, .but heisn’t well, either. He has never before been in a one-gravity field. He nowweighs more than two and one half times what he is used to and his musclesaren’t up to it. He’s not used to Earth-normal air pressure. He’s not used toanything and the strain is likely to be too much for him. Hell’s bells,gentlemen,Pink Foampostites for sale, I’m dog tired myself just from being at one-gee again-and I wasborn on this planet.“The science minister looked contemptuous. .If acceleration fatigue is all thatis worrying you, let me assure you, my dear Captain, that we had anticipatedthat. His respiration and heart action will be watched carefully. We are notentirely without imagination and forethought. After all, I’ve been out myself. Iknow how it feels. This man Smith must-.
Captain van Tromp decided that it was time to throw a tantrum. He couldexcuse it by his own fatigue-very real fatigue, he felt as if he had just landedon Jupiter-and he was smugly aware that even a high councilor could notafford to take too stiff a line with the commander of the first successfulMartian expedition.
So he interrupted with a snort of disgust. .link! .This man Smith-. This .man!’
Can’t you see that that is just what he is not?“.Eh?“,coach canada.Smith ... is . . . not . . . a . . . man.“.Huh? Explain yourself, Captain.“.Smith is not a man. He is an intelligent creature with the genes and ancestryof a man, but he is not a man. He’s more a Martian than a man. Until wecame along he had never laid eyes on a human being. He thinks like aMartian, he feels like a Martian,Cheap Foamposites. He’s been brought up by a race which hasnothing in common with us. Why, they don’t even have sex. Smith has neverlaid eyes on a woman-still hasn’t if my orders have been carried out. He’s aman by ancestry, a Martian by environment. Now,foamposites for sale, if you want to drive himcrazy and waste that .treasure trove of scientific information,’ call in your fatheadedprofessors and let them badger him. Don’t give him a chance to getwell and strong and used to this madhouse
