Trailblazer I is on route to the Moon when one of the crew gets word his wife has been hurt in a car wreck. Although distracted, the crewman needs to focus all his skills and abilities to overcome a major accident.
McCauley takes two scientists to the moon to conduct seismographic experiments. His communication officer, Captain Tom Farrow, learns of his wife's car accident and begins to make mistakes. However, when a moonquake damages the ship and destroys the radio, Farrow is the crew's only hope of repairing the radio so that they can contact Mission Control and summoning a rescue ship.—Gislef
