THE
FIRST MAN INTO SPACE: 1958
Dan
the test pilot ignores orders from mission control because they
are issued by his disapproving older brother, Chuck. |
|
While
high in orbit, Dan's fuel runs out as sparkly spacedust envelopes
his Bell X3 wannabe rocketplane. The nose of the plane pops loose
as an escape pod so they get around having to show an expensive
crash site where they find...No Dan! |
 |
 |
Who
is the bloodthirsty burnt casserole man that staggers about tapping
juglars before stealing transportation? Who left space sparklies
on the cow's neck and McDonell/Douglas products in the barn? |
|
Loudspeakered
into a decompression chamber, Dan's last breath tells Chuck the
horror of becoming the first man into space; but it's all okay,
because Chuck's made it clear he's taking really good care of
Dan's little French girlfriend. Part of the Marshall Thompson
collection. |
