 Who is the 'dope' on Mars?
Trip time is supposed to take 260 days (that's one way), so we're aimed toward where Mars will be (had better be, or else). I still don't know Jones' first name, though Pat spoke to him, and it sounded like Flants. Also, I am one of the first five men in the history of the world to see the opposite side of the Moon, with a bluish blurred crescent beyond it that Pat said was the Earth. Actually, he explained to me, the screen is supposed to keep the image of space locked into place no matter how much we spin. With Martian rime, Venusian slime, And a radioactive hoe.
