John Fenton Murray's second GI script has quite a bit of "implausible even for Gilligan's Island" about it, but it is interesting to see the girls and the Howells try to sneak aboard the space capsule.  And it's an overall typical but entertaining episode.  But, no, I don't know why they can't use the phosphoric rocks from the earlier episode to spell out SOS, or why Gilligan doesn't know what SOS means, or why....

James Spencer, who plays Ryan, was Copilot earlier, while George N. Neise is a NASA Official here and was an interviewer earlier.  Sportscaster Chick Hearn is a Commentator here and would be a Radio Announcer later, although it's his appearance in the final GI TV-movie that I really remember.
