all of it in the beginning and see what you think can be the judge everything's lost everything but the will to get there to explore things and so it was only six months later that the second attempt  everything went smoothly the first part of the voyage they traveled over halfway seventeen million miles without missing radio contact with maintained martian hitters control and they stopped on schedule at the united states space station because we were the command crew and if anything went wrong we were set to follow there were three of us commander william billy lockhart astronaut and twelve has and me ungrateful no i remember how worried we were as we listened to their voices who so many miles away starts calling our shepherds calling the us were drifting you better go first and i'll come along after you within two hours we were ready to go but before i could come to any conclusions about it we were preparing for our touchdown on venus or maybe i'd find all the answers and then almost before i knew it we were there we were land don't begin celebrating yet beings it's finished transferred to playback meanwhile you might check up on the atmosphere hogs had better be good and you better get your space to move out rape i want you to attempt a contact with sherman by radio if you raise them tell him to report their position then get yourself into a space suit we're going to walk about are we right behind you that will be handy if i slip  that's rest very little oxygen up there on the way looking for us through this hea or a monster well i can't imagine any people in their right mind exploring planet venus come on on we're here and we're in our right mind aren't we let's go under the sea we were to find the second  something seemed to draw me away to make me search for i didn't know  what something i don't know i felt as though i were being watched but i didn't see anything except a sock to pose yet still feeling a strange presence i but then as quickly as it came that weird sensation vanished and then there was nothing but the sea following my original impulse looking for a clue like the it they built a city that is now under the sea must be true many made it to shore from the sea then why didn't they build themselves another we may find they did when we explored the planet before we leave our meter old maybe she's helping  it looks like we have to be starting back very soon what else is there to do worried about him so you really found proof there were people on this planet hard to believe we're here you to have some coffee and rest of us if only there was some way to communicate with them some way to make them understand we were not an enemy that we wanted nothing except to know their ways study the civilization was it really all just fancy just my wishful imagination and has found only an accident caused by the wind in the canyon i think we did a job we can be proud of look at all the samples we got there's going to be a large headline when they see all these great things we're bringing back to this one's lone old man steady child because of current insurance i know we all felt slightly on the nervousness as we listened to the heavy rainfall in the ship or myself on my listening with the sinking feeling as though every drop were taking
