And here's to those six unknowns coming up to, maybe, get the same dose we're due for! We were closely watched. New York City knows exactly where we vanished in the sky. Those six planes are aiming at us at a spot in the stratosphere they can't see. And yet, why should Sitsumi and the Three be so fearful? All they have to do is move a half mile in any direction and they'll never find them."
They have been summoned by the Stratosphere Control Board which has delegated to me the honor of making the announcement." The tall figure was commandingly erect; for an instant the fire of youth had returned to him. "Walter Harkness!" he called. "Chester Bullard! Stand forth that the eyes of the world may see!" Two men arose from among the members of the Board and came hesitantly forward.
His own radio had been crackling a call, and now this response was coming across the void. "Orders from the Stratosphere Control Board: You will proceed at once to New York. Radiobeacon 2X12 will guide you down. Your message received and we acknowledge report of the finding of the space-flyer, Pilot Haldgren.
If I don't come back ... take off and follow me into the stratosphere at once." Had Kress, possessor of one of the keenest scientific minds in the world, taken leave of his senses? "If I don't come back," he had said. What did he expect to do? Fly off the earth utterly? That was silly. But when the partners looked again at Kress they both had the same feeling.
From somewhere up here in this immensity, Franz Kress had dropped to his death. Of course, if it had happened at this height he hadn't lived to suffer. Or had he? What had been done to him by the the denizens of the stratosphere? Jeter sat down beside Eyer. It seemed strange to eat breakfast here, but the sandwiches and hot coffee in a thermos bottle were extremely welcome.
He understood from the scientist's explanation that Orion was to travel far into the exosphere, actually beyond the atmosphere, while Cetus was a smaller, single-stage rocket for research in the ionosphere, the ionized layer of atmosphere just beyond the stratosphere. The projects, he realized, were named for constellations. "In this shed we have Pegasus."
They've pictured me as a hero in advance, doomed to death by direct attack from what they are pleased to call after having invented them denizens of the stratosphere." "Yes?" said Jeter, when Kress paused. Kress took a deep breath. "They've come nearer than they hoped for in some guesses," he said. "Of course I don't know it, but I've had a feeling for some time.
Maybe the radiation will just stay there. What little breeze there is probably is just in the upper stratosphere. My son's a weatherman, you know." The elderly man in thick glasses pointed out Gabriele's Lily shaped son as his own. "He says that not feeling a breeze means no breeze at all except way up there in the stratosphere. The radiation is below that.
On April 27, 1950, a guided missile had been fired, and as it roared up into the stratosphere and fell back to earth, the camera crews had recorded its flight. All the crews had started to unload their cameras when one of them spotted an object streaking across the sky.
Then, when we've made things as clear as possible, Eyer and I will take off and get up to do our best to counteract the whatever it is that seems to be ruling the stratosphere. We'll do everything possible to hold the influences in check until you can send up other space ships to our assistance." Hadley stared. "You speak as though you expected to be up for a long time.
