7 First Quotations from Otto Binder
| mind-controlled adj. | 1938 Life Eternal in Thrilling Wonder Stories Feb. ii. 73/2 Anton York willed himself out of his hypnotic state of bodily suspension. Mind-controlled relays turned on the various mechanisms that supplied heat, air, and artificial gravity. |
| Rhean adj. | 1937 Diamond Planetoid in Astounding Stories May 102/2 He looked like a gigantic black frog in the dull Saturn shine. Feeling suddenly quite alone, Welton fished with the radio receiver for something to relieve the dead silence…. The sputter of static gave way to music from a Rhean station. |
| spacewoman n. | 1937 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. |
| time loop n. | 1936 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. Why do we remember some things in our childhood vividly, and forget other events completely a week after hamppening? Simply—yet not so simply—because the successive loops of time are overlapping in places, far apart in others. |
| vac-suit n. | 1938 Wayward World in Astounding Stories Feb. 110/1 It was too much fun seeing you wabble out in a vac-suit, like a sea-diver diving in a dry Martian seabottom. |
| vac-suited adj. | 1939 Impossible World in Startling Stories Mar. 19/1 The rest of the men struggled into their vac-suits of neo-rubber. The two pilots helped them clamp the neck fittings of their helmets and clipped oxygen bottles to their belts…. Finally the eight vac-suited figures clumped out with their lead-weighted shoes and the air-lock hissed shut behind them. |
| vacuum-suited adj. | 1937 Diamond Planetoid in Astounding Stories May 108/2 ‘Archie, for John’s sake, get away—anywhere but there!’ Osgood’s vacuum-suited figure lumbered away from the diamond ’toid, as though he had heard. |
