Description
Murray Leinster wrote Men into Space, a tale in a Berkley form put out in October 1960. Rights rest with Ziv Television Productions, from the year 1960. The tale opens in deep space, where naught has weight at all. A cent piece and a great ship weigh the same there, which is naught.
Ed McCauley strikes a match in the still air of his small room in space. The flame flares as a ball, not as the leaf form it takes on Earth. It then dies, and leaves a ball of white smoke in its place. A note tells that McCauley was a new first rank man when space trips were for bots alone. No man had yet gone up in a rocket and come back safe.
