‘Looks like a giant oil drum if you ask me,’ commented the cat when Sky got called away to take a phone call.

‘I’m serious. You humans are mad trying to go into space in one of those things. You know, right, that there’s a reason why no other species on this planet have ever tried to build something like this?’
‘Well, yeah, because none of them are smart enough and only humans have fingers.’
‘Wrong! Because none of them ever thought it reasonable to want to strap themselves into soda cans full of highly explosive fuel.’
‘Hey, you’ll never guess what,’ said Sky, rejoining them. ‘We’ve just been invited to go and watch an astronaut training session in the main pool complex. It’s really cool. They enter the pool wearing their full space suits and use the deep water to help simulate what it will be like when they need to carry out space walks for real.’
