As far back as the year 1906 the late Count Witte and myself made a guess at the time-distance which the nation still had to traverse, assuming the rate of progress to be constant, before reaching the abyss. This, however, was mere guesswork, which one of the many possibilities and in especial change in the speed-rate might belie.
"Then, sir, I'd appreciate it if you'd put the calculators to work and make a time-distance plot for the next few hours. The blast we're saving to push to escape velocity is about three kilotons. Let us know the last moment when we can fire." "You will have it within fifteen minutes. Anything else, Foster?" "Nothing else I can think of, sir." "Then, good luck. We'll be standing by." "Yes, sir.
You will reach optimum position on the time-distance curve at twenty-three-oh-six." "Got it. We will reach optimum position at twenty-three-oh-six." He looked at his chronometer, and his pulse stopped. It was 22:58! They had just eight minutes before the sun caught them forever, atomic blast or no! And the Connie cruiser was still overhead, with no friendly cruisers in sight.
It was about time he heard from Terra base. The light was glowing. For all he knew, it might have been glowing for many minutes. He plugged into the circuit. "This is Foster on the asteroid." "Terra base to Foster. Listen, you will reach optimum position on the time-distance curve at twenty-three-oh-six. Repeat back, twenty-three-oh-six." "Got it.
We have a complete track from the time you started showing on the Terra screens, about halfway between the orbits of Mars and earth." "Did you just get our change of direction?" "Yes. We’re following you on the screens." "Then, sir, I’d appreciate it if you’d put the calculators to work and make a time-distance plot for the next few hours.
