Adventure in time and space transcribed in future Tense Demacron Can you predict what will come in 100 years? Or in 10? Or in the next minute? Some people think they can.
Nuclear science, mathematician, astronomers, biologists. They'll predict the shape of the future because they make the future Because they see beyond the known dimensions of time and space Into the unknown dimension X We go ahead now in time to 1965 we're on a vast concrete runway set in the desert of the Southwest a giant metal ship stands before us
Crow pointed for the stars and in five minutes the signal will flash and it will tear up through the atmosphere to be out early Five minutes to Why we're up, Charlie? I don't know. I want to go over to see here a gun, Steve.
How are you? I got it straight. You just make sure. Okay. I take her up on jets to 50,000 and I cut in the rocket. No lower or your tail blast will burn out three counties.
I climb four minutes on rockets then start my nova test. Remember that, no more than four minutes. Right. This ship isn't like those strut of rocket you've been testing. She's the first one built for outer space.
If she works, she can go clear to the moon. I don't know that. I brought my toothbrush. Oh, not this trip. Now get this, Steve. You've got power there to clear the Earth's gravitational field.
But remember, after you cut in the rockets, you've only got 10 minutes fuel. If you go beyond the outer limit and don't save fuel for the return... I know, I won't get down again. That's right, Steve. You'll drift off into space. Get that now.
