* CasualDangerDialog: The astronauts' wives are instructed to speak to the men calmly, to put them at ease. One wife discusss her new shoes and the fact that she misplaced the insurance bill.

A 1969 sci-fi thriller film directed by John Sturges, adapted from the novel of the same name by Creator/MartinCaidin.

Charles Keith (Creator/GregoryPeck) is the ground commander in Houston who must decide whether or not to approve the dangerous rescue mission.
