Description
An alien scout finishes his recommendation that Earth be invaded, but his ship develops trouble and he must crash land. A newspaper informs him about rockets and so he sets out to modify one to take him back to his home planet and give his report. The one he sneaks into has no controls and is airtight and he finds himself locked in. The creature needs to breathe and so expires as he has made the mistake of picking a time capsule to be lowered into the ground in place of a rocket ship.
