<p>“It is.”</p>
<p>Roger smiled confidently, but Herbert merely stared coldly.</p>
<p>“You have a peculiar attitude for a candidate, Manning.”</p>
<p>“Is there a prescribed attitude, Mr. Herbert?” Roger asked, his smile broadening. “If there is, I’ll be only too glad to conform to it.”</p>

<p>Herbert’s face twitched almost imperceptibly. Then he nodded, made a notation on a pad and returned to his post at the head of the gaping line of boys. “From now on, Candidate Manning, you will be responsible for your own belongings.”</p>
<p>Tom, Astro, and Philip Morgan stepped on the slidestairs and began their spiraling ascent to the forty-second floor.</p>
<p>“I saw what happened at the monorail station,” drawled the third member of Section 42-D, leaning against the bannister of the moving belt. “By the craters of Luna, that Manning felluh sure is a hot operator.”</p>

<p>The members of Section 42-D looked at Roger questioningly.</p>
<p>“I don’t know if we have time.” Tom was dubious.</p>
<p>“Sure you have⁠—plenty. I’d hop off and take a look myself but I’ve got to get this junk ready to ship home.” He indicated the pile of bags in front of him.</p>
<p>“Aw, come on, Tom, let’s take a look!” urged Astro. “They have the old <i>Space Queen</i> in here, the first ship to clear Earth’s gravity. Boy, I’d sure like to see her!” Without waiting for the others to agree, the huge candidate stepped off the slidestairs.</p>

<p>“Hey, Astro!” yelled Tom. “Wait! I don’t think⁠—” His voice trailed off as the moving stair carried him up to the next floor.</p>
<p>But then a curious thing happened. As other boys came abreast of the museum floor and saw Astro they began to get off and follow him, wandering around gazing at the relics of the past.</p>
<p>Soon nearly half of the cadet candidates were standing in silent awe in front of the battered hull of the <i>Space Queen</i>, the first atomic-powered rocket ship allowed on exhibition only fifty years before because of the deadly radioactivity in her hull, created when a lead baffle melted in midspace and flooded the ship with murderous gamma rays.</p>

<p>They stood in front of the spaceship and listened while Astro, in a hushed voice, read the inscription on the bronze tablet.</p>
<p>“⁠—Earth to Luna and return. 7th March 2051. In honor of the brave men of the first atomic-powered spaceship to land successfully on the planet Moon, only to perish on return to Earth. …”</p>

<p>Taking a deep breath McKenny launched into a blistering tirade. His choice of words were to be long remembered by the group and repeated to succeeding classes. Storming against the huge Venusian like a pygmy attacking an elephant, McKenny roared, berated and blasted.</p>
<p>Later, when Astro finally reached his quarters and changed into the green coveralls of the cadet candidates, Tom and Phil crowded around him.</p>
<p>“It was Roger, blast him!” said Tom angrily. “He was getting back at you because Cadet Herbert made him carry his own gear.”</p>
<p>“I asked for it,” grumbled Astro. “Ah, I should’ve known better. But I just couldn’t wait to see the <i>Queen</i>.” He balled his huge hands into tight knots and stared at the floor.</p>

<p>“Now hear this!!!”</p>
<p>A voice suddenly rasped over the PA system loud-speaker above the door. “All cadet candidates will come to attention to receive the Space Academy oath from Commander Walters.” The voice paused. “<em>AT-TENT-SHUN!</em> Cadet candidates⁠—Staaaaannnnd <em>TO</em>!”</p>
<p>“This is Commander Walters speaking!” A deep, powerful voice purred through the speaker. “The Academy oath is taken individually.</p>
<p>“It is something each candidate locks in his spirit, his mind and his heart. That is why it is taken in your quarters. The oath is not a show of color, it is a way of life. Each candidate will face as closely as possible in the direction of his home and swear by his own individual God as he repeats after me.”</p>
<p>Astro stepped quickly to the window port and gazed into the blue heavens, eyes searching out the misty planet Venus. Phil Morgan thought a moment, and faced toward the wall with the inlaid star chart of the sky, thinking of sun-bathed Georgia. Tom Corbett stared straight at a blank wall.</p>
<p>Each boy did not see what was in front of him yet he saw further, perhaps, than he had ever seen before. He looked into a future which held the limitlessness of the universe and new worlds and planets to be lifted out of the oblivion of uncharted depths of space to come.</p>
<p>They repeated slowly. …</p>
<p> … I solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution of the Solar Alliance, to obey interplanetary law, to protect the liberties of the planets, to safeguard the freedom of space and to uphold the cause of peace throughout the universe … to this end, I dedicate my life!”</p>
