Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
as you know, the first attempt to send a spaceship to the planet Mars
was made 6 months ago.
We knew that that ship,
the Challenge 141, had reached its destination.
But that's all we knew.
Teleradio communication with Mars ceased immediately.
And we were forced to assume
that the ship and crew had been lost.
The man in charge of this expedition
was a man who had become known to the world
as the first man to be shot into space.
The man who pioneered interplanetary space travel.
Col. Edward Carruthers.
2 months ago, we sent a second ship to Mars
to learn the fate of Col. Carruthers and his crew.
The president has asked me to pass on to you
this significant news.
Col. Edward Carruthers has been found alive on Mars.
But there is a tragic side to this history-making event.
Col. Carruthers was the sole survivor
of this first expedition.
1 hour ago, we received a teleradio communication
from Col. Van Heusen,
commander of the second spaceship.
This ship is now ready to take off
for its return trip to the Earth from Mars.
And Col. Carruthers is being brought back
for a court-martial
to face trial for the murders of the rest of the crew.
