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 Validation papers, Please your papers. 35 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.039 Madam, oh papers? 36 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:48.360 Oh? 37 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.719 Yes, here there, this is Marsha Foster. 38 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:54.759 You feeling well, Miss Foster? 39 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.159 Yes quite well, Thank you. 40 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.039 We have to make sure.

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.

You are not, 53 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.360 Missus Foster. 54 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.520 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 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 Honey, Honey, I'm back Jack. Oh, darling, you miss me? 64 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.560 Did I miss you? 65 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:33.920 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 Oh it's beautiful. 68 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.519 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 Oh? How long has she been on the earth? Moon run. 71 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:52.560 I guess about a year now. 72 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.839 It's funny you never mentioned her, Oh haven't I? 73 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.000 Well, what's the difference? 74 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:00.519 Odd? 75 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:01.519 Hey? 76 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:02.360 What? 77 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.240 Well? You're not jealous, are you? Is she pretty monstrous? 78 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.600 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 Oh, you're insane? 81 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.920 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 Sorry. 84 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.600 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 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 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 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 I do get a month vacation. 96 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.279 Yes, that is no kind of life. 97 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.759 Oh, Musha, I don't know what I can do about it. 98 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.600 You haven't tried to do anything about it. 99 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:04.199 I guess you're right. 100 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.439 Do you intend to try? 101 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.800 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 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 Oh no, that's ridiculous, is it. 106 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.160 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 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 They missed the planet. That could happen to anybody. 111 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.079 They missed it because they tried to warp the ship around. 112 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.279 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 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 Well, well, there was a jaywalker aboard the Elsinar. 119 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:52.120 A jwalker. 120 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.120 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 I still don't see how they missed the planet. 128 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.959 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 The pilot took a chance, he did just that. 135 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.079 Is that why they missed the planet. 136 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:35.360 They lost their trajectory. 137 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.199 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 And that couldn't happen today. 141 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.480 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 You wouldn't try it risk. 144 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.399 An entire ship to save the life of one fool. 145 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:54.959 You wouldn't. 146 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.519 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 As inconceivable for you to give up spaceflight for my sake. 149 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.079 Isn't it equally inconceivable for you to put up with it? 150 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:08.680 For my sake? 151 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.199 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 No, what exactly do you mean? 154 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.399 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 Why do I have to decide? Why can't I have both? 157 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.079 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 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 If I did, I'd just be walking around resenting you. 165 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.600 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 No, we're not having dinner. 168 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.399 You'd rather stay home tonight? 169 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.720 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 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 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 Well, you could get a job, you could develop some interesting. 182 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.639 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 And I'm not that man. 186 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.759 No, No, you're not Okay, what are you doing? 187 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.600 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 Would you mind telling me where you'll be? 190 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:42.200 I don't know. 191 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.039 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Well, you think to yourself, everybody's here.

A tall girl about twenty nine 260 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:25.200 or thirty, dark brown hair, dark eyes.

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 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 I'm afraid I don't. 368 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.519 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 Okay, sirs, it's all he. 371 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:42.519 Is. 372 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:43.519 He always that rude. 373 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.359 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 Strain? 376 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.200 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 No, I hadn't thought about it. Let's go. 385 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:14.920 I've got to strap you into that there. 386 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.880 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 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 What causes it? 391 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.400 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 To you, do you think he can do it? 395 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.400 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 I have faith in him. 399 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:07.799 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
