The Envoy departed on schedule with no mishaps.  During the early part of the voyage her daily reports were picked up with ease by private listeners.  As she drew away and signals became fainter, they were picked up and rebroadcast by Earth's radio satellites.  The crew seemed to be both healthy and happy.  An epidemic of ringworm was the worst that Dr. Smith had to cope with - the crew adapted to free fall quickly and no antinausea drugs were used after the first week.  If Captain Brant had any disciplinary problems, he did not choose to report them to Earth.
