I have fond memories of the original short story by James Blish... so I was very disappointed that this shares very little with the original story beyond the basic concept and a few character names. The big mystery of the short story isn't a mystery at all in this, and the location is completely changed, in a way that doesn't really make any sense, culminating in an example of that oddity of '50s sci-fi, the "science inspires faith" story.

Disappointingly changed from the original story
