can you very carefully put
that tape back on those reels?

1:31:05
Well, I'll try.
1:31:10
Is it all right if I don't
finish the crackers?

1:31:13
It has been confirmed
the Eclipse is in trouble.

1:31:18
The difficulty lies in the programming
computer, which is similar to a tape recorder.

1:31:22
This tape carries the impulses which tell
the Eclipse what to do and when to do it.

1:31:27
In other words, the mechanical
brain of the capsule.

1:31:30
Without it, astro-janitor Roy Fleming
may be doomed to stay forever in orbit.

1:31:40
How are you doing, Roy? Got that tape
back on the reels? I'm workin' on it.

1:31:45
If anything happens to that
boy, I'll never forgive myself.

1:31:48
This emergency is being handled
with great courage by Fleming.

1:31:51
This young man,
never before in space...

1:31:54
is calmly rewinding the computer
tape by hand. Buck Fleming's boy.

1:31:58
No.
1:32:00
Roy Fleming.
1:32:05
How you doing, Roy?
1:32:07
Don't worry about it, Fred.
I got it all back on. It's fine.

1:32:15
Roy, we still have a red
on the computer here.

1:32:18
Well, I do have some crackers and peanut
butter mixed in with it. Is that important?

1:32:26
Hello?
1:32:28
Roy?
Standing by.

1:32:30
Without that, you won't be
coming down again.

1:32:35
You're kidding.
1:32:37
Pulse rate, blood pressure
and respiratory: emergency readings!

1:32:41
We should've used a monkey
or a dog or something.

1:32:44
Roy.
1:32:46
What? You should be over our
tracking station on Canton Island.

1:32:51
Look out the window. Oh, no, I'm
not gonna look out the window!

1:32:55
Look out the window.
That's an order!

1:32:58
Well... all right.
