Isaac's story
- 1. An iceberg in space By Isaac “Finished!” yelled Kevin triumphantly, as he soldered the last two wires together. Eddie gasped sarcastically. They were on a space- station and Kevin had just finished building a spacecraft of Eddie’s design. It looked a bit like a satellite, but could seat a man inside it. It was fitted with a laser that cooled down anything it came into contact with. In this case, the Earth’s atmosphere. “Wow, that’s really amazing!” scoffed Eddie. Then, adopting a more serious manner he frowned at his colleague sternly. “Are you sure you sure you have done everything right? Because if you haven’t, we could turn the Earth into an ice cube.” The plan was to send the shuttle into an orbit of the Earth and fire the laser at the planet to cool the atmosphere which had been heated so much by global warming. “Oh, stop worrying, everything will be fine,” replied Kevin. “What could go wrong?” But he said this mainly to himself, as he was beginning to have doubts himself. The G-force of the take-off nearly made Simon throw up this foul breakfast of space food. He clutched his stomach and groaned. He was in the shuttle Kevin had made which had just been launched. Even all that training hadn’t made him used to the take-offs. The small spacecraft accelerated towards Earth. Simon’s radio blared loudly as its owner listened carefully.
