I kind of hesitated in submitting this one. While there are no great sci-fi effects as one might expect in a space flight story, the irony of the whole episode made up for it.

Loved it. The story recalls me of O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi".

I mean the final, not the whole story.

Ah, good bit of matching the storyline to a classic. The hair and the comb. I remember that one. Geez, I am an old fart... do you think that's required reading for kids these days? I'm thinking no.

No, only a basic pattern recognition is required:

Re: Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow
I loved this episode; it has the exactly what made the show so good. The plots, when at their best, are so unexpected but still so seamless. When I try to figure out what is going to happen next, when I am sure I know what is going to happen next, I am so very wrong, but I feel that the ending is inevitable. It makes them so satisfying.

Did anyone else notice the big flaw in their calculation for how long it would take for him to get there? 141 light years x 2 = 282 light years. The craft goes 70 times the speed of light. 282/70 = 4.02, not 40.

I dunno what you mean by "much." I'll ask your mom next time I see her.
