Not only that, we're rich! "She checks down to the last dimension," Bob chortled, working with slide-rule and logarithm tables. Moments later, they were outside the ship, with star-powdered infinity spread to all sides. The ethergram read: Received your advertising literature a week ago. Will pay $5.00 per ton. And if The Interplanetary Hauling & Moving Co., hadn't been about to go on the rocks (chiefly due to the activities of Saylor & Saylor, a rival firm) neither Bob nor Queazy would have thought of sending an answering ethergram to Burnside stating that they would fill the order. And yet, if by some chance there was such a rigidly specified asteroid, their financial worries would be over. That they had actually discovered the asteroid, using their mass-detectors in a weight-elimination process, seemed like an incredible stroke of luck. Now it was a fad that was sweeping Earth, and Burnside wasn't the first rich man who had decided to hold a wedding on top of an asteroid. Now that he and Queazy had found the asteroid, they were desperate to get it to its destination, for fear that the Saylor brothers might get wind of what was going on, and try to beat them out of their profits. Which was not so far-fetched, because the firm of Saylor & Saylor made no pretense of being scrupulous. Now they scuffed along the smooth-plane topside of the asteroid, the magnets in their shoes keeping them from stepping off into space. They came to the broad base of the asteroid-wedge, walked over the edge and "down" the twelve-foot thickness. By the naked eye, they could see iron ore, quartz crystals, cinnabar, but he had the spectroscope and there was no reason why he shouldn't use it. He satisfied himself as to the exterior of the asteroid, and then sent the twin beams deep into its heart. The radiations from the sundered molecules traveled back up the beams to the atomic-whirl spectroscope. I'll let the Interplanetary Commission know you've infringed the law. He and Queazy caught up with her on the side of the asteroid they hadn't yet examined. It was a rough plane, completing the rigid qualifications Burnside had set down.
 Bob and Quezy work with Starre to come up with a solution to both their problems,
 Starre takes the asteroid back, and she goes back to living on it alone.  The Saylor brothers return and retrieve the asteroid again.  Bob and Quezy work with Starre to come up with a solution to both their problems,  Bob and Quezy deliver the asteroid, and Starre marries Mac.
