Transcript

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

00:00:13Chronicle of New York.

00:00:15Ray Peterson reporting, dateline December 17th, year 2116, spaceship Bravo Zulu 88,

00:00:57Jupiter.

00:01:06The editor of my paper assigned me to cover a routine check of infraradiation flux on

00:01:11Galaxy M-12.

00:01:33The crew members, in order to overcome the earthly gravity, have been subjected to a

00:01:37state of hibernation, that is, the human body had put through a congealing process simulating

00:01:43an apparent death.

00:01:48At a preset time, under the impulses of an electric brain, the heart resumes its normal

00:01:53beat.

00:01:54The lungs begin their regular functioning, the blood going evenly again.

00:01:59In short, man is reacquiring his earthly faculties.

00:02:29To counteract the state of weightlessness caused by lack of gravitation, special magnetic

00:02:57boots are provided to control the balance of space travelers.

00:03:27While the crew and I were still in a state of hibernation, the engineer pilot, Al, reported

00:03:37our approach to International Satellite Zulu Extra 3-4.

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

00:03:47Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling Zulu Extra 3-4, over.

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

00:03:56Flight established, hibernation period finished, over.

00:03:59Is that you, Al?

00:04:01Hi, Richard.

00:04:02Any news to relay?

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

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

00:04:11Bravo Zulu 8-8 closing electronic brain, over.

00:04:16Roger.

00:04:17Everything's in your hands again, Al.

00:04:19Thanks for nothing, pal.

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

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

00:04:26Reporter, eh?

00:04:27Did he wake up yet?

00:04:28No, not yet.

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

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

00:04:35Coordinates Pi-2-1, over.

00:04:38Okay.

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

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

00:04:46Hello, Archie.

00:04:48How you feeling?

00:04:49Man, this time I had a dream.

00:04:51You had a dream?

00:04:52What about?

00:04:53I dreamt I was sleeping.

00:04:57Take over the controls while I wake up the baby.

00:05:00Al, is it true what we took out?

00:05:02You're saying I'm a lullaby?

00:05:04That's right.

00:05:05Just call me space wet nurse.

00:05:07Next time, why don't you just bring a cow along?

00:05:09A pacifier would do.

00:05:13Bravo Zulu 8-8 calling extra 3-4, over.

00:05:17Go ahead, Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:05:23Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:27Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:31Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:33Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:35Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:37Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:39Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:41Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:43Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:45Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:47Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:49Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:51Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:53Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:55Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:57Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:05:59Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:06:01Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:06:03Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:06:05To come out of a state of hibernation is an eerie sensation.

00:06:10I didn't know who or where I was until I heard Al's voice.

00:06:15Hi there, spaceman.

00:06:21Hello.

00:06:22This was not my first space flight.

00:06:25Previous assignments for my newspaper had sent me to the moon many times,

00:06:30but never into the vast reaches of deep space.

00:06:35I feared that ten days in a cramped ship with a crew of seven men

00:06:40who would resent a reporter's questions and lack of usefulness

00:06:44might make me an unpopular passenger.

00:06:48Your coffin was much too small.

00:06:56Couldn't you have found me a bigger one to sleep in?

00:06:59We didn't have one, Leech.

00:07:03Why do you call me that?

00:07:05No offense, kid.

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

00:07:12Where are we now?

00:07:13Outside.

00:07:15Outside what?

00:07:16Outside everything.

00:07:21Breakfast is served.

00:07:23Bravo Zulu 8-8, you're directly in line with us.

00:07:26We'll send you that reporter as soon as possible.

00:07:30Hey, Al, they're asking for the boy.

00:07:34Hey! Hey, Al!

00:07:36Al, what's happening?

00:07:38We're off to a bad start.

00:07:40Calm down, my boy.

00:07:41You'll get along fine.

00:07:42Just control your nerves.

00:07:46There.

00:07:48From now on, you'll be able to hear my instructions.

00:07:51Just remember to regulate your volume knob.

00:07:54Hey!

00:07:56You're forgetting the tools of your trade.

00:08:00What's the matter, sonny?

00:08:02Cut it out, Al.

00:08:04Are you scared, son?

00:08:07Stop treating me like a greenhorn.

00:08:10But that's what you are, my boy.

00:08:12I took the accelerated course before I started on this trip.

00:08:16I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:18I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:20I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:22I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:24I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:26I'm not afraid of you.

00:08:28How did you know I started on this trip?

00:08:30It probably was too quick.

00:08:32I'm not going to take all the air out of the decompression chamber.

00:08:35You'll have an easier exit.

00:08:37I'll give you a count from 20 to 1.

00:08:39And out you go.

00:08:41I know what to do.

00:08:43Don, you don't know anything yet.

00:08:53Don't touch the metal frame around the hatch.

00:08:55Minus 20.

00:08:57Why? Can't you see me?

00:08:59No.

00:09:01But the first time out, they all behaved the same way.

00:09:06Minus 15.

00:09:09India Zulu 4-1.

00:09:11You ready?

00:09:125, 4, 3...

00:09:14Wait a second.

00:09:152, 1.

00:09:16Out you go.

00:09:18Al was absolutely right.

00:09:21I was scared.

00:09:27The artificial satellite is like an island in the sky.

00:09:31In order not to disturb its calculated orbital chart,

00:09:35we lined up 2,000 feet parallel to it.

00:09:39The only way to get there

00:09:41was to float through the terrifying void between us.

00:09:57Keep talking, Al.

00:09:59What do you want to hear? Fairytale?

00:10:01Explain to me what's going on.

00:10:03That's something you'll have to find out for yourself.

00:10:05You still afraid?

00:10:07Yes.

00:10:09Of what?

00:10:11I don't know.

00:10:13You still there?

00:10:14Say something.

00:10:16What do you want to hear?

00:10:18I don't know.

00:10:20You're still there?

00:10:21Say something.

00:10:23What do you want to hear?

00:10:25A chilly sense of emptiness.

00:10:28Do you understand me, Al?

00:10:30Sure, I understand.

00:10:32Every baptism has its mystery,

00:10:35even out here in space.

00:10:37I've never felt so lonely.

00:10:43Hey, Al.

00:10:45Maybe if I try to turn around...

00:10:48I did it!

00:10:50Al!

00:10:52I'm turning!

00:10:54India Zulu 4-1,

00:10:56get back to normal position.

00:10:58You're at the end of your trip.

00:11:18Once aboard Zulu Extra 3-4,

00:11:21I passed through the decompression chamber.

00:11:24I now regained my normal weight

00:11:26because the gravitational area

00:11:28was similar to our Earth's.

00:11:30The reason for this being

00:11:32all space stations

00:11:34rotate around a central axis.

00:11:47In the ship's cabin,

00:11:49I was met by King 116,

00:11:51the doctor in charge

00:11:53of all crew members' physical

00:11:55and mental health.

00:11:57Take off your space suit

00:11:59and report to the commander.

00:12:01He's waiting for you.

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

00:12:05is our reporter?

00:12:07He still smells earthy.

00:12:19Special correspondent Ray Peterson

00:12:21reporting to the commander.

00:12:25I've heard you're rather famous

00:12:27on Earth.

00:12:29Well, I see my fame

00:12:31has reached the stars.

00:12:33Well, it's a good thing

00:12:35that you're here.

00:12:37It's a good thing

00:12:39that you're here.

00:12:41It's a good thing

00:12:43that you're here.

00:12:45It's a good thing

00:12:47as reached the stars.

00:12:49Let me give you a bit of advice.

00:12:51Here among the stars,

00:12:53it is better not to be quite so cocky.

00:12:55You are only here

00:12:57to do a job.

00:12:59Don't worry. That's all I intend to do.

00:13:01On condition that you don't

00:13:03interfere with ours.

00:13:05You've arrived here at a critical moment.

00:13:07So much the better.

00:13:09Peace and tranquility don't have any news value.

00:13:17Yes, sir.

00:13:18How long would it take to reinstall the terminal stages to the spaceship that arrived from

00:13:24Earth just now?

00:13:25That all depends, sir.

00:13:26We only have two mechanics on board.

00:13:27Cancel all rest periods.

00:13:28The ship must be ready as soon as possible.

00:13:29I must go to base 12 on Mars.

00:13:30Yes, sir.

00:13:31You talk about Mars as if it were just down the street.

00:13:32There are no streets here.

00:13:33I firmly oppose your unwelcome visit.

00:13:34Are you trying to play me for a fool?

00:13:35No, sir.

00:13:36I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:37I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:38I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:39I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:40I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:41I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:42I'm not playing you for a fool.

00:13:44Are you trying to flatter me?

00:13:48But the high command refused to listen to me.

00:13:51It's apparent that you have quite a pull there.

00:13:52Not me, but my organization has.

00:13:56Don't forget, Peterson, that everything you put on your tape recorder will have to be

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

00:14:03Here, everything is regulated by machines.

00:14:05You'll find that things are very different here.

00:14:08You may go now.

00:14:09Later on, you'll be shown to your quarters.

00:14:20Working crew is ready, sir.

00:14:22Any changes?

00:14:26No, Sullivan.

00:14:40Where is everybody going?

00:14:42For a picnic?

00:14:44The working crew is leaving on a space detail.

00:14:46What if I wanted to go along?

00:14:48To get some air?

00:14:50You'd have to go and ask the commander.

00:14:52For authorization.

00:14:54Is it necessary?

00:14:55Absolutely necessary.

00:14:59Okay.

00:15:05Hoping this special detail might make a good story,

00:15:09I went outside, without permission,

00:15:11to observe and photograph it.

00:15:13This special detail

00:15:15was a refueling operation.

00:15:17One of the most dangerous

00:15:19and delicate operations in space flight.

00:15:21The engineers carried an enormous

00:15:23tube from the space station

00:15:25and carefully attached it to a rear valve

00:15:27on our ship.

00:15:31Thousands of gallons of precious neo-hydrazine

00:15:33were being pumped into

00:15:35our fuel tanks

00:15:37to go on to Mars.

00:15:41Look out! The meteorite!

00:15:43Suddenly, I saw a fiery ball

00:15:45racing toward the cosmonaut next to me.

00:15:47Quickly, I pushed him out of the way.

00:15:49But the subsequent reaction

00:15:51caused me to bounce against the connection

00:15:53of the fuel valve,

00:15:55disconnecting it and letting

00:15:57the irreplaceable neo-hydrazine escape.

00:16:01Close the fuel valves!

00:16:07Lost.

00:16:11500 gallons of hydrazine.

00:16:17Lost.

00:16:19I'm sorry.

00:16:21Furthermore, you went without my permission.

00:16:25I said I'm sorry,

00:16:27even though I saved a man's life.

00:16:29You didn't come here to be a hero.

00:16:33The damage you have just caused

00:16:36is more serious than the mere loss of a life.

00:16:38Evidently, Commander,

00:16:40my way of thinking must seem prehistoric to you.

00:16:42I thought nothing was worse

00:16:44than the loss of a human being.

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

00:16:48Yankee 13.

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

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

00:16:56I knew that you were going to give me trouble.

00:16:58I see you're a psychologist, too.

00:17:00Now look here, Peterson.

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

00:17:05I'll do anything you do,

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

00:17:09That's an improvement.

00:17:11You'll have to ask my second-in-command,

00:17:13and I'm afraid you'll find that he's tougher than I am.

00:17:15You may go now.

00:17:17You may go.

00:17:21First, Commander, tell me one thing.

00:17:23Why do you deny me the honor of talking to you?

00:17:29I'm leaving, Peterson.

00:17:35I'm leaving.

00:18:02Hey, buddy.

00:18:04Pardon me for not having called you by name.

00:18:06Allow me. India Zulu 4-1.

00:18:09What do you want?

00:18:11I'm looking for someone.

00:18:13Excuse me, I'm looking for a number.

00:18:15Yankee 1-3.

00:18:17He was injured. He should be around here somewhere.

00:18:20Just dismissed. It was nothing but simple shock.

00:18:23Have a look in the biochemical lab.

00:18:26Please excuse my curiosity.

00:18:28Mr. King 1-1-6.

00:18:34May I come in?

00:18:37Hey, spaceman.

00:18:46Are you addressing me?

00:18:49Yes, but you're a...

00:18:51Go on.

00:18:53You're a girl.

00:18:55And you're selling flowers, too.

00:18:58I'm not selling flowers.

00:19:02And you're selling flowers, too.

00:19:05There are no flowers here. These are diaspora.

00:19:08Even with a name like that, they're flowers.

00:19:11They serve the purpose of changing hydrogen into breathable oxygen.

00:19:15And they're as necessary here as the air is on Earth.

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

00:19:23If you like.

00:19:26Do you sell them?

00:19:28I'm afraid not.

00:19:30I can make a deal.

00:19:32What do you mean?

00:19:34Oh, you see, you won't have to send them anywhere.

00:19:37I'll pay for them.

00:19:39But then I'll leave them here for you.

00:19:44Do you work in this section?

00:19:47Sometimes.

00:19:50But I'm really a navigator.

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

00:19:59But tell me, why do you want to offer them to me?

00:20:02Oh, no particular reason.

00:20:04Just to celebrate the second smiling face I've run into.

00:20:07Al's was the first.

00:20:09Now I find you.

00:20:11Speaking of you, what's your name?

00:20:13I don't mean your numbers, serials, codes.

00:20:16But just your name.

00:20:18Lucy.

00:20:20Lucy.

00:20:21Do you like it?

00:20:22It's not bad.

00:20:24My uncle had a mascot with that name.

00:20:26It was quite cute.

00:20:28I liked it very much.

00:20:29It was a monkey.

00:20:32Oh, really.

00:20:33She was very cute.

00:20:34I meant it as a compliment.

00:20:36Very flattering, Mr. Peterson.

00:20:40Do you know my name, too?

00:20:43Of course.

00:20:45I've already heard about you from George.

00:20:48You know, the commander.

00:20:50My old friend.

00:20:51But doesn't the commander have a number, like everybody else?

00:20:57Not for me.

00:20:59And now, if you'll forgive me, I've got work to do.

00:21:04Yankee 1-3.

00:21:09I forgot.

00:21:10Thank you, Ray.

00:21:14I really mean it.

00:21:15Thanks.

00:21:22Following the order from the commander,

00:21:25I went over to our ship to pilot a space taxi

00:21:28from which I could photograph a passage of asteroids.

00:21:31India Zulu 4-1, we just made it.

00:21:34I bet you this was the most interesting action shot of your career.

00:21:38Yeah, shooting these rocks is sure something.

00:21:41They're not rocks, my son.

00:21:43They're asteroids.

00:21:45Each of them 1,700 feet in diameter.

00:21:49The commander bawled me out for the loss of 500 gallons of hydrazine

00:21:53when I saved a life, and a girl's, too.

00:21:56So you have a weakness for the weakest eggs.

00:21:59And she doesn't even call him sir, just George.

00:22:01By all our writs around Saturn,

00:22:03they were right when they called you a middler.

00:22:05Well, he's ashamed of that.

00:22:08Hold tight now, I'm going to make a sharp turn.

00:22:15Who is ashamed?

00:22:16George.

00:22:17You understand him.

00:22:20Is it true that George is leaving?

00:22:22Yes.

00:22:23And Lucy, will she go with him?

00:22:25I'm sorry for you, but that's exactly what she'll do.

00:22:27Something very serious is going on.

00:22:29And all you can talk about is this nonsense.

00:22:31We're leaving for Mars.

00:22:33We? You too, Al?

00:22:34Yes.

00:22:35Can't you tell me more about it?

00:22:37Top secret.

00:22:38Zulu Extra 3-4 to space taxi Bravo 9-1.

00:22:41Hurry back to base. Over.

00:22:43Roger for Bravo 9-1.

00:22:46Al, can I radio my Earth base?

00:22:48Sure.

00:22:49You think you're still living back in the 21st century?

00:22:51Thanks.

00:22:52You'd better lower your head now.

00:22:54We're moving back into the satellite.

00:22:56I wanted to join this Mars expedition.

00:22:59Only an order from the high command on Earth

00:23:01could persuade the commander to take me with him.

00:23:04I don't understand.

00:23:06What's making the pilot so late?

00:23:08He promised to join us immediately, sir.

00:23:10Al's really a stud.

00:23:12He promised to join us immediately, sir.

00:23:14Al's really a strange type.

00:23:16He's the best there is.

00:23:24I'm sorry to be late, sir.

00:23:26We've been waiting for you.

00:23:28The situation has become worse.

00:23:30We've got to leave immediately.

00:23:32And you haven't been able to contact Alpha 2?

00:23:34No.

00:23:35Alpha 2 does not answer.

00:23:38We think the pilot may be dead.

00:23:42This could mean the end.

00:23:45That's what I'm afraid of.

00:23:47India Zulu 4-1 wishes to speak with you, sir.

00:23:51Let him talk to the second in command.

00:23:53You take care of him, Sullivan.

00:23:55He refuses to do so.

00:23:57He says he has a very urgent communication for you.

00:23:59Send him in.

00:24:07That's all we needed.

00:24:10That's all we needed.

00:24:12This inquisitive, interfering meddler.

00:24:16He's a pretty nice guy.

00:24:19Do you think so?

00:24:40This is absurd.

00:24:42Commander, you are insulting the high command.

00:24:45Absolutely against all regulations.

00:24:47Any more criticisms?

00:24:49Yes.

00:24:50So have I, but I keep them to myself.

00:24:58Gentlemen, prepare to leave.

00:25:10Jackie, 1-3.

00:25:12One moment, please.

00:25:13Yes.

00:25:17What is it, George?

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

00:25:26It's an order.

00:25:27Aren't you exaggerating?

00:25:30I can't increase the crew.

00:25:34Can't you do without the radio operator?

00:25:36We'll get along just as well.

00:25:38No.

00:25:41I prefer to do without you.

00:25:44Me?

00:25:47I would not want my choice influenced by opinions that are not objective.

00:25:53Anyway, I think I could get along better without a navigator than without a radio operator.

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

00:26:07Perhaps not.

00:26:09You see, you're not being objective.

00:26:12Besides, I don't want to be left behind, George.

00:26:16It's not that I pretend to be of more value than the high command is.

00:26:20But I'm not of less value either.

00:26:22You aren't giving me an order, are you?

00:26:24No, I'm just begging you.

00:26:28I understand you, George.

00:26:31I know that you always try to be worthy of your position.

00:26:35But you'd be better off if for once you tried...

00:26:38What?

00:26:39To be worthy of yourself.

00:26:52I'm sorry, George.

00:27:05Lucy's plea to the commander was effective.

00:27:08When we left the artificial satellite and returned to our spaceship, Bravo Zulu 8-8,

00:27:14Lucy was aboard and set our course for Mars.

00:27:17Is the nose still turned up?

00:27:19Don't be silly.

00:27:20The nose of the spaceship is always up, even when landing.

00:27:23He's not referring to the spaceship, Al.

00:27:25He's talking about me.

00:27:26My congratulations, Commander.

00:27:29Listen, Peterson.

00:27:32I don't even have a chair to sit on.

00:27:34Look, there are two cots in there that you can use when we haven't a chance to rest.

00:27:38Oh, while the rest of you are working, I'm supposed to sleep.

00:27:41There are times when all children should go to bed.

00:27:44Yeah.

00:27:50Listen, ever since we came on this planet,

00:27:53we've had a lot of trouble.

00:27:55We've had a lot of trouble.

00:27:57We've had a lot of trouble.

00:27:59We've had a lot of trouble.

00:28:01Since we came on this trip, you've all done your very best to make me feel like an outsider.

00:28:07My congratulations, Peterson.

00:28:27What the devil is going on?

00:28:29I don't know, sir.

00:28:30It looks like it might be a magnetic storm.

00:28:32Impossible.

00:28:33Listen to the wave forms, sir.

00:28:35Look, Captain.

00:28:47Give me its position.

00:28:49Coordinate 113.

00:28:51Inertial position of object 512.

00:28:55Try to establish contact. It looks like a moon ship.

00:29:01Bravo Zulu 8-8. Bravo Zulu 8-8 to unidentified object, over.

00:29:09They're asking for help, sir.

00:29:11Switch to voice circuit.

00:29:22Metro Sierra 1-3. Metro Sierra 1-3 to Bravo Zulu 8-8, over.

00:29:28Bravo Zulu 8-8 to Metro Sierra 1-3, go ahead, over.

00:29:31Tanks are exploded. Engines have failed.

00:29:33We're out of control and being attracted to Mars, over.

00:29:37Try to get back into the orbit around Mars.

00:29:39We'll attempt rescue.

00:29:41What caused the explosion? Over.

00:29:43Impossible to say.

00:29:45A sudden rush of hot air overpowered us.

00:29:47The instruments have gone crazy.

00:29:49The tanks have exploded.

00:29:50The structures melted in several places.

00:29:52What about the crew?

00:29:53Three of us left, sir.

00:29:58One dead.

00:30:00The engineer.

00:30:01Put on your spacesuits and stand by for immediate bailout as soon as you enter orbit.

00:30:05Radio out.

00:30:07Disconnect the voice circuit.

00:30:10Do you think they'll make it?

00:30:12That's what I'm checking now.

00:30:15Are you thinking the same thing I am, Al?

00:30:18They can't make it.

00:30:19Why not?

00:30:24No. We won't be able to make it.

00:30:27One of Mars' satellites is crossing our path.

00:30:29Try the engines again.

00:30:37David. David.

00:30:43David. Don't.

00:30:46Don't, David. It's suicide. Don't jump.

00:30:49I don't feel like ending my days in a trap.

00:30:57David, don't.

00:31:04What are you doing?

00:31:06Can you make it?

00:31:11I'm climbing.

00:31:13One of my engines has started.

00:31:15I'm climbing.

00:31:19I can make it.

00:31:21I'm getting lighter.

00:31:23I can make it.

00:31:25No!

00:31:27No!

00:31:30Start the engines and get ready for a vertical landing.

00:31:35We will fly above Bobos.

00:31:45Now.

00:31:48Engines at seven gammas.

00:31:55Now.

00:31:59Engines at eight gammas.

00:32:03Look there to the right.

00:32:06Perhaps.

00:32:25Engines at 11 gammas.

00:32:27Gyros are locked.

00:32:29Moving to vertical position.

00:32:44Engines at 12 gammas.

00:32:47What's going on?

00:32:49We're going down.

00:32:51But it's insane.

00:32:54With all stages full of fuel.

00:32:56We're like a bomb.

00:32:59Landing area at two degrees off our coordinates.

00:33:02Just below us.

00:33:04Engines at 14 gammas.

00:33:10Engines at 16 gammas.

00:33:21Engines at four RPM.

00:33:24Now.

00:33:30We're going to go.

00:33:49Put on your spacesuit, Bleach.

00:33:51You're coming to help rescue that poor guy.

00:33:54The captain sits.

00:34:15Nine degrees to starboard.

00:34:18One more and we would have remained here forever.

00:34:24He's still alive.

00:34:26Let's hurry up.

00:34:28Captain, we're coming in.

00:34:31Lucy.

00:34:33Keep the gyros working.

00:34:35As soon as they're inside, we'll get out of here.

00:34:43You stay here and look after him.

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

00:34:47Gyros, unlock.

00:34:49Roger.

00:35:17The end

00:35:37How is it?

00:35:39Bad.

00:35:41I think it'll hold out until we get to Mars.

00:35:43We're almost there anyway, aren't we?

00:35:45What do you mean, now?

00:35:47We've changed course. We're now heading for Venus.

00:35:49You're what?

00:35:52A direct order from the High Command.

00:35:54And you accepted it?

00:36:09Do you realize, Commander, there's a dying man in there?

00:36:12I don't have to account to you for my actions.

00:36:14Look, Captain. I'm picking up an area of intense heat.

00:36:18It's almost as hot as the photonic field of the sun itself.

00:36:23Turn on the safety system.

00:36:25I think you should tell him, sir.

00:36:27It's no longer top secret.

00:36:31Alpha 2, propelled by photonic energy, is now without a pilot.

00:36:36She is floating in space and is only controlled by the electronic brain.

00:36:41The photonic heat which our radar has picked up

00:36:44has the power of destruction and death.

00:36:49Alpha 2 has re-entered the solar system.

00:36:52During the sun's next revolution, she will start to orbit around the Earth

00:36:56and will destroy it completely,

00:36:58burning everything and eliminating all forms of life.

00:37:01Have we any hope of stopping her?

00:37:05That's why we're going to Venus.

00:37:08It's the nearest point to the elliptical path of Alpha 2.

00:37:12We have but one chance in a million.

00:37:20Our world was in danger, about to be destroyed.

00:37:24Perhaps in a few days, maybe in a few hours.

00:37:27It was up to us, a handful of cosmonauts from Earth,

00:37:31millions of miles away, to try and save humanity.

00:37:36Lucy.

00:37:38You're crying.

00:37:45This is Dark Spot.

00:37:48The continents.

00:37:50And there are the oceans and the trees.

00:37:53You can't see them.

00:37:55In my mind, I can.

00:37:57I'd like to run down a road that's laden with pine trees.

00:38:01Would you?

00:38:03Yes, and feel just once again the excitement of speed.

00:38:07But we're already running at 90,000 miles an hour.

00:38:11And we're standing still.

00:38:14That's nothing but an illusion.

00:38:18Do you know what day it is?

00:38:21Don't you know that in space we don't count the days?

00:38:24No, but do you know what date it is?

00:38:27It's the 359th of rotation around the sun.

00:38:31That's just part of it.

00:38:34It's Christmas, Lucy.

00:38:54We started to land at the interplanetary base on Venus,

00:38:58which is the best-equipped base closest to Alpha 2.

00:39:02From there, Alpha 2 could be intercepted,

00:39:05and we hoped, destroyed by the remote-controlled atomic missiles.

00:39:23Hey, Archie, is that the base?

00:39:25Yes, right under the protective dome.

00:39:27There's too much hydrogen in Venus' atmosphere.

00:39:32From here, it looks like the glass dome of a temple.

00:39:35You don't need a respirator inside.

00:39:37What about those plugs? Are they purifying filters?

00:39:39Hey, that'll really cause assuring results, isn't it?

00:39:42Tell me, why is it that when one wants to protect himself,

00:39:45he hides himself under a dome?

00:39:47Put on your helmet, kid.

00:39:50I'm going to take you on a quick tour of Venus,

00:39:52only this time it won't be for sightseeing.

00:39:58Emergency action was taken immediately

00:40:00by firing an atomic missile at Alpha 2

00:40:03in an attempt to destroy this deadly mechanical monster.

00:40:078,500.

00:40:098,000 miles.

00:40:117,500.

00:40:147,000 miles.

00:40:166,500.

00:40:186,000 miles.

00:40:205,800.

00:40:225,500.

00:40:245,200.

00:40:265,000 miles.

00:40:29Hold on. Disintegrated.

00:40:32Exactly at 5,000 miles.

00:40:38We'll have a chance to hit her

00:40:40only if the electronic brain which propels her

00:40:43has gone out of control.

00:40:46You see, the two photonic generators

00:40:49which are moving gyroscopically at each end of the spaceship

00:40:52are creating around Alpha 2

00:40:55an invisible sphere of heat

00:40:58which radiates up to 5,000 miles.

00:41:02We've just had the proof of it.

00:41:05It's indestructible.

00:41:07The one of man's dreams has finally come true.

00:41:10An indestructible destroyer.

00:41:14Unless we have a sudden change

00:41:16in the next solar system revolution,

00:41:18Alpha 2 will start orbiting around the Earth

00:41:22at only 3,500 miles from it.

00:41:25That means 1,500 miles within the safety limit.

00:41:31In a few days, maybe a few hours,

00:41:34our planet will become a mass of boiling mud

00:41:38as it was soon after its formation.

00:41:41We mustn't give up hope. Something might stop it in time.

00:41:44Maybe a miracle.

00:41:48And while we're waiting here for your miracle,

00:41:51I would suggest that we immediately put into operation

00:41:54all the means at our disposal.

00:41:56They've already prepared to fire missiles

00:41:58from the other hemisphere.

00:42:00Meanwhile, why don't you order your men

00:42:02to reach the audio stations on the beach?

00:42:07You stand by electronic telescope number 7.

00:42:126,800.

00:42:185,700.

00:42:205,200.

00:42:225,000.

00:42:244,500.

00:42:254,000.

00:42:263,700.

00:42:272,900.

00:42:282,400.

00:42:302,200.

00:42:36I don't understand.

00:42:38With your permission, sir, I have an explanation.

00:42:41What is it?

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

00:42:44Tell it to us.

00:42:45I'm sure that due to some technical error,

00:42:48that spaceship is vulnerable.

00:42:50The two photonic deflectors at both...

00:42:52Mobility?

00:42:53Two hemispheres separated in their fields by a channel.

00:42:57You mean like a halved orange?

00:43:00A perfect example, my son.

00:43:02That's why a missile has gone through.

00:43:04According to you, it was the only one

00:43:06fired exactly into the center of the channel.

00:43:08But why did the last one disintegrate at 2,200 miles?

00:43:11Because of some imperceptible deviation.

00:43:13Perhaps it was attracted by one of the photonic fields.

00:43:16Hunch is right, Al.

00:43:18There's still a chance.

00:43:20What chance?

00:43:22We'd have to fire on a straight line

00:43:25from another spaceship

00:43:26traveling alongside Alpha 2 at the same rate of speed.

00:43:29I think I've earned the right to try, sir.

00:43:31By the right.

00:43:32Because if my hunch turns out to be correct,

00:43:35I'd like to be the one to receive the credit.

00:43:38And if it's wrong,

00:43:40you want to be the one to risk it.

00:43:42There's an old atomic spaceship here, sir.

00:43:45I'll use its remote-controlled missiles.

00:43:49May I go ahead, sir?

00:43:53Yes.

00:43:56And I hope you'll manage to save humanity.

00:44:03We'll take off and follow you as close as possible, Al.

00:44:07All of us.

00:44:10As if we were right there with you.

00:44:13All of us.

00:44:19Hey, Ray.

00:44:20Now you have a chance to do a real exclusive.

00:44:23It'll be a universal scoop.

00:44:27Let's just make it a world scoop.

00:44:39Let's go!

00:45:10We're out of it now.

00:45:15You did very well, Peterson.

00:45:17It's not everybody that can stand 16 gammas.

00:45:20Considering the fact that I'm a parasite.

00:45:23Tango Sierra 1-3.

00:45:25Tango Sierra 1-3 to Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:45:28Over.

00:45:40Now, piloting the old atomic spaceship Tango Sierra 1-3,

00:45:44flew alongside us.

00:45:46Both spaceships shut off their engines

00:45:49and the inertial thrust allowed them to fly at fantastic speeds.

00:45:53His mission?

00:45:55To find the channel between the two hemispheres of Alpha 2.

00:46:10Tango Sierra 1-3, go ahead.

00:46:13Everything okay, Captain?

00:46:15Perfect.

00:46:17How's the reporter?

00:46:21Doing fine.

00:46:24Requesting route check.

00:46:26Present inertial speed 30,000 miles.

00:46:29Coordinate 1-3 in respect to Vega.

00:46:32Estimated intersection point with Alpha 2

00:46:35on coordinate 1-3.

00:46:37Intersection point with Alpha 2 on coordinate 4-1

00:46:41in respect to Earth at 18 degrees.

00:46:44Over.

00:46:45Correct, but change approximately 3 degrees

00:46:48at intersection point with Alpha 2.

00:46:51We'll go.

00:46:53I'll request another route check on approach

00:46:55and let's hope for the best.

00:46:57Radio out.

00:47:00Satellite Zulu Extra 3-4.

00:47:03Satellite Zulu Extra 3-4 calling Bravo Zulu 8-8.

00:47:07Over.

00:47:08Bravo Zulu 8-8 to satellite.

00:47:11Zulu Extra 3-4, go ahead.

00:47:13Captain, this is Sullivan.

00:47:15What's the trouble, Sullivan?

00:47:16About 45 seconds ago,

00:47:18the photonic field around spaceship Alpha 2

00:47:21came into collision with the asteroids.

00:47:23Well, then?

00:47:24Alpha 2 has changed course

00:47:26by 6 degrees in respect to Vega.

00:47:29I'm afraid she'll enter orbit around the Earth

00:47:32before the estimated time.

00:47:36Can you ascertain her present position?

00:47:39Yes, I can.

00:47:40High coordinate 27 degrees.

00:47:43Movement of ellipses gradually advancing.

00:47:46Look out.

00:47:47It's coming towards you.

00:47:50Yes, sir.

00:47:52It will be on top of us any minute.

00:47:55What about the men, Sullivan?

00:47:57They are all on standby, sir.

00:48:01Two mechanics went out of the space taxi

00:48:03to solar mirror Foxtrot 1-2.

00:48:06I ordered them not to come back.

00:48:08Commander, see if you can save them.

00:48:12I can't, sir.

00:48:15Commander, see if you can save them.

00:48:20Sullivan, save yourself.

00:48:23It's too late, sir.

00:48:26Sullivan.

00:48:27Sullivan.

00:48:29Can you hear me?

00:48:32Sullivan.

00:48:34Sullivan.

00:48:45Sullivan.

00:48:54Ray.

00:48:56Al.

00:48:57Don't forget Sullivan in your scoop.

00:49:00Write this.

00:49:02He was never afraid.

00:49:04Since man, even in space,

00:49:06changes his position but not his character.

00:49:09He is what he is, wherever he lives.

00:49:14What do you mean?

00:49:19What you always say.

00:49:21To himself, every man is a whole world.

00:49:33Commander.

00:49:35I've been able to locate the position of the space taxi.

00:49:38Tell it to me.

00:49:40Coordinate Pi-28, 8 degrees.

00:49:43We're changing course.

00:49:45We'll try to rescue the survivors.

00:49:53Bravo Zulu 8-8 to space taxi Bravo 9-1.

00:49:57We're coming in to rescue you.

00:49:59Be ready to bail out.

00:50:04Bravo Zulu 8-8 to space taxi Bravo 9-1.

00:50:08We're coming in to rescue you.

00:50:10Be ready to bail out.

00:50:12Out.

00:50:28The commander says you boys should rest.

00:50:30No, Ray. Show them in here.

00:50:43I just wanted to see you boys.

00:50:48Mary.

00:50:50Jackson.

00:50:52I'm glad to see you.

00:50:55Go and get some rest now.

00:51:12How do you like that, Jackson?

00:51:38They called us boys.

00:51:40And he even remembered our names.

00:51:43I didn't think he'd even do it.

00:51:47Sir, I'm now 7,000 miles from Alpha 2.

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

00:52:145,000 miles.

00:52:164,500.

00:52:214,000.

00:52:233,500.

00:52:273,000.

00:52:32It's disintegrated.

00:52:35I'll try again.

00:52:435,000.

00:52:444,500.

00:52:464,000.

00:52:473,500.

00:52:483,000.

00:52:492,500.

00:52:502,000.

00:52:511,500.

00:52:531,000.

00:52:54900.

00:52:55800.

00:52:56Going to make it?

00:52:57700.

00:52:58600.

00:52:59500.

00:53:00400.

00:53:01300.

00:53:02200.

00:53:07Fire another rocket.

00:53:10I'm getting near it, sir.

00:53:21It's too dangerous, Al.

00:53:22Stop.

00:53:23You'll be attracted by the photonic field.

00:53:25I've located the channel.

00:53:26I'll try to break through it, Commander.

00:53:28I'm sure that I can get at least 1,500 miles away from the spaceship.

00:53:33Come back, Al.

00:53:34It's murder.

00:53:35I'm 2,000 miles away from Alpha 2 now, sir.

00:53:38Let me try.

00:53:40Al, that's an order.

00:53:41I'm sorry, sir.

00:53:42But I'm not taking orders anymore.

00:53:45It's a useless sacrifice.

00:53:48Son, I'm 1,200 miles away from you.

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

00:53:55But what would be the use of living if the Earth were destroyed?

00:54:00We'd all be prisoners of space with no hope of return.

00:54:07800 miles.

00:54:08Al, please.

00:54:09After 200 miles, you'll have only a very slight chance to keep on a steady course.

00:54:14A slight chance challenges me to try.

00:54:45Al, you don't know what you're doing.

00:54:47Maybe not, Commander.

00:54:48Al!

00:54:49But in a few seconds, I'll know for sure.

00:54:52Al, I succeeded in proving the existence of a channel by the sacrifice of his own life.

00:55:16But we still haven't got a chance.

00:55:19There's nothing for us to do but follow his lead.

00:55:22But how, Lucy?

00:55:24Commander, why don't you request more spaceships equipped with missiles?

00:55:28It's too late now.

00:55:29They'd never get here in time.

00:55:32Well, then.

00:55:35I don't know.

00:55:39What's that object that keeps appearing on the screen?

00:55:48It's the space taxi from the disintegrated satellite.

00:55:53It is now circling in orbit around us.

00:56:05The space taxi.

00:56:14I rode on it once with Al.

00:56:31Are you afraid, Lucy?

00:56:32Yes, for him.

00:56:36I understand.

00:56:39I love him, George.

00:56:41I know.

00:56:44But love has no meaning anymore, George.

00:56:47Does it?

00:56:52Perhaps it's the only thing that does matter.

00:57:00The world of human feelings has been much less explored than the whole of the universe put together.

00:57:12But now it's late.

00:57:15What have we been doing all these thousands of years?

00:57:20We've been congratulating ourselves on our progress and going faster and faster and faster.

00:57:27When in reality, we've only been getting further away from ourselves.

00:57:44Lucy.

00:57:48Take my place, will you?

00:58:15Where do you think you're going?

00:58:17Out in the space taxi.

00:58:19That's madness.

00:58:21Maybe so, but it's not half as mad as the idea that brought us to this point.

00:58:24You are staying here.

00:58:26Listen.

00:58:27Lucy loves you.

00:58:29And Lucy has been and is everything in the world that matters to me.

00:58:34You may not understand it, but for that very reason, I will stop you from going to certain death.

00:58:40Why stop me?

00:58:41We are all going to get killed anyway.

00:58:43I'm going to stop you even if I have to use force.

00:59:13Commander.

00:59:27He's going to make it.

00:59:35He's picked up the platonic field alongside the channel.

00:59:53To find my way through the channel, I had to throw to the right and the left any loose objects in the space taxi

01:00:00in order to judge the distance between the two curtains of disintegration.

01:00:04Look, it's insane.

01:00:13The channel is getting narrow.

01:00:16Every second.

01:00:18What's he throwing out?

01:00:19Plugs, transistors, spare parts from the mechanics tool kit.

01:00:27George, I'm going to make it.

01:00:28I'll get through.

01:00:30Go on, Ray.

01:00:32Go on.

01:00:34You're nearly there.

01:00:48I don't have anything else to throw out.

01:00:50Get rid of everything which isn't essential.

01:00:52Quick.

01:01:06The path is clear.

01:01:07George, I'm going through.

01:01:30Ray, hurry.

01:01:32Don't lose time.

01:01:34The hatch is above you.

01:01:36Right in the middle of the sphere.

01:02:05Ray, can you hear me?

01:02:09Ray, answer me.

01:02:12Go ahead, George.

01:02:13I'm listening.

01:02:15Get into the pilot seat and disconnect the electronic brain.

01:02:20It should be on the left-hand panel.

01:02:23Remove everything else.

01:02:34The pilot is still inside the hibernation cell.

01:02:37Dead.

01:02:38Disconnect all contacts on the left-hand panel.

01:02:51They're already disconnected.

01:02:53The electronic brain.

01:02:55Ray, you must disconnect the electronic brain.

01:03:07I'm standing in front of it.

01:03:08What should I do?

01:03:11Destroy it.

01:03:13Disconnect the cables.

01:03:29I can't.

01:03:30They won't come loose.

01:03:35He can cut them.

01:03:36There are emergency tools right under the footrest of the pilot seat.

01:03:39Did you hear, Ray?

01:03:40Under the footrest.

01:03:41All right.

01:03:43Quick.

01:03:45You'd better hurry, sir.

01:03:46We're entering the Earth's gravity cell.

01:03:49Our speed is increasing.

01:03:52Use a pair of wire cutters.

01:03:55Come, George.

01:03:56Now cut the wires.

01:04:08I'm cutting through the last wire.

01:04:19Ray's deflector has stopped.

01:04:23Maybe we've made it.

01:04:27How can you prove that the photonic field has been disintegrated?

01:04:31There's only one way of telling for certain.

01:04:36We're coming in.

01:04:497,000.

01:04:516,500.

01:04:546,000.

01:04:565,500.

01:04:585,000.

01:05:00We're getting through it.

01:05:02Ray, we're coming.

01:05:04The nightmare is over.

01:05:10Hurry up, Ray.

01:05:11We're coming.

01:05:12Get ready to be rescued.

01:05:24We're alongside you, Ray.

01:05:26Bail out.

01:05:34George.

01:05:35Lucy.

01:05:36The external hatch is jammed.

01:05:38It won't open.

01:05:40It will never open again.

01:05:42Never.

01:05:43Try again, Ray.

01:05:44Try.

01:05:45Quick.

01:05:48He can't open it.

01:05:50He cut the cables.

01:05:52There's no more power inside the ship.

01:05:59Earth Base 9.

01:06:00Earth Base 9.

01:06:01Earth Base 9 to Bravo Zulu 8-8.

01:06:04Can you hear us?

01:06:05Over.

01:06:07Bravo Zulu 8-8 to Earth Base 9.

01:06:10Go ahead.

01:06:11Are you all going insane up there?

01:06:13If you keep racing that fast, you'll disintegrate when you reach the Earth's atmosphere.

01:06:18Separate and change your course immediately.

01:06:21Alpha 2 is out of control.

01:06:23There's a man inside.

01:06:28We're going down to try to rescue him.

01:06:32Space suits on.

01:06:39Lucy.

01:06:41Take my place.

01:06:50We'll manage.

01:07:02Ray?

01:07:03Ray?

01:07:04Lucy.

01:07:05George and the others are coming to get you out.

01:07:08I can't hold out any longer.

01:07:11I can't control the oxygen flow.

01:07:13Use the regulator, Ray.

01:07:16I don't have it anymore.

01:07:18That was the last thing I threw out into space.

01:07:21Ray, you must hold out.

01:07:25Bravo Zulu 8-8.

01:07:27Bravo Zulu 8-8.

01:07:29Are you listening?

01:07:31Roger.

01:07:32Go ahead.

01:07:33This is an order from the high command.

01:07:35Stop rescue of Alpha 2 pilot.

01:07:38Change your course immediately or you'll soon enter the atmosphere.

01:07:42Repeat.

01:07:43This is an order from the high command.

01:07:46They don't know what they're talking about.

01:07:49They don't know what would have happened if Ray established contact again.

01:07:54And we'll stay as close as possible.

01:07:58Ray, we're very close now.

01:08:02The man's now going out.

01:08:04Too much air.

01:08:06An orgy of air.

01:08:08My thoughts are running wild.

01:08:10Talk to me, Lucy.

01:08:27Everything is spinning.

01:08:31Where are you, Lucy?

01:08:37Here.

01:08:38Beside you.

01:08:41Quick, the cold may port here.

01:08:49What's the use of trying to save the world, Lucy?

01:08:53If I'm going to be lost myself?

01:08:56No.

01:08:58You can't say this, Ray.

01:09:00You believed more than any of us.

01:09:04I believe you, Ray.

01:09:11Ray, Ray, answer me.

01:09:14I believed.

01:09:16But there's no faith that can destroy the fear of death.

01:09:24Wait, wait, hang on.

01:09:32Goodbye, Lucy.

01:09:44Lucy, we're inside.

01:09:49Be ready to turn the ship.

01:10:09We're in, Lucy.

01:10:10Be ready.

01:10:14Contact.

01:10:39We've made it, Lucy.

01:10:41Engines at maximum speed.

01:11:10Now, you're really worthy, Lucy, George.

01:11:19That's the Earth.
