This 1955 conquest of space adventure is a lot more clumsily written—both in the narration and the dialogue—than Leigh Brackett’s flip side story . But it’s still a lot of fun, filled with the spirit of hope that permeated the science fiction community then; even dystopias still tended to assume that we would colonize other planets far sooner than we hopefully will.
One interesting aspect is that, on recounting the trials of getting mankind into space, the mechanic character Pop Ridgeway notes that “We lost three fine ships with all their men.”
On the moon today, there is a Fallen Astronaut memorial plaque, which, among the astronaut deaths, there are three space flights listed, Apollo 1, Soyuz 1, and Soyuz 11.
Another interesting aspect is that robots are treated much like they were by Clifford Simak: as potential companions for mankind as mankind progresses into the void. They’re specifically meant to fill the void left by the dog and the horse, who did not, in this story, accompany us into space.
The “Space Sea” is the space between the orbit of Pluto in our solar system, and the outer orbits of other solar systems; the characters are all on Pluto preparing for the very first flight to the stars.
But sometimes, when you gaze into the void, the void punches you in the face.

Hikaye konusu bakımından dönemine göre çok ileriyi hayal etmiş. Daha insanların uzaya ayak basmadıkları, dünyadan başka gezene ulaşmadıkları bir zamanda. Çok ileri bir şeyi hayal etmek güzel bir şey. Bunun yanında hikaye çok yavan, hatta kötüye doğru kayıyor.
