• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A team of rocket pioneers at Drywell, Texas, races to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: send the first crude expedition to the Moon before government
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: action can halt the project. On June twenty fourth, nineteen fifty,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: NBC aired episode twelve of Dimension X Destination Moon, adapted
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: from the nineteen fifty George Powell film and Robert A.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Heinlein's final shooting script. Heinlein wrote this radio adaptation directed
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: by Edward King, with Ralph Bell, Santo s Ortega, Wendell Holmes,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Joe DeSantis, and Norman Rose. Heard in the broadcast, the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: schedule is tight, the launch window narrow, and personnel trouble
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: arrives at the last moment. We now take you back
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to the original broadcast.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Adventures in Time and Space told in Futures. Head Man
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: has always dreamed of conquering the.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Barrier of the accuracy.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: The problem is on the drawing boards of aeronautical engineers
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and atomic physicists. They can calculate the power needed, the trajectories,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and the equipment. On the sound stages of Hollywood, the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: engineers and special effects men.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Have combined to bring that day to lights.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: The day when the first rocket leaves Earth for outer
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: space now. A radio play taken from the advanced screenplay
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of the George Pale Technicolor production Destination Moon.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: On the vast concrete.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Strip at dry Wells, Texas. The form of the rocket
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: powers above the cranes, the loading machinery, and the scuttling
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: trucks and jeeps. The pure lines snake across the concrete
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: of the walk. It's Destination Moon. A small situit plane
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: circles in for a landing on the runway, turns and
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: taking towards the pre bout building to the edge of
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the slip.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They's got a general, fair, got those reports that the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: cloud raves already Vaughn.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Then we made good time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Hi there, General, over here, aren't I've got to talk
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: They just made it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: General, everything's running smooth as a clock. We ground pissed
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in twenty minutes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Come on over to the office. What's the manic tie.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Something happened in Washington.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Something always happened in Washington. Let's have it straight, General,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: our application for a test license was denied tonight, I'll
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: quote in the opinion of the commission.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So the engine failed structurally. The dispersal of.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Radioactive material would mean danger to the surrounding area. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: we've evacuated the blast. No use bond mention is pretty
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: sensitive about public opinion. The Catavan newspaper chain has been
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: after our scout. They got mine anyway, What do you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: mean I've been retired there, I got.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: A job for next general. Pretty handy with a luck wrench.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: They can't do that. Where would the Air Force be
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: if you hadn't taken.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Them into using the despot tet engine on pursuits. It's
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: not as simple as all that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Once generals can't went to the Department of Defense and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: palm desks. Some of those old mossbacks should still be
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: using horse cavalry if they could.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Get away with it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Now, this ship will work. I know I built it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I don't suppose we'll love it. No commission moons reverse
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's wait a minute, cargraves ships already, isn't it except
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for minor installations.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, General, I've.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Been building in flying ships by the seat of my
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: pants since they had piano wire between the wings. Now
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this baby either works the first time or she doesn't.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: What do you mean by the commission refused permission to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: ground test? Right? Yeah, all right, we won't ground test cargraves.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: What's the next astronomical optimum?
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Three forty seven tomorrow morning.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We better get busy.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Then you've just seventeen hours to get that ship ready
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and then we take off.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: For the moon.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, ran, what do you want meeny? What colors
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the skin temperature?
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Lead wire on the chart?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Lunge with a black stripe and stuff looks like insulated macaronie.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I gotta hurry up where you were running behind?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: What's you in a rush? You're going along on us?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Climb back, aren't you? Can't you wake the break in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there and look out for the start? Come on, move,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We got to take off before somebody fat.

  Speaker 4: Gone? Sure?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Bates me?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: What do you want to go to the moon for?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: To see what's on the other side? Ask a stupid question,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you get a stupid answer. What's the separation?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Positively?
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Red and white?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Spira?

  Speaker 6: No, I'm all right.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: Come on when you get busy.

• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Ron? They just took him to the hospital. They what
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: well is he all right, they will.

  Speaker 1: They cut out as appendix.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: It goes on radio man, there's.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: No chance of finding a substitute.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: No, it's special equipment.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Brown installed it himself.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I've got to barns here.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: What we'll have to delay?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Take couple month, Okay, goodbye, we can't general. It was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Hastings and dry Wells. There's a United States marshall driving
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: over something leaked and he's got a quart order forbidding
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the takeoff.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: We were so close. Million dollars got up the flu.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Give a snap bar, mister Bond, and I suppose wait
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a minute, Sweeney. Yeah, you installed that communication equipment with Brown,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: didn't you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then you must know the operation. Good go in
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Brown's place them on. Uh ah, oh no, not me.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: It's an important project, Sweeney, the scientific advance.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: There is the military aspect, tweeny.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I had four years of the military aspect. General, that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not afraid. You're not sold that ship is safe. Maybe
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: maybe not, but sweet look, you guys aren't going to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: get anywhere pressuring me. Maybe you got raisers to God
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of the morn you, mister Bonde. You got a million
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Dallas tied up in the ship, your scientific baby, taking
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the General's out in the limit in Washington. What's in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it for me?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And that's no way to talk, Sweeney.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It's an important event for the whole world. Your pardon
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the expression, baloney, Sweeney, I work on a scientific theory
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: too general or right for me. You look out for yourself, right,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: go on. I don't like to say this, but this
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: isn't the time to consider yourself, Sweeney. This country's defense
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: thanks on being the first to develop space travel. Somebody else,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not me. There's nothing I want in the moon.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: All right, take care of that, Sweeney.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'll offer you ten thousand dollars bonus and a ten
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: percent royalty on the ship. Pappens out of my cut, Parne.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's no use to me unless we get off before
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that Marshall gets here from dry Whales. Now, Sweeney, you'd
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be rich enough to retire. You could take it easy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life. All I had talk of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: my aligne with mister Bonnes. Okay, why don't we leave.

• 8:07
  Speaker 8: I suppose you tell him all about it when he
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: gets back from the moon.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We need warm up, a communications percussion, nonic traffic check.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Got a Clarence chick.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: There was a Clarence traffic of a off player ready
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: for tracking over already communications Yeah, pro pilots, automatics ready,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: give the warning signal.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Give me a time check on a computer.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Oh three forty seven fifty a stand buy for.

  Speaker 9: firing a check so forty eight ten check coming up
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: thirty seconds twenty nine twenty eight lie back on the
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: acceleration that octor Worth pressures will be over in four minutes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: General haw, I don't like having a man along who
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: isn't where the sween is too late, now make it

• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you are.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Asked, I can't, I can't.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Mold pressure switches right under your finger at time three
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: fifty twelve out, dude, two miles. Get your sun goggles
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: It'll be coming through in a minute.

• 10:44
  Speaker 1: get down in the sailing. I feel lousy, sea sticks
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on space stick whatever.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: So I'm that healthy.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And there's a bottle of pills under the head pad.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: They autistut of the stomach. I'll break out the magnetic shoes.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Then we can at least keep our feet down on
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the floor. Play here, threeny, you can put these on hand.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Them up right here. Now you can walk down the wall.
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: Try it like this.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: Hey, it's like a human fly.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: This is the second time I haven't walked down the ceiling,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: only this time I'm sober. Hey, General, would you mind
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: tapping that hand sandwich back and floating.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Away from him?

• 12:01
  Speaker 1: wonder it's stuck.

  Speaker 6: It's exposed out of space.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It must be pros And so what's the idea?
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Sweeney?
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Int you read the engineering manual and.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The flesh wedding get sprayed, don't jure, Bobby. If we
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: can't get that radar mask cranked out, we can't land
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on the moon. It's all right, by may want you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: realize what half the value of this trip is in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the landing geological Salvey's radiation tech. John, I told you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: before I started. This whole thing is slut nutty to me.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Who wants the moon? The time to be fish? So
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the old Brooklyn battery. Connell Tweeny out. This isn't getting
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that mask fixed. We've got to go outside in space
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: suits and chip it loose. Outside you mean outside the ship.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: You can't fall.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: You'll be in the same trajectory as the ship. Worst
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: it could happen would be to drift away.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Drift away.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Don't, Bobby get one of a monkey suits from me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I'm comfortable in here when anyway've taken enough from you.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: We can't let one man in danger the whole project.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You get out there in a spacesuit, or we shove
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you out without one. All right, all right, that's settled.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You got us into this mess. You're going to help
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: get us out. General out the space suite, Rosy inner lock. Now,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: let's get this straight. Keep your magnetic shoes on the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: hull plates. Your safety line's hooked. If you break loose,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: we won't be able to go after you. You'll hit
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the moon at twenty thousand miles per hour and squash.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I wear a man.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: How come General sad On go?
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: That's right, he doesn't go.

• 14:01
  Speaker 1: We're there? A million stars, twenty thousand miles an hour,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: free fall and no pray.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: That's right, no air and we haven't got time for
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: the scenery. Let's get the work.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Can you two handle it?
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: I want to go after see how the firing tubes
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: have That's all right, God, come onth we let's get

  Speaker 1: Take why I got to do my shoe first, and yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: crazy you'll.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Flown away to give the pressure in the oxygen tank
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: for a jet. Maybe I can write the tank out
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: there if there's.
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: Enough power from the novel st the bell there, all
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: three class making.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: My helmet bike shape. I'll try again.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Hey, what I can about it? They're going, I think
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: swing them out all right?
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Get up a war shops there, reach out for me. Doctor,

  Speaker 7: You wave us.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: When I turn the mountain, nothing, there'd be.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Enough pressure to get back. Here we go. We're loving
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: the love. That's enough pressures almost down in this tank.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: There's the last of the guests. We're too far out
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: of parts.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: They can't reach us with a line.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: And get your back to the ship. From the count

  Speaker 6: to Cairo.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That was a lousy landing. I'm safe, yes, but I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: wasted reaction mass. Will need to get home to worry
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: about that later. Right now, I want to get out
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there and plant my feet on the moon.
• 18:27

  Speaker 4: These things. Check the figures.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: We've got the light and ship. We've got just four
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: hours to get off. If we miss that, we don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: get another chance to hit the Earth for another month.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: But we don't have more than ten days oxygen supply exactly.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Come on, we better start dumping, and we better pray
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we can get rid of enough weak acceleration pad for
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: sereal seven or six scheduled b fourteen pounds. Check. Give
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: me a hand jack, Yes, hair locks fall. I'll put
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: my helmet on and shot the junk out of the lock.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: BNS.

• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Short one hundred ten pounds.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: What if you can dump one hundred ten pounds, you
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: can go a call for work stripped. We unbolted the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: locker doors, jump the radar chassis in mounts. We'll have
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to take a chance as we are.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: It's still aside.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You're having enough reaction mass. You could be wrong, couldn't, Jim?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: I could, but not the computer.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I'll be standing five.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Us to buy it over all?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Right, one hundred and ten lousy pounds? What happens if
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: we're not right enough?
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: They fall back and crash or just go into an
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: orbit around the moon?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Just keep going around.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let's say we've got fourteen minutes left to take
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: off time.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Oh that's fine.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It could have gone over and I ever fall a bow.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But I had to come to the mall.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: And well it's pretty simple. One hundred and ten rounds
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: one of the things. Yes, I guess that's its highway
