In the future, the world is shiny and bright. The sky is full of big ships. Robots help everyone. Doors open with a “whoosh.” Cars fly up high. The stars are close to see. Planets are new and blue and round. People go to space every day. Rockets zoom, zoom, zoom! Lights sparkle. Buttons beep. This is a world full of magic machines.

“Hello, Rocket,” says Ben. “Ready to go?”

“Beep beep! Ready!” says Rocket.

“Let's find a new planet,” says Ben.

“Zoom! Zoom!” says Rocket.

“Look! Stars are twinkle, twinkle,” says Ben.

“Yes! Twinkle, twinkle, little stars,” says Rocket.

“See, a red light ahead,” says Ben.

“Stop, Rocket, stop!”

“Stopping!” says Rocket.

“Is it danger?” says Ben.

“No, it's a friendly star,” says Rocket.

“Hello, Star,” says Ben.

“Hello, Ben,” says Star. “Shine, shine!”

“Let's look for life,” says Ben.

“Yes, let's look,” says Rocket.

“Zoom slow. Look close,” says Ben.

“Look! A green planet!” says Rocket.

“Go down, Rocket. Soft, soft,” says Ben.

“Going down,” says Rocket.

“Hello, new world,” says Ben.

“Hello, Ben!” says little voices.

“We are here! We are friends!”

“Thank you,” says Ben.

“Good job, Rocket.”

“Good night, Ben.”

“Good night, Rocket. Good night, stars.”
