Pete Harrison worries that the planned first trip to the moon might not go well, so to ease
his mind, he sneaks into the Temporal Research lab for an unauthorized trip to the middle of
next month to discern the trip’s outcome. But when he arrives, the only way to safely find
out the outcome is to track down yesterday’s newspaper, which proves exceedingly hard.
After much careful calculation, Peter decided to set the machine to project him to that
important Friday at around eleven o’clock in the morning.
