Space Suits and Tugs - Atomic Rockets. Captain Stone sighed. Will your scooter take three?! It's got Reynolds saddles; set any balance you need.
She remembered from long habit to cut the throttle but only after a period of aimless acceleration, for she had been chucked around in her saddle, thrown against her belts, and could not at first find the throttle. Quickly she checked things over.
There was not much that could go wrong with the little craft, it being only a rocket motor, an open rack with saddles and safety harness, and a minimum of instruments and controls. It was the gyros, of course; the motor had been sweet and hot. They were hunting the least bit, she found, that being the only evidence that they had just tumbled violently. Delicately she adjusted them by hand, putting her helmet against the case so that she could hear what she was doing. Only then did she try to find where they were and where they were going. Let's see—the Sun is over there—and that's Betelgeuse over yonder—so City Hall must be out that way. She ducked her helmet into the hemispherical .
How many Americans personally own guns, and what do they use them for? A recent Gallup Poll* shows that 3 in 10 Americans personally own a gun; most gun owners say.
She looked around for it, was startled to discover how far away it was. They must have coasted quite a distance while she was fiddling with the gyros. She measured the vector in amount and direction, then whistled.
There were, she thought, few grocery shops out that way—darn few neighbors of any sort. But she kept trying to call Mrs. Eakers, or anyone else in range of her suit radio while she again lined up the ship for City, with offset to compensate for the new vector.
She was cautious and most alert this time—in consequence she wasted only a few seconds of fuel when the gyros again tumbled. She unclutched the gyros and put them out of her mind, then took careful measure of the situation. The Eakers dump was now a planetary light in the sky, shrinking almost noticeably, but it was still the proper local reference point.
She did not like the vector she got. As always, they seemed to be standing still in the exact center of a starry globe—but her instruments showed them speeding for empty space, headed clear outside the node. Carefully she lined up the craft by flywheel; carefully she checked it when it tried to swing past. She aimed both to offset the new and disastrous vector and to create a vector for City Hall.
She intentionally left the gyros unclutched. Then she restrapped Lowell in his saddle, checked its position.
Without gyros the craft must be balanced just so. When the blip suddenly slipped off to one side she cut the throttle quickly.

Again she checked her vector. Their situation was somewhat improved. Again she called for help, not stopping to cut the child out of hearing. He said nothing and looked grave. She went through the same routine, cutting power again when the craft . A dozen times she tried it.

On the last try the thrust stopped with the throttle still wide open. With all fuel gone there was no need to be in a hurry. She measured her vector most carefully on the Eakers' ship, now far away, then checked the results against the City Hall blip, all the while calling for help. She ran through the figures again; in a fashion she had been successful.
They were now unquestionably headed for City Hall, could not miss it by more than a few miles at most—almost jumping distance. But, while the vector was correct in direction, it was annoyingly small in quantity—six hundred and fifty miles at about forty miles an hour; they would be closest in about sixteen hours. Roger Stone explained. The twins looked at each other.
He then said in a flat voice, . You failed to report it to the Captain. That could be really bad.
Start thinking instead. We've got to reconstruct it.? Look, the pesky thing tumbles, then anything can happen.
What would Hazel do in this situation?? Left can be any direction.!
You asked what Hazel would do. She'd be along her homing line, of course—and Hazel always oriented around her drive line so as to get the Sun on the back of her neck, if possible. Her eyes aren't too good. When you put in the right coordinates, that is. But what else would she do? You'd vector back—I mean vector home.? She'd ride that thing like a broomstick.
They'll be looking for her in a cone with its vertex at Eakers'—and they ought to be looking in a cone with its vertex right here, and along one side of it at that. It seemed probable that no one else could possibly pilot it. Not only was it of vintage type, repaired with parts from many other sorts, but also the controls were arranged for a man with four hands.
Charlie had been in free fall so long that he used his feet almost as readily for grasping and handling as does an ape; his space suit had had the feet thereof modified so that he could grasp things between the big toe and the second, as with Japanese stockings. The crate was old but Charlie had exceptionally large tanks on it; it could maintain a thrust for plenty of change- of- motion. Its jet felt as sweet as any. But it had no radar of any sort. The twins had never seen one, knew how it worked only by theory. They were radar pilots, not used to conning by the seats of their suits.
Seeing their faces Charlie added, . Anywhere within twenty miles of the City Hall, I don't even turn on my suit jet—I just jump. Once in free fall Charlie taught them how to handle the compass loop. If you pick up a signal, swing the loop until it's least loud. That's the direction of the signal—an arrow right through the middle of the loop.?
The loop faces both ways. Or guess wrong and go back and try again. Now he blasted back as much as he had accelerated, bringing them dead in space relative to City Hall and the node. He gave it a gentle extra bump to send them cruising slowly back the way they had come. Pollux listened, slowly swinging his loop. Castor strained his eyes, trying to see something, anything, other than the cold stars. Pollux cautiously tried for a minimum, then swung the loop, and tried again.
He pointed, indicating that it had to be one of two directions, a hundred and eighty degrees apart. Either direction was equally likely. Charlie gunned it hard in the direction he had picked, roughly toward Vega. He had hardly cut the gun and let it coast in free fall when Pollux was nodding vigorously. They coasted for some minutes, with Pollux reporting the signal stronger and the minimum sharper .
Castor longed for radar. By now he could hear crying in his own phones. It could be Buster—it must be Buster. Castor could not see anything, even though old Charlie pointed it out to him.
At last he got it—a point of light, buried in stars. Pollux unplugged from the compass when it was clear that what they saw was a mass, not a star, and in the proper direction. Old Charlie handled his craft as casually as a bicycle, bringing them up to it fast and killing his headway so that they were dead with it. He insisted on making the jump himself.
