ragged belt of his robe. Well, the range of these things is supposed to be

Oh. Oh, yes: around the curve of the Earth, farther east, the sun over 
there, just risen over in Holland, is striking the rocket's exhaust, drops 
and crystals, making them blaze clear across the sea. . . .
The white line, abruptly, has stopped its climb. That would be fuel cutoff, 
end of burning, what's their word . . . Brennschluss. We don't have one. Or 
else it's classified. The bottom of the line, the original star, has already 
begun to vanish in red daybreak. But the rocket will be here before Pirate 
sees the sun rise.
