Notes
- "The Martian Barrier" is set on 1968, 10 years after the publishing of this issue, the future then. The story implies the Martians copy their science from Earth.
- "Back Window Into Space" is set in 1960, 2 years after the publication of this issue, the future then. The story implies that 1960s science would be able to launch a rocket that could reach Mercury in 3 days. Today, in Real world, the time it takes for a spacecraft to travel to Mercury depends on several factors, including the trajectory used and the speed of the spacecraft. MESSENGER Mission (NASA): Launched on August 3, 2004. Arrived at Mercury on March 18, 2011. Total travel time: approximately 6 years and 7 months. In summary, with current technology and propulsion methods, the shortest possible travel time for an unmanned rocket to reach Mercury, without considering gravity assists, could be around 3-4 months, but practical missions typically take longer due to the need for complex trajectories to manage fuel consumption and orbital mechanics.
