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...
00:00:42Conquest of space!

00:02:07It'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 that 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.
00:03:01The moon, Barney. New days, a month, and we'll be on it.
00:03:06You realize, sir, that I've been up here a full year without any leave?
00:03:09Well, there's several of us in the same boat, Barney.
00:03:11But I'd only been married for three and a half months.
00:03:14I'm sure Linda will understand. She's a sensible girl.
00:03:18After all, when a girl marries a soldier...
00:03:20Soldier.
00:03:23Ghost, you mean.
00:03:25A robot spinning around the world every two hours on a tin donut.
00:03:28That's what you've been to mother for three years and what I'm becoming to my wife.
00:03:32Barney.
00:03:34I'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.
00:04:10Colonel, sir, there's a storm building up in the Pacific.
00:04:13Real Lulu. Might be a hurricane.
00:04:15Chart it and notify all the weather stations likely to be affected.
00:04:18Yes, sir.
00:04:27Permission denied, Captain.
00:04:45Some how or another, I kind of hate to see this job get finished.
00:05:02It's like my cousin Seymour.
00:05:04He's a plastic surgeon.
00:05:06He built a face for an ugly dame once,
00:05:09which turned out to be so beautiful,
00:05:12he fell in love with her.
00:05:15So off she went with the garbage collector.
00:05:17You afraid this beautiful ship will go off without you, Jackie?
00:05:21Precisely and definitely the opposite.
00:05:24Well, frankly, I'm...
00:05:25I'm frightened of going,
00:05:27but I'm more frightened of being left behind.
00:05:30But you scared?
00:05:31We build this ship, so we fly it.
00:05:34And so we get to the moon.
00:05:37Who's gonna guarantee we ever get back?
00:05:40I'm with Pete.
00:05:43For a fat salad year,
00:05:45I've been eating bites here
00:05:46on his goofy sombrero with no squawk.
00:05:49Now, let some other heroes take her from here.
00:05:53This little guinea pig ain't gonna no more joy hops
00:05:57for the great Colonel Merritt.
00:05:59And if old Space Hoppy thinks otherwise,
00:06:02he can take his ship and...
00:06:05And what, Sergeant Siegel?
00:06:07Sergeant Siegel just left, sir.
00:06:30Roy! Secure that cable!
00:06:32I... I can't move a finger!
00:06:35Careful!
00:06:37Watch out! The high-mo's in!

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!
00:06:52Let's get him back to the wheel!
00:06:54Taxi!
00:06:55We got a sick man here!
00:07:04Gotta get him back to the wheel!
00:07:14All set!

00:08:02I I just couldn't eyes all right I told you leave him alone it ain't important you know
00:08:08the colonel's orders with you incubator babies even a pimple is important you bluebirds are my
00:08:14responsibility and he's reporting to the infirmary come on lad I'll take him himself gee it'd be worth
00:08:24taking a trip to the moon just to get rid of that overgrown baby sir what is it sir I I'm all right
00:08:35don't I of course my boy of course nothing more serious than a momentary lapse of nerve function
00:08:41you're fine you believe him sir I mean this couldn't make any difference it's been a
00:08:52whole year sir and after all this time I I'd hate to wash out I'd hate to lose you Cooper thank you sir
00:09:05let's have it curtain what's really the matter with that boy oh Cooper's in fine condition sir
00:09:14well you gave him a complete physical examination only three days ago major a perfect score remember
00:09:21you don't have to worry about that voice I assure you who's paralyzed out there sergeant he couldn't
00:09:26move that's something to worry about up here what was it somatic dyspagia self-induced an ability of the
00:09:34nerves to transmit brain messages in your language space fatigue self-induced well not consciously of
00:09:40course each mind has its own limit of endurance at which point it rebels the result can be anything
00:09:47simple hives hallucination headache loss of speech paralysis total insanity anything all of us up here
00:09:56suffer from the same disease to some degree it is to be expected man has never before lived in space
00:10:02fortunately most of the cases are so minor they present no problem but Cooper Cooper will
00:10:09be perfectly normal as soon as you return him to earth that bad what he experienced was simply a
00:10:16warning if it happens again it could be permanent and I see how about the others Andre immortal excellent
00:10:26as for Siegel Sinella and Dunkirk skirt every day with them it is a new set of horrible
00:10:33afflictions some of them completely unknown to medical science furthermore they all seem to have an
00:10:39absolute loathing for the wheel its commanding officer its doctor a certain sergeant Mahoney and the space
00:10:47core in general everything with the possible exception of good food and women in other words they're normal
00:10:55thank you very much major
00:10:57what's the matter sir are you ill no no I'm all right
00:11:11carry on

00:11:53Well, you're back.
00:12:06No matter what you think I'm talking about,
00:12:08I'm going to talk to you about,
00:12:10I'm going to talk to you about.
00:12:12If you found them a way to put you up,
00:12:14you swathe.
00:12:15You are not looking for me.
00:12:16I'm not going to talk to you about the exact same art.
00:12:18My girls,
00:12:20Heavens science ain't found no way to put you up in capsules.
00:12:24The future of Mr. Segal, Pedro!
00:12:27How'd you like to paddle that around in your gondola?
00:12:32For 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?
00:12:44Out of what, Roy?
00:12:45A spaceship.
00:12:47Must 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.
00:13:02Each 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!
00:13:12You 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.
00:13:38I don't think we're going no place.
00:13:43All right, so we built a spaceship.
00:13:45That doesn't mean we have to fly it.
00:13:47Hey, maybe we're guinea pigs.
00:13:49Maybe they want to find out how much of them cosmic rays a human carcass can absorb before we light up like Christmas trees.
00:13:54Eh, and a double pay, I could only like cosmic rays.
00:13:59With all that loot, boy, I'm going to open a TV shop, settle down, marry my Rosie, and 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 abortion.
00:14:17One of them cats in the lab just had a litter of seven kittens and she's been up here longer than we have.
00:14:21And anything a cat can do, me or Rosie could do, too.
00:14:28Last call for dining car.
00:14:29Food!
00:14:35One, two!
00:14:41Shall we go, gentlemen?
00:14:43Yes, mother!
00:14:51I'm out!
00:14:53I'm out!
00:14:55Don't look like that!
00:14:57I'm out!
00:14:58It's great!
00:14:59It's ace-me, honey.
00:15:00Don't go, man!
00:15:01I'm out!
00:15:02I'm out of the hole!
00:15:03I've got that hole!
00:15:03Come on, let's go.
00:15:05Come on, let's go!
00:15:08Come on, let's go!
00:15:09Hey, mate.
00:15:11Ham out!
00:15:12It's a helmet!
00:15:12Come on!
00:15:14Be seated, gentlemen.
00:15:29Mahoney has six little lambs.
00:15:37He has to watch their diet.
00:15:39They helped the colonel build his ship,
00:15:42and now they have to fly it!
00:15:50Hazards!
00:15:53Dig in.
00:16:04Space smog is both.
00:16:12Say, 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, pass me a cup of coffee.
00:16:30Cream and sugar.
00:16:31Okay, 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 a reason.
00:16:51For 30 years, me and the colonel have been banging around together.
00:16:54Korea, Africa, China, now Spain.
00:16:58If he intends to shove off to anywhere else,
00:17:01I ain't giving him any excuse to leave me behind
00:17:04because I ain't eating the proper diet.
00:17:06Some more of that corned beef, would you please?
00:17:08You feel better, son?
00:17:12Hmm?
00:17:13Oh, fine.
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.
00:17:21If he's going off on an excursion,
00:17:23who's he gonna take?
00:17:25He'll have to ask for volunteers again.
00:17:27Us?
00:17:28That son of his?
00:17:30I happen to know about a grapevine
00:17:33that the captain has already put in for a transfer.
00:17:36So that leaves you.
00:17:38So I hope you and the colonel will be very happy together.
00:17:41This ain't kosher combi.
00:17:44The captain put in for a transfer, did 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?
00:17:55I 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,
00:18:07pointing 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,
00:18:21putting in for a transfer.
00:18:23This is a mistake.
00:18:25No mistake.
00:18:26Compliments of Colonel Merrick.
00:18:28Bake.

00:26:54the orders are naturally contingent to your acceptance
00:26:58general
00:27:00you can refuse
00:27:08when do we leave
00:27:10our previous orders were to leave the wheel proceed to the moon orbit for observation and
00:27:28and
00:27:30and
00:27:32and
00:27:34and
00:27:36and
00:27:38orbit for observation make a landing and return to base
00:27:42these orders have now been cancelled
00:27:46we're not going to the moon
00:27:48mr fenton has brought us a new directive
00:27:58our time of departure will be 11 36 tomorrow morning
00:28:02our destination the planet mars
00:28:04now that time of departure both for the outer trip from the wheel to and
00:28:08the new mars and for the return from mars to the wheel is most important
00:28:10we must arrive at the martian orbit
00:28:12at the exact time when it is occupied by the planet
00:28:16obviously 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
00:28:30for travel into outer space
00:28:32the ship however can accommodate only two officers and three crewmen
00:28:36i have been assigned as commanding officer all other service on this trip will be voluntary
00:28:42and
00:28:44since captain merritt has already volunteered
00:28:46there are only three births left open
00:28:48two of you then are going to be disappointed
00:28:50i can take it sir
00:28:52i can take it sir
00:28:54before 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 i should like to have you along
00:29:18sergeant emoto
00:29:20you're a graduate of osaka university with two years of postgraduate work at the
00:29:24colorado school of mines
00:29:26that knowledge is valuable
00:29:28sergeant fedor two years of medicine in vienna right
00:29:32you're both needed
00:29:34before 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 that the space corps or your own governments have any right to ask of you
00:29:44i can give you a confounded little reason for this attempt to reach mars
00:29:48and 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
00:29:58and i shall strongly suspect the sanity of anyone who does
00:30:06all right
00:30:08we've all got it straight
00:30:10who wants to go
00:30:12all right
00:30:18is it permitted to disagree with the general sir
00:30:22of course sergeant
00:30:24in my humble opinion sir there is an excellent reason for this voyage
00:30:30well suppose you tell us about it
00:30:34some years ago my country chose to fight a terrible war
00:30:40it was bad
00:30:42i do not defend it
00:30:44but there were reasons
00:30:46somehow those reasons are never spoken of
00:30:48to the western world at that time
00:30:50japan was a fairy book nation
00:30:52little people living in a strange land of rice paper houses
00:30:56people who had almost no furniture
00:31:00who sat on the floor and ate with chopsticks
00:31:02the quaint houses of rice paper sir
00:31:06they were made of paper because there was no other material available
00:31:10and the winters in japan are as cold as they are in boston
00:31:12and the chopsticks
00:31:14there was no metal for forks and knives and spoons
00:31:18with slippers of wood could suffice
00:31:20so it was with the little people of japan
00:31:24little as i am now
00:31:26because for countless generations
00:31:28we have not been able to produce the food
00:31:30to make us bigger
00:31:34japan's yesterday will be the world's tomorrow
00:31:38too many people and too little land
00:31:40that is why i say sir
00:31:42there is urgent need for us to reach mars
00:31:44to provide the resources the human race will need
00:31:48if they are to survive
00:31:50that is also why
00:31:52i am most grateful to be
00:31:54found acceptable sir
00:31:56i volunteer
00:31:58thank you sergeant emoto
00:32:00you're not a little man
00:32:06anyone else
00:32:08look general sir

00:32:39after the battle of bloody hill in 1952
00:32:41when all the breath you had left in you
00:32:42was enough to blow out a candle
00:32:43and a halloween pumpkin

00:34:12I'm mad about a sheik.
00:34:15I must have his embrace.
00:34:18When he's near me, dear me, I'll tell him to his face.
00:34:22Oh, I'd better 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.
00:34:35Ah, ah, ah, ah, come into my tent.
00:34:41Nah.
00:34:43We couldn't have that kind of luck.
00:34:46Or couldn't we?
00:34:49After all, if there's life,
00:34:52there's always the female of the species.
00:34:55Yes.
00:34:56But what species?
00:34:59Yeah.
00:35:11I'd better be my baby, I'm at your command.
00:35:14Maybe make some love, or maybe on the desert sand.

00:35:34We interrupt this program to take you now to the press room of the Trence World communications in New York City.
00:35:36to take you now to the press room of the Trans-World Communications in New York City.
00:35:39Ladies 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,
00:35:51man's first spaceship, built and commanded by General Samuel Merritt,
00:35:56will blast off in the most fabulous voyage ever conceived by the human mind.
00:36:02Their destination is the planet Mars.
00:36:07Mars? You guys?
00:36:09You want our autographs, peasants?
00:36:14We take you now to our permanent station on Mount Palomar.
00:36:19There they are, ladies and gentlemen, the satellite and the spaceship,
00:36:22the dream of all mankind come true.
00:36:25The moment is almost here, the moment for that creation of the wheel
00:36:28to launch out into limitless space,
00:36:30to carry five heroic men to a new planet and to immortality.
00:36:35And now, ladies and gentlemen, please stand by while we close our circuits
00:36:38for the final special event of the evening,
00:36:40a private last look at the world for the heroic men of the wheel alone.
00:36:45Take it away, Vienna!
00:36:48So, meine Gnädigste, darf ich bitten, jetzt im 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 ungeniert da hinaus.
00:37:12Sehr 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. You are a good boy.
00:37:30Please, André, be careful. God watch over you, my boy, and bring you back to me.
00:37:40And 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.
00:37:52Rosalie!
00:38:02Hello, Jackie.
00:38:04Wow!
00:38:06Mine! Oh, mine!
00:38:09You miss me, Jackie baby.
00:38:11I miss you, honeypot.
00:38:13You'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.
00:38:22And it's burning, Jackie, right here.
00:38:25Forever.
00:38:26In it too, Rosie baby.
00:38:31For me, there never could be anyone else but you.
00:38:34Never, ever, ever.
00:38:36Psst, Psst, Rosie.
00:38:37In a minute.
00:38:38In a minute.
00:38:39In a minute.
00:38:44Though I won't say goodbye, Jackie.
00:38:46Just...
00:38:47Farewell.
00:38:48Psst, Psst.
00:38:49Rosie.
00:38:50Hey, come on.
00:38:51Please, Sidney.
00:38:52In a minute.
00:38:54Sidney!
00:38:55I gotta hurry now, Jackie.
00:38:56Mama's waiting.
00:38:57Mama?
00:38:58Ow!
00:38:59Bye now.
00:39:00Mmm.
00:39:01Don't forget to bring your Rosie back.
00:39:02A nice souvenir from Mars.
00:39:04Souvenir!
00:39:05You two-timer, tomato!
00:39:06But that Sidney, I got a souvenir.
00:39:07Come on out, you red.
00:39:08I'll burn you.
00:39:09I'll touch you.
00:39:10That's what I'll do.
00:39:11I'll do.
00:39:12Come on out, you red!
00:39:13I'll do it.
00:39:14I'll do it.
00:39:15Come on out, you red.
00:39:16I'll do it.
00:39:17Come on out.
00:39:18You two-timer, tomato!
00:39:19But that Sidney, I got a souvenir.
00:39:21Come on out, you red.
00:39:22I'll burn you.
00:39:23I'll touch you.
00:39:24That's what I'm doing, man.
00:39:25Come on out.
00:39:26Come on out, you red!
00:39:27I'll do it.
00:39:28Come on out.
00:39:29Come on out.
00:39:30so
00:40:00The End
00:40:30Holding 20,000 miles per hour, sir
00:40:39Set your gyros for Mars
00:40:47Yes, sir
00:41:00On 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 I am definitely
00:41:12Going to try to train
00:41:13You men can get out of those couches now
00:41:15We won't need them again
00:41:16Until we land on Mars
00:41:17Ain't that just grand, Sergeant?
00:41:22Not in the warrior pot
00:41:24For millions and millions of miles
00:41:27Spaceship, wheel calling
00:41:29Come in, over
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?
00:42:06We'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
00:42:17For 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
00:42:29Sergeant Immortal
00:42:36Sergeant Foto
00:42:37Go after and check the tailpipe temperatures
00:42:39Look at him
00:42:41He's off again
00:42:42He'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!
00:43:08Look!
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
00:43:34During the blast off
00:43:35Wake up, you insubordinate lunatic
00:43:37Thirty 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
00:44:17It's the one book you never really get through reading
00:44:22Man's every move, his every thought, his every action is in there somewhere
00:44:27Recorded or predicted
00:44:29Every move except this one
00:44:34According to the bible, man 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, it wouldn't have made much sense, would it?
00:44:49Does it now?
00:44:51The biblical limitations of man's wanderings are 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?
00:45:05Explorers
00:45:07Explorers
00:45:09Or invaders
00:45:11Invaders?
00:45:13Of what, sir?
00:45:15The sacred domain of God
00:45:17His heavens
00:45:19To man God gave the earth
00:45:22Nothing else
00:45:24Nothing else
00:45:25This taking of other planets
00:45:31It's almost like an act of blasphemy
00:45:35But 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 that
00:45:44At the very time when man's resources on earth are reaching an end
00:45:48Man develops the ability to leave his own world and seek replenishment on other planets
00:45:53The timing is what fascinates me
00:45:56It's too perfect to be accidental
00:45:59Those other planets might already be tenanted
00:46:03I don't think so
00:46:05The 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?
00:46:19Huh?
00:46:21Oh
00:46:22Yes, I, uh
00:46:24I think I will
00:46:28Good night, Barney
00:46:29Good night, Father
00:46:38Look, the ship
00:46:59Get out and free that pick-up
00:47:01Out, sir
00:47:03What? The ship has gone twenty thousand miles an hour, sir
00:47:06So are you, sergeant. You won't fall off.
00:47:08The operation is the same as it would be on the wheel. Get going.
00:47:11Yes, sir.
00:47:27Look at her.
00:47:29If we ever get back, you know what business I'm really going into?
00:47:34Real estate.
00:47:36Cut out that chit-chat up there and fix that pickup.
00:47:40Yes, sir.
00:47:42That's what I love about this job.
00:47:44The privacy.
00:48:06Try it now, sir.
00:48:16Try it now, sir.
00:48:26It's okay now.
00:48:28Now, you men go forward.
00:48:38Astor, dead astern.
00:48:42Astor, dead astern.
00:48:44The worst probably.
00:48:46A man in the middle.
00:48:48The best of a human being, is to make you a safe place.
00:48:52Just take this place.
00:48:54The best of a human being, is to take this place.
00:48:56The best of a human being.
00:48:58Come on, let's get inside before he throw something else at us.
00:49:28Meteor fragments.
00:49:52Sergeant Siegel, return to the airlock at once.
00:49:54That's an order. Give him a hand.
00:49:56Yes, sir.
00:49:56Mahoney.
00:49:57Yes, sir.
00:49:58Yes, sir.
00:50:28Hey, if anybody likes some hot coffee, we can heat up a couple of tins.
00:50:40Get lost.
00:50:51Get lost, will you?
00:50:53Get lost.
00:50:54Get lost. Get lost. Get lost.
00:51:02Take it easy, lad.
00:51:05He can't hear you.
00:51:06He can't hear you.
00:51:07Sir, you shouldn't somewhat go out there and...
00:51:10I'm not hear you.
00:51:11I don't know.
00:51:12I'll have to hear you.
00:51:12I'm out there and...
00:51:16O Lord, rebuke me not, nor chasten me in thy heart displeasure.
00:51:46For 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.
00:52:06Make haste to help me, O Lord, in my salvation.
00:52:16Wheel calling spaceship.
00:52:33Wheel calling spaceship.
00:52:34Come in.
00:52:35Over.
00:52:36The wheel.
00:52:37They're trying to get us.
00:52:39Spaceship to wheel.
00:52:41We hear you.
00:52:42We hear you.
00:52:43Come in.
00:52:44Over.
00:52:47Lost.
00:52:48Now, it takes time. Millions of miles.
00:52:54Spaceship to wheel. We hear you. We hear you. Come in. Come in. Over.
00:53:04Spaceship to wheel. Come in. Come in. Over.
00:53:09Getting bigger all the time, isn't it, sir?
00:53:16Yes, Sergeant. The planet and the blasphemy.
00:53:23The what, sir?
00:53:25Spaceship. Spaceship.
00:53:28Wheel calling spaceship. This is Fenton.
00:53:32We've been calling you constantly for weeks. Come in. Over.
00:53:37Spaceship to wheel. This is Captain Merrick. Stand by for the general.
00:53:41General, sir. The wheel.
00:53:46Merrick speaking. Here's the report.
00:53:56Lost course for several days due to near collision with asteroid.
00:54:01But we can still reach destination as plotted.
00:54:05Which 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.
00:54:19General, please.
00:54:20Together with all plans in existence, we're building another.
00:54:23We're committing man's greatest sacrilege.
00:54:33And we can't stop.
00:54:38Professor, the general isn't well. Fatigue.
00:54:40He's been suffering from severe headaches and insomnia.
00:54:43He's very tired, almost exhausted.
00:54:45We lost a crew member, Andre Podor, struck by a meteor.
00:54:48The general took it very hard.
00:54:50I'm sure it's only temporary. He'll be all right. Don't worry.
00:54:53Everything else is under control. I'll...
00:54:57Hey, you guys. We're in trouble.
00:55:00Off our course?
00:55:01No, the general.
00:55:02Could've hit a blast he just threw at the wheel.
00:55:04Not just that Bible talk he's been spouting lately. Crazy stuff.
00:55:11Things like blowing up the ship. Things like that.
00:55:15Gone.
00:55:17Just like Cooper.
00:55:19Listen, you slimy little calumniator.
00:55:21If you were one-tenth a man, the general is you'd be twice the man you are.
00:55:25What he says or how he acts is not for you to criticize.
00:55:28And if I catch you doing it again, I'll pull out your filthy tongue and strangle you with it.
00:55:32Sam, how about coming down to the parlor and have a little cup of tea with a lonesome old friend?
00:56:01Look at her. All red-faced and pouting.
00:56:03Like she might be angry with us.
00:56:04And with us coming all this way to visit her.
00:56:06Look at her. All red-faced and pouting.
00:56:08Like she might be angry with us.
00:56:09And with us coming all this way to visit her.
00:56:13Half fewer, Sergeant Siegel. We've got to release the boosters.
00:56:16Hey, don't we need them tanks?
00:56:17Hey, don't we need them tanks?
00:56:18They're empty. Just excess baggage now.
00:56:19The reserve tanks below will take us back home.
00:56:20Ready, sir.
00:56:21Ready, sir.
00:56:22Jettison boosters.
00:56:23Jettison boosters.
00:56:24Jettison boosters.
00:56:25Jettison boosters.
00:56:26Jettison boosters.
00:56:27Jettison boosters.
00:56:28And with us coming all this way to visit her.
00:56:29And with us coming all this way to visit her.
00:56:34Half fewer, Sergeant Siegel. We've got to release the boosters.

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.
00:57:09That's what would happen to us if we hit the atmosphere that fast.
00:57:18All right, then.
00:57:19Positions for landing.
00:57:39.
00:57:40Jettison boosters.
00:57:41.
00:57:42Come on.
00:58:12Going nicely, sir. Clear landing ahead.
00:58:15No. No.
00:58:18We mustn't. We can't.
00:58:21We haven't the right.
00:58:29General, stop! What are you doing? You're killing!
00:58:42No!
00:58:45No!
00:58:47No!
00:58:49No!
00:58:51No!
00:58:55No!
00:58:57Oh, my God.
00:59:27Hold your places until the ship is razed.
00:59:57The ship is upright, sir.
01:00:14Good landing.
01:00:19This is a good landing?
01:00:22Any landing's a good landing.
01:00:32Gravity.
01:00:34Beautiful gravity.
01:00:38Let's go below, shall we?
01:00:50Let's go.
01:00:51Let's go.
01:00:52Let's go.
01:00:53Let's go.
01:00:55Let's go.
01:00:56Let's go.
01:00:57Let's go.
01:00:59Let's go.
01:02:00It feels like good soil.
01:02:07Given water, I bet you can grow anything here we grow on Earth.
01:02:11Big things, maybe.
01:02:12Like in Jack the Beanstalk.
01:02:15It'd be wonderful to try and see what could happen.
01:02:17I have some flowers, see.
01:02:20I've been carrying them ever since I left Hawaii.
01:02:22I was going to try them on the moon.
01:02:24But here in this soil, you'd need a pipeline from the Colorado River to water them.
01:02:31Captain, look.
01:02:38Must have damaged the pipes when we landed.
01:02:40Wait here.
01:02:40General, stop!
01:02:55General, stop!
01:02:57General, stop!
01:03:09This wax melteth before the fire,
01:03:13shall let the wicked perish at the front of the sky!
01:03:15Stop it! You mad!
01:03:17Hydrazine and nitric acid explode on contact!
01:03:19We'll be blown to bits!
01:03:21Foster! 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!
01:03:57I...
01:04:14Don't blame yourself.
01:04:18Don't blame yourself.
01:04:31You killed him.
01:04:32No.
01:04:33Your own father!
01:04:35You murdered him!
01:04:37Were you no good?
01:04:39Oh, goodness!
01:04:44No.
01:04:46No, Captain.
01:04:48You'll not die.
01:04:49Not now.
01:04:52But when we get back, and we'll get back,
01:04:56we'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!
01:05:34Sometimes you'll get to know,
01:05:35as if you do not get to listen.
01:05:36Well, many people are alive and they'll come with you,
01:05:37LordI've got to listen to me!
01:05:44Indeed, yes, Von Madme see you all!
01:05:49You might have in a minute,
01:05:51Be with him to listen,
01:05:52It'll come to listen,
01:05:53just to know,
01:05:54and keep your lips on April,
01:05:55and keep your lips rolling with that.
01:05:56When you're so different,
01:05:58you've got to salute yourself and open up.
01:06:00When youде's like theroycurrent había,
01:06:02There'll FedEx
01:06:33No signs of water, not 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, except for one slight detail.
01:07:24The Earth wouldn't be there when we arrived.
01:07:29How 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
01:08:20Call the wheel again, Sergeant.
01:08:31What for?
01:08:33To wish him a merry Christmas?
01:08:38Spaceship the wheel.
01:08:40Come in, wheel.
01:08:42Over.
01:08:45How long are you going to keep doing this?
01:08:47We ain't hurt for the wheel of months.
01:08:51And supposing your answer, so what?
01:08:55Maybe we ask for room service
01:08:57and have them send up some ice water.
01:09:02We'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
01:09:17in the corner pocket of nowhere.
01:09:19We could report a murder, Captain.
01:09:23I 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 own eyes.
01:09:54Spaceship calling the wheel.
01:09:56Spaceship to wheel.
01:09:58Over.
01:09:58The general wasn't crazy.
01:10:05He was right.
01:10:06We asked for it.
01:10:08There's the curse on this ship
01:10:09and everybody in it.
01:10:11Baloney.
01:10:13You leave that stuff back on earth
01:10:15but it don't operate
01:10:17past the thousand mile limit.
01:10:22Only God can make a tree.
01:10:26Okay?
01:10:26Where is it?
01:10:29Where's the trees
01:10:31and the flowers
01:10:32and the grass?
01:10:34Where'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!
01:10:54Merry Christmas, boys!
01:10:56Merry Christmas, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys,
01:11:56Leave that, Mahoney. We won't take anything unessential to the voyage.
01:12:11Everything okay up there, sir?
01:12:13All secure. By this time tomorrow, we'll be on our way home.
01:12:16All right.
01:12:26Just about finished, Captain.
01:12:28I think these soil and mineral samples will prove that life is possible on Mars.
01:12:32It 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 enluding.
01:12:53But 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. Captain, come.
01:13:17Look. Look. Look.
01:13:20It grew. A flower.
01:13:23A seed from Earth growing here.
01:13:25Look at it. A flower on Mars.
01:13:28It is a flower.
01:13:29It is a flower.
01:13:30It is a flower.
01:13:31It is a flower.
01:13:32It is a flower.
01:13:33It is a flower.
01:13:34It is a flower.
01:13:35It is a flower.
01:13:36It is a flower.
01:13:37It is a flower.
01:13:38It is a flower.
01:13:39It is a flower.
01:13:40It is a flower.
01:13:41It is a flower.
01:13:42It is a flower.
01:13:43It is a flower.
01:13:44It is a flower.
01:13:45It is a flower.
01:13:46It is a flower.
01:13:47It is a flower.
01:13:48It is a flower.
01:13:49It is a flower.
01:13:50It is a flower.
01:13:51It is a flower.
01:13:52It is a flower.
01:13:53It is a flower.
01:13:54It is a flower.
01:13:55It is a flower.
01:13:56It is a flower.
01:13:58It is a flower.
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. 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?
01:14:45It'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.
01:14:59We'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? I'm sold.
01:15:16Punch it, Captain.
01:15:29Please...
01:15:36Yes, sir.
01:15:56It's moving.
01:16:19It's working.
01:16:26Try it again, Captain.
01:16:47That's it. I don't get it.
01:16:57We're part of the dead killer. Protect yourselves. We're blasting off.
01:17:02We're part of the dead killer. Protect yourselves. We're blasting off.
01:17:12We're part of the dead killer. Protect yourselves. We're blasting off.
01:17:17Good.
01:17:20Good.
01:17:23Yes.
01:17:26I'm gonna run.
01:17:27Oh my God.
01:17:39Okay.
01:17:42Oh, my God.
01:18:12You did it.
01:18:29A date is a date, Sergeant.
01:18:42A date,nik.
01:18:57quyết Strech
01:19:04It 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?
01:19:28Fit 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.
01:19:58Thanks.
