From its beginning, Americans have believed this country had a moral significance that transcended its military or economic power. Unique among the nations of the world, America was created as a conscious act by men dedicated to a set of political and ethical principles they believed to be of universal applicability. Small wonder, then, that Santayana concluded: "To be an American is of itself almost a moral condition...
...screenplay. Carrie remains the eternal enigma down to her last act of self-destruction; when asked if she is enjoying herself at the outset of the prom, she answers with a cryptic "It's like being on Mars." The character is never fleshed out, although this may be the conscious intention of the script.

In retaliation for radiation bombardments from the station, the sentient sea creates figures from the spacemen's sub conscious and bounces them back up to the station to haunt the inhabitants and drive them to suicide. Not long after his arrival, Kelvin receives a spectral visitor of his own: his exwife, who killed herself back on earth years before. Kelvin is immediately smitten by a lethal mixture of love and guilt, and his mission - and the fate of the space station - is imperiled...
