(03:07):
at the scientist and he got allbuttoned up. I'm just ride to Cap
show. That's promise, man putting. Get down to Cap Kennedy for the
briefing. I guess Wait it checksgeneral same as yesterday, sudden if you
(03:32):
checked the pulse? Wait, yes, sir, normal as indicated, respiration
normal, no significant change. Well, general looks like I get to go
to the moon. Huh. Yeah, except that you were unbound for the
moon. How's that again? Butthe general really not your object of Winston.
Oh, I know you've been letto believe that this was the culmination
(03:53):
of our moon trials, but itisn't. Look I was promised. They
told me a little first man onthe moon, and I achieved yaded,
That's not true. No matter whatyou say, there's the biggest day of
my life. I know who Yourobjective is not the Moon, Winston,
your objective is Mars. What mostsecrecy was. Essentially you realize that,
(04:29):
Oh yeah, sure, you'rena sure. Now I want to introduce you to
Professor Killiffer, who will give youthe true grieving for what your assignment is
going to be. But come thisway, oh professor, this is later
Donald Winston, the cosmonaut chosen forthis great and historic flight, right he?
How we do, young men?I feel fine? Thanks pressing.
(04:51):
Then let me put it to aSynthey. We have decided that the time
has come for one of you,young men, to demonstrate that believe the
world in space travel. We havedecided to make a manned space landing on
the right planet Mars. Is thatpossible, Professor, Yes, of course.
But you see, you will notmerely be traveling through space. You
(05:15):
will be traveling through time time.I don't get it. No, no,
no. We are using a newtechnique. We have experimented exhaustively with
it, and it shows no signsof possible failure. It is as successful
as we hope. Then the galaxiesare open to us and we may travel
in the spaces between the stars timetraveling or I've speculated about its service because
(05:40):
we all have, and it's apretty rough snatch. Well as a matter
effect, that is exactly what wewant to discover. We are using a
rain Holds theory of the time slip, and once your ship has passed beyond
the Earth's orbit, then the specialgear will come into operation that will launch
you through the fourth time. Shouldn'tare you willing to be the first man
(06:02):
to undertake this gut experiment? Whywe must be the greatest thing you ever
tried. It is your permission tomention miss my wife. Sir, there's
all right. I suppose human feelingsmust be taken into constipation. Thank you,
sir. Now you uh speak toher and see you at the launching
time. Jane, honey, Itell you it isn't dangerous, you know,
(06:38):
travel through time. Who had thatcrazy idea? Oh, professor,
Oh, I know it's like anold nut, But he's a great,
great scientist. He wouldn't. Woulda man run any unnecessary? Who is
coming? I could think of yourflying to the moon of the stars.
But where will you be now?Done? Between the minutes and the hours,
between the centuries how can I knowdone? Please please tell me where
(07:00):
it us to go. I can'tdo that, Jane, it's a chance
of a lifetime. I can't dothat. Can I know? An you
want to come back, don't nevercome back to me that because you find
your own death. Wine. Youhave a check on uptime for fifty centuries
(07:30):
and downtime back as far as thesecond I say good, excellent. The
power required will be two thousand andeight sound units and the slip will be
over near fifty years. A professor, do you know for sure that this
is safe? Time travel has neverbeen fired before? How can I possibly
answer that? Checking out electric respondinga schedule watler, A red rockets control
(08:11):
function appears normal, Sir, checkingairlines and fuel balancing, check by instruments
normal. Why are you ready forcountdown? All right, y, I'm
heading you over to Professor Kilimer,who will complete this breathing things done.
I'm receiving your professor. When thetime slip takes place in orbit, you'll
(08:33):
film nothing. There will be nearlyas singing in your ears. Do you
understand? I understand? Good?A countdown that will start now nine eight,
seven, six, five, fourthree four one plot up, pess
(09:11):
that you're ready with a chronicle.Yes, I am particular ideas. The
capture has established a study orbit.Now searches. Are you a seeing here?
(09:39):
Are you reading me? We arereceiving Winston. I'm in a dark
dark where am i? You arepassing through the dust of passing time.
You are in the tops of alltime. Son, You will a budge,
(10:00):
a sense of falling life, fallinglife. Relax completely instance, be
perfectly still, breathe deeply. Thinkof traveling through the spaces between the stars.
Between the stars, I read ithas six life years. He checked
(10:48):
me. Yeah, that checks.But there's no word from him either this
distance curly, ye have a signal? No, no, no, no,
he's moving in time, moving intime, killiper or lasting time or
(11:11):
just a moment. They say,it's an instance, Professor, my dad
he's asleepers. I simply have totalk to you, and I know exactly
what you have to say. Myhusband isn't coming back? Is that it?
How can you say such a thing? How can you emain so calm
(11:31):
with you? Suspect that cut up? I've looked into your eyes, professor,
and I know you're mad. Andthey fool the others general knowing down
the rest, but I know yoursecret. You'll start waving mad. There
has been a technical interference with theideal transmission from the caption. That's all
not as well as I do.You'll stop waving. That will well?
(12:09):
For it uh to be lost beyondthe star as you seels, isn't it?
But what is it like to belost in time? It must be
like living two minutes away from sanityEarth half? Are you really Earth?
(12:39):
It's dark? It's dark. I'mmoving in the Norway in Earth Hearth.
You're reading mes while I'm Michael Rochesteron the corner card. Yes. I
(13:00):
put it at a microsecond list withthe automatic time ship count that should give
us contact at any minute. Howdo we know? How do we know
any longer than a minute means toDon Winston or a million years? Kind
of that he last last in time? I have no means of knowing if
this message being received, I'll nevergo on broadcasting as long as it remains
(13:22):
possible. Yeah, reading your instantloud and clear contact re established them.
Now get this, Mars, thered planet is direct. Their hell of
me has made his speed. Twentyeight thousand restaurant nuts. I can see
the famous canals quite clearly. Twominutes exactly how to fire the retro roc
(13:43):
as to swam my descent understood.It's be exactly if I do it will
succeeded. The rundown Welldess dreams he'ssteering a direct cross. Oh ma,
switch back, I am about tofire the retro Wnston, Dan Winston,
(14:26):
are you still in contact? Winston? Are you still in contact? Come
in, Winston, Yes, gentlemen, come in, Missus Winston. We've
(15:00):
established contact with your husband. Thenhe's alive and well, you know he
isn't coming back. What's an absurdthing to say? Last night I had
a dream of a planet with twomoods. And then please spare me your
dreams, Missus Winston, I tellyour husband is alive and well, I
thought two men. Then we walkedslowly to Greek one another, and one
turned to me. I thought itwas done. His face was terrible.
(15:22):
He looked mad driven. How itis mine by her? Now? This
is ridiculous from the first place.It's only a dream in any case,
how could there be two men?Mars is uninhabitants as far as we know,
too far away out there lonely inthe immensity of space, terrified.
My main reason in calling on youwas to ask you to come down to
(15:45):
the control room and talk to yourhusband. Perhaps that will convince you.
Will you come with me? Yes, yes, I'm not just come up.
I have to hear it all rightto the very end. Here Winston,
(16:11):
Hello, missus Winstance, please climband sit down. Diamond here,
have you read anything further from down? We lost contact on the landing.
That that was to be expected.He hasn't been in touch for some fifteen
minutes, but there's no crossfire.I listened to the monitor, speak alert
missus Winston. There that slight crackall means he switched out of his transmitter,
(16:33):
calling Earth coming Earth, you're receivingme. I'm reading your winstant The
capture has landed safely. I amstanding on the surface of the planet Mars.
This is the historic moment, Winston, her journey faith in mates for
space and time. Yo right' youhear Winstance that she wants to speak to
(16:56):
you. Then I sell contact thepresident him says I want to speak to
June please, yeah, speaking tothe microphones. Don are you all why?
Sure? Sure? Muzzy. Iguess I feel different, honey,
He'll need to explain. Now,look at yourself. I'll be back soon,
(17:19):
huh, I need you here,hurried back now, I don't know
I'm down on your physical symptoms.Well, I feel okay, I guess
just lonely and if I don't knowhow to say it, as if I
had lost some part of me,some part of me that got away during
(17:41):
those lonely miles in space and time. I haven't any way of saying it
properly. I may have changed insome way. What is the reading on
(18:06):
the promo cord? Well, let'ssee seventy thousand, two hundred and nine,
Linton. Check that last figure?Did you say? Nine? Check?
Nine? Reread? Seven? Iswhat important to the second displacement?
(18:26):
I can't understand. Although the instrumentsmay be photo, never mind the intendment.
Now tell us what you see aroundyou. Oh, just this great
red planet, treeless and lifeless,rocks everywhere, blue rots, with lines
of strata stray yellow, as ifmolded by a great heat. Here'll need
(18:49):
samples instant, I'll bring them andextend. There is no sign of life
at all, no none. LowHill, just to my right I'm gonna
climate. They don't have a muchwider view of the landscape. I'll switch
(19:10):
off for a few moments. Ohor not. I'm horrible, missus Winston.
It's an oor inspiring and run thepul romance. Your husband has done
something no other man has ever done. Is done makes difficentest and you could
be very ill sit He lots somepart of himself. Can't you imagine it?
Our on that red plain alone,its quite alone, on an alien
(19:33):
planet, locked away behind the timeday. I just thought of something.
Einstein pointed out that if a manon a distant planet could look at her,
he wouldn't see the day at all, but the past. He might
see the Battle of Water Loure,something of a sort that's done on b
Winston. You've taught to him,you've heard him. He's getting him contact
before. I don't understand this something. I like it very much. Here's
(19:56):
avery wrong about this place. Somethingcan be wrong. Yeah, somebody's tell
(20:18):
me wrong. It's impossible. Iam. I climbed a little hill with
a muscle as sister, who wasquite easy. I reached the top.
I think I'm going mad because behindme, I add in front of me
it's it's a mirror image. Rocks, red earth, everything a lot like
a mirror image. I can't goeven a little hill. I'm going to
(20:38):
walk over that yelder. How canI? It's it's fas hill and I'm
standing at it. I think Imust be going mad. He's coming in
(21:00):
again. I walked across the landscapeinto the mirror, very silent here,
No birds, insects, no noiseof any kind. In my footsteps seem
noiseless. There's a sense of desolationand nothing less here. Nothing sky is
yellow, landscaping doubles. It's double. You must keep a firm heard of
(21:21):
yourselves. Winston's like a nightmare.Done done, Come back to me.
I'm lost in a nightmare. Itdoesn't done much, just that the landscape
is double. But I'm scared ofwhat I may find and what I may
meet out here. But man,you just said there was no living thing
of a scene or herd. I'mnot scared of living things. Will it
(21:44):
be alive? How can it bealive? Yet? Time has images.
Time is like a great part ofpictures, endless. And there he terms
walking down from a little hill overand there he might expliss it. Winston
who's coming Cosmo in a space tootall? Young? You know that's impossible.
Instant there can be not a manon that planet. And that's the
(22:10):
Russians. No, this isn't aRussian. Well I know quite well.
Hi done, since they're tell usnow which we're twins and I'm twins.
This is the worst kind of urr. Do we both exist? Yeah,
we both exist in times different exist. There we go, I am and
(22:34):
all wait, I am John Winston. Then who you Don Winston? Because
now you're not champy. You justcut that out, keep your ahead your
phone. It's possible. Then aman meets himself in black can't be possible.
(23:18):
We'll never know if Don Womston evergot home. One thing I'm certain
of. We've seen nothing of himhere behind the Creekindle. This is your
(23:45):
host back again. Just a reminderof our ROUNDEVO next week where a week
through the Creekimble. Both the manufacturersof State Express three five S filter King
