The next day they returned to the base,
and Kor-Neev caught up with the work
that had gone on in their absence, but
a short time later she grew restless, and
wanted to travel to other locations again.
She insisted upon visiting farms and
ranches, then she wanted to visit a major
city in every corner of the country. That
procedure took two months, and Nathan
began to fret and wondered how fit he
would be to captain the ship after having
been away from the project for so long.
But at the end of that tour, Kor-Neev
was satisfied, and they were able to
return to the base. Nathan resumed his
studies and training at a manic pace and
level of intensity. One day, when he was
studying Kor-Neev entered the room
rather forcefully.
“I bear welcome news,” she said.
“What is it?” Nathan asked.
“I have reviewed the design schematics,
and five essential adjustments have been
made. Your ship design is now adequate
and space-worthy. Congratulations are
in order. You are going to the 4 th planet.”

The construction of the ship progressed
at an increasing pace as they drew
closer to its completion, but the USS
Teddy Roosevelt was not the only object
that was built in orbit. A scaffolding
designed for the purpose of providing
support, housing for construction crews,
and equipment was built along with
it, and it was to become a permanent
outpost in orbit, or space station, which
would be continually manned.
Men and supplies were carried to and
from the space station by rockets. The
first capsules were carried by two stage
rockets, but later on a second larger
capsule was created, which used a more
powerful one stage rocket to propel the
capsules beyond the atmosphere. The
capsules themselves were reusable, and
after each run they would parachute into
the ocean where US Navy vessels would
pick them up.

Kor-Neev spent a good deal of her time
teaching the Krenth language to those
who were interested. Nathan spent as
much time as he could spare learning
from her, and eventually he knew
enough to read in her language, and to
make basic requests. For some reason,
he seemed to have a natural aptitude or
affinity for the Krenth language.
The Martian woman allowed her skin
to return to its normal color. It took
two weeks for the color to fade away,
and throughout that process she looked
like a human woman with dirty skin.
However, even after her skin reverted
to its normal color, she continued to
dress like an Earth woman. She said she
had only brought a handful of outfits
from Mars with her, so it was for the
sake of expediency that she wore Earth
style clothing.
After fourteen months of work,
following the construction of the orbital
space station, the ship was completed.
The scientists were not satisfied and
wanted to conduct an endless array of
tests. Kor-Neev assured them that that
