Summary
What happens when a rocket ship in space is struck and damaged by a meteor?  Capt. Gell, a Navy expert on crew equipment, demonstrates the Navy’s full-pressure space suit for emergency escape from a shattered craft.  Dr. Haber, an aerodynamic engineer who has made a thorough study of the theoretical problems of escape and survival far out in pace, explains the difficulty of making an individual descent into the atmosphere, on one hand, and of rescuing the stranded flyer in space, on the other.  Dr. Herbert’s recommendation: the crew should ride the damaged vehicle back to earth --if anything remains of it.
