Alpha waves.

Those alpha waves will take me north

to his secret.

And his secret will give me Superman.

The MAB is 196 at.5.

We ought to see the old beauty when we...

You follow the bouncing ball for a while.

It's giving me a headache.

Anyway, somebody's got to check up

on those guys.

Yeah, I keep forgetting about them.

How long they been up there, 45 days?

The whole world's forgotten about us.

Houston calling Artemis II.

Houston calling Artemis II, come in.

'Morning, Houston.

Hold on, Nate.

- Yo!

- How are things going?

All systems normal, Houston.

Andy is out doing the geological survey...

More rocks.

And Cosmonaut Boris

is getting some soil samples.

By the way, Boris and I are engaged.

I had a feeling about you guys

when I saw your Rorschach tests.

Just a little dtente humor there, Houston.

Surface conditions unchanged?

It's mighty pretty out there. Mighty...

...pretty.

Mighty pretty, right.

Look, Nate...

Nate, wake up, will you?

That's it. I'm dreaming.

Artemis, come in.

Houston, we seem to have

an unidentified flying object.

Unidentified?

- What does it look like?

- A lot like a...

...like a girl.

You.

- What kind of a creature are you?

- Just a man.

A man?

What's your name?

Where are you from?

What a fragile sort of life form it is.

Houston, come in. Houston!

Come in, Houston.

Houston!

Somebody help me!

- Artemis, this is Houston calling.

- What's up?

- Artemis, Houston calling. Come in please.

- What's going on?

- I don't know. We've lost contact.

- So?

I mean really.

Artemis, come in please. Houston calling.

What was that he said before?

He saw a girl?

- I thought he said "curl."

- What's a "curl"?

Isn't that what the old Canaveral guys used

to call a comet on an east-west trajectory?

How should I know?

I was in back high school in those days.

Strange.

I tore those metal fibers like paper.

And what he did...

...was amazing!

- Something is happening.

- Yes. To all of us.

The closer we come

to an atmosphere with only one sun...

...a yellow sun...

...the more our molecular density

gives us unlimited powers!

They come from there...

...a place called Houston.

Then we will go there too.

To rule.

Finally... to rule!

Lights out, Luthor.

I said, "Lights out!"

You guys are about ten seconds away

from solitary, you know that?

I told you to...

Freeze, freeze!

Go out there and find it.

- What am I looking for?

- You'll know when you see it.

I think I found it.

What is it?

It's a ladder, you dummy.

Hi, Miss Teschmacher.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Come on, hurry.

Otis, hold that ladder, hurry up.

Come up.

Here I come, Mr. Luthor.

Otis, we're sinking!

Get off, get off!
