The
crew
had
a
well
-
rounded
group
of
skills
,
although
in
some
cases
their
secondary
skills
had
been
acquired
by
intensive
coaching
during
the
last
weeks
before
blast
-
off
.
More
important
,
they
were
mutually
compatible
in
their
temperaments
.
Too
compatible
,
perhaps
.
The
Envoy
departed
on
schedule
with
no
mishaps
.
During
the
early
part
of
the
voyage
her
daily
reports
were
picked
up
with
ease
by
private
listeners
.
As
she
drew
away
and
signals
became
fainter
,
they
were
picked
up
and
rebroadcast
by
Earth
’
s
radio
satellites
.
The
crew
seemed
to
be
both
healthy
and
happy
.
An
epidemic
of
ringworm
was
the
worst
that
Dr
.
Smith
had
to
cope
with
-
the
crew
adapted
to
free
fall
quickly
and
no
antinausea
drugs
were
used
after
the
first
week
.
If
Captain
Brant
had
any
disciplinary
problems
,
he
did
not
choose
to
report
them
to
Earth
.
The
Envoy
achieved
a
parking
orbit
just
inside
the
orbit
of
Phobos
and
spent
two
weeks
in
photographic
survey
.
Then
Captain
Brant
radioed
:
"
We
will
attempt
a
landing
at
1200
tomorrow
GST
just
south
of
Lacus
Soli
.
"
No
further
message
was
ever
received
.
It
was
a
quarter
of
an
Earth
century
before
Mars
was
again
visited
by
humans
.
Six
years
after
the
Envoy
was
silent
,
the
drone
probe
Zombie
,
sponsored
jointly
by
the
Geographic
Society
and
La
Socit
Astronautique
Internationale
,
bridged
the
void
and
took
up
an
orbit
for
the
waiting
period
,
then
returned
.
The
photographs
taken
by
the
robot
vehicle
showed
a
land
unattractive
by
human
standards
;
her
recording
instruments
confirmed
the
thinness
and
unsuitability
of
the
Arean
atmosphere
to
human
life
.
But
the
Zombie
’
s
pictures
showed
clearly
that
the
"
canals
"
were
engineering
works
of
some
sort
and
there
were
other
details
which
could
only
be
interpreted
as
ruins
of
cities
.
A
manned
expedition
on
a
major
scale
and
without
delay
surely
would
have
been
mounted
had
not
World
War
III
intervened
.
But
the
war
and
the
delay
resulted
eventually
in
a
much
stronger
,
safer
expedition
than
that
of
the
lost
En
my
.
The
Federation
Ship
Champion
,
manned
by
an
all
-
male
crew
of
eighteen
experienced
spacemen
and
carrying
more
than
that
number
of
male
pioneers
,
made
the
crossing
under
Lyle
Drive
in
only
nineteen
days
.
The
Champion
landed
just
south
of
Lacus
Soli
,
as
Captain
van
Tromp
intended
to
search
for
the
Envoy
.
The
second
expedition
reported
to
Earth
by
radio
daily
,
but
three
despatches
were
of
more
than
scientific
interest
.
The
first
was
:
"
Rocket
Ship
Envoy
located
.
No
survivors
.
"
The
second
worldshaker
was
:
"
Mars
is
inhabited
.
"
The
third
was
:
"
Correction
to
despatch
23
-
105
:
One
survivor
of
Envoy
located
.
"
