:05:00
We were all briefed by control
before we left...
:05:03
but let's go over it once more.
:05:05
- Don, will you please read them?
- Yes, sir.
:05:14
We are to follow the route of
the other Explorer ships past Mars...
:05:17
Jupiter, and Saturn,
then on pre-set automatic to Uranus.
:05:21
We are to circle the planet, survey,
and report before landing.
:05:25
Some sort of radiation signal
has been traced to this planet.
:05:28
And we are to investigate.
But there's no real expectation of life.
:05:33
Sure, there's a sweet chance of that
at 200 degrees below zero.
:05:37
Our mission is to land,
search the planet carefully...
:05:40
check for the source of radiation signals
and for any sign of life, past or present.
:05:45
We're allowed only 10 days,
or we lose our trajectory.
:05:49
Is that understood? 10 days is all we have.
:05:53
Any questions?
:05:55
Excuse me, sir...
:05:57
this is my first flight, and...
:06:00
I understand.
We all got the jitters the first time out.
:06:03
Take it easy. You'll be okay.
:06:05
Why don't we open the ports and let
the boy get his first look at Miss Universe?
:06:09
You know, there's nothing
like that first look.
:06:22
Well, there she is, Karl. The universe.
:06:55
Approaching Uranus.
:06:56
Getting ready to go into orbit.
:06:58
Acknowledged mark, your approach
is chartered. Start signal from 00:05.
