Did you get around to the film file on interstellar wars at the library?" Duke nodded, wondering how much they knew about his activities. He'd spent a lot of time going over the film for clues. It was so old that the color had faded in places. The rest would have been easier to take without color. Most wasn't good photography, but all was vivid.
And beyond those invisible suns and worlds is a region which thought cannot measure and numbers cannot span. The finite mind of man becomes dazed, dumbfounded in contemplation of magnitude so great and distance so amazing. We stand not bewildered but lost before the problem of interstellar space.
Then there's a scramble for more power, while jealousies and fears breed new hatreds, internally and externally. And finally, there's ruin because at the technological level of interstellar travel, victory in war is absolutely, totally impossible!" He sat back, and Duke waited for him to resume, until it was obvious he had finished. At last, the younger man gave up waiting. "All right," he said.
The Galaxy, or Milky Way, surrounds the borders of our island in space like a stellar garland, and when openings appear in it they are, by contrast, far more impressive than the general darkness of the interstellar expanse seen in other directions. Yet even that expanse is not everywhere equally dark, for it contains gloomy deeps discernable with careful watching.
You'll probably want to ram some of my arguments down my throat I know there is no star near enough for the journey to be made in anything less than a couple of generations by all that's logical; and they'd freeze in the interstellar cold doing it. There is no known star close enough but how about unknowns?" "What have they been doing with the star?" Morey snorted. "Hiding it behind a sun-shade?"
It could let down interstellar liners from emptiness and lift them out to emptiness again, with great convenience and economy for everyone. It landed the Med Ship in its center, and there were officials to greet Calhoun, and he knew in advance the routine part of his visit. There would be an interview with the planet's chief executive, by whatever title he was called. There would be a banquet.
The sarcasm was as hollow as an empty oil drum. "The Times," Dad was saying, trying not to sound too proud, "has a very sharp reportorial staff, Joe." "It isn't Interstellar," Oscar told me, grinning. "It's Argentine Exotic Organics. You know, everybody thought Joe, here, was getting pretty high-toned, sending his daughter to school on Terra. School wasn't the only thing she went for.
The bulge of the dome enclosed us; it rounded like a great observatory window some twenty feet above the ceiling of this little metal cubbyhole. The Planetara was still in Earth's shadow. The firmament black, interstellar space with its blazing white, red and yellow stars lay spread around us. The Moon, with nearly all its disc illumined, hung, a great silver ball, over our bow quarter.
I am not sure.... For there comes to me this dream, that if aught in human life hold power to pass like a swerved sunray through interstellar spaces, into the infinite mystery ... to send one sweet strong vibration through immemorial Time ... might not some luminous future be peopled with such as thou?... And in so far as that which makes for us the subtlest charm of being can lend one choral note to the Symphony of the Unknowable Purpose, in so much might there not endure also to greet thee, another Composite One, embodying indeed, the comeliness of many lives, yet keeping likewise some visible memory of all that may have been gracious in this thy friend...?
Who will pay them, now?" "Why, the Mastership, of course," Ridgerd Schferts said. "My Management my Lord-Employer's, I mean will issue the money to pay them." "You may need a new printing-press," Lanze Degbrend said. "And an awful lot of paper." "This planet will need currency acceptable in interstellar trade," Erskyll said. Everybody looked blankly at him. He changed the subject: "Mr.
