Speaker 1: Two thousands.
Speaker 2: Let us send our imaginations forward in time for the
years beyond two thousand AD.
Speaker 1: What strange adventures, what exciting thing will we find.
Speaker 3: In the world of tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Two thousand flu.
Speaker 2: Today and adventure about our space when the world's met
It is a year of two thousand and Fust twenty
and the giant space. For in Washington, DC, temporary capital
of the Federated World Government, an anonymous plot tends what
expectancy chems every available inch of space surrounding the rocket
planting field, all eyes straying.
Speaker 1: Up with it at the clear blue sky. For today
is the.
Speaker 2: Day, April twenty first, two thousand breastway an audio and
telebox that works in the world or up the rocket
field to cover the ever debat.
Speaker 4: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the day, the day
we've all been waiting for.
Speaker 5: In a matter of minutes, now.
Speaker 4: Out of that Frisian blue sky will come a ship
with space ship carrying in his cleaning hole the.
Speaker 6: First Flota SRAINI taken around the pits of Luna, that
ride of Earth since the beginning of the time.
Speaker 3: I one on the post.
Speaker 7: There's a single on the car that's maybe it's taken away, friend.
This is Fred Haskins reporting from the control tower. Our
escort planes have been in contact with the spaceship from
blowing up for the past twelve minutes. They are now
approaching the field from the northeast.
Speaker 8: Any moment now we.
Speaker 1: D oh wait ho pfliction of the actosphere.
Speaker 9: Her right, she quiet, she right, don't want to feel house.
Speaker 4: She's coming down.
Speaker 9: Mark, Well, let's stay my friends.
Speaker 1: This the doon of beh the fling every calling Moan,
that's call him moan. I mean Luna City. Luna said
he got a Dixon Protection.
Speaker 8: Way up in.
Speaker 1: You're three minutes late, started mcade.
Speaker 3: All shipman's as schedules every day, rookie report.
Speaker 9: Noted, checkout, check it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, Johnny, what full?
Speaker 11: Sometimes I think we're great spending our lives cooped up
in this pressurized shell breathing synthetic are We're see our
nets every time we put on a spacesuit and go
out to the cold, barren, bitted piece of green cheese.
Speaker 3: H for what were you kidding?
Speaker 1: Bull? You know the answer.
Speaker 5: We're space happy.
Speaker 1: That's all that's wrong with us.
Speaker 2: We pull every wire and frantically told the world Federation
apart getting this assignment.
Speaker 3: Of the Moon, and we'll do it again when the
first flight in a deep space gets underway next month
and next year, whatever they get through.
Speaker 5: With their preparations.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I guess that's.
Speaker 5: It right now, Johnny.
Speaker 10: What I wouldn't give to see a tree again?
Speaker 12: And corn fields in Kansas?
Speaker 8: Hey, I want to hear a bird?
Speaker 7: And what's the lights go on.
Speaker 11: In as skyscrapers along the water.
Speaker 5: I want to dance with my girls.
Speaker 10: Let's breathe in the sweet smell of lilas.
Speaker 5: What's that?
Speaker 8: Huh?
Speaker 3: That sound that bibra shouldn't here here?
Speaker 8: I'm not sure whether I heard or or photo.
Speaker 1: Johnnie, Like a current of air passing by me? Yeah,
that's it, some kind of pulsation.
Speaker 13: It's making skin tingling.
Speaker 8: Listen.
Speaker 13: Sounded different, didn't it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, niping pitch.
Speaker 13: The instruments are all steady, nothing on the the screen.
Speaker 8: The radar's negative.
Speaker 7: What is it, Johnny?
Speaker 5: Where's the problem?
Speaker 8: Not from Earth? I'll swear to that.
Speaker 1: I got a crazy notion. What a crazy notion that
someone's kind of suddenly you mean? I don't know what
I mean? Dave, Right, Baby, I gotta that.
Speaker 10: You, Johnny, Johnny, what is it?
Speaker 14: But pof look at the direction flighter, they swum all
the way around. Who sound those waves are coming from
dollar space?
Speaker 9: All right, go aheader, go ahead of act takes.
Speaker 8: What's going on up there?
Speaker 1: What's even Amy shistan Assy, here's a kind of stare
stuff giving up poison the monitors down here.
Speaker 6: Amy Joys, you've got a zoo McCabe.
Speaker 1: You picked him up on her curtay.
Speaker 2: Watch it on about the signals if that's what they are,
are coming from one definite spot in outer space, outer space.
Speaker 1: That's what I said, Johnny, get your space suit ready.
Speaker 5: I have a conference about it.
Speaker 1: But listen, have your man turned up rocket three or seven?
Speaker 3: Last drop it? Oh eight hundred?
Speaker 1: Let me expecting you on Earth in the morning. Heads Now, we've.
Speaker 8: Been getting those signals and not one or you teenersys.
Speaker 1: But been able to decide with any where, mister mckeeb,
if you know of anyone who can do it better.
Speaker 12: The easy professor Wolves, You don't have to be so touchy.
Speaker 10: But ten days, what do you say, doctor Lee? Ten
days or ten years? It makes no difference. If those
sounds of signals aren't cold, He's in your language unknown toime.
You're sure that we've consulted the foremost cryptographists of the world.
Speaker 1: We've tied Healy way to break the code.
Speaker 12: What are that at ups to that message?
Speaker 10: If it is a message, does.
Speaker 1: Not come from anywhere on Earth or from any man
on Earth.
Speaker 10: I told you, g It's what.
Speaker 8: I've been saying all wrong.
Speaker 1: Of course, you can't decode.
Speaker 9: Those messages in any known language, living or dead, because.
Speaker 3: They come from Mark.
Speaker 10: About Yes, Mars, my directional finder on the moon indicated
did mackay it down here?
Speaker 3: Bend it down?
Speaker 10: Look at the graph I brought it the direction Those
tingles can be wrong, yes, sir.
Speaker 7: But get this, I've been climbing those signals.
Speaker 8: They come at.
Speaker 2: Intervals of exactly twenty four hours, thirty seven minutes and
twenty two seconds until.
Speaker 1: The day on Mar Yeah, and if we were trying
to signal them, we do it, say every night at
eighteen hundred.
Speaker 3: That's what they're doing to us.
Speaker 10: In that case, the naked signal is due at ten.
Speaker 2: Medutsine thirteen seconds, and we're gonna be sitting here like
a lawmoss, feeling our scouts tingle while the message.
Speaker 13: Drift passes a gentleman.
Speaker 1: Excuse please, but it seems to me the message need not.
Speaker 10: Necessarily drift bust us.
Speaker 15: If by the message I do not mean this hounds
or the words that have been transmitted. I refer to
the thoughts themselves, the thoughts that perhaps are being transferred.
Speaker 8: From the Martians to us thought transfers.
Speaker 1: That's telepathy.
Speaker 15: We have discarded that word, mister Dixon too many Chartan Houston.
But we do know that there is extrasensory perception of
thought impulses. Just as there are sound waves which.
Speaker 16: Your ear has learned to interpret, and light waves which
your eye and brain transform into a picture, so there
are thought waves electrical impulses discharged by the brain which
vary with the.
Speaker 10: Particular thought and intriguing idea, Doctor Lee. If only we
had some instruments that could pick up and sort out
these impulses.
Speaker 15: There is such an instrumental professor would survivor I have
been working on it for many years.
Speaker 1: It involves a scanning screen into setting.
Speaker 15: An electrified feel what we're waiting for. You understand the
telepattra has only been tested.
Speaker 10: For short dignals are reaching us.
Speaker 13: All The important thing is how sort.
Speaker 10: Of instrument is in the next room.
Speaker 1: I took a little bit achieve of bringing it with me, hoping.
Speaker 10: It might considerably be of some use.
Speaker 1: This way, gentlemen, this little machine.
Speaker 10: Can take thoughts and tournament of words.
Speaker 8: We can hear English words.
Speaker 15: Not only English, mister machief. It will translate thought impulses
into any language for which you stiff the diers. You
think of something, mister Dixon.
Speaker 1: Now listen first I said for French, gentleman.
Speaker 10: Wonderful.
Speaker 5: And English.
Speaker 1: Don't call.
Speaker 2: You must understand doctor, But we'll have to postpone this
fifteen seconds to go.
Speaker 11: Better, set your dials for remote pickup stand by everyone.
Speaker 7: Nothing more power.
Speaker 5: Well there's a good tribe.
Speaker 10: Wait, I've got a think again. My skin's beginning to crow.
Speaker 5: Ye, yeah, mine too.
Speaker 1: No, you're coming from now.
Speaker 12: Planet for greeting Planet three hard the fourth planet from.
Speaker 1: The Sun, greeting planet three.
Speaker 12: Planet for balling planet three. We are trying to reach
you Planet three. Game you receive our signal respond. If
you receive our signal respond, we.
Speaker 1: Will call you engage in the game.
Speaker 4: My fore mark this week, ladies and gentle that the
question that but the whole man kind and a sist
today he first gona right and days and the heavens
a pamphis There is life on bars in Helen articulate
life the country of the world.
Speaker 1: When I see will excitement.
Speaker 8: As far as received as parts.
Speaker 4: As our Hello Papator, but.
Speaker 8: Seated and projecting as book.

call it really received? I loved ye like Jerry.
Speaker 8: I'll never get enough of it.
Speaker 1: Oh it's lovely Johnny.
Speaker 5: And look there is a monach.
Speaker 3: Oh please.
Speaker 11: You know it's hard to believe that back in nineteen
fifty people could still.
Speaker 1: Get romantic over that cold dead park Mark heavenly Yojo?
Speaker 3: How that red star?
Speaker 10: That's a different comp It's a line.
Speaker 1: There are living beings up there, honey, it's staggering.
Speaker 9: It's under matimation rubbish.
Speaker 7: Why shouldn't there be life off?
Speaker 1: So it's down they shift in in ay. Maybe you've
got a point of that.
Speaker 10: We thought we were so smart because they reached the moon.
Speaker 1: Our spaceship don't developed enough yet to get to Mark.
Speaker 8: It's just as well.
Speaker 7: But because you would want to be the first to go, wouldn't.
Speaker 8: You like that?
Speaker 1: I'd be quite a hero. You get point of my
picture and say, hey, that's my guy.
Speaker 10: You're my die anyway, Sure, don't worry, honey, I won't
be seeing any Martians for.
Speaker 8: A long time.
Speaker 3: All personnel stand by standing by.
Speaker 1: Or M signal that'll be mar hop to it.
Speaker 10: Johnny tell Apato door setting two hundred and twelve.
Speaker 14: Degrees eighteen seconds frequent say six hundred thousand.
Speaker 12: Plant for calling planet three. Planet for calling planet three.
We greet you in peace. Your response received. We come
from the time has come at this moment which marks
the beginning of the great interstellar age between the worlds.
It is viting the there be between us.
Speaker 1: A meeting of minds.
Speaker 12: Therefore, we are sending a ship to visit your planet.
The ship will depart to night and after your magnetic
field in seven of our days. Have landing instructions ready.
We come in peace. We come in peace.
Speaker 17: A leady ladies and gentlemen. This is Matt Wilson bringing
you a report of the Emergency Session of the Federated World.
Comment never as an assembly meetings taken place of such

on the high we were not followings aroused by.
Speaker 13: The stunning message from Mars, have been boiling and.
Speaker 1: Clashing all day.
Speaker 9: All right for a word reformation as the villian air.
The world's not a fairy government, I want and all
why goes marss have.
Speaker 6: Beating us to the calls gentlemen, if the.
Speaker 15: Decision we ought to make is to be a wise one,
we must lay asif ussions and fears and considers the
question calmly. The Emotians are coming, and we must receive them,
either with friendship or still. That may not be as
simple as it sounds. Remember, my pin, these martians are
advised scientifically.
Speaker 3: Perhaps far beyond us.
Speaker 15: We have conquered this speace.
Speaker 3: He can transmitted foot whees.
Speaker 1: He may have weapons.
Speaker 15: The tight which owing nuclear buns are stoic systems.
Speaker 1: Doctor Lee is fight settlement.
Speaker 9: We don't care.
Speaker 8: Fight.
Speaker 17: Come on.
Speaker 7: The risk is to wait.
Speaker 10: They come in peace, he said so, over and over again.
Be so receive them high, well, very wow.
Speaker 14: If thus is the will of his body, let them
come in peace. But as civilian head of the world
military government, I assure.
Speaker 1: You all we will not be found Eppy.
Speaker 3: Earth calling a martian gitter stellarship Earth calling martian gitter stellarship.
Here are the landing in Dutch of the Federated World
Government three earth days from this hour, which will be
the sixth Martian day of your flight.
Speaker 7: Bruce Base.
Speaker 10: You will be met by an escort.
Speaker 3: Of twenty rocket ship.
Speaker 1: We will greet you in the name of Death.
Speaker 10: The twenty rocket ships will it sort you in functions
to Commission of Defense.
Speaker 5: All escort rocket ships assigned to accompany Martian spaceship will carry.
Speaker 8: The following armaments de falk sprays.
Speaker 4: Magnetic disintegrators, atomic missiles Class B.
Speaker 1: All weapons shall be on the hand.
Speaker 10: Upon your country into the Earth atmosphere.
Speaker 3: You will circle our globe once and then make landing
at our spaceport at Los Alamos, New Mexico, which will.
Speaker 10: Be ready to receive you.
Speaker 5: The spaceport of Most Alamos, he shall be mine to

Speaker 1: Johnnie, you are to pick safe man.
Speaker 10: You're supposed to know by instinct what suitable.
Speaker 1: Accommodation for a Martian.
Speaker 8: Don't be silly, Kerry.
Speaker 4: I have the slightest notion in the world what they
look like, exceptance crazy ideas I.
Speaker 13: Picked up from science fictions.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why we're here ahead of.
Speaker 5: Our anthropology section has more ideas than any science fiction writer.
Speaker 1: You've ever read.
Speaker 10: Now Here we are, Harry, Hello, Progess. I know mistakes,
the professor, I've got a problem here, and I have
discussed the problem.
Speaker 5: It is my theory that the Martians.
Speaker 10: Will, in most important respects, have the characteristics of the
Earth man. Or what's the basis of your theory, Professor,
It's very simple. The accomplishments of the Martians parallel only
a being with opposable thumbs, confession, the intricate devices necessary
for spaceships on your being with a nervous system like
our own, good Master communications. Only a creature with a
brain like ours could pleame of peace makes sense, professors,
that's one side of the Chinese.
Speaker 8: A lot of other athopologists think differently.
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, that is so.
Speaker 10: They feel that the Martians.
Speaker 1: Living on a dry planet with little.
Speaker 15: Vegetation and the little water, will be creatures that crawl
on the ground like our insects.
Speaker 1: Enlarged a few thousand times, they may look like enormous
ants with oversized antella. With aly eight hours left, I
can't prepare accommodation for every.
Speaker 2: Conceivable form of light. Doesn't have to improvise after they
get here. I just hope they don't get too sick
when they first look at us.
Speaker 13: This is Matt Wilson again reporting from the spaceport at
Loss Animals.
Speaker 4: A tremendous crowd is galloped here.
Speaker 1: We're awaiting the appearance of the spaceship from Mars, which
is being escorted by twenty rocket ships from around the
bum me the Moon.
Speaker 13: According to report, calls.
Speaker 1: Gone well so far the Martians ship.
Speaker 5: The moment, please thody.
Speaker 1: Of us who's loo's going to be?
Speaker 8: Because the people assembled.
Speaker 1: You're attention to see there's ship up bars and that store.
We will be seen any moment.
Speaker 5: You heard that, any moment the.
Speaker 4: Ship from Mars, and he said, really honest.
Speaker 1: Now the ship famars the mark he sent the dialing
over the veil now casting a fuge shadow.
Speaker 10: Of the landscape.
Speaker 1: It's an all inspired technacle. The ship is tremendous, fifteen
to twenty stories of several city.
Speaker 6: Blocks long, and it's large window confessions.
Speaker 4: Of some kind of transpirit and command and do a
special defense with raw man battle stations.
Speaker 1: Oh a technical.
Speaker 3: Experts tearing at the past and open mouth wondering, mister
Cave's McCabe, what what what is your reaction?
Speaker 9: I I haven't done, clown.
Speaker 1: The ship doesn't seem to operate at a rocket prince room.
There's there's no belching fire, no cloud to snow.
Speaker 8: I keep wondering what.
Speaker 1: Kind of fuel me? I think as a proposal?
Speaker 8: What what meal? Thank you? Sir?
Speaker 1: Ship is almost touching the crown now and the crowd
is getting unseen whenever a back and though there was
something nice a house, wait think about the perfect or
wen wait.
Speaker 4: Whatever commanded a bet?
Speaker 1: All you are three are in all my remout sighting
atraws manned by the fire.
Speaker 4: Secretary of the World generational fung to speaking as your grace.
Speaker 5: Ship settles on our SiO.
Speaker 1: We served you the ever series of space. We wait
your day for your fears.
Speaker 13: Oh, the little mist is completely vanished. All eyes are
on the ship, waiting for the first mart to appear.
Speaker 10: There is no sign of.
Speaker 1: Activity it where you resperned to our three teams wat ships.
Speaker 7: Will you make your pressures?
Speaker 1: Nothing story, no game, plank forward, no sign of life.
Speaker 13: Perhaps they will not prepare for atmospheric conditions here, Perhaps
on the very brink of success, death is struck.
Speaker 1: Within that or inspiring vessel.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, it's moving.
Speaker 13: A tremendous section of the ship's now is opening out
in front like a gigantic tongue.
Speaker 1: It thrusts forward and tops to her.
Speaker 6: Forming a great graft from the ship to hour soil ten.
How it's down as the surface of the raft. The
surface of the raft is like nothing ever seen on
the surf, a shimmering, impompable her distance, unbelievably radiant and beautiful.
The throng of spectators is silent, buceless, scarcely breathing, waiting
to see the first Martian to merge.
Speaker 5: And still nothing, No.
Speaker 1: One, no thing comes down the ramp.
Speaker 5: There is nothing but silence.
Speaker 8: Listen.
Speaker 1: That must be the Martian communication vibrations we were told about.
Speaker 8: Then my moun field are operating and receiving device.
Speaker 4: As that you save one.
Speaker 12: Representative to board our craft, we are sure his safety, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Of course for arm I think there is. They want
a hostage or a specimen to take back with their
still type of arranging. They're waiting. We're position, mister secretary.
Speaker 10: Yes, it's all right in the committee.
Speaker 1: I'd like to go aboard technical information.
Speaker 10: Oh quiet chum, this is my ish McKie.
Speaker 1: I was lady for the space run of Mars. Remember
you're not doing me out of this. Besides, you're too
valuable to waste.
Speaker 3: Mister secretary, tell them I am coming aboard the bars.
Speaker 1: We do fly with your request. Our representative is about to.
Speaker 9: Board your ship.
Speaker 5: Get ready, Johnny Dickon, isn't it They got controng.
Speaker 1: The sun and the sky. Because deep breadth of the
Earth's good air, you may never get another left him
me whatever is waiting at the.
Speaker 8: End of this long ramp ramp, put you forward like.
Speaker 1: A can think about be getting right over the air.
Speaker 8: Damn, no's no one here, I.
Speaker 10: Think except that dancing lights follow it, and.
Speaker 1: Man, well, can I closed hit by four solid walls?
Speaker 12: Follow the light and the walls will not even beat you.
Speaker 1: But like your realientation changing the destiny of soul that
matter at will? We adieve that.
Speaker 12: In thousands of psychos.
Speaker 1: Ago, man, where are you mad?
Speaker 8: A box?
Speaker 1: Romans got it with life, And I know.
Speaker 12: We are not ready to reveal ourselves.
Speaker 7: The people of Earth are waiting to see the wealth.
There is nothing to this.
Speaker 12: We are not afraid.
Speaker 1: Dixon, you know my name.
Speaker 12: We know many things. That is why we are said,
filled with revulsion.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what do you mean?
Speaker 12: Through the dog space ways? We came to you in peace.
Speaker 1: You said to us, come in peace.
Speaker 12: But the escorts you said to honor us were armed
for destruction. The very ground on which we now rest
scenes with radioactive potential.
Speaker 9: Way you've met understood it.
Speaker 1: These workmen are with defense against you.
Speaker 12: Nothing recycles Ago. We of Mars learned as your earth
men will someday learn that wars are fought, men are slaughtered,
Civilizations wiped out by those who attacked them with weapons
of giants?
Speaker 7: What our world is it?
Speaker 1: Lisa?
Speaker 12: Your peace is not peace. It is a thin cloak
which covers the hates and fears and savagery of primitive beings,
observed Dixon on this large business screen. We have for
hours been viewing your people in.
Speaker 8: Many parts of your earth.
Speaker 1: Why listen, I want you It was a trap.
Speaker 5: We'll never again see Dixon alive.
Speaker 8: I told you not to trustformness.
Speaker 1: Just give me the word, and I have placed them
all in.
Speaker 8: The kingdom coming.
Speaker 4: You must not be deceived.
Speaker 8: These only one man, the rest of us stiff?
Speaker 12: Are you look at this from another part of your civilized.
Speaker 1: You to our party, you'll be gifting of bushing. You
assured us that.
Speaker 12: You would Betty my first.
Speaker 5: You wear great fish.
Speaker 1: I flash, flash, that's a backward part of our planet.
Speaker 4: It's not better to judge by them.
Speaker 12: Then we reveal a more civilized area, the country of
your birth.
Speaker 1: Dix, stay up. The square fish IMPENSI.
Speaker 12: Now you know why we shall not reveal ourselves to you.
If you are like this to these or your old guide.
Speaker 8: What will you think?
Speaker 12: What will you do when you see us strange as
we are?
Speaker 1: Don't we know you may be different, but we can
all meet.
Speaker 12: In These must be achieved through toil and sacrifice for
those you among you who understand its meaning. It may
take many cycles. In the end, the day will arrive
then and they only we will return. Go back to
your people, man of us, and give them the message
from us.
