Galaxy Magazine featured some of the TRULY PREMIER SCI-FI stories in the fifties, sixties and seventies!! BTW, some of these stories were featured in radio programs, such as "X Minus One." H.L.Gold was one of the better GM editors. GREAT STUFF!!! ; )
I suppose I could add that Cable-Satellite TV has featured some fine SF content, as well..such as the recent rebroadcast of the "Outer Limits" series (1990s edition) and the current rebroadcast of Star Trek-Voyager episodes. Some of this is TOP FLIGHT stuff!! Oh, there has also been a recent rebroadcast of the TV series "Humans." Of course, there is also some "pretty hot" CURRENT TV content, such as the programs "The 100" and "The Expanse."
This story is a scathing slure against the noble Frog Nation ! I've got a feeling that George Lucas has heard/read this story. Like Cameron and " Call Me Joe " by Poul Anderson. Not that he's ever admitted it, to my knowledge.
Hi Jack Mythos, thanks for listening. The cover art shown here (entitled "Robots Repaired While U Wait" by Ed Emshwiller) does not relate to any story within its issue of Galaxy. It is, however, reminiscent of Ray Bradbury's short story "Marionettes, Inc." which can be found here: th-cam.com/video/9hQSkHjhsxM/w-d-xo.html
One of the pilots calculates that the second satellite orbits the earth once every six hours. He goes on to say that an object traveling at such s terrific speed would be like a speeding bullet, invisible to the human eye. Of course, the ISS travels much faster than that (orbiting the earth every 90 minutes), it is tiny in comparison to the second satellite, and moves in a much higher altitude, but it can be easily seen.
I love the way the reader delivers this, it's a really unique style.
Love it ! Old school is the only way ... sci fi , horror , drama ... any and all
Thank you!
Very Enjoyable , thanks for posting .

FROG MEN!!!
Not much hard science in this fable. Even in 1930 the hypothesis outlined in this story would have been outlandish.
