Explore "The Last Space Ship" by Murray Leinster on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Kim Rendell stood by the propped-up _Starshine_ in the transport / hall of the primary museum on Alphin III. He regarded a placard under / the space-ship with a grim and entirely mirthless amusement. He was / unshaven and hollow-cheeked. He was even ragged. He was a pariah / because he had tried to strike at the very foundation of civilization. / He stood beside the hundred-foot, tapering hull, his appearance marking / him as a blocked man. And he re-read the loan-placard within the / railing about the exhibit:
Citizens, be grateful to Kim Rendell, who shares with you the / pleasure of contemplating this heirloom.
