INT. HALL OF SPACE, WAXWORKS

The HALL OF SPACE - a waxwork display charting the spacerace from early test rockets, the moon landings, further

Apollo missions and beyond!

A young BOY and his MOTHER are surveying the HALL OF SPACE.His MOTHER spouts enthusiastically about spacecraft as theydo this.

They walk through the procession slowly, paying attention to

each of the displays, particularly the information placards.

FUZZ BALDRIN stands proudly in his space suit placing a flaginto some fake lunar dirt. There is an empty plinth next tohim, covered in baked on dust.

MOTHERFUZZ BALDRIN?!

She runs over to the FUZZ BALDRIN display. The BOY follows.

The MOTHER gets to FUZZ, turns to the BOY and beckons himover.

She begins to "fangirl" over FUZZ.

After a while the BOY tires of this. To the side he spies afew newspaper clippings in a display. He squints at them

before walking towards them.

In them are candid pictures of FUZZ and his crewmates livingin their shuttlecraft. In each photo is a part of an animal,just cut out of frame so as to obscure its identity.

The BOY searches until he finds the identity of the animal.

A dog. The caption reads "ZIGGY - THE FIRST LONG MISSION

ANIMAL ASTRONAUT"We SLOW ZOOM into the photo until we are in the scene.

ZOOM AND EXPAND:

RED ALERT. RED ALERT. Bleepers bleep and red light engulfsthe shuttlecrew.

ZIGGY sees the floating food, licks his lips in excitementand pushes off a wall towards the food. He fumbles throughthe air like a newborn fawn, not yet used to the lack ofgravity.

Eventually the feasting ceases and the air is once againclear. The alert is silenced.

CUT TO:

INT. APOLLO 11 - LATER

FUZZ is putting on his space suit.

ZIGGY floats about at his side.

FUZZ floats towards an airlock, and enters it without

wearing his helmet. ZIGGY barks and floats towards him,holding the strap of his helmet in his mouth.

CUT TO:

EXT. SPACE - LATER

FUZZ and ZIGGY are spacewalking. ZIGGY is just about gettingused to the no-gravity environment and is moving around withrelative ease.

FUZZ is repairing a panel on the shuttlecraft, he hasn'tattached his safety line to the shuttle.

FUZZ bashes the panel into place and goes flying in theopposite direction.

ZIGGY see's this and grabs something from FUZZ's tool pack -which is now slowly floating away. He detaches himself from

his line on the shuttle and pushes off, towards FUZZ.

FUZZ is flailing madly, spinning uncontrollably.

Reaching FUZZ with a bump, ZIGGY passes the object to him.It is revealed as a GRAPPLING HOOK. FUZZ grabs on to ZIGGYas they now both spin away from the shuttle

CUT TO:

INT. HALL OF SPACE, WAXWORKS

An attendant comes out of a side door near the FUZZ display.He is holding something under his arm, wrapped in cloth.

He walks towards the display, dusts the empty plinth next toFUZZ's waxwork, and places the object down caringly.

He pulls the cover off.

Standing there proudly, next to FUZZ, is ZIGGY.

We PAN from the display, glancing the newspaper clippings,but going beyond that until the camera rests on aphotograph.

An older FUZZ walks ZIGGY on the beach.

FADE TO BLACK.
