There's been no radio contact for seven months.
Something's gone badly wrong with Mars Probe 7.
Now we've got to find out who's sending that signal.
Someone is determined to steal the recovery capsule.
People behind this are trying to kidnap Liz Shaw.
I don't know what we brought down in Mars Probe 7, but it certainly wasn't human.
I understand you're going ahead with launching this rocket.
Yes, I absolutely forbid it.
You haven't the authority to forbid it, General.
What have you got against it?
Sir James Quinlan murdered, alien creatures attacking the space center, the sudden death
of Dr. Taltarian.
This is obviously just the beginning.
The beginning of what?
An alien invasion with the collaboration of a foreign power.
All the more reason for me to go up in that rocket and find out what's happened up there.
Are you a trained astronaut, sir?
He's perfectly capable of making the trip.
I have his medical report here.
You haven't answered my question, Doctor.
You haven't answered mine.
Why are you opposed to this launch?
Could this rocket carry a nuclear warhead?
Yes.
Then that's what it should be used for.
Since we don't know what's up there, wouldn't it be more intelligent to carry a man rather
than a bomb?
I might remind you, gentlemen, that I am responsible for space security.
And I'm responsible for this space center.
This launch was against the expressed wishes of Sir James Quinlan.
And I suggest that you take matter up with his successor when he's been appointed.
