 It is planetary travel, a time for scientists and inventors, but is available to everyone on regularly scheduled commercial ships. When used, there's no longer a global affair, but originates in a thousand far-flung forts along the spaceway. 14 morning in the control room of IGNS, the Intergalactic News Service, where a great network of elaborate electronic devices receives the news that originates in every corner of the galaxy. 24, IGNS's most famous reporter, passes them on to the board. You're taking an interstellar cruise, it's a little like a busman's holiday, isn't it? But I'm proud to have you and your assistant misspender aboard. Well, sometimes it is good to see there all our theory finally ends up kept in. It gives a scientist like myself a little perspective on his work, to find it informative. I need a just to relax. Please, really, Captain, may I have permission to watch the preparation for the last song? Oh, certainly my dear, just go down that corridor there and ask Lieutenant Brominez. He'll show you everything you want to see. Thank you. No, sir, he's not on the passenger list, but he says he's going to make the trip with us. Get rid of him, Governor, that's your job. He won't go, sir, he insists on seeing you. He's waiting just outside. I haven't, but I, um... Oh, really, I've been... It's not about her crashing, Captain. I'm Whitey Fuller. I'm covering the boldest star story for one out of 36 news agencies. And you must buy room for it. I must, eh? That's all I've been hearing for two months. Ever since this cruise was announced. Every big shot in every capital wants to get in on the action. I'm not interested in your act, Captain. It's a just a little job to me. News is my business. And I'm not interested in your business. And, dear Captain, how would you like to lose $2 million worth of publicity? If I don't make this trip, I guarantee you that not one picture, one story, or one portion of the Golden Star's new experience, but even those among you who have had some contact with it in the past will apply this effort-making voyage and experience beyond their wildest... ...inch we land on the moon, and I'm going to get me a space to take a personal look at those uranium mines and the craters. Boy, won't that be something to talk about? Well, perhaps I'll join you, then. The name's Jimmy. Jimmy Pregis. And, say, that'd be swell, Reverend. My mom's not keen on spaces. Oh? Says they spoil her big day. She'd sure let me go with you, though. And, Reverend... Yes, sir. How about more? We get there on April 17th, and we have three full days. What would you say to a plane flight over those canals so that we can really start the car and be fast? That's what it is. Just look at this. That's our earth in the black of the space, that great blue-green shimmering sphere. That's an incredible point. It's the glow of my teacher's death from the light. North America? South America? Look, you can see the old light. My map was alive. It showed South America in paint. Clean that telescope and take a look at the moon. What is that in the Milky Way? Uh, when we land there, you stick close to each other. Oh, you think I can't take care of myself? Of course you can. What's the percentage? Here I am ready, willing, and infatuated with M.B. Lewis. You know something I mean? What? You're magnetic, baby. I'm gravitating right towards you. Why, Mr. Fuller? I'll bet you gravitate yours all together. I should certainly do something here for her. Mr. Fuller, right here on the observation deck. Oh, you take the car to my back station. It's just outside the door here, right? Are you Montgomery of Communications? Huh? Also of Duluth, Minnesota? You know why? Something tells me this is one space flight. I'll never forget. Maybe I'm in love. Well, no. So may I have them take a drive off you? Or, uh, maybe it's someone on the show? Well, you're the recorder, Heidi. Well, why don't you find out? I think that's what I'm looking for, Heidi. Do you sign in paper for me, Heidi? It's very important. Oh, it is. What does it say? It says that you, with your own eyes, saw me hide you on 18 feet. On Mars, isn't it? Well, you don't have to put that in. But I guess not. Survive that, boy. You're a strange... Oh, well, there you are. The indications that should not be present in this segment of the galaxy. Have you seen Captain North? No. Surely you don't doubt Captain North's aggregation, do you? Oh, it's not that. It's just that a sixth sense that Kelsen shows me some tricks. You know, sir, one moment. I would like to get your opinion on something he has not done before. What is it, comrade? Would you take a look at the radar scope immediately, sir? Switch on this inferior one here. What's that? I don't know, sir. It's heading this way like a streak of white. What's wrong, Captain? What's the matter, sir? This is a tremendous object. What's that? Hey, it's a ball of fire. It's a medium. Sir, the rest overdrive for 3-7. Send SOS signals to our spacecraft. Attention all stations. This is the aphrodisiac broadcast. This is the emplacement. This is the original plastic glass space barrier. What's happened, everybody? The ship is smashed up, sir. Now, sir, you must be brave. Smashed up? The ship's around here. And anyway, nothing in this room has been smashed. Nothing's even broken. I don't believe it. We were very fortunate, Jimmy. You see, the ship was divided into compartments like a tool chest. As of the crash occurred, each compartment was filled up by automatic devices. This compartment alone has taken destruction in free and spaced room of emptiness. Then what happens would destroy it. Everybody's dead with us. Everybody's dead. My mother's dead. It is easy for her to flee. Help me. No, sir. Is there any chance of rescue? 50 passengers. 179 crewmen was there because of me with the meteorite. Now it is all beginning to move around us in an orbit. They are our satellites. It is a law of nature, Magna. There's nothing to be morbid about. Well, if it's unbearable, why don't we keep torturing ourselves, closing these shutters over the observation ports? And a- Well, let me somebody to get to it, to bring it along, sir. There is a way. I'm going out there. I have to get a helmet, then. Rather than not coming to ship in the last war. This is my dish of tea, boys. I'm no hero, because I'm on the way out anyway and you're at home. Well, do I get to you, darling? Gentlemen, gentlemen, please. You're forgetting that our pilots whose lives are at stake. We all must bear the responsibility of making the decision very well. Mr. Fuller chooses to meet his destiny a little earlier. His gestures should be accepted. Dr. Lindstrom. To me, there seems to be no question. Mr. Montgomery represents the authority on the ship, but he says should go. No, don't ask me to make such a decision. I don't want to get that life brought anyway. All right. I had my ration at all. What happened after everything was gone? He's young. He used to put the rest around. It just brought the fragments of a monster. They couldn't find us to one tiny portion of his universe. Science is old. We're not pressing any more. You're moving in this tree. He misgots it. He misgots it. He miscalculates, gentlemen. His navigation fingers were perfect. It was the stars and the heavenly bodies that were blown off their course. Gentlemen, an hour before the golden star smashed up, we tried privately to reach you. Astronauts, this explosion in Galaxy 3, the saving machine, shut down big useful days to determine the precise. We headed for the determined course. What are you doing? I am a fascinating ship.
