Synopsis: The X-17 is set to become the first manned rocket to be launched from the Earth and the four-man crew was excited to become the first to reach another planet. To them, the distant stars looked like marbles. Then McGraw sends his first report: their target planet, Mars, seems to get smaller as they approach it, and Enkers donned a suit and went out and got it....it was the size of a rubber ball. And the other planets had similar issues like this as well. The General and assistants can't believe what they are hearing and deduce the crew has gone insane.
