The Hyperdrive: It'll make a trip of a million miles feel like a light year.
— Galactic Civilizations II note
"A passageway through what?" scoffed Carey. "Subspace? Hyperspace? That's just nonsense they make up for scientifilms!"
Smith, to me, represents the last of a valiant but doomed race—the writers of the Buck Rogers-Flash Gordon school. The time is fast disappearing—at least in the better science-fiction magazines—when the author, in a difficult situation, can, "—turn to his micro-ultra-philmeter, he rapidly tore out a dozen connections, spot-welded twenty-seven busbars, and converted the machine into an improved von Krockmeier hyperspace lever, which bent space like the blade of a rapier and hurtled him in a flash from hilt to point—" My apologies to Theodore Sturgeon for that quote.

I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can
I've travelled through the time warp in the Psycho Plan
They say a gal must travel for to find her superman
And yes, I did, I did, I did.
