Space Patrol TV 8 Hit By A Meteorite

Space Patrol TV "HIT BY A METEORITE" February 9, 1952

While on a pleasure trip from Terra to Earth, Commander Buzz Corry and the Space Patrol crew are caught in a storm of meteorites brought about by the appearance of Trackenger's comet. Disabled by a meteorite lodged in the hull of their ship, they have no power to alert Space Control on Earth of their condition. Unless the meteorite can be dislodged it will burst into flame and set the Terra IV on fire when it enters Earth's atmosphere. Avoiding that, the Space Patrollers will still crash into Earth unless Space Control is sharp enough to note their speed and use the magnetic force control to land the crippled ship.
