, that's incidental
00:08:28It is?
00:08:29Yes
00:08:29You see, as an astronomer
00:08:31I can appreciate the perfect observation conditions
00:08:33On a body without atmosphere
00:08:35Such as our moon
00:08:36Do you realize that within one hour
00:08:38Oh, I've got about 800 head grazing down there
00:08:40I bought my ranch with the flight pay
00:08:42I saved up during the war
00:08:43Mm-hmm
00:08:44How does your wife feel about your going?
00:08:46Well, she's a Texan, too
00:08:48And, well, she knows that when a Texas man
00:08:50Makes up his mind to do something
00:08:51That's it
00:08:52Period
00:08:53Say, I wish you fellas could have seen her face
00:08:56So when I walked in and told her
00:08:57In the, uh, strictest confidence, of course
00:09:00Honey, I'm going to the moon
00:09:02What did she say?
00:09:03Well, she, she looked at me for a second
00:09:06And then said
00:09:06What for?
00:09:08They ain't got nothing there
00:09:08That we don't have more of
00:09:09Right here in Texas
00:09:10We've already made the trip a hundred times
00:09:14What?
00:09:15In the training room
00:09:16Yeah, I've done more flying this last month
00:09:19And I've done over a hundred missions
00:09:20And believe me
00:09:22This is the hottest crew I've ever worked with
00:09:24Especially in the brains department
00:09:26Yeah, very attractive, too
00:09:29Yeah, I agree
00:09:31But, uh, and you can quote me on this
00:09:33Unless you look like a test tube
00:09:35Or a chemical formula
00:09:36You haven't got a chance
00:09:37From the woman's angle, Dr. Van Horn
00:09:40How does it feel making a trip like this
00:09:42Alone with four men?
00:09:43To tell you the truth, I
00:09:45I never thought much about it
00:09:47Well, tell me, doctor
00:09:49Is there any specific reason
00:09:50Why one member of the crew
00:09:51Should be a woman?
00:09:53I'd like to answer that, if I may
00:09:54Certainly
00:09:55The reason Miss Van Horn
00:09:56Is making this trip
00:09:57Is because of her pioneering research
00:09:59With monatomic hydrogen
00:10:00It enabled her to develop
00:10:01The first rocket fuel
00:10:02Powerful and concentrated enough
00:10:04To make this flight possible
00:10:05X minus eleven minutes
00:10:07Ladies and gentlemen
00:10:09We are pressed for time
00:10:10You may view the takeoff
00:10:11From the observation bunker
00:10:13And return to this room
00:10:14Immediately afterward
00:10:15Everybody return here
00:10:17After the takeoff
00:10:18X minus seven minutes
00:10:38Gyro control and compass
00:10:44Okay
00:10:45Batteries all up
00:10:46Autopilot's okay
00:10:47Everything's in order
00:10:48Let's go
00:10:49I've checked these calculations
00:10:51Many times
00:10:52They're perfectly correct
00:10:53Oh, yes
00:10:54All commercial flights
00:10:55Have been detoured
00:10:56One hundred miles south
00:10:57Thank you
00:10:57Well, I can't think
00:11:00Of anything we've overlooked
00:11:01All we need now
00:11:02Is a little luck
00:11:03It doesn't seem real
00:11:04That the moment
00:11:05Finally has arrived
00:11:06After all these years
00:11:07Has been a long time
00:11:08A long time
00:11:09For two men
00:11:09To work together
00:11:10Remember when we started
00:11:12What they called us
00:11:13Young crackpots
00:11:15Yes, and what are we now
00:11:16Maybe just crackpots
00:11:18The only regret I have
00:11:20Is that I must stay behind
00:11:21Your job is no less important
00:11:24Robert
00:11:24I know, but still
00:11:26X minus six minutes
00:11:27Carl
00:11:30Good luck
00:11:32Good luck, everybody
00:11:35Good luck
00:11:50X minus five minutes.
00:12:20Better take one more look. We won't be as close as this to Mother Earth for some time.
00:12:39We'll give the motors the final one, sir.
00:12:50X minus four minutes.
00:13:20Motor room seal.
00:13:24Everything in order.
00:13:32X minus three minutes.
00:13:36No change of flight plans discussed.
00:13:38First seven minutes of flight controlled by automatic pilot.
00:13:41Pilot's ready.
00:13:43Seven minutes straight ascent.
00:13:45Straight ascent from starting point.
00:13:47Starting thrusts using all tail assembly engines, 2300 tons.
00:13:51Right.
00:13:54Fuel mixture?
00:13:56Hydrogen and oxygen plus A12.
00:13:58After 120 seconds, hydrogen and oxygen plus A14.
00:14:02After 340 seconds, hydrogen plus A16.
00:14:05After 560 seconds, A16.
00:14:08Right.
00:14:10Any questions?
00:14:11X minus two minutes.
00:14:16Good luck.
00:14:38Going back.
00:14:39Thanks, Leslie.
00:14:45I'm the only one of the four kilowatt-・・ Chang fuelingоссie.
00:14:50Ajax not one minute.
00:14:52One minute.
00:14:58X minus включ.
00:15:00X minus 50 seconds, X minus 40 seconds, X minus 30 seconds, X minus 20 seconds, X minus
00:15:2110 seconds, X minus 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
00:15:51Now, if you will follow me, we will attempt to establish radio contact with the ship.
00:16:21The human body can withstand these accelerations, but it certainly was never meant to.
00:16:46I feel like I was just tossed off the spooky bronch.
00:16:49Are you all right, doctor?
00:16:52Oh, yes, you can't hurt an old campaigner like me.
00:16:55How about you?
00:16:55Are you all right?
00:16:56Certainly.
00:16:58Radar and gyro compass in order.
00:17:01Automatic pilot okay.
00:17:02Fuel consumption?
00:17:03Normal.
00:17:05Air pressure?
00:17:05Um, 15 pounds.
00:17:19Talk about hurricanes and surf Demo.
00:17:36Teddy.
00:17:37Harry.
00:17:37Harry.
00:17:38Harry.
00:17:38It's a marvelous sight, isn't it?
00:17:51It is.
00:17:52You can study maps and globes and try to visualize.
00:17:56But the actual experience, it's hard to express.
00:18:01Stand by to turn.
00:18:08Stand by, four, three, two, turn.
00:18:38Any degree turn completed.
00:18:40Shipment level flight speed, 3400 miles per hour.
00:18:44Allot to 360 miles.
00:18:46How do we stand on fuel now?
00:18:48Three-tenths of fire left in tail section.
00:18:50Mixture at present?
00:18:51A16.
00:18:52Harry, contact the base.
00:18:53Right.
00:18:54RxM calling BWS.
00:19:06RxM calling BWS.
00:19:08Over.
00:19:09And then RxM, over to you.
00:19:12Stand by, BWS.
00:19:15Ekstrom speaking.
00:19:17We have leveled off at 360 miles altitude and are circling the globe at 3400 miles per hour.
00:19:27We will increase speed gradually until we reach escape velocity of 25,000 miles per hour.
00:19:33Everyone aboard ship, well, over to you.
00:19:39We'll be standing by, 5,500 miles.
00:19:43Continue acceleration.
00:19:45Come on.
00:19:46Come on.
00:19:47Come on.
00:19:48Come on.
00:19:49Come on.
00:19:50Come on.
00:19:51Come on.
00:19:52Come on.
00:19:53Hey, what happened to the rest of the night?
00:19:54I'm afraid we ran right out of it.
00:19:56If it's darkness you want, wait until we enter outer space.
00:20:13The realm of perpetual night.
00:20:146,000.
00:20:156,200 miles per hour.
00:20:24Radar is tracking them first.
00:20:29I had contact with them four minutes ago.
00:20:32Altitude, 1,600 miles, speed, 21,000 miles per hour, constantly increasing.
00:20:37They are about to reach escape velocity.
00:20:3922,000.
00:20:41Bill, check the pressurizing system and oxygen.
00:20:45Boy, this kind of weather makes me feel right at home.
00:20:48It's like a nice, cool night in East Texas.
00:20:5124,000.
00:20:51Take a reading the moment we attain escape velocity.
00:20:54Yes, sir.
00:20:54Stand by.
00:20:5825,000.
00:21:00Prepare to jettison tail section.
00:21:02Start the front assembly motors.
00:21:04Only 40 seconds supply of fuel left.
00:21:09Hold on tight, everybody.
00:21:11You ready?
00:21:12Ready.
00:21:13Go.
00:21:18Reduce power.
00:21:22Look out!
00:21:23That was a little too close for conflict.
00:21:36We might be in a vacuum, but I sure felt the wind of that one.
00:21:39Harry, contact the base again.
00:21:41Harry, contact the base again.
00:21:41Good morning.
00:21:42Older.
00:21:42Missions.
00:21:48RxM calling BWS.
00:21:49Over.
00:21:50Over.
00:21:51Come in, RxM.
00:21:52Over to you.
00:21:53Stand by, BWS.
00:21:54we're on our way we have jettisoned tail section and are now reducing power and speed according
00:22:04to plan until we come within the attraction of the moon this probably last radio contact
00:22:12before return flight everybody aboard 12. bws calling rxm bws calling rxm come in rxm
00:22:35ladies and gentlemen we had hope by having the entire press represented here tonight
00:22:39to eliminate any possible hearsay rumor or speculation from your reports
00:22:44however i regret to have to ask you to confine yourselves to the official news release
00:22:49i promise to hand you any news that may come in as soon as it can be cleared
00:23:03i don't think i like all this dark
00:23:05well it it might be all right for sleeping for a steady diet uh-uh i used to hate the daylight
00:23:12because i couldn't work but up here in this eternal night it's a different feeling
00:23:18a fella can get used to anything i guess if he has to
00:23:21i remember when i was first assigned to jets
00:23:25i said to the colonel colonel i joined this man's air force to fly an airplane
00:23:29but nobody's gonna hitch me to no roman candle
00:23:32oh now i'm sitting right inside of one
00:23:35boy oh boy
00:23:41ain't she pretty
00:23:44can you see texas
00:23:52no it's in the other hemisphere
00:23:54even so from this distance it would only appear a mere speck
00:23:58a mere speck
00:24:00texas a mere speck
00:24:02listen my friend i i'm broad-minded i've i've been around people but
00:24:07don't you ever let any other texan hear you say that
00:24:11a mere speck
00:24:13it's a funnier sensation
00:24:30i feel like i'm walking in a cloud no effort at all
00:24:33we're getting deeper in interplanetary space
00:24:35gravity will soon be practically non-existent
00:24:37look we got a stowaway aboard
00:24:40don't you think it's amusing
00:24:53there's nothing funny about that
00:24:56simply the lack of gravity
00:24:57oh of course dr van holl
00:25:00better make sure our equipment's passing down
00:25:10now don't get mad at me but can't you ever relax
00:25:14all these weeks months i've been watching you nothing but work work work
00:25:18you know i've been wondering
00:25:22how does a girl like you get mixed up in a thing like this in the first place
00:25:27i suppose you think that women should only cook and
00:25:31and sew and bear children
00:25:33isn't that enough
00:25:35there's such a thing as going overboard in the other direction to you
00:25:41if you don't watch
00:25:44i'll check the engines
00:26:01bill pressurize the motor room first
00:26:03motor room pressure up
00:26:14motor room pressure up
00:26:33and everybody can't wait for it
00:26:35there's some reason for an accident
00:26:37i guess what i thought
00:26:39what i thought
00:26:41dr
00:26:42excel
00:26:43october
00:26:44yeah
00:26:45and
00:26:45you
00:26:46me
00:26:47good
00:26:55you
00:26:55and
00:27:03We're still drifting.
00:27:12After fourteen hours and twelve minutes, we've covered one hundred and twelve thousand
00:27:33miles.
00:27:34We'll come within the gravitational attraction of the moon.
00:27:37That's not important right now.
00:27:38Without power, we're helplessly suspended in space.
00:27:41Even if we were already within the gravitational reach, we'd still be unable to make a landing.
00:27:45We need power to land.
00:27:47Checked and double checked all connections.
00:27:49Primers.
00:27:50Fuel injectors.
00:27:51We can't find a thing wrong.
00:27:56And it must be the fuel mixture.
00:28:11How much oxygen do we carry?
00:28:16Don't worry.
00:28:17We have plenty left for the trip.
00:28:19For the trip as planned, you mean?
00:28:22Why?
00:28:23What do you mean?
00:28:24What are we doing?
00:28:25What are we doing?
00:28:26What do you mean?
00:28:27If you don't mind.
00:28:57A differential six over M to the 30th power, the halfway check result is 262,000 to 341,000, both using tangent E, correct?
00:29:12That isn't the result I have.
00:29:14It must be the same.
00:29:15There's an error there.
00:29:17I've made no error, Dr. Ekstrom.
00:29:21I have to say that you've made an error and discard your figures.
00:29:24I'm sorry.
00:29:26Don't be.
00:29:27Surely you're not going to let emotion enter into this.
00:29:30Certainly not.
00:29:32We'll continue computing using my results as a basis.
00:29:35Yes, doctor.
00:29:37Except that I feel very strongly I should say that we should try both.
00:29:41We can't.
00:29:42To complete either calculation would take six to eight hours.
00:29:46We can't afford the time.
00:29:47It's either one or the other, Dr. Van Horn.
00:29:49But it doesn't have to be.
00:29:50You can't be arbitrary about imposing your will when these people's lives are at stake.
00:29:55Don't you realize that?
00:29:57You speak as calmly as if you were saying pass the salt.
00:30:01Aren't you human?
00:30:02Are you made of ice?
00:30:03I'm sorry.
00:30:07I apologize.
00:30:09For what?
00:30:09For momentarily being a woman.
00:30:12It's completely understandable, Miss Van Horn.
00:30:15Now, shall we go ahead?
00:30:17Yes, doctor.
00:30:19Tangent L9.
00:30:21Tangent L9.
00:30:22It's Dr. Hurley at Mount Palomar.
00:30:52Yes, Dr. Hurley?
00:30:54Yes.
00:30:55We located the RXM's position at 716 this morning.
00:30:59Since then, there has been very little change.
00:31:01Apparently, their velocity is far lower than we anticipated.
00:31:05Are you sure, doctor?
00:31:22The wind that blows between the worlds, it cut him like a knife.
00:31:46What?
00:31:48Nothing.
00:31:49It's a line from Kipling's Tomlinson.
00:31:51The poem about the chap, someone to now fix.
00:31:54He couldn't get into heaven or hell.
00:31:57Suspended in space.
00:31:58Would you do something for me, please?
00:32:02Sure.
00:32:03I need those two grafts under Dr. Ekstrom's arm.
00:32:08I'm tired and shaky.
00:32:09I might awaken him.
00:32:11I know the feeling.
00:32:12I wouldn't rock him of his sleep for anything.
00:32:16I knocked over a 10-foot Christmas tree once, all decorated at my cousin's house,
00:32:20just from trying to do something when I was too tired.
00:32:24It was about 1 o'clock in the morning.
00:32:25Kids woke up, came rushing in.
00:32:27At first, they thought I was Santa Claus lying there with a busted tinseled star on my nose.
00:32:32I spoiled everything.
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:33Thanks.
00:32:45It's no trouble.
00:32:50Why don't you take a minute off from that?
00:32:53You're worn out.
00:32:54I can't.
00:32:56You'll think clearer if you do.
00:32:57When I was flying in the war, we had a guy like you in some of our long missions.
00:33:06Too bad.
00:33:08Too bad?
00:33:10Blue is top.
00:33:11We had to put him in section 8.
00:33:14He held it in too long.
00:33:15Never let down a second.
00:33:19You're right.
00:33:21I'm not even thinking straight anymore.
00:33:24Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.
00:33:27I ought to think of something different.
00:33:33How about that?
00:33:38Something no human being ever saw before.
00:33:49You know, it's funny.
00:33:51One never thinks of the earth that way.
00:33:53There's a dying planet with nothing to give out but reflected light.
00:33:57A mere moon.
00:33:58A mere moon.
00:34:00Don't speak so disrespectfully of the moon.
00:34:03A mere moon.
00:34:06I've done some of my best work, my moonlight.
00:34:10And it's like very effective.
00:34:12For navigation?
00:34:14For any purpose.
00:34:15Don't underrate it.
00:34:16Don't underrate it.
00:34:18Moonlight's potent.
00:34:20You're speaking of its effect on men and women?
00:34:24On women.
00:34:25I don't need this stuff myself.
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:27You're immune.
00:34:29No.
00:34:30I just don't need it.
00:34:31But did you ever park in an open convertible on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific?
00:34:38On a warm summer night when a big moon hung up there like a lantern.
00:34:42The blue light from it walking across the water.
00:34:45Radio playing a nice tune.
00:34:47Waves whooshing on the beach.
00:34:49You know, I, uh, perhaps unfortunately, I never had the time nor the thought to do anything much beyond my profession.
00:35:02Now, don't tell me that you never looked at that old moon except for astronomical reasons.
00:35:07You're right.
00:35:09I have.
00:35:10In Rome once and in Switzerland.
00:35:14At Lake Lugano.
00:35:16What a nice stroll.
00:35:18Stroll?
00:35:19Yes.
00:35:20Yes, we walked slowly around the edge of the lake for two hours.
00:35:24I never stopped.
00:35:25No.
00:35:27Well.
00:35:28Everybody to his own taste.
00:35:31It was lovely there.
00:35:33Water black like cold coffee.
00:35:35The moonlight like flecks of ice cream floating on it.
00:35:39The music from the hotel ballroom.
00:35:43Oh, but that was so long ago.
00:35:46Another world.
00:35:47Fine scientist I am.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Daydream.
00:35:56It's good for you once in a while.
00:35:58I suppose it is, but not now.
00:36:06I still say it.
00:36:12Say what?
00:36:12That moonlight's effective stuff.
00:36:17You're quite right.
00:36:27What effect a double dose like this would have in a convertible?
00:36:31No.
00:36:31Hmm?
00:36:33Nothing.
00:36:34Skip it.
00:36:38Meteorites!
00:36:38Meteorites!
00:36:38Meteorites!
00:36:38Let's go.
00:37:08Boy, I've been through some pretty heavy flack in my day, but that's the worst I've ever had thrown at me.
00:37:25Heavenly flack.
00:37:28Say, maybe somebody don't want us to get where we aim to get.
00:37:38Oh, cheer up, Harry.
00:37:42After what we've been through, we'll get there, all right?
00:37:47Maybe it'd have been better if one of them had struck the ship.
00:37:51At least it'd have been sudden.
00:37:53Quick.
00:37:54Now, your computation?
00:38:03We have to add 12% O3 to A16.
00:38:06Right.
00:38:0712% O3 to A16.
00:38:09This means we'll have to rearrange some of the fuel tanks and all the connections.
00:38:13I will replace these H tanks with these.
00:38:21The motor room's pressurized.
00:38:25Think you can manage a half-ton tank?
00:38:27Oh, sure.
00:38:28Down on my ranch, I used to throw a little old thousand pound steer over my shoulder every morning.
00:38:33Sure, that wasn't a little old bull you were throwing.
00:38:35Come here.
00:38:35Come here.
00:38:35Let us go, sir.
00:38:36Come on.
00:38:36Take home.
00:39:00Oh, dear Lord.
00:39:03Oh, dear Lord.
00:39:03All right, Sampson, let's see you do your stuff.
00:39:07Think I was kidding, huh?
00:39:11You'll never prove it to me here.
00:39:19Doctor, can we be quite sure these proportions are safe?
00:39:24We never proved them by experiment.
00:39:26The mathematical theory is beyond question.
00:39:28Oh, three, though.
00:39:32Sometimes it behaves unpredictably.
00:39:35Woman's intuition again.
00:39:44Twelve percent, oh, three to eight, 16.
00:39:46Twelve percent, oh, three to eight, 16.
00:39:47And chart deviation is 32 degrees.
00:39:50Present position will correct cause when we're powered flat once more.
00:39:53All right, all ready?
00:39:55Ready.
00:39:56Stand by, everybody.
00:40:26Will you repeat that again, Dr. Hurley?
00:40:42Are you certain?
00:40:45Yes.
00:40:47As I see, thank you.
00:40:49They are completely off their course, moving with incredible velocity out into limitless space.
00:41:07I can't understand it.
00:41:09Yes.
00:41:13Okay.
00:41:18I can't understand it.
00:41:29Good morning.
00:41:30Floyd!
00:41:32Floyd!
00:41:34Floyd!
00:41:35You all right?
00:41:42Yes.
00:41:47Flight.
00:41:50Flight.
00:41:57You all right?
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:01I'm all right.
00:42:04Harry.
00:42:06Harry.
00:42:08I'm not getting enough oxygen.
00:42:10No.
00:42:15Bill.
00:42:16Bill.
00:42:25Dr. Ekstrom.
00:42:27Dr. Ekstrom.
00:42:29Dr. Ekstrom.
00:42:30Dr. Ekstrom.
00:42:39How long has it been since?
00:42:41I'm afraid we'll never know.
00:42:43How are the others?
00:42:45I think everybody's going to be all right.
00:42:50It must have been days.
00:42:52Fortunately, the engines were turned off.
00:42:54When?
00:42:56I must have turned the levers off when I blacked out.
00:42:58But at what speed?
00:43:01You know the consequences of a body moving with unchecked velocity in free space.
00:43:06Infinite motion.
00:43:09So we made a little detour.
00:43:11Now we've got to double back that last road sign.
00:43:13Come on, let's go to work.
00:43:19Try to determine our present velocity if possible.
00:43:26It can't be.
00:43:27The instruments must have gone crazy.
00:43:31I don't think so.
00:43:33By heading into space, we've added the Earth's orbital velocity to our own.
00:43:38Then we're really moving.
00:43:40I should say at least several times the maximum speed of your indicator.
00:43:45Any progress, Harry?
00:43:47Should at least have an approximation of our position very shortly.
00:43:50Fuel consumption?
00:43:51In just a moment.
00:43:52Doctor.
00:43:56What?
00:43:58I cut in resistances to raise the scale.
00:44:00But look.
00:44:05Acceleration.
00:44:06Definite acceleration.
00:44:07But the motor's off.
00:44:09That's impossible unless...
00:44:11This can't be correct.
00:44:12What?
00:44:14I seem to be getting a strong reflection of impulse directly ahead 50,000 miles.
00:44:18That explains it.
00:44:20Explains what?
00:44:23Of course.
00:44:24Of course.
00:44:35Unbelievable.
00:44:38It couldn't be me a chance.
00:44:40I don't quite know how to tell you it so.
00:44:46If I could have even dreamed that an incredible set of circumstances, each precisely and exactly timed, would carry us unerringly through space to our most congenial planetary neighbor, Mars, I would...
00:45:03Mars!
00:45:09It's utterly unbelievable!
00:45:11No doubt whatsoever.
00:45:12Unmistakable.
00:45:14Mars!
00:45:15Where do you know?
00:45:17What does it mean, Doctor?
00:45:19It means there are times when a mere scientist has gone as far as he can.
00:45:23When he must pause and observe respectfully while something infinitely greater assumes control.
00:45:28I believe this is one of those times.
00:45:29We shall go on, of course.
00:45:32Our overall fuel consumption was...
00:45:34Forty-two percent.
00:45:36A Martian landing approaching a planet with atmosphere is far easier than the lunar maneuver.
00:45:41Certainly we shall go on.
00:45:43We should be betraying an unprecedented opportunity to do otherwise.
00:45:46Then I'd suggest there's a couple of little things we might do.
00:45:50This ship isn't going to land itself, you know.
00:45:55Mark.
00:45:56I'll be darned.
00:45:58We must first compute the correct thrust of fuel mixture to comply with anticipated conditions.
00:46:03Escape velocity twelve thousand five hundred miles an hour.
00:46:07Oxygen at surface level fifteen percent.
00:46:09Prepare to change the parallel course at distance fifteen hundred miles.
00:46:12Right.
00:46:14I've located them.
00:46:16Located what?
00:46:17The Earth and Moon.
00:46:19Where are they?
00:46:20Here, take a look.
00:46:27What do you know about that?
00:46:30Is it all right to call Texas a mere spec now?
00:46:36As we are now in parallel flight, we are reducing speed and altitude.
00:46:41At fifty miles altitude, we will execute a turn of ninety degrees, bringing the rocket into landing position.
00:46:47Since the gravitational attraction to Mars is only half as powerful as that of Earth, a thrust of twelve hundred tons will be sufficient to make the landing.
00:46:56Fuel?
00:46:57Hydrogen and oxygen plus A-12.
00:46:59Altitude seventy miles.
00:47:08Sixty-five.
00:47:15Sixty.
00:47:18Fifty-five miles.
00:47:19Standby to turn.
00:47:21Fifty.
00:47:22Turn.
00:47:29Johnny?
00:47:30Yes.
00:47:37Hell...
00:47:39Fifty-five.
00:47:49Highifie degree turn.
00:47:51Complete it.
00:47:52Reduce power.
00:47:59I hope the light holds out.
00:48:24It's getting dark down below.
00:48:29As far as I can make out, the terrain is suitable for landing.
00:48:55Volitude 6 miles, 5 miles, 20,000 feet, 18,000.
00:49:02Thrust at present, 1,250 tons.
00:49:04Stand by to increase power.
00:49:0815,000, 12,000, 10,000, 8,000, 7,000, 6,000.
00:49:14We're losing altitude too fast. Increase thrust to 3,000 tons.
00:49:214,000 feet.
00:49:253,000, 2,000 feet.
00:49:29Reduce thrust slowly to 1,250 tons.
00:49:361,000.
00:49:37500.
00:49:38Save the engines.
00:49:51Nice work, Floyd.
00:49:55Mars extending is a welcome.
00:50:05Now we're prepared to disembark first thing in the morning.
00:50:09In the meantime, we can rest and get our equipment ready.
00:50:12Well, that's what I've been waiting for.
00:50:19I've been itching to get into one of these things.
00:50:21Sorry to disappoint you, Bill.
00:50:23We have atmosphere here.
00:50:24We won't need pressure suits.
00:50:26Which works greatly in our favor too.
00:50:29We can accomplish so much more unencumbered.
00:50:31As far as equipment's concerned, we'll take oxygen masks, camera, paraphernalia...
00:50:36What about data for the return trip?
00:50:38It must be exact and precise.
00:50:39Hadn't we better begin preparation?
00:50:41Yes, of course.
00:50:42You're right.
00:50:43We have so little time here.
00:50:45Such an opportunity.
00:50:47Let's think about that for a little while first.
00:51:01Group boating music by日本 kind.
00:51:20Then....
00:51:22Then...
00:53:30You figure on staking out a claim here?
00:53:33Just making sure we can find our way back.
00:54:30All we've seen so far is rock and sand, sand and rocks.
00:54:51I wonder when we're going to run across some of these Martians.
00:54:56You know, from what I read, they've got pale faces and pinheads and fishy eyes.
00:55:01Shall we go?
00:55:03Shall we go?
00:55:03All we've seen so far is that we're going to run across some of these Martians, and we're going to run across some of these Martians, and we're going to run across some of these Martians.
00:55:09And we're going to run across some of these Martians.
00:55:13Yeah, well, I'm going to run across some of these Martians, and we're going to run across some of these Martians.
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:17Yeah.
00:55:18Yeah.

00:57:23Blast effect coupled with intense heat.
00:57:26There's a strong field of radiation over there.
00:57:53You'd better stop.
00:57:58The radioactivity is at the danger level.
00:58:08Ironic, isn't it?
00:58:10The mind of man, wherever you encounter it,
00:58:14Earth or Mars,
00:58:16the highest attainments of human intellect,
00:58:19always diverted to self-destruction.
00:58:23Perhaps the entire surface of the planet is one vast ruin.
00:58:29Like this.
00:58:31Don't you think we ought to start back to the ship?
00:58:34I agree with that.
00:58:35We're neither prepared nor equipped for any stay here.
00:58:38We have supplies for several days.
00:58:40Let's use this precious time as effectively as we can.
00:58:44I agree with Dr. Ekstrom.
00:58:46A day here is more valuable than years of research on Earth.
00:58:50Well, okay then, let's get going.
00:58:53What a lesson here for our world.
00:59:07One blast.
00:59:09Thousands of years of civilization wiped out.
00:59:13Could there have been any survivors?
00:59:17I should hate to think so.
00:59:24We still don't know all the genetic effects of radiation,
00:59:27but that it would produce mutations,
00:59:30malformities, disfigurances, blindness,
00:59:32that much we're sure of from research.
00:59:35A blast like this?
00:59:37I should hate to think that any survived.
00:59:40Why don't you try to get some rest?
00:59:45Why don't you try to get some rest?
00:59:47If I ever get back to Texas, I'll know better than to leave again.
00:59:51Yes, sir.
00:59:53I wouldn't do that.
00:59:54Let's try to understand.
00:59:55Alright.
00:59:57I'll get back to the scene.

01:01:20It wasn't a nightmare.
01:01:22I haven't slept at all.

01:05:48Where's Bill?
01:06:02Murdering savages.
01:06:04No Floyd.
01:06:06Poor fear-crazed, despairing wretches.
01:06:10Pity them.
01:06:12Pity them.
01:06:14Don't talk anymore.
01:06:15You must get back to Earth.
01:06:17Tell them we'll be found.
01:06:19Don't.
01:06:20Maybe this will...
01:06:33Look out!
01:06:50Boris Frist.
01:06:51There he is.
01:06:54Ah-ah-ah-ah.
01:06:57Ah-ah!
01:06:59Ah-ah-ah-ah...
01:07:02Ah-ah!
01:07:03Ah-ah!
01:07:06Oh, my God.
01:07:36I wish Harry were able to help.
01:07:54It's impossible to get a precise result without radar.
01:07:57You've done a wonderful job.
01:08:00We should have fuel enough for a landing.
01:08:02When will we feel the Earth's gravity?
01:08:04As soon as there's an increase in speed.
01:08:06According to elapsed time and velocity chart, almost any minute now.
01:08:10But without a check from Harry, it's...
01:08:11I know we're in a tight spot, but we'll manage somehow.
01:08:14Any sign of increase in speed?
01:08:19Not yet.
01:08:20You know, you're a pretty swell girl, Lisa.
01:08:27Any sign of increase in speed?
01:08:36Not yet.
01:08:37You know, you're a pretty swell girl, Lisa.
01:08:43Girl?
01:08:45I'm not Dr. Van Horn anymore?
01:08:47No.
01:08:48Just Lisa.
01:08:50Doing her job.
01:08:52No, I don't see it that way at all.
01:08:55I see a woman sweet, gentle...
01:08:59and beautiful.
01:09:04I'm not the same.
01:09:06Somehow, no.
01:09:07But I am, you know.
01:09:09The same, I mean.
01:09:10Well, maybe I've changed then, but...
01:09:13I feel that...
01:09:14I've never known you before.
01:09:17Will you...
01:09:19do something for me, please?
01:09:20Sure, what?
01:09:23Say my name the way you did a moment ago.
01:09:28Lisa.
01:09:31I'm calling VWS.
01:09:35I'm calling VWS.
01:09:38Come in, VWS.
01:09:40Over.
01:09:41Come in, VWS.
01:09:44I can't contact them.
01:09:46They won't answer.
01:09:48They won't ever answer.
01:09:49Of course they will.
01:09:51Speed's increasing.
01:09:52We're gonna make it.
01:09:52Shut off the fuel.
01:10:22I'm sorry.
01:10:27I wish I could help.
01:10:30You heard what Floyd said.
01:10:32Everything will be all right.
01:10:34What about the fuel?
01:10:36We lost so much.
01:10:38Yes.
01:10:39We'll have enough for landing.
01:10:41Not even for an approach.
01:10:43The motors were functioning perfectly before I shut them off.
01:10:47At one tenth capacity.
01:10:48I'm sorry.
01:10:49It's all my fault.
01:10:50Maybe it's only the instruments.
01:10:51It's all my fault.
01:10:52Maybe it's only the instruments.
01:10:53It's all my fault.
01:10:54It's all my fault.
01:10:55It's all my fault.
01:10:56It's all my fault.
01:10:57It's all my fault.
01:10:58It's hopeless.
01:10:59It's hopeless.
01:11:00Yeah.
01:11:01I'm not sure.
01:11:02Don't let me know.
01:11:03It's not a fault.
01:11:04It's all my fault.
01:11:05What's the matter?
01:11:06Everything's worked out so far.
01:11:07Right in the nose.
01:11:08We haven't got enough fuel for landing.
01:11:09Not even for an approach.
01:11:10And one-tenth capacity.
01:11:12I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
01:11:15Maybe it's only the instruments.
01:11:26It's hopeless.
01:11:29We are lost.
01:11:32Everything is lost.
01:11:36All Dr. Ekstrom's work in vain.
01:11:41Now the world will never know the terrible truth we learned.
01:11:46No.
01:11:47Maybe there's still a chance.
01:11:51We must be close enough for shortwave.
01:11:54Try to contact the base.
01:11:56If we only could.
01:12:03We must report everything.
01:12:05Tell them as much as we can.
01:12:08What we saw.
01:12:10The mistakes that we made.
01:12:15RXM calling BWS.
01:12:18RXM calling BWS.
01:12:21Yes.
01:12:23Dr. Flemming.
01:12:24Yes.
01:12:25Radio control room just called.
01:12:26They've contacted the RXM.
01:12:27There's too much interference.
01:12:28You better use these, doctor.
01:12:29Yes.
01:12:30Yes.
01:12:31Yes.
01:12:32Yes.
01:12:33Yes.
01:12:34Yes.
01:12:35Yes.
01:12:36Yes.
01:12:37Yes.
01:12:38Yes.
01:12:39Yes.
01:12:40Yes.
01:12:41Yes.
01:12:42Yes.
01:12:43Yes.
01:12:44Yes.
01:12:45Yes.
01:12:46Yes.
01:12:47Yes.
01:12:48Yes.
01:12:49Yes.
01:12:50Yes.
01:12:51Yes.
01:12:52Yes.
01:12:53Yes.
01:12:54Yes.
01:12:55Yes.
01:12:56Yes.
01:12:57Yes.
01:12:58P.W.S. Fleming speaking. Calling R.X.M.
01:13:03Come in, R.X.M.
01:13:13Repeat that again, please, Dr. Van Horn.
01:13:28Come in, R.X.M.
01:13:34What about Dr. Eckstrom?
01:13:58B.M.
01:14:06B.M.
01:14:09B.M.
01:14:19B.M.
01:14:22Now, at least they know.
01:14:45Floyd, hold me.
01:14:47Hold me tight.
01:14:49I wish I knew some words that would help.
01:14:51I'm sorry that we haven't had any time.
01:14:54That you didn't meet or know each other the way we do now sooner.
01:14:57Time isn't so important.
01:14:58Oh, yes, yes, it is.
01:15:00Don't, don't.
01:15:02We can say that time is behind us.
01:15:04That we've had years together.
01:15:06Yes.
01:15:06I can tell you about a thousand wonderful hours we've spent together.
01:15:09Because I feel we would have, inevitably.
01:15:12And there's not that much difference between the future and the past.
01:15:16Not if you feel this way about it, no.
01:15:21Should we wake him?
01:15:24What good would it do?
01:15:26None, you're right.
01:15:27It's only seconds, darling.
01:15:30Try not to be afraid.
01:15:33Floyd.
01:15:36I'm not afraid anymore.
01:15:39Something happened like a great way of carrying us up,
01:15:43burying us, or taping us.
01:15:44I think I'm sorry.
01:15:55Dr. Fleming?
01:15:56Yes.
01:15:57The men from the new syndicates are still waiting.
01:16:00All right, let them come in.
01:16:01Dr. Fleming, the pilot and crew of Flight 19 International Airlines
01:16:13observed a strange object falling over Nova Scotia.
01:16:17According to their report, it could have been the RXM.
01:16:20My office has been getting the same story over the wires for hours.
01:16:24We know the RXM has been overdue a long time.
01:16:26Is there any connection, doctor?
01:16:27As yet there has been no confirmation, but yes, I believe there is a connection.
01:16:38Then they all perished in the crash.
01:16:40No, two were lost earlier.
01:16:42But the flight must be considered a failure.
01:16:45Failure?
01:16:47Every point of our rocket theory has been established.
01:16:51It has proven that interspace travel is not only possible, but practicable.
01:16:56And it has supplied us with information, which may well mean the salvation of our own world.
01:17:04No, gentlemen, the flight of the RXM was not a failure.
01:17:10Tomorrow we start construction of RXM-2.
01:17:13The Lone Ranger of the RXM was not a failure.
01:17:31The Lone Ranger of the RXM was piper.
01:17:38The Distance Between the Earth and the Moon
01:18:00and its closest proximity is 238,000 miles.
01:18:04We expect to cover this distance in approximately 48 hours.
01:18:08X minus 5 seconds.
01:18:114, 3, 2, 1, 0.
01:18:154, 3, 2, 1, 0.
01:18:2010-degree turn completed.

01:19:09Prepare the Jennison tail section.
01:19:12You ready?
01:19:14Go.
