After moving forward again to work on a similar but smaller panel, he returned to Gemini's cabin, barely winded...

In an old B-25 bomber crammed with infra-red scanning equipment, they mapped the volcano's hot spots; then they enlarged their thermal survey by following two great rifts that led from the crater to the sea. Under the shore, and in nearby coastal waters, their infra-red detector revealed just the opposite of what they were searching for: large areas...
