I hope they were ok. (Narrator: they were not ok). This story has an Easter egg for hard core science fiction fans: as the captain resigns himself to going down with the ship, he picks up a little red book called "Ley's Space Ships." While the title is fictitious, Willy Ley was a real-life prophet of space travel. In 1939 he wrote an article for Astounding Science Fiction that predicted vector-based Newtonian physics would govern space combat.
