Scales of perception
The first story here about a carnival in space is not really about a carnival in space as much but just provides the setting for it. It is actually not such a bad story though it does rely on some unnecessary hyperbole. The next story is entertaining enough is slightly transparent about a cadet in the Galactic Patrol that is undergoing his final tests. Giants of the Telescope follows with a page on Edwin Hubble. A Space Cabbie story is next (his first appearance) in which he tracks down an invisible bandit on the moons of Saturn. There is a fact page on asteroids which follows and then a final story in which Bert Brandon has to help a female space racer lose weight before a big race. Overall this was an all right issue, though still pretty much middle of the ground.
