_______

Above average TV movie with the ultimate wish-fulfillment plot for younger sci-fi fans; an 11 year old boy (Michael Link) sneaks aboard a NASA space vehicle and blasts off with astronaut Lloyd Bridges (who blasted off 25 years earlier in "Rocketship X-M").

Also starring John Carradine and Keene Curtis (a prominent voice in the 13-chapter "Star Wars" radio adaptation). Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen.

I've never seen the movie, and I don't even remember it on tv. So when did they preform the cold equations, and pitch the kid out of the capsule, so that everyone else didn't die.

The Wikipedia plot summary describes a very imaginative plot, rivaling Space Camp's outrageously improbable events. I haven't watched it about six years, so I might give it another look this winter it get snowed in like I did back in 2014 and chatted on Facebook with Bulldogtrekker while sharing sci-fi movies all day.

I made the video below with my Kodak digital camera sitting on a tripod —

— looking through the glass door in my living room. The feature during this video was Conquest of Space.

You can hear an exciting scene in the background!

Damn, what a great memory . . . Cool

I remember watching this when it first aired. I don't remember much, except that I think one of the astronauts got space sick.
