Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I swear I was born 70 years too late. How awesome would it have been to have just finished dinner, cold and stormy outside, and the family gathered around the radio to listen to these wonderful shows. Just love them.
One person will die if she doesn't get gravity, but nothing is going to happen to everyone else on the ship when they suddenly get more gravity than expected. Curious.
Instead of spinning ("warping") the spaceship to create artificial gravity, they could have placed Marsha in a personal centrifuge. In other words, twirl a chair or bed from a rope or stick (plus a small motor to offset the energy lost to friction) with Marsha in the chair or bed. (They might need to cut out the wall between a couple of rooms to make a room wide enough to twirl her.) Twirling is what Kang & Kodos would advise.
Yeah I was thinking about that while listening. There was no need for any of this if they just had this kind of machine onboard. In their defense, "spaceliners" probably see it as too expensive so they don't do it. Who knows.
But of course she's pregnant. If that wasn't a crucial part of the plot, the character could just as easily have been that senator who missed Mars and died.

I wonder why we never got a Martian named Marsha.

!! wow, A FEMALE NARRATOR! Especially for the '50s!
More to the point, 2nd person narrative.
@@paulbennett772 : I think it's first person, but talking (thinking) to herself. It's one of the ways she's crazy.

A soap opera set in space. If that is your thing.
