"The Solar Guard spends a fortune to develop a foolproof space torpedo and two hot-shot cadets come along and get away from the blasted thing! Why haven't you told this to anyone before?" "Why er " stammered Tom, "we've never had the chance to prove it, sir." Behind them, the power-deck hatch suddenly opened and Astro stepped in. "Nice work, Tom!" he called.
We may have missed the boat in getting anti-gravity, if there is such a thing, but our artificial gravity is darned near foolproof. It was ten years since I'd moved in free fall, but Space Tech had done a good job of training good habits. I got out of my bunk, hit the corridor with a hand out, bounced, kicked, and dove toward the mess hall without a falter.
The photographic officer said I must have made some silly mistake with the loading handle, and he remarked sadly that the camera was supposed to be foolproof. I said he must have made some silly mistake when inspecting the camera before it left his workshop, and I remarked viciously that the camera was foolproof against a careless operator, but by no means foolproof against the careless expert.
He moved the control delicately by hand, and the little sun followed dutifully. The weights on the control mechanism were in place, Hanson noted. Someone would probably have to keep them wound from now on, unless they could devise a foolproof motor. But that was for the future. He bent to the hand cranks.
When we train a man he not only can survive in the period to which he is sent, but he can also pass as a native born in that era " "What about Hardy?" The major gazed into space. "There is no operation which is foolproof. We have never said that we don't run into trouble or that there is no danger in this.
We were to cover either side of the road twice, so I had arranged to use half the number of plates during each there-and-back journey. The R.F.C. camera used by us is so simple as to be called foolproof. Eighteen plates are stacked in a changing-box over the shutter. You slide the loading handle forward and backward, and the first plate falls into position.
But if you could accurately establish that some type of object was traveling 30,000 miles an hour or even 3,000 miles an hour through our atmosphere, the UFO story would be the biggest story since the Creation. The plan seemed foolproof and had the full support of every man who was to participate. For the first time in history every GI wanted to get on the patrols.
At the present session of the United Nations in Paris, we, together with the British and the French, offered a plan to reduce and control all armaments under a foolproof inspection system. This is a concrete, practical proposal for disarmament. But what happened? Vishinsky laughed at it.
The body of the average man is like a fifty-watt lamp, which cannot accommodate the billion watts of power roused by an excessive practice of KRIYA. Through gradual and regular increase of the simple and "foolproof" methods of KRIYA, man's body becomes astrally transformed day by day, and is finally fitted to express the infinite potentials of cosmic energy-the first materially active expression of Spirit.
But I've got to start somewhere and hope I'm on the right track." "One thing occurs to me. Eight of the androids died and one was killed. What if all ten had succumbed? How did they plan to get their data?" "Who knows? I'm not saying the idea is foolproof. But a certain amount of risk had to be involved. If the ten died, they would have missed. Maybe they'd try again in that case.
