Chapter 21 Birthday Party. The familiar strains of happy birthday hurled across 700 million miles of space at the velocity of light died away among the vision screens and instrumentation of the control deck. The Poole family grouped rather self consciously round the birthday cake on earth, lapsed into a sudden silence. Then Mr Poole senior said gruffly. Well frank, I can't think of anything else to say at the moment except that our thoughts are with you and we're wishing you the happiest of birthdays. Take care, darling. Mrs Poole interjected tearfully. God bless you! There was a course of goodbyes and the vision screen went blank. How strange to think! Poole told himself that all this had happened more than an hour ago. By now his family would have dispersed again and its members would be miles from home. But in a way that time lag though, it could be frustrating. There's also a blessing in disguise like every man of his age. Pool took it for granted that he could talk instantly to anyone on Earth whenever he pleased. Now that this was no longer true, the psychological impact was profound. He had moved into a new dimension of remoteness and almost all emotional links had been stretched beyond the yield point. Sorry to interrupt the festivities. Said how but we have a problem. What is it, Bowman and Poole asked simultaneously. I am having difficulty in maintaining contact with Earth. The trouble is in the A- 35 unit. My fault prediction center reports that it may fail within 72 hours
