Dale couldn’t believe that. They had space travel. There was no way that they could have invented space travel without some means of communicating between the space ship and the ground, and it logically followed that even if they hadn’t thought of some kind of long distance communication device before that, they would have thought of it before the first rocket launched, and furthermore, it would almost certainly have been something that had a good market value. Hadn’t Fisher made all their research money back and then some on Space Pens? He’d bought one.
