30 MINUTES TO LIVE!
Joe Kenmore heard the airlock close with a sickening wheeze and then
a clank. In desperation he turned toward Haney. "My God, we've been
locked out!"
Through the transparent domes of their space helmets, Joe could see
a look of horror and disbelief pass across Haney's face. But it was
true! Joe and his crew were locked out of the Space Platform.
Four thousand miles below circled the Earth. Under Joe's feet rested
the solid steel hull of his home in outer space. But without tools
there was no hope of getting back inside. Joe looked at his oxygen
meter. It registered thirty minutes to live.
