Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

The Gold at Starbow's End
Should NASA fake a need to for a space program? Hmmm...I think I've read this plot somewhere (several wheres). Most appropriately, here, by this author.
Thanks for the mention. And like Star, I'm all for anything that gets us up and out there.
