"We gaze, and you gaze with us," said Jamison, "upon a world that future generations will come to know as home the site of the first human colony among the stars!" Cochrane began to beat time. Ten, nine, eight . "We are about to land," Jamison declaimed. "We do not know what we shall find What's that?" He paused dramatically. "A living creature? A living creature sighted down below!
The youth pointed vaguely. "Over there," he replied. "Well, now look a here now," said the tattered man, rambling on in idiot fashion. His head was hanging forward and his words were slurred. "This thing won't do, now, Tom Jamison. It won't do. I know yeh, yeh pig-headed devil. Yeh wanta go trompin' off with a bad hurt. It ain't right now Tom Jamison it ain't.
"What kind of scenery do you want?" "Animals preferred," said Cochrane. "Dinosaurs would do. Or buffalo or a reasonable facsimile. What I'd actually like more than anything else would really be a herd of buffalo." Jamison gasped. "Buffalo?" "Meat," said Cochrane in an explanatory tone. "On the hoof.
We saw it." "It had a moon," observed Cochrane. "A big one. It looked like a world itself. What would it be like there?" "Cooler than this," said Jamison promptly, "because it's farther from the sun. But it might pick up some heat from reflection from its primary's white clouds. It would be a fair world. It has oceans and continents and strings of foam-girt islands.
He was the second and only other active member of "the force" besides Sandy Jamison, he who had "taken Judith in." Jane and Dozia urged forward in spite of orders, however, and now Judith saw them! She flashed a look first defiant then hopeless. It had defiance for the charge, but was hopeless to make that country court understand.
Alicia would now have a full-time occupation keeping people from taking advantage of him. But the ship went back to Earth. And on Earth Jamison became the leading television personality of all time, describing and extrapolating the delicious dangers and the splendid industrial opportunities of star-travel. Bell was his companion and co-star.
I haven't had a real chance to show what I can do with this sort of material!" "Forget it!" Cochrane snapped again. "Stick to your cameras!" Jamison said hopefully: "You'll give me some data on plants and animals, Mr. Cochrane? Won't you? I'm doing a book with Bell's pictures, and " "Let me alone!" raged Cochrane. He reached the control-room.
He introduced Jamison, wearing improvised leggings and other trappings appropriate to an explorer in wilderness. Jamison began to extrapolate from his observations out the control-room port, adding film-clips for authority.
"It changes the properties of space, but that's all. Can you think of any use for a faster-than-light radiation-pipe? I can't." Cochrane cocked an eye at Jamison, who could extrapolate at the drop of an equation. But Jamison shook his head. "Communication between planets," he said morosely, "when we get to them. Chats between sweethearts on Earth and Pluto.
Durham, you can buy plenty of new, bare places, but your hair would be gray before you'd have the fruit that old man Jamison planted and tended into bearing condition; and you can buy places with fine shade trees and all that, and a good show of a garden and orchard, but Jamison used to say that an apple or cherry was a pretty enough shade tree for him, and he used to say too that a tree that bore the biggest and best apples didn't take any more room than one that yielded what was fit only for the cider press.
