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 state of
00:01:39hibernation. That is, the human body had put through a congealing process simulating an
00:01:45apparent death. At a preset time, under the impulses of an electric brain, the heart resumes its
00:01:55normal beat. The lungs begin their regular functioning. The blood flowing evenly again.
00:02:00In short, man is reacquiring his earthly faculties.
00:02:07He will be impossible for the maintenance of the pelvis. The world is with high levels
00:02:10of the protection and the suffering of the Touchdown. To overcome the bridge. The
00:02:14dictating system is moving on to the core. The young woman said to the connection
00:02:15over a moment in the middle of the tunnel, it is in a high level where she will be
00:02:17going to cover the body, and however, she will have to cover the body of her. She will
00:02:19change her body, and with this frame. She will be able to fix her, and the
00:02:20artist's body will be able to carry on her face. For her to make her face, the
00:02:21ihiland , theoul outerity in her face, she will
00:02:52To counteract the state of weightlessness caused by lack of gravitation, special magnetic
00:02:58boots are provided to control the balance of space travelers.
00:03:22While the crew and I were still in a state of hibernation, the engineer pilot, Al, reported
00:03:39our approach to international satellite Zulu X-34.
00:03:43Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling Zulu X-34.
00:03:48Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling Zulu X-34, over.
00:03:52Zulu X-34 to Bravo Zulu 8-8, go ahead.
00:03:56Contact established, hibernation period finished, over.
00:04:00Is that you, Al?
00:04:02Hi, Richard.
00:04:03Any news to relay?
00:04:05The usual nausea when awakening, my boy.
00:04:09Bravo Zulu 8-8 has entered orbit of your satellite.
00:04:13Bravo Zulu 8-8 closing electronic brain.
00:04:16Over.
00:04:18Roger.
00:04:19Everything's in your hands again, Al.
00:04:20Thanks for nothing, pal.
00:04:22Hey, we got cargo aboard.
00:04:25We've already been informed.
00:04:27Reporter, eh?
00:04:28Did you wake up yet?
00:04:29No, not yet.
00:04:30I haven't brought him his coffee.
00:04:33Bravo Zulu 8-8 requesting your position.
00:04:36Coordinates pi 2-1, over.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:40I'll send you the reporter as soon as possible.
00:04:43Bravo Zulu 8-8 closing.
00:04:48Hello, Archie.
00:04:49How you feeling?
00:04:50Man, this time I had a dream.
00:04:53You had a dream?
00:04:54What about?
00:04:55I dreamt I was sleeping.
00:04:59Take over the controls while I wake up the baby.
00:05:02Ah, this is true when we took off.
00:05:04You're saying I'm a lullaby?
00:05:05That's right.
00:05:06Just call me space wet nurse.
00:05:08Next time, why don't you just bring a cow along?
00:05:10A pacifier would do.
00:05:15Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling extra 3-4.
00:05:17Over.
00:05:18Go ahead, Bravo Zulu 8-8.
00:05:48To come out of a state of hibernation is an eerie sensation.
00:05:50I didn't know who or where I was until I heard Al's voice.
00:05:52Hi there, spaceman.
00:05:53To 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.
00:06:19Hello.
00:06:24This was not my first space flight.
00:06:27Previous assignments for my newspaper had sent me to the moon many times, but never into
00:06:33the vast reaches of deep space.
00:06:37I feared that ten days in a cramped ship with a crew of seven men who would resent a reporter's
00:06:43questions and lack of usefulness might make me an unpopular passenger.
00:06:49The 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.
00:07:05Why 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.
00:07:23Breakfast is served.
00:07:25Bravo, Zulu 88.
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 bad start.
00:07:41Calm down, my boy.
00:07:43You'll get along fine.
00:07:44Just control your nerves.
00:07:45There.
00:07:46From now on, you'll be able to hear my instructions.
00:07:54Just remember to regulate your volume now.
00:07:57Hey.
00:07:59You're forgetting the tools of your trade.
00:08:01What'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.
00:08:55Don'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.
00:09:08Minus 15.
00:09:11India Zulu 4-1.
00:09:13You ready?
00:09:145, 4, 2, 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.
00:09:24I was scared.
00:09:27The artificial satellite is like an island in the sky.
00:09:36In order not to disturb its calculated orbital chart, we lined up 2,000 feet parallel to it.
00:09:43The only way to get there was 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.
00:10:14That'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.
00:10:28A chilly sense of emptiness.
00:10:32Do you understand me, Al?
00:10:34Sure, I understand.
00:10:35Every baptism has its mystery, even 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.
00:10:57Learn how to...
00:10:58India Zulu 4-1.
00:10:59Get back to normal position.
00:11:01You're at the end of your trip.
00:11:22Once aboard Zulu Extra 3-4, I passed through the decompression chamber.
00:11:27I now regained my normal weight, because the gravitational area was similar to our Earth's.
00:11:34The reason for this being, all space stations rotate around a central axis.
00:11:39In the ship's cabin, I was met by King 116, the doctor in charge of all crew members' physical and mental health.
00:12:00Take off your space suit and report to the commander.
00:12:02He's waiting for you.
00:12:06Hey, what kind of a guy is our reporter?
00:12:09He still smells earthy.
00:12:39Special correspondent Ray Peterson, reporting to the commander.
00:12:45I've heard you're rather famous on Earth.
00:12:48Well, I see my fame has reached the stars.
00:12:51But let me give you a bit of advice.
00:12:53Here among the stars, it is better not to be quite so cocky.
00:12:58You are only here to do a job.
00:13:00Don't worry, that's all I intend to do.
00:13:02On 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 don't have any news value.
00:13:23Sullivan.
00:13:23Yes, sir?
00:13:24How long would it take to reinstall the terminal stages to the spaceship that 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 as soon as possible.
00:13:33I must go to base 12 on Mars.
00:13:35Yes, sir.
00:13:37You talk about Mars as 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.
00:13:56But my organization has.
00:13:58Don't forget, Peterson,
00:13:59that everything you put on your tape recorder will have to be sent by me before 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.
00:14:22Working 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.
00:14:54For authorization.
00:14:56Is it necessary?
00:14:57Absolutely necessary.
00:14:58Thank you, sir.
00:15:01Okay.
00:15:07Hoping this special detail might make a good story,
00:15:11I went outside, without permission,
00:15:12to observe and photograph it.
00:15:15This special detail was a refueling operation.
00:15:19One of the most dangerous and delicate operations in space flights.
00:15:23The engineers carried an enormous tube from the space station
00:15:26and carefully attached it to a rear valve on our ship.
00:15:29Thousands of gallons of precious neohydroxene were being pumped into our fuel tanks in order for us to go on to Mars.
00:15:40Look out!
00:15:44The meteorite!
00:15:45Suddenly, I saw a fiery ball racing toward the cosmonaut next to me.
00:15:49Typically, I pushed him out of the way.
00:15:51But the subsequent reaction caused me to bounce against the connection of the fuel valve,
00:15:56disconnecting it and letting the irreplaceable neohydroxene escape.
00:15:59Close the fuel valve!
00:16:04Close the fuel valve!
00:16:10Lost.
00:16:11Five hundred gallons of hydrazine.
00:16:20Lost.
00:16:20I'm sorry.
00:16:22Furthermore, you went without my permission.
00:16:26I said I'm sorry, even 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 is much more serious than the mere loss of a life.
00:16:39Evidently, Commander, my way of thinking must seem prehistoric to you.
00:16:43I thought nothing was worse than 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 going 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, you must ask permission for 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 my second-in-command.
00:17:12And I'm afraid you'll find that he's tougher than I am.
00:17:15You may go now.
00:17:18You may go.
00:17:21First, Commander, tell me one thing.
00:17:23Why do you deny me the honor of talking to you?
00:17:30I'm leaving, Peterson.
00:17:31I'll see you next time.
00:17:42I'll see you next time.
00:17:44Hey, 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 Zuru 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.
00:18:33May I come in?
00:18:47Hey, spaceman.
00:18:48Hey, spaceman.
00:18:56Are you addressing me?
00:18:58Yes, but you're a...
00:19:00Go on.
00:19:01You'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,
00:19:17and 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?
00:19:35Oh, you see, you won't have to send them anywhere.
00:19:39I'll pay for them, but 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.
00:19:54When I'm not working with the astro compass,
00:19:56I like to substitute for the section chemist.
00:19:58But 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, but 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.
00:20:34No, 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, I've got work to do.
00:21:06Yankee 1-3.
00:21:10I forgot.
00:21:12Thank you, Ray.
00:21:14I really mean thanks.
00:21:24Following 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.
00:21:33India's Yulu 4-1.
00:21:34We just made it.
00:21:36I 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 the girls, too.
00:21:59Ah, so you have a weakness for the weakest sex.
00:22:02And she doesn't even call him sir, just George.
00:22:05Buy all our rings around Saturn.
00:22:06They were right when they called you a meddler.
00:22:09Al, he's ashamed of that.
00:22:12Hold right now.
00:22:12I'm going to make a sharp jerk.
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 this 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.
00:22:42Sulu 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.
00:23:26I'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.
00:23:37Alpha 2 does not answer.
00:23:40We think the pilot may be dead.
00:23:49This could mean the end.
00:23:50That'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.
00:24:22Do 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.
00:25:41No.
00:25:41I prefer to do without you.
00:25:45I 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, then would you give up taking one with you?
00:26:08Perhaps not.
00:26:09Perhaps not.
00:26:11You see, you're not being objective.
00:26:15Besides, 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.
00:26:26No.
00:26:27I'm just begging you.
00:26:30I understand you, George.
00:26:32I know that you always try to be worthy of your position, but you'd be better off if for once you tried...
00:26:39What?
00:26:40...to 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.
00:27:26The nose of a spaceship is always up, even when landing.
00:27:29He's not referring to the spaceship, Al.
00:27:31He's talking about me.
00:27:32My congratulations, Commander.
00:27:35Listen, Peterson.
00:27:36Remember you're extraneous here, so please keep to your place.
00:27:39What place?
00:27:42I don't even have a chair to sit on.
00:27:44Look, there are two cons 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 all children should go to bed.
00:27:55Yeah.
00:28:01Listen, ever since we came on this trip, you've all done your very best to make me feel like an outsider.
00:28:08My congratulations, Peterson.
00:28:09What the devil is going on?
00:28:13I don't know, sir.
00:28:14Looks like it might be a magnetic storm.
00:28:15Impossible.
00:28:16Listen to the wave boom, sir.
00:28:17Look, Captain.
00:28:18What the devil is going on?
00:28:19I don't know, sir.
00:28:20Looks like it might be a magnetic storm.
00:28:21Impossible.
00:28:22Listen to the wave boom, sir.
00:28:23Look, Captain.
00:28:24Give me its position.
00:28:25Coordinate 113.
00:28:26Inertial position of object 512.
00:28:27Inertial position of object 512.
00:28:28What the devil is going on?
00:28:29What the devil is going on?
00:28:30I don't know, sir.
00:28:31Looks like it might be a magnetic storm.
00:28:32Impossible.
00:28:33Listen to the wave boom, sir.
00:28:34Look, Captain.
00:28:35Get me its position.
00:28:38Coordinate 113.
00:28:39Inertial position of object 512.
00:28:54Try to establish contact.
00:28:55It looks like a moon ship.
00:28:58Bravo, Zulu, 8-8.
00:29:01Bravo, Zulu, 8-8.
00:29:04Bravo Zulu 88 to unidentified object, over.
00:29:11They're asking for help, sir.
00:29:13Switch to voice circuit.
00:29:24Metro Sierra 13, Metro Sierra 13 to Bravo Zulu 88, over.
00:29:30Bravo Zulu 88 to Metro Sierra 13, go ahead, over.
00:29:33Tanks are exploded. Engines have failed.
00:29:36We're out of control and being attracted to Mars, over.
00:29:39Try to get back into the orbit around Mars.
00:29:42We'll attempt rescue.
00:29:44What caused the explosion? Over.
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.
00:30:01One dead.
00:30:01The engineer, put 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?
00:30:22No, we won't be able to make it.
00:30:28One of Mars' satellites is crossing our path.
00:30:32Driving engines again.
00:30:39David.
00:30:40David.
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.
00:30:58David, don't.
00:31:05What are you doing?
00:31:07Can you make it?
00:31:08I'm climbing.
00:31:14One of my engines has started.
00:31:16I'm climbing.
00:31:20I'm getting lighter.
00:31:21I can make it.
00:31:22I'm getting lighter.
00:31:24I can make it.
00:31:27No!
00:31:28Stop the engines to get ready for a vertical landing.
00:31:37We will fly above Bobos.
00:31:47Now.
00:31:50Engines at seven gammas.
00:31:58Look there to the right.
00:32:05Now.
00:32:10Engines at eight gammas.
00:32:14Look there to the right.
00:32:17Perhaps.
00:32:18Engines at 11 gallows
00:32:32Gyros are locked
00:32:34Move into vertical position
00:32:48Engines at 12 gallows
00:32:50What's going on?
00:32:53We're going down
00:32:54But it's insane
00:32:56With all stages full of fuel
00:32:58We're like a bomb
00:32:59Landing area at 2 degrees
00:33:03Just below us
00:33:05Engines at 14 gallows
00:33:07Engines at 16 gallows
00:33:18Engines at 15 gallows
00:33:24He thousands of gold
00:33:26Engines in 16 gallows
00:33:30engines at 14 gallows
00:33:43Nine degrees to starboard.
00:34:06One more and we would have remained here forever.
00:34:13He'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.
00:34:40You stay here and look after him.
00:34:43I'll take care of the entrance.
00:34:51Gyros unlocked.
00:34:52Roger.
00:35:13How is it?
00:35:27Bad.
00:35:29I think you'll hold out until we get to Mars.
00:35:31We're almost there anyway, aren't we?
00:35:33No.
00:35:33What do you mean, no?
00:35:36We've changed course.
00:35:37We're now heading for Venus.
00:35:38Your what?
00:35:41A direct order from the high command.
00:35:43And you accepted it?
00:35:44Do you realize, Commander, there's a dying man in there?
00:36:01I don't have to account to you for my actions.
00:36:03Look, Captain.
00:36:05I'm picking up an area of intense heat.
00:36:07It's almost as hot as the photonic field of the sun itself.
00:36:12Turn on the safety system.
00:36:14I think you should tell him, sir.
00:36:17It's no longer top secret.
00:36:20Alpha 2, propelled by photonic energy, is now without a pilot.
00:36:25She is floating in space and is only controlled by the electronic brain.
00:36:30The photonic heat which our radar has picked up has the power of destruction and death.
00:36:38Alpha 2 has re-entered the solar system.
00:36:41During the sun's next revolution, she will start to orbit around the Earth and will destroy
00:36:46it completely, burning everything and eliminating all forms of life.
00:36:50Have we any hope of stopping her?
00:36:52That's why we're going to Venus.
00:36:57It's the nearest point to the elliptical path of Alpha 2.
00:37:01We have but one chance in a million.
00:37:09Our world was in danger, about to be destroyed.
00:37:13Perhaps in a few days, maybe in a few hours, it was up to us.
00:37:18A handful of cosmonauts from Earth, millions of miles away,
00:37:21to try and save humanity.
00:37:25Lucy, you're crying.
00:37:34Those dark spots.
00:37:37Those continents.
00:37:39And there are the oceans.
00:37:41And the trees.
00:37:43You can't see them.
00:37:44In my mind, I can.
00:37:45I'd like to run down a road that's a lot of pine trees.
00:37:50Would you?
00:37:52Yes, and feel just once again the excitement of speed.
00:37:56But we're already running at 90,000 miles an hour.
00:37:59And we're standing still.
00:38:01That's nothing but an illusion.
00:38:07Do you know what day it is?
00:38:10Don't you know that in space we don't count the days?
00:38:13No, but do you know what date it is?
00:38:16It's the 359th of rotation around the sun.
00:38:20That's just part of it.
00:38:22It's Christmas, Lucy.
00:38:24We started to land at the interplanetary base on Venus,
00:38:46the largest, best-equipped base, closest to Alpha 2.
00:38:50From there, Alpha 2 could be intercepted
00:38:54and, we hoped, destroyed
00:38:55by the remote-controlled atomic missiles.
00:39:12Hey, Archie.
00:39:13Is that the base?
00:39:14Yes, right under the protective dome.
00:39:16There's too much hydrogen in Venus's atmosphere.
00:39:20From here, it looks like the glass dome of a temple.
00:39:24You don't need a respirator inside.
00:39:25What about those plugs?
00:39:26Are they purifying filters?
00:39:27Hey, that's already the course of showing results, isn't it?
00:39:31Tell me,
00:39:32why is it that with him he wants to protect himself?
00:39:34He 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,
00:39:41only this time it won't be for sightseeing.
00:39:43Emergency action was taken immediately by firing an atomic missile at Alpha 2
00:39:53in an attempt to destroy this deadly mechanical monster.
00:39:568,500, 8,000 miles, 7,500, 7,000 miles, 6,500, 6,000 miles, 5,800, 5,500, 5,200, 5,000 miles.
00:40:18We'll have a chance to hit her only if the electronic brain which propels her
00:40:33has gone out of control.
00:40:36You see, the two photonic generators which are moving gyroscopically at each end of the spaceship
00:40:43are creating around Alpha 2 an invisible sphere of heat
00:40:48which radiates up to 5,000 miles.
00:40:53We've just had the proof of it.
00:40:55It's indestructible.
00:40:57Though one of man's dreams has finally come true,
00:41:01an indestructible destroyer.
00:41:03Unless we have a sudden change in the next solar system revolution,
00:41:09Alpha 2 will start orbiting around the Earth
00:41:12at only 3,500 miles from it.
00:41:16That means 1,500 miles within the safety limit.
00:41:21In a few days, maybe a few hours,
00:41:25our planet will become a mass of boiling mud
00:41:27as it was soon after its formation.
00:41:30We mustn't give up hope.
00:41:33Something might stop it in time.
00:41:35Maybe a miracle.
00:41:39And while we're waiting here for your miracle,
00:41:42I would suggest that we immediately put into operation
00:41:45all the means at our disposal.
00:41:47They've already prepared to fire missiles from the other hemisphere.
00:41:50Meanwhile, why don't you order your men
00:41:52to reach the audio stations on the beach?
00:41:54You stand by Electronic Telescope No. 7.
00:42:026,800.
00:42:075,700.
00:42:105,200.
00:42:115,000.
00:42:134,500.
00:42:144,000.
00:42:153,700.
00:42:162,900.
00:42:182,400.
00:42:202,200.
00:42:21I don't understand.
00:42:28With your permission, sir, I have an explanation.
00:42:30What is it?
00:42:31I think I've found the answer.
00:42:33Tell it to us.
00:42:35I'm sure that due to some technical error,
00:42:37that spaceship is vulnerable.
00:42:40The two photonic deflectors at both...
00:42:42...herability?
00:42:43...two semispheres separated in their fields by a channel.
00:42:46You mean like a halved orange?
00:42:50A perfect example, my son.
00:42:52That's why a missile has gone through.
00:42:54According to you, it was the only one fired
00:42:56exactly into the center of the channel.
00:42:58But why did the last one disintegrate it?
00:43:002,200 miles.
00:43:01Because of some imperceptible deviation.
00:43:03Perhaps it was attracted by one of the photonic fields.
00:43:06Which is right, Al?
00:43:08There's still a chance.
00:43:10What chance?
00:43:13We'd have to fire on a straight line
00:43:14from another spaceship
00:43:16traveling alongside Alpha-2
00:43:17at the same rate of speed.
00:43:19I think I've earned the right to try, sir.
00:43:21Why the right?
00:43:22Because if my hunch turns out to be correct,
00:43:25I'd like to be the one to receive the credit.
00:43:28And if it's wrong,
00:43:30you want to be the one to risk it.
00:43:32There's an old atomic spaceship here, sir.
00:43:35I'll use its remote-controlled missiles.
00:43:38May I go ahead, sir?
00:43:43Yes.
00:43:44And I hope you'll manage to save humanity.
00:43:53We'll take off and follow you as close as possible, Al.
00:43:56All of us.
00:43:59As if we were right there with you.
00:44:02All of us.
00:44:03Hey, Ray.
00:44:09Now you have a chance to do a real exclusive.
00:44:13It'll be a universal scoop.
00:44:17Let's just make it a world scoop.
00:44:18Get your door!
00:44:43We're out of it now.
00:45:06You live very well, Peterson.
00:45:07It's not everybody that can stand 16 gammas.
00:45:11Considering the fact that I'm a parasite.
00:45:14Tango Sierra 13.
00:45:16Tango Sierra 13.
00:45:17To Bravo Zulu 8-8.
00:45:19Over.
00:45:19Al, piloting the old atomic spaceship, Tango Sierra 13, flew alongside us.
00:45:36Both spaceships shut off their engines, and the inertial thrust allowed them to fly at fantastic speeds.
00:45:42His mission, to find the channel between the two semispheres of Alpha-2.
00:45:47Tango Sierra 13, go ahead.
00:46:05Everything okay, Captain?
00:46:07Perfect.
00:46:09How's the reporter?
00:46:13Doing fine.
00:46:14Requesting route check.
00:46:18Present inertial speed, 30,000 miles.
00:46:21Coordinate 1-3 in respect to Vega.
00:46:25Estimated intersection point with Alpha-2 on coordinate 4-1 in respect to Earth at 18 degrees.
00:46:32Over.
00:46:33Correct.
00:46:34But change approximately 3 degrees at intersection point with Alpha-2.
00:46:40We'll go.
00:46:40I'll request another route check on approach, and let's hope for the best.
00:46:45Radio out.
00:46:53Satellite Zulu extra 3-4.
00:46:56Satellite Zulu extra 3-4 calling Bravo Zulu 8-8.
00:46:59Over.
00:47:00Bravo Zulu 8-8 to satellite.
00:47:03Zulu extra 3-4.
00:47:04Go ahead.
00:47:05Captain, this is Sullivan.
00:47:06What's the trouble, Sullivan?
00:47:07About 45 seconds ago, the photonic field around spaceship Alpha-2 came into collision with
00:47:14the 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?
00:47:30Yes, 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.
00:47:47Yes, sir.
00:47:48It will be on top of us any minute.
00:47:51What about the men, Sullivan?
00:47:52They 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.
00:48:12It's too late, sir.
00:48:15Sullivan.
00:48:15Sullivan.
00:48:17Sullivan.
00:48:18Can you hear me?
00:48:21Sullivan!
00:48:22Sullivan!
00:48:24Sullivan!
00:48:42Ray?
00:48:45How?
00:48:46Don't forget Sullivan and your scoop.
00:48:49Write this.
00:48:50He was never afraid.
00:48:51Since man, even in space, changes his position, but not his character.
00:48:58He is what he is, wherever he lives.
00:49:03What's he mean?
00:49:07What you're always saying.
00:49:10To himself, every man is a whole world.
00:49:14Commander, I've been able to locate the position of the space taxi.
00:49:27Tell her to me.
00:49:29Coordinate pi 28, 8 degrees, in respect to Aldebaran.
00:49:34We're changing course and we'll try to rescue the survivors.
00:49:36Bravo, Zulu, 8-8, to space taxi, Bravo 9-1.
00:49:47We're coming in to rescue you.
00:49:49Be ready to bail out.
00:49:54Bravo, Zulu, 8-8, to space taxi, Bravo 9-1.
00:49:59We're coming in to rescue you.
00:50:01Be ready to bail out.
00:50:02Out.
00:50:19The commander says your boys should rest.
00:50:21No, Ray.
00:50:22Show them in here.
00:50:23I just wanted to see you, boys.
00:50:40Mary.
00:50:41Jackson.
00:50:44I'm glad to see you.
00:50:47Go and get some rest now.
00:50:53Go and get some rest now.
00:51:23How 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.
00:51:39In a few seconds, I'll start firing the rockets.
00:51:545,000 miles, 4,500.
00:52:104,000.
00:52:113,500.
00:52:163,000.
00:52:175,500.
00:52:292,000.
00:52:291,000.
00:52:301,000.
00:52:315,000, 4,500, 4,000, 3,000, 2,500, 2,000, 1,500, 1,000, 900, 800, going to make it?
00:52:46700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200.
00:52:56Fire another rocket.
00:52:58I'm getting near it, sir.
00:53:09It's too dangerous, Al. Stop. You'll be attracted by the botanic fields.
00:53:13I've located the channel. I'll try to break through it, Commander.
00:53:17I'm sure that I can get at least 1,500 miles away from the spaceship.
00:53:21Come back, Al. It's murder.
00:53:23I'm 2,000 miles away from Alpha 2 now, sir. Let me try.
00:53:27Al, that's an order.
00:53:29I'm sorry, sir. But I'm not taking orders anymore.
00:53:33It's a useless sacrifice.
00:53:36Son, I'm 1,200 miles away from you.
00:53:39I don't want to disillusion you.
00:53:42But what would be the use of living if the Earth were destroyed?
00:53:46If the Earth were destroyed, we'd all be prisoners of space, with no hope of return.
00:53:56800 miles.
00:53:57Al, please!
00:53:58After 200 miles, you'll have only a very slight chance to keep on a steady course.
00:54:02That slight chance challenges me to try.
00:54:06And you will have to run your choice.
00:54:08Better to take other people.
00:54:09I'm not trying to keep on a steady course.
00:54:10You'll never come back.
00:54:11I'll be fired.
00:54:12I'll be fired.
00:54:13You'll never come back.
00:54:14You'll never tell.
00:54:15You'll never make any of it.
00:54:16onna pull up your eyes now.
00:54:17When I'm shooting over to the place, you'll never let meetto you come back at it.
00:54:18It's just, you'll never let me go at that line.
00:54:20I'll let me square the servers.
00:54:21Al, you don't know what you're doing.
00:54:36Maybe not, Commander.
00:54:38But in a few seconds, I'll know for sure.
00:54:51Al has succeeded in proving the existence of a channel by 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.
00:55:21Well, then, I don't know.
00:55:28What's that object that keeps appearing on the screen?
00:55:36It's the space taxi from the disintegrated satellite.
00:55:42It is now circling in orbit around us.
00:55:45The space taxi.
00:55:55The space taxi.
00:56:03I rode on it once with Al.
00:56:04Are you afraid, Lucy?
00:56:22Yes, for him.
00:56:25I understand.
00:56:26But love has no meaning anymore, George.
00:56:37Does it?
00:56:41Perhaps it's the only thing that does matter.
00:56:44The world of human feelings has been much less explored than the whole of the universe put together.
00:56:57We've been congratulating ourselves on our progress in going faster and faster and faster, when, in reality, we've only been getting further away from ourselves.
00:57:22Lucy, take my place, will you?
00:57:38Lucy.
00:57:38Take my place, will you?
00:57:40Where do you think you're going?
00:58:05Out, in the space taxi.
00:58:08That's madness.
00:58:10Maybe so, but it's not half as mad as the idea that brought us to this point.
00:58:13You are staying here.
00:58:15Listen.
00:58:16Lucy loves you.
00:58:18And 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.
00:58:29Why stop me?
00:58:30We are all going to get killed anyway.
00:58:32I'm going to stop you even if I have to use force.
00:58:36I'm going to stop you.
00:58:37I'm going to stop you.
00:58:38Let's go.
00:58:39Let's go.
00:58:54Let's go.
00:59:02Commander!
00:59:03He's going to make it.
00:59:17He's picked up the botanic field alongside the channel.
00:59:30To find my way through the channel, I had to throw to the right and left any loose objects
00:59:48in the space taxi in order to judge the distance between the two curtains of disintegration.
00:59:53Look, it's insane!
00:59:58The channel is getting down.
01:00:05Every second.
01:00:07What's he throwing out?
01:00:08Plugs, transistors, the spare parts from the mechanic's tool kit.
01:00:13George, I'm going to make it!
01:00:17I'll get through!
01:00:19Go on, Ray.
01:00:21Go on.
01:00:23You're nearly there!
01:00:24I don't have anything else to throw out!
01:00:38Get rid of everything which isn't essential!
01:00:41Quick!
01:00:45The path is clear!
01:00:46George!
01:00:47I'm going through!
01:00:52The path is clear!
01:00:53George!
01:00:54I'm going through!
01:00:59Don't lose time!
01:01:09The hatch is above you, right in the middle of the sphere.
01:01:39Ray! Can you hear me? Ray, answer me!
01:02:01Go ahead, George. I'm listening.
01:02:04Get into the pilot seat and disconnect the electronic brain.
01:02:09It should be on the left-hand panel.
01:02:12Turn off everything else.
01:02:23The pilot's still inside the hibernation cell. Dead.
01:02:27Disconnect all contacts on the left-hand panel.
01:02:39George, they're already disconnected.
01:02:42The electronic brain. Ray, you must disconnect the electronic brain.
01:02:48I'm standing in front of it. What should I do?
01:02:59Destroy it. Disconnect the cables.
01:03:03I can't. They won't come loose.
01:03:20He can cut them.
01:03:22There are emergency tools right under the footrest of the pilot's seat.
01:03:27Did you hear, Ray? Under the footrest.
01:03:30All right. Quick.
01:03:33You'd better hurry, sir. We're entering the Earth's gravity zone.
01:03:37Our speed is increasing.
01:03:39Use a pair of wire cutters.
01:03:40Use a pair of wire cutters.
01:03:42Use them, George.
01:03:44Now cut the wires.
01:03:46I'm cutting through the last wire.
01:04:07Ray's deflector has stopped.
01:04:10Maybe we've made it.
01:04:16How can you prove that the photonic field has been disintegrated?
01:04:19There's only one way of telling for certain.
01:04:25We're coming in.
01:04:387,000.
01:04:406,500.
01:04:436,000.
01:04:455,500.
01:04:475,000.
01:04:49We're getting through it.
01:04:51Ray, we're coming.
01:04:53The nightmare is over.
01:04:59Hurry up, Ray.
01:05:00We're coming.
01:05:01Get ready to be rescued.
01:05:11We're along, Sergeant Ray.
01:05:12Bayload.
01:05:13It's over.
01:05:14eres
01:05:17George! Lucy! The external hatch is jammed! It won't open! It will never open again! Never!
01:05:33Try again, Ray! Try!
01:05:34Quick!
01:05:38He can't open it. He cut the cables. There's no more power inside the ship.
01:05:47Earth Base 9. Earth Base 9. Earth Base 9 to Bravo Zulu 8-8. Can you hear us? Over.
01:05:56Bravo Zulu 8-8 to Earth Base 9. Go ahead.
01:06:00Are you all going insane up there? If 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. There's a man inside.
01:06:14We're going down to try to rescue him. Space suits on.
01:06:29Lucy, take my place.
01:06:38We'll manage.
01:06:39Ray? Ray?
01:06:40Lucy.
01:06:41George and the others are coming to get you out.
01:06:42I can't hold out any longer. I can't control the oxygen flow.
01:06:45Use the regulator, Ray.
01:06:46I don't have it anymore. It was the last thing I threw out into space.
01:06:48I can't hold out any longer. I can't control the oxygen flow.
01:06:49Use the regulator, Ray.
01:06:50I don't have it anymore. It was the last thing I threw out into space.
01:06:52Ray, you must hold out.
01:06:53Ray, you must hold out.
