short story
By Judith Merril

Synopsis

Twenty-four people are chosen to crew a ship to Sirius in the hopes of finding a new home for mankind.

History

First publication: Worlds Beyond, January 1951

Review

Merril does a Twilight Zone style story here, typical of the 1950s, but with the extra that this is a feminist story, before such stories existed in SF. Recommended.
