Just a historical FYI: That Twilight Zone was titled “And When The Sky Was Opened”. One of my all time Top 5 episodes ever.

I agree. Try to imagine that story was told in 30 minutes!!! Rod Serling was an unbelievable writer and story teller.

Is the crew OK, healthy?

Unmanned spacecraft:

Just imagine if some alien HAD encountered a monkey or dog traveling in space and then tried to communicated with that traveler?
