robot n.	1940 ‘E. Binder’ Adam Link Fights a War in Amazing Stories Dec. 11/1 I am a robot. A metal man with a brain of sponge iridium. I have gears and wheels and I run on a battery. True enough. But I have the mind of a man!
Solarian n. 2	1937 ‘E. Binder’ Blue Beam of Pestilence in Amazing Stories Dec. 129/2 Know this then, Solarians…. We saw your system and coveted it, for it is very like our own, sun, planets and all.
space exploration n.	1934 ‘E. Binder’ Eighty-Five & Eighty-Seven in Amazing Stories Oct. 94/1 Whatever plans you had in mind for space exploration in this well-built one-man rocket, I shall change them.
space scientist n.	1939 ‘E. Binder’ Impossible World in Startling Stories Mar. 28/2 There’s one man who might know—the Space Scientist!
space travel n.	1937 ‘E. Binder’ Conquest of Life in Thrilling Wonder Stories Aug. 30/2 Ten years of research on liquid and solid rocket fuels had convinced him space travel would not be achieved by that clumsy, wasteful means.
space tug n.	[1933 ‘E. Binder’ Murder on the Asteroid in Wonder Stories June 74/2 They would clamp his little boat onto a huge-engined space tug-boat.]
spacewoman n.	1937 ‘E. Binder’ S O S in Space in Astounding Stories Jan. 71/2 I’ve seen and met dozens of female spacemen—or spacewomen!—and not one, not a solitary one of them, was even remotely ‘charming’. Space hags, every one of them.
sub-ether n.	1936 ‘E.

time loop n.	1936 ‘E. Binder’ The Time Entity in Astounding Stories Oct. 76/2 Memory is another abstract quality hard to define, unless one thinks of reliving every instant over and over as often as the time loop curls back on itself.

Simply—yet not so simply—because the successive loops of time are overlapping in places, far apart in others.
