...mile-high orbit above the polluted obscuring atmosphere and equipped with 11 telescopes, it has given astronomers a view of the skies unattainable on earth. In addition to its ultraviolet readings-which will almost surely contribute to knowledge about galactic structure-OAO II has discovered that young, "hot" stars are losing far more of their matter in the process of maturation than had hitherto been thought: as much as the mass of the earth in a single year. Data from the orbiting astronomical satellite has also confirmed the presence of graphite crystals in the intergalactic dust beyond the Milky...

Ornamenting Abe Burrows' stage hit (itself an adaptation of a French farce), Diamond outfits his confident cast with a situation as pretested as a lunar mission...
