The Troika Incident

by James Cooke Brown

"Throughout the recent winter of nineteen seventy-three and -four the world press has been greatly exercised by the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of the spacecraft Troika-7. As everyone knows, the two-week interval between the spacecraft's disappearance on the morning of its launching on December 10 and its sudden reappearane on the evening of December 24 has been filled by the most contradictory accounts of the revolutionary craft's behavior.

Three astronauts share the story of their visit to earth, 100 years in the future, with a science journalist.
