My Vision Was Less Than 20/20

My Vision Was Less Than 20/20 – By Earl Best

Born in 1947 to two native New Yorkers. I attended PS 197 starting in fourth grade when it opened. I never knew my eyesight was below par until my fifth-grade teacher gave me a note to give to my parents.

The contents: I could not see the writing on the black board.

Next stop – ophthalmologist’s office for my first pair of eyeglasses.

It was as if a new world existed beyond what I always knew as normal reality.

USS Encounter’s four man crew had two woman astronauts. Encounter launched from Cape Canaveral. No sooner had acceleration reached 1/3 lightspeed, than they had to begin deceleration burn. The micro-fusion drive meant the ship met all their needs for 44 years. Their first low-orbit survey revealed a continental layout identical to Earth’s. Encounter was met by a new ship—four man crew—called Encounter. The astronauts prepared to meet themselves.
