‘By using atomic acceleration, we can slingshot the fleet toward a rendezvous with Ceres by way of Saturn—if it’s still there when we arrive,’ she added with dark humor. ‘The orders have already gone out for the Saturnians to prepare blocks of frozen hydrogen for launch.

Without that fuel, we will not be able to slow down enough to be effective when we reach Ceres at the intercept point.’ |
