Speaker 1: In just a moment X minus one. But first, after

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:05,360
a hard day's work, there's nothing more welcome than an

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,640
evening of variety entertainment, and that's just the tonic provided

4
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:12,199
tomorrow night by NBC Radio. You'll laugh your cares away

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000
when good natured contestants carry out the rib tickling stunts

00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:18,679
dreamed up by mc Jack Bailey on NBC's Truth or Consequences,

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,920
and later on Groucho Marx PEPs things up with lots

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,800
of spontaneous good fun and more of the friendly insults

this station. Now, stay tuned for X minus one on NBC.

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,439
Speaker 2: Have a nice trip. The seat numbers fifteen.

13
00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: Next, please.

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,399
Speaker 4: Come down for Blast Off X minus five four three

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:01:20,680
two X minus one. Fire from the far horizons of

16
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,400
the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time

17
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:25,280
and space.

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 5: These are stories of the future adventures in which you'll

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,079
live in a million, could be years, on a thousand,

20
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:37,000
maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company, in cooperation with Galaxy

21
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:39,799
Science Fiction Magazine, presents.

22
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 6: HE minus one.

Speaker 7: In the Galactic flight number fourteen, now loading at ramp ten.

25
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,439
In a Galactic flight number fourteen, now loading at ramp ten,

26
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,039
Please have your flight validation.

27
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:22,879
Speaker 3: You walk from the waiting room down the long ramp

28
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,960
number ten. The flight pack is in one hand, the

29
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,680
validation papers in the other. Other passengers chatter behind you.

30
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,319
You turn a corner and there's the ship, a cylinder

31
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,919
of glistening silver aimed at the moon. You feel yourself

32
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,439
carried up the moving stair to the gaping entrance lock.

33
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,240
A pretty stewardess in a blue uniform smiles at you.

34
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: Validation papers, Please your papers.

35
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,039
Speaker 3: Madam, oh papers?

36
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 6: Oh?

37
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,719
Speaker 3: Yes, here there, this is Marsha Foster.

38
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:54,759
Speaker 2: You feeling well, Miss Foster?

39
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,159
Speaker 3: Yes quite well, Thank you.

40
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,039
Speaker 2: We have to make sure. Once in a while somebody

41
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:01,879
slips aboard with an other person's validation papers.

42
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,159
Speaker 3: What difference would it make if I felt well or not?

43
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: A great deal, I'm afraid you see the effect of

44
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800
a free fall in space without gravity. It can do

45
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,039
quite a bit of damage in certain glandular conditions. I

46
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:16,479
see you've passed your physical Yes, I'm quite all right,

47
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:21,560
It's fine. Have a nice trip. Your seat number is fifteen. Next, please.

48
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,439
Speaker 3: You walk down the carpeted aisle to the plastic on seat.

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,520
Her words make a ringing pattern in your brain. Are

50
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,479
you feeling well, Missus Foster. Missus Foster's feeling quite well.

51
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Thank you. Missus Foster has past her physical examination. There's

52
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,479
only one thing wrong with the picture. You are not,

53
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:42,360
Missus Foster.

54
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Attention, please attention. In one minute, the flash walls will

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,000
be raised around the ship. If for any reason, the

56
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
passenger is not feeling well or does not wish to

57
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,199
make the trip, please speak up.

58
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: One minute. You begin to wonder if you ought to

59
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,800
go after all. You begin to think of how it happened.

60
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,039
Why you're here sitting in the silver vessel waiting to

61
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:10,199
blast off for the moon. What happened between you and Jack?

62
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,080
What happened?

63
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,319
Speaker 8: Honey, Honey, I'm back Jack. Oh, darling, you miss me?

64
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Did I miss you?

65
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 8: I brought you a little present from the moon. Try

66
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:35,319
it on.

67
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,439
Speaker 3: Oh it's beautiful.

68
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,519
Speaker 9: It took us two hours to pick it out. U oh,

69
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,639
me and Sue Sueigan? Who's she the stewards on the ship?

70
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 3: Oh? How long has she been on the earth? Moon run.

71
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 8: I guess about a year now.

72
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: It's funny you never mentioned her, Oh haven't I?

73
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 8: Well, what's the difference?

74
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,519
Speaker 3: Odd?

75
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:01,519
Speaker 8: Hey?

76
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: What?

77
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 8: Well? You're not jealous, are you? Is she pretty monstrous?

78
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 9: Four feet high and three feet around and she has

79
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:11,759
a big blue eye right in the middle of her feet.

80
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: Oh, you're insane?

81
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 8: Come on, how about a kiss? No, old lady, I've

82
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,279
been away for four months.

83
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: Sorry.

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 8: I guess I'll just have to go back to Suwegan

85
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:21,600
and her three blue eyes.

86
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:30,519
Speaker 3: In that case, here, Oh, I have been away a

87
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,000
long time. Jack, I want to talk to you about.

88
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 9: That, okay, but could it wait till tonight? I am

89
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,040
taking you to dinner, missus McLain.

90
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,879
Speaker 3: I'd rather talk about it now. Okay, Jack, we've been

91
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,759
married for six years, now, is it that long? Seven

92
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,879
in July? For the last two you've been skippering that

93
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800
rocket to the moon three weeks at a time, with

94
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,000
only a week in between.

95
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 8: I do get a month vacation.

96
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: Yes, that is no kind of life.

97
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,759
Speaker 8: Oh, Musha, I don't know what I can do about it.

98
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: You haven't tried to do anything about it.

99
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:04,199
Speaker 8: I guess you're right.

100
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:06,439
Speaker 3: Do you intend to try?

101
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 8: Marsh? I need to know Marsha Flying is my whole life,

102
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,560
but it isn't mine.

103
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm not going to spend three weeks out of four

104
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,160
sitting here wondering if you'll come back alive.

105
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 8: Oh no, that's ridiculous, is it.

106
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: What about my father who died on the elsinir when

107
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,000
it missed mars.

108
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,319
Speaker 9: Your father died as the result of a space maneuver

109
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:25,279
that no Pilon in his right mind would try.

110
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: They missed the planet. That could happen to anybody.

111
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,079
Speaker 8: They missed it because they tried to warp the ship around.

112
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: I'm afraid I don't understand. Well, it isn't very hard

113
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:34,920
to understand.

114
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 9: A spaceship takes off with everything calculated to the last

115
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,639
decimal point. It has exactly enough fuel to take it

116
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,360
to a planet if it follows an exact course, an

117
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,240
ironclad mathematical orbit.

118
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 8: Well, well, there was a jaywalker aboard the Elsinar.

119
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: A jwalker.

120
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 9: Well, that's what we call somebody who boards a ship

121
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:56,759
knowing that he has no business doing so. In this

122
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,240
particular case, it was a senator going to a convention

123
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,199
on the Moon. He had been taking endocream treatments and

124
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,279
kept it secret on his validation papers. He felt he

125
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,720
had to attend this convention to muster some votes for

126
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,560
his campaign. He didn't consider that he was jeopardizing his life.

127
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,639
Speaker 3: I still don't see how they missed the planet.

128
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,959
Speaker 9: Six hours out, the senator began to die. The effect

129
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:20,120
of the free fall on his glands was catching up

130
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800
with him. And the only way to reverse that effect

131
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:24,759
is to reverse the spin of the ship. Turn it

132
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:28,680
end over end. That creates artificial gravity, reverses the stress

133
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,879
on the glands.

134
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 8: The pilot took a chance, he did just that.

135
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:34,079
Speaker 3: Is that why they missed the planet.

136
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 8: They lost their trajectory.

137
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 9: By the time they recalculated their cost, they'd passed Mars.

138
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,240
They ran out of fuel and kept going until well

139
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,199
until they fell into the gravity of the Sun.

140
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: And that couldn't happen today.

141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 8: A pilot would have to be out of his mind

142
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,639
to try a maneuver like that.

143
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: You wouldn't try it risk.

144
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,399
Speaker 8: An entire ship to save the life of one fool.

145
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:54,959
Speaker 3: You wouldn't.

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,519
Speaker 8: Marsha, I can't say. I definitely wouldn't it. Right now.

147
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:01,839
It's inconceivable, just.

148
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: As inconceivable for you to give up spaceflight for my sake.

149
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,079
Speaker 9: Isn't it equally inconceivable for you to put up with it?

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 8: For my sake?

151
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,199
Speaker 3: I've put up with it for two years. Jack, this

152
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:13,160
is the end of it.

153
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:15,519
Speaker 8: No, what exactly do you mean?

154
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:17,399
Speaker 3: I mean you have to decide whether you want a

155
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:19,800
marriage in a family or a career as a space jockey.

156
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,639
Speaker 8: Why do I have to decide? Why can't I have both?

157
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,079
Speaker 3: Because I won't live this way? Nobody else does, except

158
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:27,839
a handful of wives whose husbands are crazy. I'd have

159
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:29,079
to have picked a profession like this.

160
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:31,079
Speaker 8: Well, you knew this was my profession when you're married.

161
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,679
I didn't know it was like this, Marsha. What you're

162
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,480
asking me to do I simply can't do. Wouldn't make

163
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:37,879
you happy.

164
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 9: If I did, I'd just be walking around resenting you.

165
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 8: Now, come on, let's have dinner and forget this for

166
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:45,000
a while.

167
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: No, we're not having dinner.

168
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,399
Speaker 8: You'd rather stay home tonight?

169
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm going to Los Angeles to my mother's house.

170
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,960
What I have tickets on the six o'clock flight tonight? Yes, Jack,

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,960
I'm quite determined. It's made up my mind that I'd

172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,720
put it to you squarely, and if you refused, I

173
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:05,720
was leaving just like that. Yes, I've had all I

174
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:06,720
can take, mash.

175
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,759
Speaker 8: For Heaven's sake, can't we talk this over and make

176
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:09,759
some kind of a compromise.

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: Is no compromise, Jack. It's all very exciting for you,

178
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:15,960
tearing back and forth through the moon with glamorous stewardesses

179
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240
and all sorts of celebrities, But sitting here waiting isn't

180
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:18,879
much fun for me.

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 8: Well, you could get a job, you could develop some interesting.

182
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,639
Speaker 3: Reason why I married you. I want a home and

183
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,360
a family and a man who comes home every night

184
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,799
and talks to me about little, unimportant things.

185
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 8: And I'm not that man.

186
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,759
Speaker 3: No, No, you're not Okay, what are you doing?

187
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 8: I don't like people walking out on me, So I'm

188
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,279
leaving first.

189
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: Would you mind telling me where you'll be?

190
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 8: I don't know.

191
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:48,039
Speaker 9: You can reach me through intergalactic If you change your mind, Marsha,

192
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,240
maybe we'll both be better off. We didn't have much

193
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,600
of a home life anyway, just the two of us.

194
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I know how you

195
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,080
feel about not having children. Goodbye, marsh.

196
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,159
Speaker 3: There it was you learned when you came back from

197
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,080
Los Angeles two months later that he'd been seen in

198
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,679
the company of one Susan Egan Steward is for Intergalactic

199
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,000
on numerous occasions. You learned too, that he'd applied for

200
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,320
the Earth Venus Run, the newest and most difficult run

201
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,639
in the galaxy. You learned something else, something that was

202
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,679
going to change the whole course of your life.

203
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:44,279
Speaker 10: Come in, missus McClane, sit down, thank you, doctor. Hi

204
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,519
have some good news for you. Yes, you're going to

205
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,559
have a child. Well, I thought you'd be happy about that.

206
00:10:52,679 --> 00:11:06,879
Speaker 3: Happy. Oh, yes, yes, I am. Naturally. You debated for

207
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:09,360
a long time, and then you called the Intergalactic Office.

208
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,440
Mister mc leanan was out on the Earth Moon Run.

209
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,759
He'd be back on the twelfth, but only for an afternoon.

210
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,799
He was taking off again. Immediately. They were so sorry.

211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,320
You were sorry yourself. It seemed as if life would

212
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,759
not be worth living without Jack, especially now with a

213
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:28,480
child on the way. You had to talk to him

214
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,399
to be with him. That was when you first began

215
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,200
to formulate the idea of going to the Moon with

216
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,480
him on this run.

217
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,279
Speaker 2: Attention, please, attention, we're about to count down for Blastorf.

218
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,279
Fasten your seat belts and reclined back as far as possible.

219
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:45,799
The next sound will be that of the first stage

220
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,960
rockets heating up. Do not be alarmed by the vibration

221
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:49,720
of the ship.

222
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,039
Speaker 3: From the bulkheads. Overhead. Everywhere comes the deep rumbling sound.

223
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,559
Some of the passengers look anxious, some excited. Some leaf

224
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:02,879
casually through magazines as they line their backs in the

225
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:04,120
reclining seats.

226
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,759
Speaker 2: Those of you who've never been in rockets will find

227
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,159
it an experience that will make you proud to belong

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,039
to the human race.

229
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 11: Count down for blast off x minus five minus four

230
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:23,440
minus three minus two minus one zero.

231
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 3: The rumble heightens all emotion, leaves you cold, ravening fear

232
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,320
takes over. To try to close your eyes, your ears

233
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,159
against it, at your mind won't respond. Look out the

234
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,320
port and the scene is suddenly splashed with a rushing

235
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,399
sheet of flame that darkens the sky and is torn

236
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:48,200
from your vision, snatched away. The buildings, the trees, the

237
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,480
roads vanish. A great, soft, uniform weight presses down on you.

238
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,279
You push with all your might, but it smothers you,

239
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,240
presses your back, drives your blood down down inside of you,

240
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,639
and then quiet.

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,759
Speaker 2: We are now one hundred and two miles over New

242
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,279
York City. You may unfasten your safety belt. The pull

243
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,120
of gravity will no longer trouble you.

244
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,399
Speaker 3: You unfasten the safety belt and sit in the seat

245
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,279
wondering what to do next.

246
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to inter Galactic Flight number fourteen

247
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,120
out of New York Rocket Port, destination Moon. I'm your hostess,

248
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,200
Miss Susan Egan. Your pilots for this flight is Captain

249

Jack mc lean. Opposition at the moment is approximately five

250
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600
hundred and fifty miles above Earth, and in less than

251
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,080
one half hour we'll be in free fall completely without gravity.

252
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Our speed is currently twenty nine thousand miles per hour.

253
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,399
We should arrive at Moonport at exactly six p m

254
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,639
tomorrow Earth time. I wish you a pleasant voyage. If

255
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720
there's anything you need into galactic is at your service.

256
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: Well, you think to yourself, everybody's here. Your husband is

257
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,799
loved one, and his wife. You watch her. She walks

258
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:15,519
back along the rows of seats with an armful of

259
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:19,840
the latest magazine recordings. A tall girl about twenty nine

260
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:25,200
or thirty, dark brown hair, dark eyes. I'm not very pretty,

261
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,720
the sort of would be able to talk to him

262
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,840
about steam tubes and beautiful landings and solar storms.

263
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: Missus Fowlster, would you like something to read?

264
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: Oh? Thank you?

265
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,039
Speaker 2: No, first time in the rocket ship?

266
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,919
Speaker 3: Yes? Could you tell look a little green? You're feeling well?

267
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:46,799
I'm I'm quite a right.

268
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: There's just a touch of space sickness. Come along the

269
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,840
ship's hospital and we'll fix you up in the diffy

270
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,159
I'd rather just sit here a minute, of course. Oh

271
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:02,080
come on me help him to the ship's hospital. That's

272
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:18,120
come on, come on now, you just lie down here.

273
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,720
How are you feeling?

274
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm scared.

275
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: There's nothing to be afraid of.

276
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: I think there is.

277
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 12: What is it?

278
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm pregnant? What affect my validation papers?

279
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,519
Speaker 2: Do you know what you've done to you?

280
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 8: So?

281
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: I hoped it wouldn't affect me.

282
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,639
Speaker 2: There's much I can say, Missus Faust. I'll have to

283
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:40,279
tell captain that's what would it be?

284
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,519
Speaker 3: I mean? Could I tell him myself?

285
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,399
Speaker 2: If you'd rather, I'll call him Steward is to Captain McClean.

286
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:49,480
What is it, thal Jack? There's a passenger in the

287
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:52,000
ship's hospital. You'd better come down here.

288
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 11: Look, Susie, I've got my correction.

289
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: I think you'd better come right down.

290
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 8: Okay, Charlie, take it, will you. I'll be right back.

291
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: He'll be here in a minute or two. Yeah, let

292
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,600
me put this pillow into your head.

293
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:04,279
Speaker 3: Thank you?

294
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,279
Speaker 2: Now, what made you do it?

295
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:11,759
Speaker 3: You wouldn't understand you.

296
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,799
Speaker 2: Loved him and he stationed on the moon and you

297
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,399
wanted to be near him. Is that it?

298
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: Could you understand that?

299
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,519
Speaker 2: You mean not being able to have the man you love? Yes,

300
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,840
I think I could understand.

301
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,679
Speaker 3: You wanted to scream at her, to claw her face.

302
00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:40,600
She was going to live and you were going to die.

303
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:43,159
She was going to share a life with Jack when

304
00:16:43,159 --> 00:16:45,240
you were only a dim sort of memory in his mind.

305
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,639
He came in, moving fast, with that kind of schoolboy

306
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,600
gait in his His dark face was frowning, but handsome

307
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:54,000
as ever.

308
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 8: Not just why did you? Whyshia?

309
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:00,399
Speaker 2: What?

310
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 8: Honey?

311
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: Hello?

312
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:01,759
Speaker 12: Jack?

313
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,319
Speaker 8: What are you doing about it? Sue? This is my wife, Marsha.

314
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,519
This is Sue Egan.

315
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: Hello, I'll be getting out.

316
00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:15,519
Speaker 8: Excuse me? What's going on?

317
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 6: Jack?

318
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 3: Sit down? I want to tell you something.

319
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 9: I'd like to say something first much. I've had a

320
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,119
chance to do a lot of thinking lately, and if

321
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,119
you think we could work it.

322
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 8: Out, I'd like to try again. You mean that, yes,

323
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:30,359
I do.

324
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: What about miss Egan Sue?

325
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 8: What about her?

326
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: I thought? I mean I heard I'm.

327
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:42,799
Speaker 8: Very fond of Sue.

328
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,039
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought you were.

329
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 8: But she isn't my wife?

330
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,599
Speaker 6: You are.

331
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:49,319
Speaker 12: Was?

332
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 3: What do you mean I'm going to die? Jack?

333
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 8: What are you talking about? Jack?

334
00:17:57,079 --> 00:18:02,279
Speaker 3: I'm pregnant. We're a little too late.

335
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 8: Did you know this when you came aboard?

336
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:06,519
Speaker 3: Yes?

337
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 8: But weren't you aware that? What about the physical?

338
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: I used another woman's validation papers, I paid her for them.

339
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 8: Why how could you do with it?

340
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,839
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. All I knew was

341
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,319
that I had to see you. I had to be

342
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,680
with you.

343
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:22,599
Speaker 8: If you'd only talked, I couldn't reach you. Didn't you

344
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,359
know what would happen if you took a rocket flight?

345
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: I thought somehow it wouldn't happen to me. I didn't

346
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,559
know that pregnancy was.

347
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 8: Affected, and if you hadn't.

348
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: I would have come along anyway.

349
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 8: I suppose in the way I'm to blame. I'm the

350
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:36,680
one who walk down.

351
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: Don't take the blame on yourself. I'm over twenty one, Monsia.

352
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 8: What did you hope to accomplish by this?

353
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,759
Speaker 9: I'm not sure there's only one possibility. Yes, excuse me,

354
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:51,480
miss Agan, Yes, come into the ship's hospital.

355
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 8: Please bring Petrack Shelley from maintenance. Tell them to come

356
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,119
up here with a crescent wretch.

357
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 3: What are you going to do?

358
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 8: Do nothing much. I'm going to warp the ship around,

359
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:04,759
that's all.

360
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: Petric Kelly was a big, easy going man. Jack left

361
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,880
me alone with him and Miskeen while he went back

362
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,880
to the control room. Petri Kelly started to build a

363
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:24,000
metal bed to the side wall of the cabin. Why

364
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,880
are you putting the bed on the wall.

365
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,079
Speaker 10: Because, lady, when he starts to spend the ship, that

366
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,240
outside bulk is going to be down out sideways centrifugal forcing.

367
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,559
Speaker 3: I'm afraid I don't.

368
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,519
Speaker 1: Well, that's too bad because I got out of things

369
00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:37,720
to do besides explained.

370
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: Okay, sirs, it's all he.

371
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:42,519
Speaker 6: Is.

372
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:43,519
Speaker 3: He always that rude.

373
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: Doesn't it occur to you that maybe he's under a

374
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,039
slight strain?

375
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,279
Speaker 3: Strain?

376
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: Look, missus, McLean, your husband's going to warp the ship around.

377
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:54,160
The chances of his pulling off a maneuver like that

378
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,279
without piling us up in the sun or in deep

379
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:59,839
space or about a thousand to one. I appreciate that

380
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,160
wanted to see him and show him that he ought

381
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,000
to be ashamed of himself for leaving you. But does

382
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:07,119
it occur to you that all of us may lose

383
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,160
our lives because of it, including Petrocelli.

384
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: No, I hadn't thought about it. Let's go.

385
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: I've got to strap you into that there.

386
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 3: No, wait, what will happen to me if the ship

387
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,480
isn't worked?

388
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: Sudden floods of the adrenal glands, convulsions, panics, spastic secretions,

389
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:24,359
and eventually death.

390
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,319
Speaker 3: What causes it?

391
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: Lack of gravity? We are sure just how purpose of

392
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,240
spinning the ship is to press you up against the

393
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,440
outer wall and create the effect of gravity through centrifugal force.

394
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,319
Speaker 3: To you, do you think he can do it?

395
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: I think he's the best skipper in the intergalactic fleet.

396
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,400
That isn't the answer to my question? Can he spin

397
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,720
the ship without killing everyone?

398
00:20:49,000 --> 00:21:01,799
Speaker 12: I have faith in him.

399
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:07,799
Speaker 3: She loved him, She had faith in him. And you, you,

400
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,920
to whom he was married, you who carried his child

401
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:16,079
inside you? Did you have faith in him?

402
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,279
Speaker 8: Everything's set in here? Yes, good Jack?

403
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: Could could we talk alone for a minute.

404
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,759
Speaker 8: We have to get the new data into the computers, Susie.

405
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:25,680
Will you excuse us please?

406
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 12: Yes?

407
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 8: Well, Jack, don't do it, mars.

408
00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: I mean it. You've no right to risk all those lives.

409
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 9: Just for me, Marsha. I'm captain of this ship. I

410
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:37,519
do as I see fit, and I can't do other one.

411
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: But it isn't fair to them. It isn't fair to you.

412
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 9: When we were born into this life, we don't make

413
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,680
any agreement that says everything is going to be fair

414
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,319
and equip I.

415
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:45,319
Speaker 3: Refuse to let you do it.

416
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,079
Speaker 8: You can't stop me.

417
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 3: I'll take my life.

418
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,839
Speaker 8: I'm going to ask Sue to stay with her.

419
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 3: What about her? Don't you love her?

420
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:55,799
Speaker 8: Well, Marsha, Whether I love Sue Egan is not the point.

421
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,279
Speaker 9: Just now, I've decided to spend ship to save you

422
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,400
and my son or daughter.

423
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,279
Speaker 8: If it means risking the lives of others, I have

424
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,160
to take that risk.

425
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:08,519
Speaker 3: Jack. Yes, why are you doing it?

426
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 8: Because I love you?

427
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: It seemed to me during the next hour, through the

428
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,119
haze of the drug they gave me, that I could

429
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,599
see him. There was the curved silver board before it

430
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,160
sat Jack hunched like a harried bookkeeper on the last

431
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,000
day of the month.

432
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 8: Okay, Charley we'll come to the moon obliquely. At zero

433
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,000
point three oh seven, we pass it.

434
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:45,079
Speaker 9: Stop, spin the ship over once to check speed, then

435
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,519
put the tail down when we feel gravity at seven

436
00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:50,079
point oh three five. And if we can do it

437
00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:53,480
with the fuel we've got, it'll be a miracle, all right.

438
00:22:53,640 --> 00:23:02,400
Start the calculators, engine room, reverse tubes. Wait for new

439
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,839
COSS vector seven oh seven three new costactor set firing

440
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:14,160
formula two six three five seven two six firing coming

441
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:20,079

443

Speaker 8: Seven three fire.

444
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:46,599
Speaker 3: You don't recall much after that. There's the bulkhead pressing

445
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,200
against you like a magnet, pressing harder and harder. Then

446
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,359
there's the needle, and then sudden relaxation. Throw it all

447
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,359
the stars and the moon, and Jack and Sue egan

448
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:00,799
dance and a pattern of mist, and the words come

449
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000
back to you from long ago, the things he said

450
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,640
to you when you were both in love, many years ago.

451
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 8: When I fly the ship, it seems that all earth

452
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,240
watches me through your eyes.

453
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,079
Speaker 3: A man comes to love the things he has to

454
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:14,599
fight for.

455
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: I guess how is she hold tight? Marcia hold tight

456
00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:19,559
to me.

457
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,519
Speaker 3: She calls you Marcia. This woman who hates you, who

458
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,720
loves your husband, She calls you.

459
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 6: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, Marsa, Marcia, Marcia.

460
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: The curved ceiling, but a new curve and soft rose

461
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,640
instead of chrome metal, a new feeling, unlike Earth or

462
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,119
the ship.

463
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,799
Speaker 8: Honey, you wake up, Jack. That's all right, honey. We

464
00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:04,279
made it where the moon moon. Yes, you're in the

465
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:05,720
new Lunar City Hospital.

466
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:11,039
Speaker 3: You did it, You really did it well.

467
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 8: I've been telling you for years that I was the

468
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,720
best pilot in the fleet.

469
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: Oh, you don't have to pretend. I know how you

470
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:20,839
must feel about what I did. I'm not pretending it

471
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,839
was a selfish coward. I wasn't concerned about anything but

472
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,720
my own happiness, Masha.

473
00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 9: There isn't any absolute scale for courage, or kindness or goodness.

474
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,400
I couldn't pretend to judge you or anybody else.

475
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:36,599
Speaker 8: I only know that I believe you're a good person,

476
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,680
and I love you with your false and your good points.

477
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,079
Speaker 3: I just wanted to be with you, Jack, That's all

478
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,920
I ever wanted. I'm sorry. I'm not brave and strong

479
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,799
like Susan or Yule or the others.

480
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,279
Speaker 9: Oh, honey, nobody expects you to be Come on, you've

481
00:25:57,279 --> 00:25:58,279
got to save your strength.

482
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:00,559
Speaker 8: We've got to take take care of you.

483
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 3: He reaches down and touches your lips with his fingers.

484
00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:15,920
It's like a benediction. You know that you'll never again

485
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:19,680
question his right to do the things that fulfill him.

486
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,000
To take a silver ship above the earth and guide

487
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:25,920
it to new planets. Our child will be born on

488
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,440
the moon, he whispered to him, and our grandchildren and

489
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:31,200
the stars.

490
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:40,079
Speaker 5: You have just heard X minus one presented by the

491
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,880
National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Galaxy Science Fiction magazine,

492
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:49,400
which this month features the Arthur Sellings tale entitled one Across,

493
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,599
the story of a man who thought that doing puzzles

494
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,799
was an escape until he suddenly found himself completely boxed

495
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:01,680
in Galaxy Magazine on your new stand day the night.

496
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000
By transcription, X minus one has brought you j Walker,

497
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:07,839
a story from the pages of Galaxy, written by Ross
