Spaceships smaller than busses land on the surface,
so they're lined up in parking lots.
'Let's cut across the parking block,' says Chug, 'it'll shorten the walk to
the gate.'
'Fine,' says Stobey.
They head across, cutting in and out among the rows of parked space
ships and space buggies.
Half way across they suddenly they feel a deep, thrumming vibration
from space. Looking up, they see a gigantic, pancake-shaped,
interplanetary space liner moving in above the parking block.
Interplanetary space liners are not like the little single-seaters, family
wagons, or even the big bus line and ferry space ships that carry folks
like Stobey and Slutter from their homes to Super-Rock. Space liners
are much larger than the biggest ocean liners that sailed the seas of
Planet Earth long ago, and you've seen in history books how enormous
they were.
Stobey, Slutter and Chug watch as the huge space liner slows and stops
in space just above the Super-Rock Playground. Colored lights flash
and glow brightly all across its underside, along its rim, and through
thousands of portholes.
