It was the unknown that was before him--the unknown of the interstellar regions.
Therefore they would not be killed by the cold of interstellar space on their way from one heavenly body to another, and could become the seeds of life on another hitherto inanimate star.
That large numbers of tiny particles of matter exist in interstellar space and are precipitated on the heavenly bodies is proved by the cosmic dust that arctic explorers have collected from the surface of snow and ice.
That command will rank second only to the Governing Council itself; a body of men shall compose it who shall be known as the Interstellar Board of Control.
His ship was felted with the same material between its double walls; without it there would have been no resisting the cold of these interstellar reaches.
At one point he picked up some 'side splash' from the big interstellar beacon on Latham Alpha IV, leakage from the tight beam.
But we have nothing to promise--save the interstellar link of the Z-wave.
A bit of work and research, and the construction of a real interstellar Z-wave station would remove this fading.
I have had no opportunity to check this on an interstellar scale.
As you know, the interstellar beacon was erected on the top of the Z-wave Central Building.
Haedaecker's Theory is that the Z-wave will not cross interstellar space because of the lack of solar activity.
Paul, I do want to believe you, but isn't this a ever it is of basic interest to know that there was a civilized rather short distance as interstellar distances go?
But the Z-wave did not cross the gulf of interstellar space, and years of experimentation followed, all of which failed.
With Paul Grayson free to work on the interstellar Z-wave, the political campaign will get a transfusion of new blood.
True, both were criminals, but what possible attraction could Paul's grand dream ofinterstellar communications have for a thief, a felon, and a murderer?
To the untrained, even the solar planets blend with the interstellar reaches.
Has the Z-wave ever been tried in the depths of interstellar space?
He had connected the Z-wave equipment at Terra's Z-wave central to the big interstellar radio transmitter, lacking a Z-wave transmitter for his own use.
Then because this short distance did compare to true interstellar separation, Paul would have a talking point to make the big attempt across some real distance when one of the Beacon Stations checked in.
The Z-wave can't crossinterstellar space," he said.
Grayson's Principle is that the Z-wave can be made to cross interstellar space under one certain condition, and that this condition is a prime limitation even in intra-solar communications.
And to him, Bassett, had been vouchsafed the lordly fortune to be the first to receive this message from man's interstellar kin!
And--the everlasting miracle of that interstellar metal!
For centuries before the coming of interstellar travel, the islands had been used to a mixture of tongues and races, and the coming of the Empire had merely added to that mixture.
This one may be the final act that will bring on interstellar war.
Instead of steady expansion, she was forced into a deadly game of interstellar chess, making her plays carefully, so as not to touch off the explosive temper of her opponent.
You go on the interstellar hookup in twenty minutes, Sire.
Our civilization, like yours, is interstellarin scope.
IV Man's first sally across the gulf of interstellar space had been more fruitful than his first fumbling exploration of the Solar System by a score of one to nothing.
There had been a strong upsurge during the early years of the initial interstellar exploration.
Someday, Man hoped to fill the space lanes with spacecraft and the planets with interstellar commerce.
It was not hard for them to build a primitive spaceship, for the Makers had been on the verge of interstellar flight, and they flew it hopefully throughout the solar system, looking to see if the Makers were there.
Man had been in interstellarspace for three hundred years and this was the first uncovered evidence of an advanced, space-crossing, alien race.
Sidenote: Infinite diversity] While accompanying me in spirit in this interstellar voyage, you have passed several hours away from the Earth.
What wild flight of imagination could conceive an image surpassing that, of the interstellar voyage of light, stamping with the seal of eternity the transitory events of the life of each world?
Most of it was distributed throughout interstellar space in the form of individual atoms, freely floating in space, a long way from any large mass of normal matter.
It'll spoil any chance of our coming back and stealing some more food--like interstellar mice.
One of these vehement orators even asserted that Calhoun agreed that no other course was possible, speaking for the Interstellar Medical Service.
It was listed as an inhabited planet, some four hundred years colonized, with a landing-grid and at the time the main notice was written out, a flourishing interstellar commerce.
The Interstellar Medical service has proved that over and over!
Remind them of the Interstellar Medical Inspection Agreement, signed on Tralee two hundred and forty standard years ago.
It could let down interstellar liners from emptiness and lift them out to emptiness again, with great convenience and economy for everyone.
Aesclipus Twenty," he said patiently, "is a Med Ship, sent by the Interstellar Medical Service to make a planetary health inspection on Weald.
Presently there were eight ships making ready for an interstellar journey, each with a scared but resolute new pilot familiarizing himself with its controls.
So that ininterstellar medicine tormals were priceless.
But he did nothing on this journey which--teaching considered--was different from the two interstellar journeys Maril had made with him.
When we have plunged farther into the interstellar void, it will be well to stand watch and watch about at the telescope.
We can't go bobbing around throughinterstellar space," grumbled Popham.
In Ceyce a short two hours after she'd felled Mihul, Trigger called the interstellar spaceport and learned that the Dawn City was open to passengers and their guests.
She was requested to stand by while a personal interstellar transmission was switched to her ComWeb.
She knew just one individual affluent enough to be able to afford personal interstellar conversations; and that was Commissioner Tate.
Manning snaked us across billions of miles, clear out of the Solar System into interstellar space.
Out into the absolute wastes of interstellar space, where the stars were flecks of light, like tiny eyes watching from very far away.
After all, he was, in effect, a museum piece himself and so as worth preserving as the bicycles; moreover, bicycles are difficult to pack for an interstellar trip.
I was sitting between Kron Avar and one of the high brass from the Bureau of Interstellar Trade, a fellow named Hartmann.
It looked like an opening gambit for a fast sales talk on behalf of interstellar trade, a subject dear to his heart.
Interstellar freight costs are prohibitive where food is concerned.
Along the detector line a visibeam sped, and Costigan's face hardened as he saw the unmistakable outline of Nerado's interstellar cruiser, far behind them.
Thus it was that they were not left long in doubt, when another fish-shaped cruiser of the world was revealed upon their lookout plates in the awful emptiness of interstellar space.
But not for nothing had Conway Costigan selected for his dash for liberty the craft which, save only for the two immense interstellar cruisers, was the most powerful vessel ever built upon red Nevia.
Millions upon millions of stars have been photographed and these photographs will be invaluable in determining the future changes and motions of these giant suns of interstellar space.
We stand not bewildered but lost before the problem of interstellar space.
In order to get some idea of the vastness of interstellar space we may consider a few distances within the limits of human conception.
The first interstellar ship of Eight Colors was to bear the name Rupert Steele, but that was years in the future.
He was signing out for his first interstellar cruise on one of the Lhari ships.
Three, there'd be no interstellar supply line for the Stretts to cut.
And then their minds were out in interstellar space.
Once beyond the gravitational grip of its parent sun, the planet wandered through the darkness of interstellar space until it came within the influence of our own Sun.
Ahead, between them and the vast gulf of interstellar space, lay only the dark, mysterious ninth planet, the enigmatic world named after the lord of the underworld, Pluto.
Anybody who can cross interstellar space and warp the power of the Sun, can probably outshoot, outrun, and outfight us.
The cosmical masses from which comets are derived seem to traverse in great numbers the interstellar spaces.
That certain luminous meteors have entered the solar system from the interstellar spaces.
Some way of fixing things up for us without queering interstellar commerce?
But one necessary factor was involved in slower-than-light interstellar travel, one which the Cavour drive would have averted: the Fitzgerald Contraction.
Perhaps they will leave me alone for the month or two more I need to make my vessel suitable for interstellar drive.
There were the words he had read so many times: "The present system of interstellar travel is so grossly inefficient as to be virtually inoperable on an absolute level.
