How will people in the future think of Earth? Nicki asks Trevelyan what Earth is like:
"Within him, his mind wondered what to say. Could he tell her that Earth was less a planet and a population than it was a dream?" (p. 68)
To James Blish's John Amalfi, Earth is an idea. To Poul Anderson's Trevelyan Micah, it is a dream. To us, it is home.

Kaor, Paul!
But I can imagine future generations of humans on other worlds coming to think of Earth as Terra, Manhome, Mother Earth, Old Earth. A planet which had become legendary, enshrouded by myths and dreams.
Ad astra! Sean
