X minus 60.

The gigantic hull of the mighty spacer stretched into the sky. The cloud ceiling over the spaceport was
1500 feet but the great bird of space pierced it, its streamlined bill reappearing at close to 2500 altitude.

X minus 50.

Dense cloud formations drifted past the faintly gleaming fuselage at about half its height, concealing its
upper structure and somehow magnifying its 600-foot diameter to more massive proportions than usual.
The ship gave the impression of being some great tower out of ancient time. There where it pierced the
drifting cloud cover was an impression of centuries-old battlements but its colossal tail fins finally forced a

The frantic agitation in theGanymede тАЩs command centre had subsided. The programmed computer
directed the work and timing of all mechanical operations of the ship. Lift-off for Earth was imminent. The
clouds and the bow of the spacer were still reflecting the light of the red sun Voga, a supergiant solar
beacon, celestial energy source for 15 planets. The giant tail fins still rested on the synthetic surface of the
launch base at Tagnor.
