|
Ladies and Gentlemen, we've had a successful
|
take-off on this first night flight to Venus.
|
Our flying time will be eight hours. We'll be travelling
|
at a speed of 2183 miles per second.
|
That is, seven and one half million miles per hour.
|
The distance from Mother Earth to Venus is
|
Sixty million miles at this time.
|
|
To your left you can see the mountains of the Moon.
|
And right in the center under a huge plastic bubble,
|
Moon City, a boom-town if ever there was one
|
Because of the huge gold and diamond fields.
|
|
As for Venus, it took almost ninety years
|
To cool down the planet from its five hundred degrees
|
To the current pleasant seventy-five degrees
|
And to transform the atmosphere to make it habitable for Earth-people.

Captain - unidentified object at 8 o'clock - 2 million miles away.
|
Stand by for emergency manoeuvre.
|
Object coming closer at the speed of light - we have eight more seconds.
|
Object coming closer - we have five more seconds.
|
Change course by four point six degrees.
|
Order executed.
|
|
That was a close one, Ladies and Gentlemen.
|
A meteor just passed us on its way to infinity.
|
Well, you can see, even in space
|
Traffic is getting heavier all the time.
|
|
Ladies and Gentlemen, in a few minutes we are going
|
to be landing on Venus, push the button on your left side,
|
the safety mechanism will do the rest for you.
|
We hope you enjoyed the world's first night flight to Venus,
|
Have a good time there.
