00:01:59The End
00:02:29The End
00:02:59The End
00:03:29The End
00:03:59The End
00:04:29Oh, blast!
00:04:40Drop something, Toby?
00:04:41No, but one of these tubes is leaking. Now I can't be certain of the rate of evaporation of Trinomy.
00:04:46That must be a terrible blow.
00:04:47I wish I was a fuel expert, Toby, or a super engineer like Steve.
00:04:52Why the sudden yearning, Phil? I thought you were convinced that you'd already achieved perfection.
00:04:58Well, as no American believes then.
00:04:59Well, we'd better go ahead and report to the old man, we'd better go ahead and report to the old man, we'd better go ahead and report to the old man, he'll be getting impatient.
00:05:07Ah, here they are. Did you find it all right?
00:05:10Got a right here, Professor, all right here. All right here. All right here. All right here, Professor, all ready for running. Fine, fine. The takeoff film is all ready. Oh, General, please forgive me my bad manners. Gentlemen, General Hayes, who has spent the day with me, represents the defense council. This is Dr. Stephen Mitchell, our chief structural designer, head of our engineering department. How do you do, sir? How do you do? We were fortunate enough to borrow him from the United States government. I've heard great things about your work, Dr. Mitchell, both at White Sands and elsewhere.
00:05:39Dr. Philip Crenshaw, he's our head biologist. It is, of course, essential to establish the living conditions up there.
00:05:47Dr. Crenshaw, I know what great problems you have to solve. I'm quite sure you'll solve them speedily and efficiently.
00:05:53Thank you, General. And last but not least, Dr. Toby Andrews. He's our fuel expert.
00:06:00Oh, you're the chap who's burning up all those gallons and gallons of hydrogen high peroxide.
00:06:04And I'll have to burn a lot more, sir. Because of me, there might even be a shortage of blondes in the world.
00:06:09Excuse me, Professor. They are ready in the projection room.
00:06:14Thank you. General, this is Dr. Frank, who's in charge of our mathematical work.
00:06:18How do you do? How do you do? And a more charming mathematician I could not imagine.
00:06:24Well, if you're ready, we could go into the projection room now.
00:06:27This way?
00:06:28Yes.
00:06:28These are just general shots of the preparations prior to the take-off, which you will see in a moment.
00:06:39The rocket is now 20 miles up.
00:06:56In a moment, we shall lose it.
00:06:58But the automatic cameras take over, and we will show you how the rocket sees the Earth,
00:07:03the reverse sight of the experiment, and how the passengers reacted to those conditions.
00:07:09The rocket reaches a height of over 200 miles before it starts returning to the Earth.
00:07:17Its trajectory has been carefully computed so that the instrument carrying gnomes,
00:07:23its descent slowed by a series of automatic parachutes,
00:07:28is aimed to reach Earth within a 30-mile radius of deep field.
00:07:36Yes, all this is most impressive.
00:07:38You say that rocket was a Mark VII?
00:07:41Yes, General.
00:07:42The seventh modification of its type, and the most perfect.
00:07:45But, of course, it represents only our first stage.
00:07:47We're now ready to go into AS-1.
00:07:49AS-1?
00:07:50Yes, sir.
00:07:51We believe that we can send a rocket into an elliptical orbit
00:07:54to become the first artificial satellite of our globe
00:07:58that circles the Earth for an eternity.
00:08:01Our blueprints are all finished.
00:08:03All we need now is your authorization to go ahead.
00:08:06Yes, Dr. Kepler.
00:08:07There are still a lot of financial and technical details to be gone into,
00:08:10and that's going to take a little time.
00:08:13I should be only too happy to answer all your questions, General,
00:08:17providing you give us the right answer at the end.
00:08:20Steve, I'm so excited.
00:08:22Do you think it'll be all right?
00:08:23Of course it will.
00:08:25After all the time and money they put into this,
00:08:27they've got to go through it.
00:08:28The old man looks pleased.
00:08:29Thanks, Philip.
00:08:48I needed that.
00:08:54I'm jittery, just as though I had a share in all your important plans and schemes.
00:08:59Well, haven't you?
00:09:00At least you provide inspiration for Steve.
00:09:03And some others.
00:09:06Will you excuse me, gentlemen?
00:09:12Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to Deanfield.
00:09:15Deanfield.
00:09:15Deanfield.
00:09:15You all know what we've accomplished up to date.
00:09:23We have more than doubled the height reached by the Germans in 1944,
00:09:27and we have surpassed the distance achieved by the two-state rocket launched from the sands
00:09:33of New Mexico in 1949.
00:09:35You have all worked with ceaseless energy to achieve this.
00:09:39There are many nationalities among us, but only one team.
00:09:44I wish I could tell you that some of your sacrifices are over, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:09:50But I am happy to announce that after a full consultation with the Defense Council
00:09:56and his inspection of our work, General Hayes has authorized us to proceed at once with our AS-1.
00:10:05I thank you all for your loyalty and enthusiasm.
00:10:09I thank you all for your support.
00:10:13Toby.
00:10:14Hmm?
00:10:15I'm sure you're thrilled by the news.
00:10:17We all are, Mrs. Mitchell.
00:10:20But it's really Steve I'm happiest for.
00:10:22Oh, yes.
00:10:23He's deliriously happy.
00:10:24So am I.
00:10:25I would be if you'd get me a drink.
00:10:28I shall personally supervise the preparation of this formula.
00:10:36My dear, you must be proud of your husband.
00:10:38This is a great day for all of us.
00:10:40You do believe in the team spirit, don't you, Mrs. Daniels?
00:10:43Absolutely.
00:10:44You know, some women might chafe under all these restrictions and tedious passes and regulations,
00:10:50but I love them.
00:10:51I feel as if we were in a besieged fortress.
00:10:54One of those places on the northwest frontier.
00:10:56The tribesmen howling outside in the rescue column three weeks overdue.
00:11:00Oh, yes, I've seen it dozens of times on the pictures.
00:11:03Oh, really?
00:11:04I keep on telling the Colonel.
00:11:06Alfred, I say to him, I'm not one bit bored.
00:11:09I love every minute of it.
00:11:10Don't you?
00:11:11No, thank you.
00:11:12I loathe every minute of it.
00:11:14And with every minute, I loathe it more.
00:11:16I'm afraid that's altogether too technical for me, Dr. Kepler.
00:11:20Oh, I'm sorry, General.
00:11:21I had an idea.
00:11:23For me?
00:11:24How sweet of you, Philip.
00:11:26I sent Toby off that he got caught in an exhaust blast or something.
00:11:29He's a scintillating boy, Toby.
00:11:31I'm sure he must have been weamed on liquid hydrogen.
00:11:34He bores me.
00:11:35That's not a nice way to talk.
00:11:36He thinks the world of Steve.
00:11:38Would follow him to the ends of space.
00:11:40They deserve each other.
00:11:41Any minute now, I'm going to get a splitting headache and I'm going home.
00:11:45I hope your headache will be pretty bad, too.
00:11:48Yes.
00:11:49I already feel it coming on.
00:11:51I must say that nine months will be ample, providing we have the necessary priorities.
00:11:56Have I interrupted the masterminds?
00:11:58Do forgive me and do go on.
00:12:00I just wanted to tell my husband that I've got a headache and I'm going home.
00:12:03If it doesn't upset the security rules.
00:12:06No, no.
00:12:07I wouldn't dream of breaking up the party.
00:12:09I insist, Steve.
00:12:10You must stay.
00:12:26I'm going home.
00:12:27I'm going home.
00:12:28I'm going home.
00:12:29I'm going home.
00:12:30I'm going home.
00:12:31I'm going home.
00:12:32I'm going home.
00:12:33I'm going home.
00:12:34I'm going home.
00:12:35I'll take some aspirin.
00:12:36You'll feel better in the morning.
00:12:37And tell the old man I've gone, will you?
00:12:44You must feel proud, Steve.
00:12:46Proud and happy.
00:12:47Happy?
00:12:48That's an inexact word for a higher mathematician, please.
00:12:53Don't make fun.
00:12:55Isn't it the only thing that counts?
00:12:58The achievement of the mind?
00:13:01The creative effort?
00:13:03I don't know.
00:13:05All I do know is that we can do almost anything with matter or energy.
00:13:11We've streamlined science.
00:13:13But as for the human being, we're still muddling around in the stone age
00:13:18as far as our emotions are concerned.
00:13:21But I suppose you have it all neatly reduced to equations and theorems.
00:13:26Oh, yes.
00:13:28Very neatly.
00:13:30Well, good night, Steve.
00:13:35And thanks.
00:13:37Good night, Lizzie.
00:13:39Good night.
00:13:40Good night, Lizzie.
00:13:43Good night.
00:13:44Good night, you bird.
00:13:46Good night.
00:13:47All right.
00:13:48Good night.
00:14:02Philip, Philip, I want you. I want you so much.
00:14:12You've got to take me away from this concentration camp.
00:14:15Soon, darling, soon.
00:14:16How soon?
00:14:17It won't be long, I promise you.
00:14:21You'd better go now.
00:14:23But there's no hurry, Steve.
00:14:24Please, darling. We've taken quite enough chances as it is.
00:14:29All right.
00:14:30But kiss me first.
00:14:47Now you can give me a cigarette.
00:14:48All right.
00:14:50All right.
00:14:51All right.
00:14:53May I come in?
00:15:23What a mess. Let me tidy it up.
00:15:29Oh, no, no, no. Leave it till the morning.
00:15:31Mrs. Donnerville is happy when she's got something to do.
00:15:37And you didn't come back to tidy up.
00:15:43A mind reader.
00:15:48There are some minds I can read.
00:15:50Why am I so selfish?
00:15:53I should be happy now that we got what we wanted.
00:15:57But I'm not.
00:15:59I know you're not.
00:16:01I wish I could help.
00:16:03She'll destroy him. I know she will.
00:16:06Not Stephen.
00:16:07What is happening already? I've noticed it.
00:16:10You're not a woman. You wouldn't know.
00:16:12But you can't destroy something you don't possess.
00:16:16Tonight, I had the feeling that she suddenly realized how utterly apart from Stephen's world she really is.
00:16:25So did I.
00:16:27Lisa, let me get you a transfer.
00:16:31To the United States, perhaps.
00:16:34Oh, no one need know the real reasons.
00:16:37And if we'll give you time to think your way out of all this.
00:16:40Sweet of you to want to help me.
00:16:42But it's my own private battle.
00:16:46Running away won't help.
00:16:48You're like my own triad, Lisa.
00:16:53Anything I can do.
00:16:55I know.
00:16:57If I want to have a shoulder to climb, I'll come to you.
00:17:18You took your time, I must say.
00:17:25I suppose the party was a lot more fun after I left.
00:17:29I didn't stay long.
00:17:31I took a walk.
00:17:33I wanted some air.
00:17:37Well, I'm glad you're back at last.
00:17:39I want to get some things straight.
00:17:41Please, Vanessa. It's two in the morning.
00:17:43I don't care what time it is.
00:17:45I've found it.
00:17:47Oh, you needn't stare.
00:17:50You know perfectly well it's the letter from Universal Electric.
00:17:53Well, there's nothing sacred about it.
00:17:55And yet you hid it.
00:17:56You were afraid that I'd find it.
00:17:57Stop it, Vanessa.
00:17:58You're being childish.
00:18:00Am I?
00:18:01Aren't you childish, clinging to this job at army pay
00:18:04when you've got this offer at four times the salary?
00:18:06You know I can't quit.
00:18:08Slaves, that's what you are, all of you.
00:18:10Slaves in white overalls.
00:18:11You can't even blow your noses without permission from security.
00:18:14You knew what you were doing when you married me.
00:18:18I told you then that we might have to stay at Beanfield for several years.
00:18:22But the work was top secret.
00:18:24Well, suppose you did.
00:18:27I never dreamt it would be like this.
00:18:29I can't even choose my own hairdresser.
00:18:32I have to be content with one that's passed as a good security risk.
00:18:35Our letters are censored.
00:18:36They stick their noses into our pots and pans.
00:18:39They...
00:18:40I'd stand it if I knew you couldn't do better.
00:18:43But there's this offer and you simply ignore it.
00:18:46I have to finish what I start, Vanessa.
00:18:50How long will it take you to finish what you start?
00:18:56I don't know.
00:18:58Four years, five years, maybe less.
00:19:00Four years, five years, maybe less.
00:19:03Anyway, it's not really your job you're worried about.
00:19:07It's that precious Lisa Frank.
00:19:10Do you think I'm blind?
00:19:12How dare you walk out on me when I'm talking to you?
00:19:15Steve, I won't have you treat me this way.
00:19:17Go to bed, Vanessa.
00:19:20Oh, Steve.
00:19:23I only want the best for us.
00:19:25For you.
00:19:27If only you'd listen to me.
00:19:29If only...
00:19:31Go to bed.
00:19:42Oh.
00:20:00I thought you, er...
00:20:01Oh, hello, Toby.
00:20:03Party all over.
00:20:05Sometime ago.
00:20:08Oh, I just dropped by to, er...
00:20:10Look in on Luella.
00:20:12She's expecting you now.
00:20:14How's the expectant father bearing up under the strap?
00:20:17He hasn't got a thing to worry about, old boy.
00:20:18Luella's doing fine.
00:20:20You better start picking out names.
00:20:22Won't be long now.
00:20:24As a matter of fact, I left the key of my bungalow in my overalls.
00:20:28Came to pick it up.
00:20:29What brings you here, Toby?
00:20:31Oh, I was on my way home when I suddenly had a crazy brainwave
00:20:34that by making certain changes in the ratio of the new fuel propellant I'm working on,
00:20:39I could double its power without increasing its quantity.
00:20:42I knew I shouldn't get a wink of sleep unless I stopped by to check it with Junior here.
00:20:50I wanted to see whether or not...
00:20:56I was on the right track.
00:20:58Well, at least I haven't locked myself out.
00:21:06You're lucky having your own quarters.
00:21:08We small fry in the black hole have precious little privacy.
00:21:11Toby, I thought you had all the fun in the world there.
00:21:14Toasting marshmallows, exchanging boy's secrets.
00:21:17Good night.
00:21:18Good night, Toby.
00:21:29We will trace the path of the rocket on the astro screen.
00:21:33Here.
00:21:35Over here, the instrument panel will show the height reached
00:21:38and the various stages at which the automatic instruments will begin their work.
00:21:42Dr. Frank will call out the figures.
00:21:45And its course will be plotted on this chart.
00:21:48We are aiming at a distance of 1,075 miles above sea level.
00:21:53Why that figure, Professor?
00:21:54Ah, because at that height we know the rocket will become a satellite of the Earth.
00:21:59It will never return and will circle the globe once every two hours.
00:22:05We believe the three-stage rocket is the answer.
00:22:09After a vertical take-off, the first unit will carry it up almost 260 miles.
00:22:16This will drop off and fall back somewhere into the Atlantic.
00:22:19The second unit takes over and carries the rocket to 760 miles.
00:22:25And after this drops off, the third and final section continues under its own power,
00:22:32which will carry it into an eternal elliptical orbit around the Earth.
00:22:36And you believe that later on you can really achieve this on a larger scale?
00:22:42With my team, I am positive.
00:22:44Our calculations are decisive.
00:22:46Within two or three years, we shall be able to send up not only an instrument carrier,
00:22:53but a series of rockets containing the men and materials to build the first space station.
00:22:58You have the detailed report, sir. You know what we're trying to do.
00:23:02It still sounds fantastic to me.
00:23:06To build more than a thousand miles up a space station.
00:23:10Have you considered the positions that we lose the race to get there first?
00:23:14An observatory that will at last pierce the secrets of space.
00:23:17Which will keep every part of the globe under constant surveillance.
00:23:21A stepping stone to the moon and to the planets, to whole new worlds.
00:23:26And, if necessary, a launching platform for atomic weapons.
00:23:30I hope we shall never have to use it for that purpose.
00:23:32No, but it will be available if necessary.
00:23:33I, too, share Professor Kepler's hope that our space station will only serve peace.
00:23:39But we have been spending tremendous amounts of our defense budget on your work, Kepler.
00:23:44And we must be prepared for both peace and war.
00:23:50Ready, Professor.
00:23:52If you will take a seat here, sir.
00:23:54Certainly.
00:23:55All ready here, Steve.
00:23:57Mitchell fires the rocket from our forward control booth.
00:23:58Our nearest point to launching site.
00:24:04Thirty seconds.
00:24:25Thirty seconds.

00:26:062,040. Acceleration 8 G. 8. Tail section disconnected.
00:26:19What's your reading, Stephen?
00:26:21Steering jets active. Rocket now climbing 48 degrees. Exactly unscheduled course.
00:26:26Altitude 520 miles. 520. Speed 4,211 miles per hour. 4,211. Acceleration 10 G plus. 10 plus.
00:26:44Engines cut off. Why does it do that? We don't want to send it too far. Within a few moments the center section will disconnect.
00:26:51And the rocket motors in the nose section will be automatically turned on for about 15 seconds.
00:26:58This will increase the speed that has been reduced by the gravitational pull of the earth.
00:27:03After that, no more power is necessary.

00:27:37What is it, Kepler? What's happened?
00:27:38I can't understand.
00:27:39I can't understand.
00:27:40The 15 second boost.
00:27:41It didn't seem to work.
00:27:46Stephen, come to the control room immediately.

00:28:04What's the answer? What does it mean?
00:28:08How does one reply to the unpredictable?
00:28:10I can't believe those are calculations, nor our instruments.
00:28:15Yeah, well, what's going to happen with that rocket up there?
00:28:18It'll stay up there at a height of 633 miles for years.
00:28:23Eventually, of course, it'll fall back to earth.
00:28:26Does that mean total failure?
00:28:28Only a temporary one, sir.
00:28:30As long as the rocket stays up there,
00:28:33our automatic instruments will send out signals
00:28:36giving us valuable data.
00:28:40This is very disappointing.
00:28:42Let me have a full report as soon as possible.
00:28:44Yes, sir.
00:28:45It will break his heart.
00:28:47No, not Captain.
00:28:49We'll just have to start over again and soon.
00:28:51You don't know him as well as I do, Steve.
00:28:54For months now, he's lived on his nerves.
00:28:56And on hope.
00:28:58And on hope.
00:29:00They're all waiting in the assembly hall.
00:29:05Sir,
00:29:08I can't locate Dr. Crenshaw.
00:29:09for months now he's lived on his nerves and on hope they're all waiting in the
00:29:16assembly hall sir I can't locate dr. Crenshaw what he was supposed to stand by
00:29:28to check the animal reaction in the discarded sections I've looked
00:29:30everywhere for him sir I even picked up a couple of sergeants on the way we
00:29:33searched every building in every room and he hasn't passed through either of
00:29:37the gates there's not a sign of him nor of mrs. Mitchell
00:29:44if what you've just told me about dr. Crenshaw and mrs. Mitchell is true it's
00:29:48very disturbing why because we're scientists is that supposed to make us
00:29:53different from other people that's the whole point two people have disappeared
00:29:56and something went wrong with the rocket this was a normal experimental station we
00:30:00could send out a general alarm and get the press and radio to help us find them
00:30:04but we can't not a word of this can leak out I'll get a hand-picked man from
00:30:09military intelligence here as quickly as possible and of course no one is to
00:30:13leave dean field yes sir I guarantee no one will
00:30:17you
00:30:20um
00:30:30yeah
00:30:35Who is it?
00:31:05I came to see how you were.
00:31:12I'm fine.
00:31:19You mean you don't want sympathy?
00:31:22Well, perhaps I don't need it.
00:31:26May I sit down?
00:31:28Oh, please, forgive me.
00:31:30Don't you want to tell me about it?
00:31:37What are you driving at, Lisa?
00:31:40I mean...
00:31:42I mean that you're not being frank with me.
00:31:45Or with yourself.
00:31:48What do you mean?
00:31:51Steve, we worked together for almost two years now.
00:31:55I knew you weren't happy.
00:31:58Well, that's all over now.
00:32:04Slaves in white overalls, she called us.
00:32:08Maybe she was right.
00:32:10She was wrong, and you know it.
00:32:12Isn't that the greatest thing we're doing?
00:32:15Making the age-old dream of all men come true?
00:32:18Oh, Steve, you can't listen to the chatter of a spiteful woman who...
00:32:23I'm sorry.
00:32:26I forgot you loved her.
00:32:29No.
00:32:31I didn't love her, Lisa.
00:32:34Lisa wasn't that anymore.
00:32:39Why?
00:32:40I mean...
00:32:42Why did you marry her?
00:32:44I just came along.
00:32:50A big American scientist and a hush-hush job with the government.
00:32:54Top-secret stuff.
00:32:56She could see herself moving in high circles.
00:33:00Living a very glamorous life.
00:33:03It's an old story, Lisa.
00:33:10A guy with a one-track mind, nothing but rockets in his head...
00:33:15meets a beautiful woman with something entirely different in hers.
00:33:21Steve.
00:33:22I guess it's all very funny if you can hang on to your sense of humor.
00:33:26Steve.
00:33:27Steve.
00:33:28You'll work things out.
00:33:29You'll find a way.
00:33:30Sure.
00:33:31Steve.
00:33:32I guess we'll'll work things out.
00:33:33You'll find a way.
00:33:34Sure.
00:33:36Sure.
00:34:00Take this gentleman to Dr. Kepler.
00:34:02Right.
00:34:06You must realize my position, Major Smith.
00:34:15Dr. Smith, if you please.
00:34:17A doctor?
00:34:18Yes, I happen to be a doctor of science, professor.
00:34:20Biologist.
00:34:22The last five years I've been seconded to intelligence, but...
00:34:25biology is still my first love.
00:34:27I see.
00:34:28But you understand that anything to upset the work of our community here would be disastrous?
00:34:33Yes, of course.
00:34:34Will you?
00:34:34Hold on, thank you.
00:34:37It's a bad habit, I know.
00:34:39I find it stimulating, even if it is...
00:34:42old-fashioned.
00:34:45Yes, I understand.
00:34:47Officially, I'm here as a replacement for Dr. Crenshaw.
00:34:51I've allotted you Dr. Crenshaw's bungalow.
00:34:53Oh, have you?
00:34:53Good idea.
00:34:55I'm a great believer in atmosphere.
00:34:57Hunches may not be scientific, but sometimes they pay off.
00:35:01Just going down to the village.
00:35:05Very sorry, sir.
00:35:05Against regulations.
00:35:07I've got a pass.
00:35:11Sorry, sir.
00:35:12This is only valid for getting in, not for getting out.
00:35:14You're giving me a black mark, Sergeant?
00:35:20No, sir.
00:35:21Just making a note that you try to get out.
00:35:23And when?
00:35:24I see.
00:35:26Is this the only gate?
00:35:27No, there's one at the other side of the compound for lorries and vans.
00:35:31But it's garantly the same as this, sir.
00:35:33Quite a little fortress, aren't we?
00:35:35And unlikely that anyone could get past you two.
00:35:37Not if it's flesh and blood.
00:35:39Well, it gives one a real feeling of security, knowing there are chaps like you around.
00:35:42Thank you, sir.
00:35:43Good afternoon.
00:35:44Good afternoon, sir.
00:36:00Morning, Dr. Fink.
00:36:02Can you spare me a moment?
00:36:04Oh, dear.
00:36:05What is it this time?
00:36:07Oh, big one.
00:36:08Tell me, what's the fuel consumption of the instrument carrier?
00:36:14Well, it's a three-stage rocket, as you know.
00:36:18It was built to exact scale.
00:36:20One-tenth of the four-scale rocket we plan to build.
00:36:24Yes.
00:36:26It carried 52.5 tons of fuel for the first stage.
00:36:30Of this, more than 90% would be used in the first 84 seconds.
00:36:35And what about the second and third sections?
00:36:38The second would only use 7.7 tons.
00:36:42And the third, 9 tons.
00:36:44I see.
00:36:49Now, suppose that a certain proportion of the fuel for the third stage should be inoperative.
00:37:00What do you mean?
00:37:01Well, I'll say that, by mistake in loading, the final part of the rocket had only 6 or 7 tons of fuel, instead of the necessary 9 tons.
00:37:12Could that have caused the failure?
00:37:13It might.
00:37:14It might.
00:37:15But that's impossible.
00:37:16The loading was supervised by Dr. Mitchell himself.
00:37:20Every tank was checked by him.
00:37:22Yes.
00:37:23Yes.
00:37:24Yes.
00:37:25That's what I meant.
00:37:26Just what did you mean?
00:37:30I thought you came here to help us and...
00:37:32You mean that I haven't asked you any questions about Crenshaw and Mrs. Mitchell.
00:37:33Don't worry, Dr. Frank.
00:37:34Maybe I'm getting nowhere.
00:37:35Or maybe I'm getting somewhere by my own devious route.
00:37:39I'm a great believer in patience.
00:37:40Rather depressing, all Crenshaw's personal belongings, still around.
00:37:41Solar?
00:37:42Thanks.
00:37:43Feel as if I might bump it into your head.
00:37:44I'm not going to worry, Dr. Frank.
00:37:45Don't worry, Dr. Frank.
00:37:46Don't worry, Dr. Frank.
00:37:47Maybe I'm getting nowhere.
00:37:48Or maybe I'm getting somewhere by my own devious route.
00:37:49I'm a great believer in patience.
00:37:50Rather depressing, all Crenshaw's personal belongings, still around.
00:37:55Solar?
00:37:56Thanks.
00:37:57Feel as if I might bump into his ghost at any moment.
00:38:10Ghost?
00:38:11I should say he's very much alive.
00:38:13Do you think so?
00:38:15Somehow I smell death in this room.
00:38:18My grandmother was Irish, you know.
00:38:21Oh, that's nice.
00:38:23Oh, well, they may be wrong.
00:38:26Crenshaw was always a chap for looking after number one.
00:38:31I often used to tell him when we were at Cambridge.
00:38:34Where?
00:38:35Cambridge.
00:38:36We were at the same college, you know.
00:38:38Then Dr. Crenshaw must have been the most remarkable student.
00:38:41I happened to know he was at Oxford.
00:38:44Oxford?
00:38:45He can't have been.
00:38:47You were never at college with him.
00:38:49Why are you lying about it?
00:38:51Look here.
00:38:52Ever since you came here, you've done nothing but pump me and the rest of us.
00:38:55Just what are you up to?
00:39:06I laid that trap for you deliberately, because I wanted your reaction.
00:39:10I know Crenshaw was at Oxford.
00:39:13Oh, very good.
00:39:14That's an easy way out.
00:39:16But I also happen to know that he took a degree in Germany.
00:39:20A degree in engineering.
00:39:22A fact which he was very careful to conceal.
00:39:29Andrews, I'm here to find out what happened to Crenshaw and that precious rocket of yours.
00:39:35And I want help.
00:39:38I don't.
00:39:39I don't understand.
00:39:40It's all so confusing.
00:39:42Yes, it always is.
00:39:44Life isn't laid out in neat patterns.
00:39:48Every now and then, you come across pieces that fit together.
00:39:52It's your duty to try and help me find those pieces.
00:39:55If there's anything you know.
00:40:01Yes.
00:40:04It's a funny thing.
00:40:06It was the night of the party.
00:40:08I'd gone back to the laboratory to do some extra work on a new fuel formula.
00:40:12Yes.
00:40:13And there was Philip.
00:40:15He said he'd forgotten the keys of his bungalow, but he hadn't.
00:40:18It was a lie.
00:40:22Was it not?
00:40:31You asked me to come here, Smith.
00:40:33You've got something on your mind.
00:40:35What's happened?
00:40:38Hmm?
00:40:42Oh, yes.
00:40:44Yes.
00:40:45Dr. Mitchell, you were the last person to enter the rocket before the takeoff, weren't you?
00:40:53I believe so.
00:40:55Can't you be a little more exact?
00:40:57After all, you are a scientist.
00:41:00Well, three hours before the takeoff, around nine o'clock, I made my final checkup of the radar installations in the fuel tanks.
00:41:10Alone?
00:41:11Yes, quite alone.
00:41:13The mechanics were busy with the platform and the exhaust pit.
00:41:18You secured the airlock, and the rocket was then ready for the takeoff.
00:41:23Hmm?
00:41:25That's right.
00:41:31Dr. Mitchell, did anyone else have access to the inside of the rocket after you left?
00:41:34Well, the airlock could have been opened, yes, but it's a rather lengthy and cumbersome operation.
00:41:43Yes.
00:41:48Yes, I see.
00:41:49This is a complete diagram of the rocket, isn't it?
00:42:03Yes.
00:42:05And these are the fuel tanks?
00:42:08That's right.
00:42:09Good.
00:42:10Now, we've established that the loss of two or possibly three tons of fuel from the nose section would prevent the rocket from reaching its planned height, correct?
00:42:20But there was no such loss.
00:42:22I told you that I checked the fuel tanks myself.
00:42:25There was absolutely no possibility for any leakage.
00:42:27No... accidental possibility.
00:42:32Smith, you've got a little man running around loose inside your brain just dying to get out and say something.
00:42:40Why don't you let him say it?
00:42:42Thank you, Dr. Mitchell.
00:42:44Please believe me, that little man is only doing his duty.
00:42:50Well, let's hear him.
00:42:52He's suggesting that you open the valves and let two or three tons of fuel escape through the pump line.
00:43:02The original container was still in the exhaust pit.
00:43:07And you had actually more fuel on the launching site than was necessary for the complete supply.
00:43:14And does your little man say why I went through all this trouble?
00:43:20Well, he's got a theory.
00:43:23A very nasty theory.
00:43:27Murder.
00:43:39He's a cute little fellow, isn't he?
00:43:42Very cute.
00:43:45And shrewd, too.
00:43:49He's suggesting that you trapped your wife and Dr. Crenshaw together, killed them and hid the bodies in your house.
00:43:55Then when dusk fell, you took them to the launching site.
00:43:59One of the trolleys was seen at the back of your house.
00:44:02You had more than an hour alone at the launching site.
00:44:05You drained the fuel tanks, stuffed the bodies inside, and...
00:44:18And now, they're up there in space, circling the Earth.
00:44:29They'll stay there for decades, if the calculations are correct.
00:44:33Correct.
00:44:37Your calculations, Mitchell.
00:44:39The perfect murder.
00:44:41With no inconvenient bodies lying about.
00:44:44It's late, Smith.
00:44:45You've had a busy day.
00:44:58Going around accusing other people of murder must be pretty tiring.
00:45:01You need some sleep.
00:45:02This won't take long.
00:45:03Something I want to tell you.
00:45:04Something that may even make you change your mind about not talking.
00:45:08It's about Crenshaw.
00:45:11Did you ever know that, in addition to his qualifications as a biologist...
00:45:15he also did not care about being alone?
00:45:18Well, no, I'm sure I had no idea what it is.
00:45:20Over here.
00:45:21I'm sure I had no idea what it's going on to find out of the object.
00:45:23I'm sure he was working on him on this job.
00:45:27Not I'm sure he didn't answer that.
00:45:30Here's the fact that there's an education.
00:45:33I mean...
00:45:34Did you ever know that, in addition to his qualifications as a biologist,
00:45:38he also had a degree in engineering?
00:45:44So?
00:45:46He's a traitor, Mitchell. A traitor and a spy.
00:45:52He was paid to steal your secrets.
00:45:57Why did you wait until now to tell me this?
00:46:00I hoped you might tell me first.
00:46:03And I thought your wife might have been his confederate.
00:46:08If they're both alive, I'll find them.
00:46:12But if they're dead, and you killed them, you must tell me.
00:46:18We've got to know what happened to Crenshaw.
00:46:22You're for military intelligence.
00:46:26You find him.
00:46:31Good.
00:46:39Good.
00:46:45Good.
00:46:51Good.
00:46:54I think I found it found what the cause of the rocket's failure I
00:47:24think if we... Steve...
00:47:34Lisa...
00:47:37Haven't you heard about me?
00:47:39I haven't heard anything.
00:47:41You haven't heard that I'm a murderer?
00:47:44No.
00:47:46Smith has developed a very pretty theory that I killed Vanessa and Philip.
00:47:50That I drained some fuel out of the rocket, then pushed their bodies into it.
00:47:54And now they're up there, circling the earth.
00:47:56But... but why?
00:47:59Well, they've got a lot of circumstantial evidence.
00:48:03If I were in their places, I suppose I might even believe it myself.
00:48:07But they can't believe that.
00:48:09Look, Lisa...
00:48:11Kepler knows me as well as anybody.
00:48:13He's not even sure I didn't do it.
00:48:15He must have been just brow-bitten by that awful man, Smith.
00:48:19However he's done it, he's done it.
00:48:22But... what's going to happen?
00:48:25What are they going to do?
00:48:27Well...
00:48:28Apparently I'm too important to the whole project to be dispensed with immediately.
00:48:32When they've completely picked my brains, I suppose I'll be tried for murder.
00:48:35They can't do that. They can't.
00:48:38Oh, yes, they can.
00:48:40It's like sentencing a man to hang in five years' time, isn't it?
00:48:45Death deferred.
00:48:54Steve...
00:48:55I think I've got the answer.
00:48:58You must listen to my theory.
00:49:05Now, look.
00:49:07You remember that we were worried about the fuel supply for the 50-second boost?
00:49:12Yes, but we solved that with the superplastic that replaced the aluminum alloy.
00:49:16Yes, but we forgot one thing.
00:49:18The evaporation quotient of hydrogen.
00:49:20Yes, but the tests showed that they...
00:49:22No, the tests were made under simulated space conditions.
00:49:25But suppose...
00:49:27Just suppose that we underestimated friction at that speed and that altitude.
00:49:32Now, suppose the fuel pump didn't break.
00:49:36But was choked.
00:49:39The supply of the propellant would be sufficient to cause the rocket's failure.
00:49:44You see...
00:49:45It's a distinct possibility.
00:49:49And if...
00:49:50And if...
00:49:51And if you...
00:49:52And if you...
00:49:53What is it?
00:49:54What is it, darling?
00:49:55We mustn't forget that they think I killed Finesse and Crenshaw.
00:49:59I can't have you brought into this.
00:50:00I didn't care.
00:50:01I love you so much.
00:50:02And I can't have you brought into this.
00:50:04What is it, darling?
00:50:06We mustn't forget that they think I killed Vanessa and Grenshaw.
00:50:10I can't have you brought into this.
00:50:14I don't care.
00:50:16Oh, I love you so much.
00:50:18Don't you see?
00:50:20We can't have you brought into this.
00:50:22I don't care.
00:50:24I love you so much.
00:50:26Don't you see?
00:50:28We can't have you brought into this.
00:50:30I don't care.
00:50:32Don't you see?
00:50:34We can work it out together.
00:50:36Prove them wrong.
00:50:38You and Ivan.
00:50:40Yeah.
00:50:42Maybe we can.
00:50:44And I think Lisa's theory is completely feasible.
00:50:48And it's the only one we have that fits all the known facts.
00:50:52It would be the answer to a lot of things.
00:50:54Would it explain the disappearance of Grenshaw and Dr. Mitchell's wife?
00:51:00There was no way for them to get out of Deanfield.
00:51:06You want conclusive proof, is that it, Smith?
00:51:08Well, I've thought of a way to silence even your inquiring little mind.
00:51:12A simple way.
00:51:14Bring back the first rocket with a second rocket.
00:51:18Only somebody's in that second rocket.
00:51:20Me.
00:51:22Stephen, you're mad.
00:51:24I can't get to talk this way, Stephen.
00:51:26We're not ready to think about things like this yet.
00:51:28Our spacesuits are still experimental.
00:51:30We don't know the effect of pressure and acceleration on the human body organism.
00:51:34We've set up fruit flies, guinea pigs, mice and monkeys.
00:51:38We know enough to take a calculated risk.
00:51:40But not enough to involve a human life.
00:51:42Well, it's my life.
00:51:43And not a very good one unless I can prove the bodies are not in that rocket.
00:51:46Your life happens to be my responsibility.
00:51:48I value it more than your attempt to prove a point.
00:51:54Professor Kepler.
00:51:56Ever since I've come to Deanfield, I've had one idea in mind.
00:52:00And that's to design the first rocket ship to carry a human being.
00:52:04With what we know now, I'm confident that I can do it.
00:52:07Yes, I am trying to prove a point.
00:52:09But not the one that you're thinking of.
00:52:11That's only incidental to the main point, the conquest of space.
00:52:14No one knows better than you the progress we've made toward that end.
00:52:17And no one knows better than you.
00:52:19But until a human being, a trained human being, makes the first rocket flight,
00:52:24we're to stand still as far as future development is concerned.
00:52:27Now, who better to go than an accused murderer who is also a scientist?
00:52:35Dr. Mitchell, I shall recommend that permission be granted.
00:53:05There we go.
00:53:06We'll go.
00:53:07Upbeat
00:53:08Ed.
00:53:09Ed.
00:53:10Let's go.
00:53:40Lisa.
00:53:43I had a feeling you would be here, Steve.
00:53:46Darling.
00:53:48Well, this time tomorrow I'll be up there somewhere.
00:53:54Oh, Steve.
00:53:56I'm so frightened.
00:54:04You know I'll come back.
00:54:06You must know it.
00:54:08I don't know anything.
00:54:10Except that I love you.
00:54:12And I love you.
00:54:14First, darling, I was frightened, too, thinking about it.
00:54:17It has to be done.
00:54:19For your sake and mine.
00:54:21And if anything should happen.
00:54:24It won't.
00:54:25It won't.
00:54:27But I don't want to talk or think about death.
00:54:31Not on a night like this.
00:54:33A little more than 24 hours to go.
00:54:55Well, I think we can safely say that the security arrangements are foolproof, can't we, Colonel?
00:55:02They were always foolproof.
00:55:06And yet, two people have disappeared.
00:55:09Either into space or into the outside world.
00:55:13I thought you'd definitely excluded the second possibility.
00:55:18Yes, I thought I had.
00:55:19But there's a nagging little voice that keeps on saying, what if you were wrong?
00:55:29What if you were wrong?
00:55:30I knew, of course, that Mrs. Mitchell wasn't happy here.
00:55:35She told my wife that she hated the place.
00:55:39Still, whatever happened, I know it wasn't because my men fell down on the job.
00:55:43Why, except for one man, I've had the same security personnel for three years.
00:55:46Well, that's as it should be.
00:55:50What did you say?
00:55:51I said, except for one man, I've had the same security personnel.
00:55:55One man?
00:55:56Why didn't you tell me before?
00:55:57Who was that one man?
00:55:59Corporal Rogers.
00:56:00Where's he gone?
00:56:01Well, his enlistment was up and he went home.
00:56:04What's all the excitement about?
00:56:09Hurry up, Colonel.
00:56:09I want his address.
00:56:10Right, I'm looking for him.
00:56:12Give it to me after.
00:56:13Corporal Rogers?
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:21I want to talk to you.
00:56:41Come in.
00:56:46It's about Steve.
00:56:48Toby, he can't make the trip alone.
00:56:51I want you to volunteer to go with him.
00:56:57Toby, I'm only asking you to volunteer.
00:57:02I didn't ask you to go with him.
00:57:17Toby, please.
00:57:18Lisa, you can't ask me to do this.
00:57:22No matter how much you love Steve, you mustn't go with him.
00:57:25But I've got to, Toby.
00:57:27I've got to.
00:57:28Where's the number, Jenny Ford?
00:57:43Down there.
00:57:44i'd like to speak to mr rogers please oh i'm afraid that's impossible sir see my husband was
00:58:05killed a week ago killed in an accident he was in a car with a friend they skidded dave was
00:58:12thrown from the car i'm terribly sorry mrs rogers this friend could you give me his name or address
00:58:20his name well i know dave called him phil he was on the same station as dave but i only saw him the
00:58:26once the day he called for my husband would you recognize him yes that's him all right he didn't
00:58:32have a lady with him by any chance did he no all i know is dave had some sort of a business deal with
00:58:37him something to do with a boat what sort of boat do you know well i did hear this phil mentioned
00:58:42something about wittingly and a trawler what's all this got to do with dave i can't stay to explain
00:58:49now mrs rogers i'm in a great hurry but you'll be most hopeful thank you
00:58:52cozy little place latest thing in spacewagons
00:59:11steve how are you gonna do it do what bring back the other rocket
00:59:21well what i have to do is synchronize my speed with the as-1 move alongside secure it with the
00:59:34magnetic grapples and then i can bring it back using the extra parachutes for a double landing
00:59:39sounds anything but easy to me still if you say it can be done let's say that uh according to the
00:59:46best scientific calculations it's entirely possible how'd you feel you really want to know
00:59:54no i guess i feel the same way still i might as well get used to it
01:00:00what are you talking about look steve i don't know why you're really doing this and i don't care
01:00:08but scientifically i'm just as much involved in this experiment as you are after all two of us
01:00:15would stand a better chance of staying alive and coming back that way
01:00:20you're crazy now fine then it's all settled
01:00:25what yes i want the whole district sealed off 12 search partners at least now this is top priority
01:00:41where sea view cottage are you sure no i'll go myself send a couple of squad cars to follow me
01:00:51well they seem to have located them some cottage on the cliffs about half an hour outside wittingly
01:00:56will you lead the way i will
01:00:57only six hours to go have you checked everything steve we'll give it a final check up in a few moments
01:01:11just thought i'd say goodbye now well good luck and my best wishes for the success of your

01:07:00Come on.
01:07:30Are you ready, Steve?
01:07:35Thirty seconds to go, Professor.
01:07:39The first few minutes after takeoff are the critical period.
01:07:44We still don't know how the human body will react to the tremendous acceleration.
01:07:49We've done everything in our power to protect Mitchell and Andrews, but...
01:07:58Activate takeoff boost.
01:08:00One to five jets active.
01:08:10Six to ten jets active.
01:08:13All takeoff jets in action.
01:08:16All takeoff jets in action.
01:08:29Fifteen seconds to go.
01:08:30There you go.
01:08:35Toby, what's happened?
01:08:40Five, four, three, two, one.
01:08:44One.
01:08:59Takeoff as scheduled.
01:09:00But why is he alone?
01:09:01He's not alone, sir.
01:09:02Excuse me, sir.
01:09:03I couldn't help it, Professor.
01:09:15We must stop them.
01:09:16We must bring the rocket back.
01:09:17Lisa, she isn't here in Toby's place.
01:09:18She's up there.
01:09:19General pilot affected.
01:09:20Climbing at 87 degrees.
01:09:24Speed, 184.
01:09:26Altitude, 25 miles.
01:09:27Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:28Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:29Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:30This is Mitchell calling.
01:09:32This is Mitchell calling.
01:09:33Come in, Deanfield.
01:09:34Come in, Deanfield.
01:09:35Come in, Deanfield.
01:09:36Hello, Mitchell.
01:09:37Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:38This is Deanfield.
01:09:39This is Deanfield.
01:09:40Takeoff entirely successful.
01:09:41No trouble with fuel supply or pressure chamber.
01:09:45Toby blacked out, but coming too now.
01:09:46We are both strapped in.
01:09:48This is all about 250 miles.
01:09:49A day long, 25 miles.
01:09:5125 miles.
01:09:52Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:54There, I'm going to meet you.
01:09:57Hello, Deanfield.
01:09:58I'm going to meet you.
01:10:00Hi.
01:10:01You're gonna meet you with everybody.
01:10:02I'm going to meet you with you.
01:10:03And the other phone calls.
01:10:04We're gonna have to meet you.
01:10:05I have to meet you, sir.
01:10:07You're going to meet you.
01:10:08You're going to meet me.
01:10:09We're both strapped in and must stay this way until first section disconnects.
01:10:13Nothing we can do now. Not until the third section's on its own.
01:10:39Tail section disconnected. Altitude 206 miles. Acceleration 8G.
01:10:55It's getting hot.
01:10:59Switching on air conditioning now. No sense of speed. No feeling of any kind. Pressure up to normal. Removing helmets now.
01:11:29Police.
01:11:49Altitude 530 miles. Speed 4200 miles per hour. Engines cut off.
01:11:55Engines cut off. Where is Mrs. Mitchell? Where is she?
01:11:59She's dead.
01:12:02You made your choice, Steve. I made mine.
01:12:07Who is it?
01:12:10But how did you find them? How did they get out of Deanfield?
01:12:23You gave me the clue, Colonel. I did. I blame myself for my own stupidity.
01:12:28Crenshaw had something very valuable to sell. And he wanted to find the right customer.
01:12:32Mrs. Mitchell was as much taken in by him as we were.
01:12:36And now she's dead.
01:12:38You sent them up there.
01:12:42Then, Lisa's with him. To prove that you're wrong.
01:12:46AS-2 calling Deanfield. AS-2 calling Deanfield and standing by. Come in Deanfield. Come in Deanfield.
01:12:56Steve, listen. I know about Lisa.
01:13:00You must return. We'll pinpoint you with radar and pick you up wherever you land.
01:13:05You must return. Smith has found them. I promise you everything will be all right.
01:13:11Right.
01:13:18Our speed now 5,000.
01:13:20Must disconnect center section.
01:13:37It's out of control. Right after the middle section disconnected.
01:13:40Hello. AS-2. AS-2.
01:13:45Hello, Stephen. Can you hear me?
01:13:47Deanfield calling AS-2. Deanfield calling AS-2. Can you hear me?
01:13:56Steve, answer me. Lisa, what's happened?
01:14:03Deanfield calling AS-2. Deanfield calling AS-2. Can you hear me?
01:14:10Steve, what's happened?
01:14:13The shock of the disconnection. It was too much.
01:14:19Answer me. Answer me. Answer me.
01:14:21We're out of control.
01:14:23We're about to try on the emergency.
01:14:42It's jammed.
01:14:44Steve, you are.
01:14:45No. You must try to contact Deanfield immediately.
01:14:55Deanfield, can you hear me? Can you hear me?
01:15:00Listen, Professor. There is no way back.
01:15:04Steve, please.
01:15:05Lisa.
01:15:06Listen. Listen carefully.
01:15:09You must replace the final section lining with stronger absorber.
01:15:14Rocket principle all right.
01:15:17Only need strengthening.
01:15:20Someone else must follow us.
01:15:23So that all this won't have been in vain.
01:15:26Lisa.
01:15:27It's free.
01:15:28We're turning back.
01:15:34Did you hear that, Professor?
01:15:35It's all right.
01:15:37We're turning back.
01:15:39We're turning back.
01:15:41We're turning back.
01:15:43We're turning back.
01:15:47We're turning back.
01:15:48We're turning back.
01:16:18We're turning back.
01:16:20We're turning back.
