davidtye Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I read a book many years ago as a teenager about a spaceship that was made out of (plastic I think) bottles. I can't remember the title but I am sure it was written by Isaac Azimov but I could be wrong. If only I could find the book as I'd love to read it again. Does anyone know the book or have any idea's what the book is? Thanks David J Tye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Citizen Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The only one I thought of was from the illustrated man short stories collection by Ray Bradbury. Probably not the one though! "The Rocket" — Fiorello Bodoni, a poor junkyard owner, has managed to save $3,000 to fulfill his lifelong dream of sending one member of his family on a trip to outer space. The family, however, finds it impossible to choose who will go because those left behind will inevitably envy the chosen one for the rest of their lives. Bodoni instead uses the money to build a replica rocket from an old mock-up, and sets up a 3D theater inside the cabin and convinces the children they are actually going through space.
