Anti-gravity may be hard
to handle—but a woman
scorned is still harder!

Maybe Helene's right in saying that I shouldn't tell exactly how our living room became the training station for Space Satellite One. If I don't, though, I'm afraid she'll let it slip out as a deep dark secret to one of her tri-dielectronic bridge friends and it'll be all over the Project as quickly as a pile past critical mass. It certainly wouldn't help my reputation at the labs, especially if in the retelling the facts should become distorted about Gladys, the gently orbiting blonde.
Some of it was accidental, certainly, but didn't Wilhelm Roentgen get brushed by the breeze of chance?
