Beyond Tomorrow (aka Beyond This World) was an American radio drama series developed for CBS in the spring of 1950.
Beyond Tomorrow was meant to be CBS's first science fiction radio program. The show was announced in newspapers but it is not known if any episodes were actually broadcast. An audition show and three additional shows were transcribed to disk.

00:00Now for tonight's story, let's go Beyond Tomorrow.
00:13Are you afraid to face tomorrow, or whatever may lie beyond tomorrow?
00:20Do you think you're up to spending a weekend on the moon, or entertaining house guests from Mars?
00:25Can you and your children adjust to this strange, new, wonderful world that is being wrought in the test tubes and cyclotrons of science?
00:34Beyond Tomorrow?
00:37Beyond Tomorrow.
00:38A new program of probabilities drawn from the vast library of science fiction, where anything is possible, and possibly may happen, to you.
00:48Tonight, based on a famous story, The Outer Limit, by Graham Doar, the tale of a pilot of an experimental jet rocket aircraft,
01:00about to be hurled 40 miles out from the Earth's surface, into the limitless boundaries of space,
01:05and there to receive the most terrible warning in the history of man.
01:09Zero minus twenty-five, zero minus twenty-five.
01:31All right, men. Settle down.
01:34Settle down, men.
01:35Okay, Colonel.
01:35Yes, sir.
01:36All of you will want to know why we took you one out of whatever warm bet you were in.
01:43You've got a reason.
01:45The RJX-1.
01:47Yeah, yeah, that's right. The RJX-1.
01:50The top, top-secret experimental rocket jet aircraft.
01:54We've been babying it, nursing it, staying up nights with it for sixteen months now.
01:59This morning, Major Westfall is going to wean it.
02:02Bill is going to take her out and beat her up to death.
02:04I can't impress upon you men how extraordinary this flight is.
02:09It's an eight-rocket ship.
02:10That's what I said, eight rockets.
02:13Eight rockets designed to take man into areas of space that have never been explored before,
02:19and at a rate of speed to which no pilot has yet been subjected.
02:22Some of you men have already flown many times to the speed of sound,
02:25so I don't have to tell you very much.
02:29No?
02:30Yes, Colonel?
02:30You'll need the F-86s.
02:32You and the other three jet boys will be Bill's chase planes.
02:35We want observation at 35,000 feet.
02:37Yes, sir.
02:38Okay, here's how it plays.
02:40Pull the curtains on the map with you, Sergeant.
02:41Yes, sir.
02:45You see it circled here, your rendezvous point.
02:48We designate it point X.
02:49It's roughly over Boulder Dam.
02:52Zero hour is 0900.
02:54Joe, you and your jets will take off at zero minus 15.
02:57You got that?
02:58Yes, sir.
02:59UF-86s will make conventional climbs to 30,000 feet.
03:02Rendezvous at point X and call in to meet control at 35,000 feet.
03:06Right, Joe?
03:06That cuts it, Colonel.
03:07Oh, no, wait a minute.
03:08Not quite.
03:09Now we hear about the weather, Pete.
03:11Yes, Colonel.
03:14Well, the weather's very pretty out, boys.
03:17All clear.
03:17Ceiling unlimited.
03:19Winds aloft at 10,000, 80 mph, 25,000, 140 mph, 40,000, 150 mph.
03:27Estimated temperature, 45 below at 40,000 feet.
03:31There's some scattered clouds northwest of point X at 15,000 feet.
03:35Stratus at 30,000 feet, 30 miles east of point X, east.
03:40We expect no change for three hours.
03:42That's it, sir.
03:43Okay, Pete.
03:44Joe, you and your boys go unwrap your F-86s.
03:47Have a nice time.
03:48Yes, sir.
03:48Come on, boys.
03:49Major Westfall.
03:50Major Westfall, stick around.
03:51I want to talk to you.
03:52Okay, Hank.
03:53How do you feel it, Bill?
03:57Why?
03:58You worried, Hank.
03:59Don't worry.
04:00Look, Bill.
04:01You've got only 10 minutes of rocket fuel.
04:04Get rid of those jets before you fire the rockets.
04:07Fire only one rocket.
04:08One rocket at a time.
04:09Yeah, that's right.
04:11Now, look.
04:12I'll be listening in on the public address of control.
04:14I won't bother you until you're airborne.
04:16It'll be between you and the tower until then.
04:18All right, don't worry, Hank.
04:20I'm going to fly that baby higher and faster than anybody ever did before, just like you said.
04:24I'm going to take it up, and I'm going to bring it back.
04:27And then you and I'll have dinner together, hmm?
04:38Zero minus three.
04:40Zero minus...
04:41Good morning, Colonel.
04:43Mr. Hargrove.
04:44He'll be here at the control with me.
04:46It's all right with you, Colonel.
04:47I wouldn't have it any other way.
04:49You've checked the communications equipment, Sergeant?
04:51Oh, yes, sir.
04:52Major Westfall's been assigned a special radio frequency at 3970.
04:56Good.
04:56Good.
04:57You'll take care of it, Sergeant.
04:58We don't want it to poop out or anything like that, do we?
05:00Yes.
05:01No, sir.
05:02Sir.
05:02Hargrove.
05:04I got a thing on my mind.
05:06That boy on the plane you genius has designed.
05:09He's my best boy.
05:10It's our best plane, Colonel.
05:11It better be.
05:12Now it's your turn.
05:14What do you got on your mind?
05:16Everything's in proper order, Colonel.
05:17Recording equipment, the television cameras in the cockpit, everything.
05:22Every known scientific device, even some unknown.
05:26They've been very...
05:26You're talking about a man, Hargrove.
05:29That's all I really want to get back out of this.
05:31What about the man?
05:33There may be one difficulty.
05:35Tell me about it.
05:36I'd like to know.
05:37The takeoff.
05:38With all that load.
05:40The jets, the rockets.
05:42All at maximum fuel capacity.
05:45Never been tested that way before.
05:48Go on, Mr. Hargrove.
05:50Well, it's just that Major Westfall has only 6,000 feet to get his ship airborne.
05:54If he accelerates from zero to 160 miles per hour in 6,000 feet, he should be airborne in seven seconds.
06:01Seven seconds.
06:02That makes zero plus G.
06:03Yes, Colonel.
06:05Beyond zero plus G?
06:06Well, beyond that, we...
06:10We don't know.
06:12We just don't know.
06:15Thanks.
06:16Thanks for everything, Mr. Hargrove.
06:18Sergeant.
06:18Yes, sir.
06:19Flip your switch on Major Westfall.
06:21I hear he's got a swell program.
06:22Flip them all, will you, Sergeant?
06:23Yes, sir.
06:25RJX1 to tower.
06:26Any change in weather?
06:28Tower to RJX1.

06:55All right, all right.
06:56Get off the dime, kid.
06:58Ha, ha, ha.
06:58I'll take a pill, Hank.
06:59You'll need it to settle your stomach.

07:39The rest of the air is yours.
07:41Thank you so much.
07:42Zero minus ten.
07:44RJX1 to tower.
07:46Ready for takeoff.
07:47Tower to RJX1.

08:33Control to R-J-X-1.
08:34Go ahead.
08:35Everything's great, Hank.
08:36It's a doll, baby.
08:38Hey, you must have been kidding with that takeoff, weren't you?
08:40It took that long to get off.
08:42That makes it a takeoff.
08:43How fast are you climbing, kid?
08:451,700 a minute airspeed, 550.
08:49Retract your landing gear.
08:50It'll help.
08:51Oh, sorry.
08:52Call me at 20,000.
09:00Heading is 87.
09:01Everything is real good.
09:02Come in, Hank.
09:03How do you feel?
09:05I like it here.
09:06Pressure okay?
09:07Okay.

09:49Still a doll, baby?
09:51Still is.
09:52Ready to pressurize.
09:53Can you hear me okay, Hank?
09:55Coming in fine.
09:57Pressurized.
10:00Ready to prime rocket system in five seconds.
10:05Primed.
10:08Dropping right jet.
10:11Dropping left jet.
10:12All clear.
10:16Good luck, Bill.
10:18Firing number one rocket.
10:21Fired.
10:22Oh!
10:23He's taken back.
10:25Firing number two rocket.
10:28Fired.
10:30Hey, Hank.
10:32Okay, Bill.
10:33What is it?
10:34Bill.
10:35Bill, are you receiving me?
10:39Control to RJ-X-1.
10:40Come in.
10:41Come in, RJ-X-1.
10:49Hello, Bill.

10:58F-86-Liter to control.
11:00Go ahead.
11:01What about it, Joe?
11:03F-86 observing RJ-X-1.
11:06RJ-X-1 at approximately 60,000 feet.
11:09Maintaining a heading of north-north-west.
11:12I can barely make him, Colonel.
11:14Try calling.
11:15Okay.
11:17F-86-Liter to RJ-X-1.
11:19F-86 to RJ-X-1.
11:21Come in.
11:23Come in, RJ-X-1.
11:24Come in.
11:25Mr. Hargrove.
11:26F-86 to RJ-X-1.
11:28Share it with me, Mr. Hargrove.
11:30F-86 to RJ-X-1.
11:31Sit here and run your fingers through your hair and wait and think about it and share
11:35it with me.
11:36F-86 to RJ-X-1.
11:40F-86-Liter to control.
11:42F-86-Liter to control.
11:43Come in.
11:44Go ahead, F-86-Liter.
11:46We've lost him, Colonel.
11:48Stay up there, Joe, for as long as you can.
11:50What do we do now, Colonel?
11:52I just told you, Mr. Hargrove.
11:54We wait.
11:55You and me, we wait.
12:09We've lost him, Colonel.
12:11You haven't lost me.
12:12I can hear you, Joe.
12:13Stay up there, Joe, for as long as you can.
12:16Hello?
12:17Hello?
12:17Hello?
12:19I'll try another frequency, Joe.
12:21RJ-X-1 to F-86.
12:24Can you make me?
12:29RJ-X-1 to F-86.
12:31Come in.
12:32Come in.
12:36No good, huh?
12:38I'll switch back to Channel Charlie.
12:48I still can't get you, Joe.
12:50I'll keep sending.
12:51Firing number eight rocket.
12:57Fired.
12:58Hello, bro.
13:01Oh, brother.
13:06RJ-X-1 to all you ships at sea.
13:07To all you people anywhere.
13:09This is Bill Westfall approaching 210,000 feet.
13:14That's 40 miles straight up in the air, all you people, and that's where I am.
13:21You never saw anything like it.
13:23No clouds.
13:26A color no one ever named before.
13:28And silence.
13:30Silence.
13:30Eight rockets roaring at my tail, and I can't hear them.
13:37Their sound will never reach me at 1,800 miles an hour.
13:43Silence so complete that the ticking of the clock on my instrument panel is a hammer in my brain.
13:48Silence.
13:49Silence.
13:53Otherwise, nothing.
13:56Nothing except...
13:58No, nothing at all.
14:02Wait a minute.
14:03Yes, there is something all right at 2 o'clock high.
14:11Oh, that's really something, brother.
14:15Maybe a flying disc, and this is a big one.
14:19Spinning like a top, and it's coming toward me.
14:21Can you hear me?
14:24Can you hear me?
14:25Listen.
14:27Something has just happened.
14:29Something, a missile.
14:31It's a shot, maybe, through the canopy.
14:34My pressure is going down.
14:37Something is happening to me.
14:38This disc thing, it's like a magnet.
14:41I'm being killed toward it.
14:42I've lost control of my ship.
14:44I've no control.
14:47I'm going through decompression.
14:48I'm on the verge of unconsciousness.
14:54I'm blacking out.
14:56I'm black.
14:58Can you hear me?
15:18He had only ten minutes' fuel.
15:23He's three hours overdue.
15:25Well, that's that, Colonel.
15:26But wait some more, Mr. Hargrove.
15:28There's no point to it.
15:31May I make a suggestion, Colonel?
15:33What?
15:34Give it up.
15:35Make your report to Washington.
15:37What about you, Mr. Hargrove?
15:39To be frank with you, Colonel,
15:41in another 16 months, there'll be another plane.
15:44The RJX-2.
15:46In the Army, he'll give us another man to fly it.
15:48Not till we're certain about this man,
15:50and we're not certain.
15:51What do you propose to do?
15:52The things that are in the manual.
15:54We'll organize search parties
15:55and put spotter planes up in the air.
15:57Maybe Bill came down on the ocean.
15:58We'll call the Navy in.
15:59Colonel, if the RJX-1 came down on the ocean,
16:02it would sink in three minutes.
16:04You know it had no light preserver equipment on it.
16:06The added weight of the ocean...
16:06We'll call the Navy in.
16:08Whatever you say, Colonel.
16:10My guess is...
16:11What's your guess, Mr. Hargrove?
16:12Well, my guess is that sometime,
16:17somewhere, on some beach or in some field,
16:20someone will pick up a piece of torn metal.
16:23That someone will be holding what's left of the RJX-1.
16:26You're aboard the space patrol ship S-2J-3.
16:50Am I in communication with you?
16:52Can you understand me?
16:53Are we in contact?
16:57Can you understand now what I am saying to you?
17:00Yes, yes.
17:02Yes, I can understand you.
17:04Earthman, your brain is in turmoil, is it not?
17:08It has great difficulty in accepting what you see.
17:12Yeah.
17:13Yes, that's right.
17:15Accepted.
17:16What you see here exists.
17:18All this?
17:23This exists?
17:24It exists, Earthman.
17:27The spaceship you're on exists.
17:29Those jet dynamos you see before you exist.
17:33Jet dynamos driven by the harness power of a thousand suns.
17:38Listen, Earthman.
17:39Listen to them.
17:40Do you know what happened as you listened, Earthman?
17:56We have flung ourselves 10,000 miles into space.
18:00What do you say to that, Earthman?
18:02Why?
18:05I don't know what to say.
18:06It's beyond the conception of your Earth brain.
18:09Then conceive this.
18:14Try to move, Earthman.
18:16You're not bound in any way.
18:17Try to move.
18:18Okay.
18:19Don't change.
18:20It's impossible for you to move.
18:23There's a screen of force aimed at you.
18:25Now it's turned off.
18:28You may move about, Earthman.
18:30Proceed, Zeglon?
18:31Yes, Commander.
18:33Earthman, I perceive that your intellect now accepts the fact.
18:37You are aboard space patrol ship S2J3.
18:41I am Captain Zeglon of the Galactic Guard.
18:43Galactic?
18:45Galactic Guard?
18:47The guardian of the galaxy.
18:48The guardian of the universes.
18:50The instrument the Brotherhood of Worlds has set up in defense against such a civilization as yours.
18:57What puzzles are you, Earthman?
18:59Well, I...
18:59Well, I can't see you.
19:03I can feel that you're here, but I can't see you.
19:05There's no necessity for you to see us.
19:08It is sufficient that we communicate with each other.
19:11Yes, but talking to you is...
19:13Well, it's not like talking.
19:15It's...
19:15Well, it's as if it were all happening inside my brain.
19:20It is.
19:21That is how I'm reaching you.
19:22By telepathy.
19:25Do you remember what happened to you before you blacked out?
19:28Yes, I think so.
19:30Uh, there was a sharp sound, like a bullet hitting the canopy.
19:34It was not a bullet.
19:36It was a ray.
19:37It was necessary to stop your flight.
19:40We have so much to tell you.
19:41Well, first tell me about my ship.
19:44Is it lost?
19:45No.
19:46It is such a crude little ship.
19:47Crude?
19:48Easy for us to repair.
19:50It will be returned to you.
19:52And you will return to Earth.
19:54Because you are the Earth's only hope of survival.
19:58Hope of survival?
20:00What do you mean?
20:01I will show you.
20:02What you see on this screen before you is a panorama of your own universe, far greater
20:08in scope than an Earth man has ever seen before.
20:11Observe.
20:13Observe where the line is pointing.
20:15Planet 3, Star 5, Galaxy C, Sector K.
20:19Is that the Earth?
20:21No.
20:22That dot, that speck you see revolving in the vastness is your sun.
20:27A star whose surfaces 12,000 times that of your Earth.
20:31Your Earth is not even visible here.
20:33What?
20:36How did you know we even existed?
20:38That was our problem.
20:39We first became aware of your planet when we found atomic dust in the upper atmosphere.
20:45We traced it to your Earth.
20:48It was that important to you?
20:50Quite.
20:51We determined that you were setting off atomic bombs.
20:54That's why the Galactic Council has quarantined you.
20:57Quarantined?
20:58I don't understand.
21:01How?
21:02How are we, uh, quarantined?
21:04We've sealed off your planet from the rest of space.
21:07But we've surrounded it with a force screen.
21:10When that screen has accumulated enough particles of atomic dust, your Earth will explode.
21:16Your civilization, you, or life, will disappear forever.
21:22Listen to me, Earth man.
21:24Listen.
21:26We've had our own wars.
21:28Wars that almost destroyed our civilization.
21:32But we have finally outlawed war throughout space, including Earth.
21:38Now listen carefully, Earth man.
21:40If you continue to make atom bombs and hydrogen bombs, each many times more powerful than the last,
21:47and if you start making war with them, exploding them,
21:51it would upset the balance of the entire universe, throw all space into chaos.
21:56This, of course, we cannot allow.
22:00And the force screen with which we have surrounded the Earth will prevent it by exploding the Earth itself.
22:06Remember, then, Earth man, if you start an atomic war, the Earth will at once be completely destroyed.
22:16Warn them, Earth man.
22:18Listen, they're gone.
22:19Yes, Commander.
22:21Earth man, you will rise from your seat and open that door.
22:26Descend those stairs, Earth man.
22:28You will now enter the chamber to your left.
22:37There's your ship.
22:39Get into it, Earth man.
22:42Are you ready?
22:44Yes, I'm ready.
22:45While we were communicating, the patrol ship has returned to where we picked you up.
22:50And now you will be propelled toward Earth.
22:53Close your canopy.
22:54Open up, it's your...
22:59Warn them, Earth man.
23:02Warn them.
23:04Fire!
23:04Fire!
23:17RJX1 to tower.
23:20RJX1 to tower.
23:22Come in.
23:24RJX1 to tower.
23:27Come in, tower.
23:29Tower to funny man.
23:31You loaded, kid.
23:32How did you get in on this frequency?
23:34Listen, this is RJX1.
23:37RJX1 coming in for landing.
23:39Give me landing instructions.
23:40Tower to funny man.
23:42Impossible that you're RJX1.
23:44He's ten hours overdue.
23:46Get away from the area.
23:48Area cleared for bomber practice approaches.
23:51This is Major Westfall and RJX1.
23:53RJX1.
23:54Come on, kid.
23:54Give me landing instructions.
23:56I have no fuel.
23:57I'm gliding.
23:57What?
23:58Hey!
23:59Hey, yeah, I see you now, Major.
24:00Wait a minute.
24:01I'll restrict the area.
24:04Okay, RJX1.
24:06Go ahead.
24:08Approximately six miles north of field.
24:10Clear area for ten miles.
24:12Being cleared.
24:13What's your altitude?
24:14Ten thousand.
24:16Estimate six minutes to land.
24:19Tower to RJX1.
24:21You are clear to land.
24:23Runway nine.
24:24Wind east-southeast 15.
24:28Roger.
24:28Coming down.
24:29Hi, Hank.
24:44Ben.
24:45Bill.
24:45Bill.
24:46What happened?
24:47Hank, you won't believe it, but you've got to.
24:49I know you won't believe it.
24:51It'll knock you over.
24:51Just take it easy, Bill.
24:53Sergeant.
24:53Yes, sir.
24:54Have this ship gone over by garden counters for radioactivity and seal it.
24:57What?
24:57Oh, yes, Hank.
24:58You better mount a 24-hour guard on it.
25:00Look, what did you run into?
25:01Plenty.
25:03Listen to me, Hank.
25:04They said the earth would explode.
25:06They said it was the end for us.
25:08They said that?
25:09Come on, let's go over to my office.
25:10You've got to believe me.
25:11Read it like an order, Bill.
25:12My office.
25:13I want Major Donaldson to look at you.
25:15The psychiatrist?
25:16Hank, you've got to listen to me.
25:17Come on over to the office.
25:25Well, that's the story, Major Donaldson.
25:26I see.
25:27Well, Hank, you believe it, don't you?
25:33Well, Major, what do you think?
25:34I'm not sure.
25:36Bill, these men from Mars...
25:37I didn't say they were from Mars.
25:40Did you hear me say anything about men from Mars?
25:42No, you didn't.
25:44All I'm trying to tell you is this.
25:46Whoever those people were, they knew all about us.
25:48Everything.
25:49And they warned me.
25:51Our atomic bombs are a danger to the universe.
25:53One more, and we're going to be the juiciest galactic 4th of July of all time.
25:58Explode.
25:58Finish.
25:58Gone.
25:59Like that.
26:01How do you like it?
26:03All right, Bill.
26:04Roll up your sleeve.
26:04All right.
26:05Now, forget it, Major.
26:05All I need is a couple of drinks.
26:06Sorry, Bill.
26:07Sorry.
26:08Not right now.
26:09Let the Major give you a high ball.
26:10Now, look.
26:11I've got a drink coming.
26:11A lot of drinks.
26:12Later.
26:13Come on, Bill.
26:13You heard him, Bill.
26:17All right.
26:18Yes.
26:18All right.
26:18If it's an order.
26:20Go ahead.
26:23There.
26:24You'll be okay in a few hours.
26:26I'm okay now.
26:27Sure.
26:28We'll leave you here, Bill.
26:30It's all right if Bill sleeps in here, isn't it, Colonel?
26:32Sure.
26:33Yeah.
26:35Well, maybe you'll believe me tomorrow.
26:38You'd better.
26:40Come on, Major.
26:41Come on, Major.
26:43He'll be okay by himself, Major.
26:49He's been under a strain, but he'll sleep a long time.
26:53Uh, you'd better explain it to his wife somehow.
26:56I'll talk to him tomorrow.
26:59Tough.
27:01I've heard he's one of the best.
27:02He's the best.
27:03A combination of nerve and loyalty and lightning reflexes that comes once in ten million times.
27:09What about it, Major?
27:11How does Bill appeal?
27:12I can't tell you.
27:14Maybe a week, six months, six years.
27:17I'll need a whole lot of time with him before I can tell.
27:20I see.
27:22Well, he'd better get some sleep, too.
27:24All right.
27:25And don't worry, Colonel.
27:26He's a strong boy.
27:27Best nerds I've seen.
27:29I'd say things will be all right.
27:32Delusions like Bill's latched onto...
27:34Well, delusions like this...
27:37Major.
27:38Yes, Colonel?
27:40Major, when you make your charts for Bill, diagnose him and treat him and do all the things you have to,
27:47when you do that, Major, consider this.
27:50Yes?
27:50How did he keep that plane in the air for ten hours?
27:55For ten hours, Major, when he had fuel to last him only ten minutes.
