1
00:00:05,828 --> 00:00:09,032
The vivid imaginations of H. G. Wells and Buck Rogers
2
00:00:09,032 --> 00:00:11,818
never cooked up a more fantastic experience than the
3
00:00:11,818 --> 00:00:15,069
army engineers at their laboratory in Belmar, New Jersey.
4
00:00:15,069 --> 00:00:18,692
Banks of instrument panels control a radar installation
5
00:00:18,692 --> 00:00:23,034
that gives man his first actual contact with the Moon.
6
00:00:23,034 --> 00:00:28,003
An amazing round trip of over 477,000 miles!
7
00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:33,041
Ready to shoot the moon!
8
00:00:33,041 --> 00:00:35,689
The radar antenna is pointed directly at <i>Luna</i>
9
00:00:35,689 --> 00:00:37,987
and the thrill of a lifetime is in the making.
10
00:00:50,155 --> 00:00:52,662
Three two-and-a-half-second trips up and back.
11
00:00:52,662 --> 00:00:54,961
If you're ready for another trip to the Moon, let's go!
12
00:01:02,740 --> 00:01:06,594
That was a 180-cycle note, just about like your home radio.
13
00:01:06,594 --> 00:01:10,542
It opens up unlimited possibilities for interstellar experiment,
14
00:01:10,542 --> 00:01:14,234
according to Colonel DeWitt who supervised the project.
15
00:01:15,580 --> 00:01:18,715
<i>DeWitt:</i> Calculations showed that radar equipment could be
16
00:01:18,715 --> 00:01:22,430
put together which would reach the Moon and return.
17
00:01:24,241 --> 00:01:26,563
If one allows the imagination free reign,
18
00:01:26,563 --> 00:01:30,279
many future possibilities appear:
19
00:01:32,368 --> 00:01:37,523
Spaceships, carrying passengers at thousands of miles per hour,
20
00:01:37,523 --> 00:01:42,469
can be controlled and communication established with their passengers,
21
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:46,811
for we now know that the Earth's atmosphere can be penetrated.
