We can see clearly in the story that the setting is in a cockpit, in a Lab, Simulating a landing to Mars..The time period we can state is around 1950's and all it implied a first trip to Mars.
It was an experiment. A great experience for Greg Hunter to move on in his carreer.
<u>Getting ready for Mars.</u>

"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded. That was the final phrase I heard before getting ready to jump out to the space. The sky was there just for me.
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone. I started my way out, with fear and excitement willing to explore all around .
I couldn't believe what was going on out there. It was all amazing!!
Suddenly I heard a strange noise and a beeping sound in my radio. I couldn´t have control of my equipment either. I started to go down without viewing a place to land. I decided to ask for help:
"Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."
I don't know what happened later...
