The story follows Lieutenant Colonel Philip Snow, a flight surgeon and test director at an aerospace medical laboratory, as he uncovers a mysterious phenomenon during a series of astronaut tests. The narrative delves into human consciousness, testing limits in space travel, and the implications of unexplained occurrences in what appears to be an endeavor toward space exploration. The plot centers on astronaut Hamilton Richardson, who experiences an unusual episode during a test involving a vacuum capsule. During the test, Richardson unexpectedly begins to chant in an unfamiliar language, a phenomenon that raises concerns about his mental fitness for the space program. As Snow investigates, he involves his colleague, psychologist Abe Franstein, to help decipher the strange sounds. Through a process of hypnosis, it is revealed that Richardson's experience connects to an ancient narrative about Noah's Ark and an impending cataclysm—suggesting a bizarre but intriguing link between his subconscious and a parallel Earth. Ultimately, the story explores the intersection of past myths and the potential future of humanity in space, leaving readers questioning the profound mysteries of human existence and exploration.
