FAN.............................................15 open her helmet and commit suicide rather than wait till her oxygen supply is gone. After she opens her helmet in free space and sees that the ship is gone. "And something tenuous had clamped itself over her nose and mouth so that she could no longer breathe." Oooooh!! Apparently Perri never took into consideration that the human body is built to withstand thirty-two pounds of external pressure per square inch. To withstand this external pressure, the body is built with thirty-two pounds internal pressure to equalize it. Imagine what would happen if that outside pressure is taken away! The internal pressure would have nothing to hold it back -- she would explode! Have you ever seen a frog in a bell jar when the air is partially evacuated? It isn't a pleasant sight. The three occupants of the ship would have exploded when Eric opened the door for the first time when he discovered the primary door had been ripped off. I honestly can't see how this story was published. Can Perri know where Doc Lowndes hid the last body? Lowndes is as much to blame as Perri, if not more so. Come Doc, we can overlook a few errors in a story now and then, but let's pay a little more attention to our science. How any person could crowd so many errors in a meager three and a half pages is quite beyond me!........lew o o o o o o o o o # # # # o o o o o o o o o HAVE YOU MET THE PILOT OF SOLOROIDS? Chances are you haven't unless you've bought the first issue of Scientifun, the newest thing in fandom. If you have a spark of humor in your make-up, The Pilot of Soloroids will fan it into laughter. And there's other interesting material by fans only. The first 12-page issue of Scientifun, a 'Dixie Press' publication, is only 5¢ from Raymond Washington, Jr., Live Oak, Florida. . . Ex.
