Because of the thin air and -70° temperature of the stratozone, Pilot Post had encased himself in a grotesque suit made of white asbestos.

Endeavour, hydrangea blue above water, bronze below, is made entirely of steel except for a silver-spruce boom and a mahogany rudder. On a panel ahead of her helmsman, is a full set of airplane navigating
