- The space platform is a launching point for the next generation of interstellar explorers. As half of those embarking from it will die instantly, explorers do not jump into ships the first chance they get.
Aired 24th July 1956, on X Minus One - the science fiction radio series broadcast from 1955 to 1958 on NBC Radio
"They call me Charon and I need to speak to the manager"
Theodore Sturgeon is on of the very best!! f
These stories deserve so many more listens, I don't get it, they're so good!
I remember listen to Dimension X and X Minus One I loved these Radio Series.
Thank You so much for sharing, I have been so Blessed 😊🙏🙏
Same here 😯 Family sitting around the warm glow of the old radio, was great times. 👍👍👏🙏
Kharon and Tween are such appealing characters in this otherwise implausible story. They are what make this one of my favorite X Minus One episodes. Blasting just 2 people in random directions out into space is an obviously unworkable plan for colonization - a ridiculous waste of costly spaceships and people. I doubt that Sturgeon's original short story was so farfetched. The human drama make up for it by being believable and heartbreaking.
Science fiction is always good.
Thank you!
that also was a very good story good job.
Poor Flower, I hope she finds redemption, she was all right with me.
“...his name was Wald..Her name was Flower...”
Wald Flower
Wall Flower
Interesting observation. I wonder if the author had that in mind or if it's just a coincidence.
Cant hear it on any devices volume to low!
It's fine on Android and IBM compatible.
Volume is fine on my Moto android phone. Are you using the same headphones or speaker subsystem with all of your devices?
SPOILERS ALERT.
Charon is a despicable character. He had months to encourage Judd to talk to Tween or let Tween know about Judd's feelings for her, but Charon's own jealousy (and lust?) stopped him from intervening. Not to mention he murdered Wald in cold blood and covered it up, instead of letting the proper authorities deal with Wald.
Also, the story's premise is implausible. One-way spaceships designed to carry only two (untrained) people? Emigrants who didn't know until after they left Earth that they would need to have a mate in order to be certified? Spaceships so unsafe that only about half reach their destination? Spaceships so insecure that anyone could go aboard and launch?
How was the all-important certification requirement -- that only two lifemates would be allowed to depart -- forgotten at the end?
This i horrible
