Summaries

The last two hours before a manned spaceship's landing on Mars are transmitted on a TV news channel on Earth. Problems arise.

When the world's first spaceship is close to its goal (Mars), the TV-network GNN begins its live coverage of the last two hours of the mission and then the problems start. The landing-computer malfunctions, the captain Eugene Slader gets very sick and back on Earth it is discovered that big financial corporations have an interest in the failure of the mission - and we, the viewers, can see it all live on television.—<uffe@enterpol.dk>
