"At its best, SF is the medium in which our miserable certainty that tomorrow will be different from today in ways we can't predict, can be transmuted to a sense of excitement and anticipation, occasionally evolving into awe."
- John Brunner

| Astrogator's Masking Goggles | ||
| Allows better viewing of astrogation charts and displays. |
| "I’m taking the ship into space...."
The young astrogator stared at him and at the gun through masking goggles; then he sank into his seat with a slow shudder.
"...We are now somewhere near the orbit of the Moon. Isn’t that right, Arliess?”
ARLIESS turned his head at last, slowly, as if the movement were painful. His dispassionate goggles regarded the telltale needles that had come quiveringly alive on the radiodetector box between them, bluntly giving the lie to the automatic chart. Arliess jerked ineffectually in his clamps, cried out thickly. His eyes came stickily open behind their square goggles. |
