Orbital Rendezvous
- The spaceship docks on a space station.
- Floyd is met by Nick Miller, station security.
- Floyd adjusts to the weightlessness and moves gingerly into the station.
- He calls home and talks to his housekeeper and gives her instructions to take care of everything now that he's left suddenly.
- Again, effort to make Floyd into a real person is a failure. Sorry, Shmoopers.
- While he's talking Dmitri Moisevitch, a U.S.S.R. (or Russian) scientist shows up.
- He's good friends with Floyd, but Floyd doesn't want to talk to him because Floyd has secrets.
- A lot of this novel feels like moving characters around so they can get to the cool scenes in the movie.
