| Page 9: | "That's a surprise! It's really working." the little FAIRY MOONY is landing now on our earth to get his new adventures," uncle Max is continuing with Benny's BIRTHDAY FAIRYSTORY. "Where is it heading?" Benny is wondering. "To a study room in a house," explains uncle Max. "What town, what country?" "It can be everywhere in the world." "What's in the room? Please tell me!" Benny begs impatiently. "Our little FAIRY MOONY is there. It's silently hovering around the heads of a man and a woman, listening to their thoughts." "What are they doing?" "They are sitting on a table, thinking thoughts and writing reports and fairytales." "What about?" Benny wants to know. "The woman is an authoress. She creates children books like me. With help of her thoughts and imagination she invents fairytales for kids like you," explains uncle Max. "The man is a scientist. He is thinking and working with real figures and provable facts. That means, the scientist is creating with help of his thoughts real things around us: Like the bed you are sleeping in, the house you are living in, the bus which drives you to Pre School, the computer your dad is working with, the speedy rocket and so on." "And my little toy cat too," continues Benny. "That's right," smiles uncle Max, "all this real things we can see, hear, touch, smell or taste. The authoress of fairy tales is creating fantasy-things we can't see, hear, touch, smell or taste, but imagine only." "Just like the fantasy-story about the little FAIRY MOONY?" Benny is asking. "Yes, just like this," uncle Max is answering. | Page 10:
| "What happens then?" Benny is asking. "It's travelling to the Space Centre in Houston, U.S.A.!" "Why?" "Suppose, it wants to learn more about rockets and computers," smiles uncle Max. "What's a COMPUTER for?" Benny asks interested. "That's a "TECHNICAL BRAIN" where you can store all dates, results and facts as much as you want to," explains uncle Max. | | Page 11: | "What's next?" Benny wants to know. "Little FAIRY MOONY plans to beat the fast rocket!" "Where goes the race?" "To our moon in universe," uncle Max is continuing with his BIRTHDAY FAIRYTALE. "How WILL IT MANAGE?" "It will race only with the "POWERFUEL" of his wish to BE THE FIRST!" "Is this true?" Benny won't believe it."Yes, FAIRYTRUE!" laughs uncle Max. "Do you think it will become the winner?" Benny isn't sure." Maybe, just let's see," smiles uncle Max. "Well, just in this moment, little FAIRY MOONY is starting, in competition with the fast rocket! Attention, attention, THREE, TWO, ONE, ZERO, START!" screams uncle MAX, "up they are!" "WINNER,WINNER,WINNER!" yells Benny, then stops for wondering, "actually, WHO is the winner, uncle Max?" "What do you think?" uncle Max is curious." Little FAIRY MOONY and nobody else!" Benny is pretty sure now. "That's right," confirms uncle Max. "Where is it now?" "On the LUNAR ORBIT. That's the rocket drive-way around the moon," explains uncle Max, "and right now, in this moment, it's landing as THE FIRST FAIRY PERSON on the moon!" | | Page 12: | "Has somebody taught you before, how a rocket is operating? No?" uncle Max is asking. "Then listen to me: You already know, that a rocket comprises several body parts, don't you? Well, on the top of it there is a large tip, described as LAUNCH ESCAPE ASSEMBLY, # 1. If not needed anymore, it will be separated from the rocket. Next comes the COMMAND-MODULE, # 2. It contains a dashboard and technical equipment and computers."What for?" Benny asks interested. "They are needed to LEAD the rocket from earth through universe to our moon." "Oh dear, oh dear, that's sound complicated, doesn't it?" sighs Benny. "Actually, it's not, if you know, how all is working together," says uncle Max. "The third part is the SERVICE MODULE, # 3. It contains engines, rocket-fuel containers and a lot of different technical stuff. That's all needed, to MOVE successfully the rocket from earth to moon. The fourth part of the rocket is the LUNAR MODULE, # 4. It will be needed for landing on the moon. The fifth and sixth parts of the rocket will be discarded soon after the start. That happens, if they have pushed the rocket on a height of 116 miles," explains uncle Max."How does it happen?" Benny wants to know."Both parts are filled with engines and fuel tanks for quickly gaining a high speed. If burnt out they will be discarded," explains uncle Max. |
