The people in the photo lab made a few calculations and measurements and came up with the answer, "A 20-foot balloon photographed from 30,000 feet away would be the same size as the UFO in the gun camera photos." Lieutenant Flues's Coca-Cola consumption had dropped from twenty bottles a day in mid-July to his normal five.
It was only one times ten to the minus five of a gravity that the four by four by half inch piece of carefully machined plastic presented to the sixty-four million pound mass of Space Lab One. But the force was presented almost exactly along the north-south axis of the hub of the ship, and in space a thrust is cumulative and momentum derives per second per second.
But the lab was not here so much as a stepping stone to the moon as it was to provide information for the future manned trips out towards Mars and the asteroids; and in towards Venus and the sun.
Arcot spent the rest of the evening teaching them the Venerian system of telepathy. They all rose at nine. Arcot got up first, and the others found it expedient to follow his example shortly thereafter. He had brought a large Tesla coil into the bedroom from the lab and succeeded in inducing sufficient voltage in the bedsprings to make very effective, though harmless, sparks.
Chernov had the gun now; and the personal communicator from the Security man as well. "O.K.," said Mike. "I don't think he can give us much trouble in there," pointing at the air-lock bulkhead through which he had just entered. "We can go in and out through the physics lab," he said. "Best we shut that off now before some more of these boys wander along."
A few minutes later, after his third mouthful of food, Carse murmured: "We'll use your ship to go to Eliot's lab in, Ban, but I think you'll have to carry me aboard. So sleepy. Wake me when we get to lab." On this last word his sleep-denied body had its way, and at once he was deep in the dreamless slumber of exhaustion. While he slept, the others rapidly carried out his orders.
I'd have stuck to them in any case because they've got the works on Kerith Island, and I've always wanted to work there. Think of it! I shall be able to sleep here at night and go out in the morning to a place I've seen all my life out of these windows. And all day long I'll be able to put my head out of my lab. door and look along the hill to our tree-tops.
"I know, I just repeated it." Silence. "So do you need a list?" Forrester asked. "If you wouldn't mind. And whatever forms you'll think I'll need." "Ah, forms. Yes. Definitely. Meet me at my office before you go." And out popped Forrester's head from the room. The Lab Coat Man sighed and turned to Prof. Sigger. "Once we're ready, we should be able to conclude everything quickly.
It was here for the first time that she had heard of the recruitment of a staff for the new U.N. Space Lab project, and here she had made a basic decision: To seek a career, not in her own country or back among the peoples of her own clan, but in the U.N. itself, where she could better satisfy the urge to know more of all people. She had, of course, been educated in a time of change.
"He asks strange questions, that's about all." "He almost shot me!" the Lab Coat Man exclaimed. "Would you leave that alone for a minute?" Denny asked. "We'll have to get him out of the way." "And whoever has Forrester," Zeke added. "Who was careless enough to let two of us be compromised?!" she demanded. "Keep your voice down, Shenika," Denny replied.
