| Page 13: | "What happens then?" Benny is interested."The LUNAR MODULE will be detached from the main rocket for landing on the moon. Afterwards, the main rocket still consists of two parts which are staying on the LUNAR ORBIT. "Why?" asks Benny. "Because only the LUNAR MODULE will be sent for landing on the moon", answers uncle Max. "How does it happen?"
"Two of the astronauts are moving from the COMMAND MODULE, #1, through the SERVICE MODULE, #2, into the LUNAR MODULE, #3. "What are they doing now?" Benny wants to know. "Both astronauts have to lead the LUNAR MODULE for landing on the moon." "What happens with the third astronaut?" "He stays in the rocket's SERVICE MODULE." "Why?" "To keep it securely on the Lunar Orbit around the moon." "What happens then?" "Don't you want stop asking questions?" sighs uncle Max. "No," laughs Benny. "Actually, what's an astronaut?" "That's a special trained rocket pilot and a specialised engineer in one person." "One day , I will too become an astronaut," thinks Benny. | Page 14:
| "What happens, if the astronauts want to go home?" Benny is wondering loudly. "On their way back to earth, they do discard at first the LUNAR MODULE and than the SERVICE MODULE," says uncle Max. "Why?" "This two parts of the rocket aren't needed anymore. Only the third part of the rocket, the COMMAND MODULE with the astronauts, is returning to Earth." "How does it happen?" Benny can't stop asking. "With help of three large parachutes, three large balloons and a red flotations collar around the COMMAND MODULE, it's gently landing in the ocean," uncle Max explains patiently. "Afterwards, they become rescued by special trained engineers. "Where are the engineers?" "These engineers are stationed on a big ship nearby. They are working together for the astronauts' secure return from universe," uncle Max explains. Fortunately, he doesn't become tired to answer Benny's questions. | | Page 15: | "What happens now with the little FAIRY MOONY?" Benny is wondering." Wouldn't it be a great souvenir for the astronauts' kids?" asks uncle Max. "It may be", Benny is thinking about. "But, suppose the little FAIRY MOONY is only happy in his own FAIRY WORLD?" "You are right, Benny," uncle Max is praising him, "just listen to it: "Oh dear, oh dear, I'm so much tired", mourns little FAIRY MOONY sadly, "I WANT TO GO HOME STRAIGHT AWAY!" | | Page 16: | "Don't worry, little lad", the two astronauts are encouraging the little FAIRY MOONY. "Nothing easier than that: "We just will bend you on Lunar Modules' backside! On our way home to earth we surely will find your FAIRY WORLD. Let's do it now!" And up they go to reconnect with the rocket. It's still circling the moon on the Lunar Orbit. "Nice, to see you again," smiles the third astronaut. "WELCOME ON BOARD!" |
