f'ff Be Down to Get You in a Space Ship, Honey ! I F YOU haven’t anything to worry about at the moment, consider this: Don Hastings, the Ranger of the Captain Video series on the Du Mont network, has decided that everything isn’t going to be just jimdandy in the Year 2054, either. Dating, for instance. Assuming that love will be at least as popular then as now, Don has figured out a few of the things that will ensue when a fellow tells his girl: “I’ll be down to get you in a space ship, honey.” For one thing, she’ll have to wear thick magnetic boots imder her formal to stay on the dance floor. If she didn’t, lack of gravity would send her floating off into space, and not on a thick, white dreamcloud, either. Dinner would have to be served on a tray with a magnetic lid. Other¬ wise, it would head for the ceiUng. And you know how high food is al¬ ready. You couldn’t pour a drink, because it wouldn’t come out of the bottle, unless it ate its way through the glass. Hastings admits that the swain of 2054 will be able to catch a rocket taxi from Mars, pick up his date on Earth, go to Venus for dinner, catch an early show on Jupiter and go dancing on Pluto. Then he can stop off on the Moon to be sure of moonlight, take the girl in his arms and lean down to press a kiss on her lips. And then what happens? Why, their oxygen helmets bump together, of course. 15
