'MISSION TO THE ARGO'Generations have passed and there is still no sign of the Creators. Radio telescopes have provided no hints. Meanwhile rocketry has improved and there is now the technical feasibility of going out into deep space themselves.Further development in theoretical physics has opened up the possibility of time travel, but this takes enormous energies and would destroy all life within a few light-hours, a radius the size of their solar system.Even if time travel is adopted as a way of going back to the Creators, it will still require deep-space capability as one of the steps. Eventually sliding back to meet the Creators is vetoed by the politicians.Instead, a generation ship will be sent to the nearest stars ''to''.look for the Creators or a sister race, and their descendants are to report back.Time sliding will be used ONLY to return to a date shortly after the launch date. But that's not what happen
