"That mass is so hot now, if any booster energy hit it, it would be like a trigger on a bomb. It'd blow us from here to the next galaxy!" "I'm willing to try it," said Tom. "How about you, Astro?" "I've gone this far, and I'm not quitting now." They turned to face Roger. "Well, how about it, Roger?" asked Tom. "No one will think you're yellow if you take the jet boat and leave now."
Become a practical booster of the plan. It fits the future. It fits today. Be a Booster. It is right. It pays. We must endeavor to establish desirable industries. The most desirable industries are those in which there is an opportunity for development of all the workers and a chance for the greatest number to find the best opportunity to acquire special skill and special ability.
Neck and neck Old Stone and Calvert passed the quarter, the half, and the three-quarter post, and with the crowd yelling like demons came hurtling down the stretch. "Old Stone wins!" cried the "booster" at the tape in a voice husky with excitement. "Calvert a close second!" Felix nearly fainted. His head swam. He had won a quarter of a million.
Fire could have been easily extinguished. Instead, deadly radiation from the cracked firing chambers flooded the ships and their cargo, rendering them useless. Tom, Roger, and Astro stood with Jeff Marshall and the Logan family as the governor outlined their initial objectives on the satellite. "First," declared Hardy, "we have to build atmosphere booster stations.
The A.D.M.S., or Assistant Director of Medical Services the official title of the principal bolus booster in a Division emerged with a sickly smile from behind a corner, and advanced unwillingly to the head of the procession.

"How far?" asked Jones. "It's fifth magnitude," said the pilot happily. "We really did pile on the horses!" Jones looked momentarily pleased again. Cochrane said in a voice that even to himself sounded outraged: "You mean the sun's a fifth-magnitude star from here? What the devil happened?" "Booster," said Jones, nearly with enthusiasm.
But it wasn't meant as a way to fly from one place to another on Earth. It was the first booster stage of a three-stage rocket aimed at outer space.
This garish froth of merchandise is the back ground of their luxuries. This noisy puzzle-picture store is their horn of plenty. A sad thought and we'll dismiss it. What we want is plot. Perhaps the jazz-song booster singing out of the side of his mouth with tired eyes leering at the crowd of girls: "Won't You Let Me Love You If I Promise to Be Good?" And "Love Me, Turtle Dove." And "Lovin' Looie."
"Tom " he breathed, "Astro look!" They turned and peered into the dusk. In the distance, not a mile away, was the huge crystal-clear dome of the atmosphere booster station, its roaring atomic motors sending a steady purring sound out across the desert. "We made it," said Tom, choking back the tears. "We made it!" "Well, blast my jets," said Astro. "We sure did!"
"The blast got one of them," Shann pointed out. "Yes, they'd nicked the booster rocket; she wouldn't climb again. But they'll be back here to pick over the remains." Shann looked at the dead Throg. "Thanks for taking a hand." His tone was as chill as the other's this time. "I'm heading south...." And, he added silently, I intend to keep on that way.
