The Operations Manager, Project Gossamer, attracted Morgan's attention with a slightly embarrassed cough.

"We still have one minor problem, Doctor," she said. "We're quite confident about the lowering - all the tests and computer simulations are satisfactory, as you've seen. It's reeling the filament in again that has Station Safety worried."

Morgan blinked rapidly; he had given little thought to the question. It seemed obvious that winding the filament back again was a trivial problem, compared to sending it out. All that was needed, surely, was a simple power-operated winch, with the special modifications needed to handle such a fine, variable-thickness material. But he knew that in space one should never take anything for granted, and that intuition - especially the intuition of an earth-based engineer - could be a treacherous guide.
