The story explores the psychological and physical challenges faced by astronauts as they confront the unknown during space travel. It delves into themes of fear, the limits of human capability, and the impact of advanced technology on the human mind. The plot centers around Johnny Youngbear, an astronaut preparing for a historic spaceflight aboard the spacecraft known as "The Ship." As he navigates the tension surrounding the launch, he reflects on the fear and uncertainty that come with venturing into the unknown. The narrative takes a dark turn when Johnny's friend and fellow pilot, Mitch Campbell, encounters a catastrophic failure during his flight, ultimately linked to a terror-inducing sound frequency generated by the ship. Through discussions with a psychologist, Johnny grapples with the implications of this phenomenon, leading to questions about the potential madness brought on by space travel and mankind's technological advancements.
