A powerful transmitter was established on the moon, and a recorded request was broadcast continuously beginning on September 1, 1982. President Benson and more than 200 other world leaders and dignitaries waited at the foot of the saucer's extruded ramp while Klaatu emerged, looking scarcely older than he had in 1951. The alien strode down the ramp and took Benson's hand while a Gort surveyed the scene impassively. 1999 sees human and alien saucers plying the spaceways between stars. While Klaatu's people are humanoid, others are exotically alien in form and outlook.
Humans live and learn and trade under a hundred different suns.
Gorts patrol as they have for millenia, remorselessly enforcing peace throughout the known galaxy. Last revised on November 14, 1999. Some dates changed to those in the Timeline . 1997,1998,1999 by James H. Gerard . All rights reserved.
