...things are like back on Earth. Earthly images include slides showing human anatomy and a diagram of human conception, mathematical formulas, and a shot of Idaho's spectacular Snake River. Among the recordings: street sounds, the cry of a newborn baby, the hum of a string quartet, the roar of a Saturn rocket lifting off. Also included is a greeting written and read by President Carter. "This is a present from a small, distant world," his message begins. "A token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive...

Finally, on Aug. 7, the 725-meter (2,400-ft.) Usu awakened with a roar like that of a bomb. A huge black cloud soared to a height of 12,000 meters (39,000 ft.).

...pilot of the Millennium Falcon, the souped-up space freighter that takes the intrepid rebels to their battle with the dread Death Star. Like Artoo Detoo, Chewie is voluble without actually being able to talk. In a voice that is somewhere between a hoarse lion's roar and the braying of an outraged donkey, he bullies little Artoo or retreats, in moments of danger, to a position of forthright cowardice. Inside the fur is Peter Mayhew, a porter at London's Mayday Hospital. More than 7 ft. tall to begin with, Mayhew is made to look even taller...
