...invisible to most of the world's observatories. In any case, it would spend nearly half its time in the shadow of the earth, where it would be invisible. Most of the rest of the time it would be passing over the sunlit earth, and would look no brighter at best than a tiny fragment of the moon as seen by day.

Slezak's fellow convicts, played by Royal Beal and Carl Betz, seem brighter and more natural...
