Jeff made a sound of irritation. ‘For Christ’s sake, Mitchell. The guy had an affair with my wife, is all.’

‘Your ex-wife,’ Mitchell reminded him. ‘And it’s still bothering you?’

‘Maybe not so much recently,’ said Jeff, knowing that it was a lie. ‘It was a long time ago but, ever since me and Olivia got back together . . .’

Future-Mitchell nodded like he understood. ‘Sure.’

Jeff sucked in air, then expelled it in a rush. ‘Anyway, what about the space-dive?’

‘Your friends at the company, they also run flights to the Moon for rich idiots, am I right?’

‘Sure, on replicas of the original Apollo rockets, that kind of thing, along with the standard VASIMRs.’

‘“VASIMRs”?’

‘Variable impulse plasma ships,’ Jeff explained. ‘They can get to the Moon an awful lot faster than . . .’ Jeff paused, his eyes widening. ‘Fuck me, are you suggesting what I think you are?’

Mitchell nodded. ‘You need to get in touch with them right away, find out if they’re willing to take us up to Copernicus on board one of their ships.’ He stepped over to the door and pulled it open. ‘We might not get ourselves to the Moon the same wa as most people, but we sure as hell can fly there if we want to.’
