Summary "Space Tug" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Joe Kenmore, an astronaut embarking on a critical mission to deliver supplies and defense systems to the recently constructed Space Platform, Earth's first artificial satellite. As tensions rise due to international threats over the Platform's existence, Joe and his crew face both mechanical challenges and geopolitical dangers, setting the stage for a high-stakes journey through space. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Joe Kenmore, who is anxious about a mission to deliver vital supplies to the Space Platform orbiting Earth, just as he faces the overwhelming pressures of a rocket launch. Alongside his crew—Chief Bender, Haney, and the little but fierce Mike—they strive to execute a flawless launch despite their many worries and the sinister backdrop of potential sabotage. As countdowns occur and the ship prepares for takeoff, the pressure mounts, underscored by Joe's realization of dire consequences if their mission fails. The narrative intricately blends technical challenges with emotional stakes, crafting a multi-layered opening that promises thrilling action and complex character dynamics as they confront danger in outer space.
