did. Couple weeks ago some half-mad searcher descended from the heights. Big
to-do about it when he finally got here. Everybody was already shipping out.

those spacecraft that travel faster than light. They’re waiting for us, at the
end of the Road to the Sun. All we have to do is get there first.”
