The Return of the Murians by Nat Schachner:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"THE SPACE VESSEL was traveling swiftly. Behind it stretched the vast, frightening reaches of interstellar space...

"Five thousand years, in which they lived and died and propagated; five thousand years without sight or sign of solid ground or the fresh, keen winds of heaven, without, snow or rain or mountains or oceans. "Night” and “day” were words whose meanings were long forgotten.

"They were born into a gleaming round of metal and the circumscribed depths of the eternal void..."


('The Return of the Murians' by Nat Schachner)
