Summary
When Fëanor spoke again, he was softer. “Did you see it, Nolvo? Like a new star crossing the sky. They’ve beaten us, and good. Boy, I’d love to get my hands on the tech in their cosmodrome, wouldn’t you? Maybe I’ll call up—”
This time, it was Nerdanel who interrupted, her voice a warning. Maedhros couldn’t quite make out the words, but her meaning was clear: Shut up, smarty-pants!
“Of course,” Fëanor returned to the phone, reverting to his clear, didactic tone, “I’m exaggerating for effect, as I’m known to. I would never defect or betray my country…. No, Professor, you won’t. I’m afraid you’ll need to handle this one yourselves. I will not be bought, and I’ll be much obliged if you don’t call with such offers again.”
The Space Race begins when Doriath launches the world's first artificial satellite. Fëanor, a renowned astrophysicist of Aman, becomes obsessed with the potential of radio astronomy to contact the far reaches of the universe. Maedhros grows up and takes on his father's cause. Years later, a message is received.
