I'm going to put you through your paces on hyperdrive and the operation of the transmitter." "Then we're still going to make the trip to Tara, sir?" asked Tom. "We certainly are, Corbett," replied Connel. "In two hours another cadet is arriving from the Academy to replace Roger. His name's Alfie Higgins. Perhaps you know him." Tom smiled. "Yes, sir, we know him," he replied.
They had recovered all the old techniques, up to and including the hyperdrive. They didn't raid; they traded. They had religious objections to violence, though they kept these within sensible limits, and were able and willing to fight with fanatical ferocity in defense of their home planet.
When we get out to the industrial planets, we may find one ready except for perhaps some minor alterations." "But how are we going to finance all this?" Klem Zareff demanded querulously. "We're poorer than snakes, and even one hyperdrive ship's going to cost like Gehenna." "I've been thinking about that, Klem," Fawzi said.
Tom could hardly keep himself from laughing. Captain Strong had scored heavily! The Solar Guard officer then turned his attention to Astro. "Astro, where in the name of the universe did you get the idea you could be an officer in the Solar Guard?" "I can handle anything with push in it, sir!" Astro smiled his confidence. "Know anything about hyperdrive?" "Uhh no, sir."
As I thought, he is too intent on his task to notice a touch as light as I am using. Is there no way we can get there faster?

He turned to the intercom, but before he could speak, Astro's voice roared into his ears. "Report from the power deck, sir," said Astro. "Acceleration normal. Request permission to open up on hyperdrive." "Permission granted!" said Connel. "Look, sir," said Tom, "on the teleceiver screen. Junior is getting his bumps!" Connel glanced up at the screen.
The Contraction took one of his sons away. And now he wants the hyperdrive as much as I do. Alan glanced at the stiff, erect figure of his father as they clambered out of the copter and headed at a fast clip toward the Administration Building of the Enclave. He wondered just how much pain and anguish his father was keeping hidden back of that brisk, efficient exterior.
A Solar Guard cruiser, the most powerful class of spaceship in the Solar Alliance, the Polaris was also equipped with hyperdrive, a well-guarded secret method of propulsion, enabling Solar Guard ships to travel through space faster than any other craft known.

I'm even sure Cavour himself actually succeeded in building a hyperspace vessel." "Sure," Rat said drily, switching his long tail from side to side. "Sure he built one.
