By the time McCauley was a colonel, all those things had been done.
But oddly enough, it didn't seem that the job was finished. The more
that was done, the more remained to be done. And McCauley found
that things never got any more settled down. There was Venus to be
explored, right next door, and Mercury just beyond that. And Titan
looked promising, and of course there were the asteroids, of which
one or two urgently required examination. And even when there were
settlements on Saturn and Uranus and Neptune, there were rumors of
a planet beyond Pluto.... And after that, the stars.
There'd never be any end to the journeyings of men into space.)
