That started a series, the first of which was:
Stobey and Slutter Fly to Super-Rock Playground
Stobey's and Slutter's families have moved to the Outer Region of the
Solar System and built homes on Jupiter's moon Callisto. Earthlings
were overrunning Mars.
One morning Stobey calls Slutter on her space visi-phone.
'Slutter,' says Stobey, 'let's get together.'
'Right,' Slutter answers. 'Where's a good place to meet?'
'If we leave now in our new spaceships, Coconut and Banana,' says
Stobey, 'we'll reach the space lanes' junction near the gate to Super-Rock
Playground on Moon Ganymede. Will you meet me there?'
'Yes,' Slutter says. 'I'll leave now in Banana and meet you where the
space lanes join. I'll be there in an hour, Stobey. See you.'
They switch off, dash for their spaceships and launch. Coconut and
Banana are fast, but the distance each must fly is so great that it will take
at least an hour to reach the junction.
Super-Rock is the children's playground in the outer region of our solar
system, which includes all the planets and space colonies beyond the
Asteroids.
