day luxury cars. Samuel and Antonio took a free ride back to their hostels with Mrs. Andersen. Melissa followed Nikita in her Luxury Mercs Glider.
    One week later, Mrs. Andersen and the kids were supposed to gather at the space shuttlecraft launch-pad. As everyone turned up on the appointed time, Mrs. Andersen noticed that Antonio had not arrived. She was a bit worried. She waited with an air of expectancy. A short while passed before little Antonio appeared dragging his cute little lugguage bag behind him and wore his cute little blue Nike cap the other way round. He was half-running and half-afraid that he had missed the flight. Antonio was extremely excited as this was going to be his first time travelling on a spaceship. He tossed and turned in bed the night before and hardly slept a wink, waiting for this moment, the moment to step inside a spaceship. It would be one small step for a little boy, but one big step for little Antonio.
    The space shuttlecraft stood on top of a launchpad. It had the shape of a big brown moth, with two big, right-angled triangular wings spread horizontally. There were also two metallic feelers sticking out horizontally from the front of the spacecraft.
    “Chen Wei, you will drive this space shuttlecraft with Nikita as your co-pilot, any problem?” Mrs. Andersen asked. She decided to let them drive the space shuttlecraft since both of them were the most senior among her students.
    “No.”
    “Good. We are depending on you.”
    Everyone deposited their travel-bags into the luggage compartment behind. The group boarded the space shuttlecraft with Chen Wei and Nikita occupying the pilot and co-pilot seat respectively. Melissa and Samuel occupied the middle row. Mrs. Andersen and Antonio sat at the last row. The hangar door opened slowly.
    “Everybody, fasten your seat-belts.” Chen Wei pressed the ignition button on his navigation console. The power system was activated. Fuel exhaust began ejecting from the exhaust pipes behind. The space shuttlecraft began to gather momentum.
     “Take off!” Chen Wei said. Off the space shuttlecraft took to the air and out of the hangar door in a jiffy. When it shot out into the open air, it increased its angle of elevation and was rapidly gaining altitude. Chen Wei was busy manipulating the navigation controls. Looking out through the cockpit window, one could see the swift change in colour from navy blue to white and navy blue and then darkness as this space shuttlecraft ventured out into space.
    “Shuttle speed, 100,000 kilometres per hour. Exit Earth’s gravitational field in three minutes. Nikita, compute impulse and kinetic energy increase,” Chen Wei ordered.
    Nikita was too absorbed in her own thoughts to hear his commands. Melissa nudged her from behind, sensing her delayed response. Nikita quickly recomposed herself and using the mathematical hologram in front of her console, she computed the navigation parameters. Chen Wei grabbed the answer module and plug it into his own navigation control system. Technology at this stage of development was highly modular and used holograms as the user-interface. Hence, two holograms stood in front of the pilot and co-pilot navigation consoles. Chen Wei and Nikita had to execute multiple ‘grab and plug’ actions on their navigation consoles. These actions required concentration and speed.
    Chen Wei needed another set of parametric equations to be solved and ordered his co-pilot to do so. Nikita was once again lost in her own thoughts. She found herself admiring more and more of the pilot seated on her right. His handsome face, dark eyebrows, intelligent eyes, chiselled nose and masculine voice fit her dream idol perfectly! Melissa nudged her again from behind. Nikita computed the required parameters quickly. Chen Wei took the answer module and plug it into his own navigation module.
    “Decelerating. Exit Earth’s gravitational field in one minute. Nikita, compute impulse, kinetic energy changes,
