How Long Had He Been Lost In Space? Slowly, Kirk Hammond pushed his way back to consciousness. He remembered then that there had been trouble – that his ship Explorer 19, earth s first manned satellite, had failed to orbit properly – that he had gone astray in space. Hammond looked up at the sky to get his bearings. He was a man who knew the constellations thoroughly, but it seemed to him there was something wrong with the stars. Something terribly, insanely wrong. Frantically he checked again. No, the vast star clock did not lie. The truth hit him then like an icy belt of terror. Either he was mad, or dead – or he had ben asleep in space for nearly a thousand centuries!
