 He sees that an emergency light has come on and informs Gregor.The pilot discovers that the ship's engines have been over-running and that the ship is on a course that will pass close to Venus (in the 1950 movie "Rocketship X-M" the over-running of the engines takes the lunar-bound ship to Mars).With insufficient propellant to return to Earth, Gregor attempts to make an emergency landing on a mountainside and dies in the crash.
