Through the transparent domes of theirspace helmets, Joe could see a look of horror anddisbelief pass across Haney's face. But it was true!Joe and his crew were locked out of the SpacePlatform.

Four thousand miles below circled theEarth. Under Joe's feet rested the solid steel hullof his home in outer space. But without tools therewas no hope of getting back inside. Joe looked athis oxygen meter. It registered thirty minutes to live.
