"Bodoni withdrew hastily from the rocket. Silence. All still slept. Tying himself into a hammock, he closed his eyes. To himself he prayed, Oh, let nothing happen to the illusion in the next six days. Let all of space come and go, and red Mars come up under our ship, and the moons of Mars, and let there be no flaws in the color film. Let there be three dimensions; let nothing go wrong with the hidden mirrors and screens that mold the fine illusion. Let time pass without crisis."
This story was quite cute. Bodoni did a good thing and he wanted things to be fair with the children. If he did pick a child to sent into space there would be a ton of envy against that child. Bodoni wanted space for all the children so he created a rocket that was like a 3D adventure for them. It was so cute. It did end up working and the children did think they went to space and back. The children were treated equally. At the end of the trip everyone was happy and it was an accomplishment. I felt like the wife was very negative in this story. She didn't want to see the children upset but she really didn't believe Bodoni could do it. It defiantly proved her wrong.
