Summary
A world ideal for life will have life on it?but don't expect ideal life!
On September the 24th, 1965, the Venusian spaceship Investigator floated gently to Earth in Times Square.
The sleek metal belly of the ship touched feather-light upon the asphalt "X" of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and stubby stabilizing legs extended from ports along the sides of the hull, bracing the ship's mass against dangerous rolling, leaving it hulking there like some metallic beetle at rest.
The sun was almost directly overhead, sending yellow-gold serpentine glints wriggling on the gleaming surface of the ship.
