Greg tried desperately to find an illegal method of joining his family on Mars; for the law said that no healthy man could land on a--

"We won the Patagonian trust case," Greg Marson's jubilant tones filled the apartment--the hall in which he stood, the automatic kitchen in the rear, the living quarters, bedroom and nursery in between.
But no one replied. Greg let his bulging, expensive briefcase slip to the floor, strode through the empty hall, poked his head into the kitchen, then entered the nursery.
Dennis dashed to his father on two-year-old legs, and baby Phyllis gurgled twice in her pen. Greg wrinkled his nose in puzzlement, then punched the babyviewer.
"You can cut service," he told the girl whose blonde head appeared on the screen.
She nodded, counted on her fingers, and said: "That will be seven hours of viewing. No extras. The children behaved beautifully."
The screen darkened. Greg stared foolishly at it, then turned to Dennis.
"Where'd your mother go?"
Dennis smiled vaguely, and began to tinker with his molecule builder. Phyllis gurgled again.
Greg looked at the remains of the lunch that had hopped automatically from its can at noon, and the lowered reservoir of milk in the baby's feeder.
