When the Worlds Met

Cramscribed. Let us send our imaginations forward at the time into the years beyond 2000 AD. What strange adventures, what exciting things will we find in the world of tomorrow? 2000 plus.

Today, an adventure without a space, when the world's met. It is the year 2000 plus 20. At the giant space port in Washington, D.C., temporary capital of the Federated World Government, an enormous throng, tense with expectancy, jams every available inch of space surrounding the rocket landing field.

All eyes strain upward into the clear blue sky. For today is the day, April 21st, 2000 plus 20. And audio and telebox networks of the world are at the rocket field to cover the epic event.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the day, the day we've all been waiting for. In a matter of minutes now, out of that brilliant blue sky will come a ship, a spaceship, carrying in its gleaming hole the first load of uranium, taken from the pits of Luna's satellite of Earth.

Since the beginning of Tuck, at one moment folks, there's a signal from the tower, this may be it. Take it away Fred! This is Fred Haskins reporting from the control tower. Our escort planes have been in contact with the spaceship from Luna for the past 12 minutes.

They are now approaching the field from the northeast and any moment now we can expect. There she is! Let's go on and get rid of her magnative. How white heart from the friction of the atmosphere!

Her jet brakes, melting fire, she's right over the field now! She's coming down! Planet Terrier! Hey, Luna City, Johnny Dixon. Dixon, why have been you three minutes late?
