Explore "The Last Space Ship" by Murray Leinster on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He took his observations and swung the little ship about. He adjusted / the radiation-switch to throw off the transmitter-drive on near / approach to a sun. He aimed for the star Thom. Its fourth planet had / been subjugated to the Empire of Sinab ten years before, and freed by / the men of Ades six years since.
The _Starshine_ winked into being some twenty million miles / from it, and two hundred million from the star. Kim looked annoyed, / and then glanced at the relay and adjusted it again. He pointed / the _Starshine_ close to the planet's disk. He pressed the / transmitter-drive button. Instantly the ship was within mere thousands / of miles of the planet.
