2. MANY YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
‘WE CAN DO IT, JOE. NO ONE’S
DONE IT YET, BUT IT WON’T
STAY THAT WAY FOREVER.’
‘SOONER OR LATER, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE
THE FIRST. I WANT THAT TO BE US. IF WE DON’T
MOVE QUICKLY – IF WE DON’T GIVE IT EVERYTHING
WE’VE GOT – YOU KNOW FOR A FACT…’
‘…THEY WILL.’

3. I KNOW, CHET.
THAT’S WHY I’M HERE.
WHY AREN’T YOU
HERE?
I’M TRYING TO
GET THERE, JOE. IT’S
JUST VERY…
…COMPLICATED.
I DON’T KNOW
IF I CAN KEEP THE WORK
GOING WITHOUT YOU HERE.
WE’VE ALREADY LOST CHRISTY
AND PHILIP TO THE
OTHER SIDE.
CHET! YOUR
GRANDFATHER
IS HERE.
LISTEN, JOE,
I’LL TRY TO MAKE IT.
BUT I HAVE TO GO
NOW…

4. …MY MOTHER
IS CALLING ME.
I’VE BEEN CALLING
YOU FOR THE LAST TEN
MINUTES, CHET. WERE YOU
DAYDREAMING AGAIN, AND
PRETENDING TO BE AN
ASTRONAUT?
LISTEN, YOUNG MAN, YOU HAD BETTER TURN
YOUR ATTITUDE AROUND. YOUR GRANDFATHER
MADE THESE PLANS A MONTH AGO. I WON’T
HAVE YOU RUINING THIS WEEKEND FOR
BOTH OF YOU.
YES,
MOTHER.
ANYWAY, YOUR
GRANDFATHER IS AT
THE DOOR. ARE YOU
READY TO GO?
CONSIDER YOURSELF
LUCKY. MOST BOYS YOUR
AGE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO ON
A CAMPING TRIP, ESPECIALLY
IF THEIR GRANDFATHER
WAS AS FAMOUS AS
YOURS IS.
I GUESS
SO.
HI, GRANDPA.
CHET! ARE
YOU READY FOR AN
ADVENTURE?
HMM… I
GUESS SO.

5. ARE
YOU EXCITED,
CHET?
YES... REALLY
EXCITED.
HMM… THAT WASN’T
VERY CONVINCING. I THOUGHT
YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD
TO CAMPING OUT WITH YOUR
OLD GRANDPA?
I SEE.
BUT, ONE
WEEKEND WON’T
HURT, RIGHT?
WELL… IT WILL. MY
FRIENDS AND I STARTED
BUILDING THE FORT, BUT ONE
OF THEM DECIDED HE WANTED
TO MAKE HIS OWN. SOME OF MY
FRIENDS LEFT MY GROUP
TO HELP HIM.
I WAS – I MEAN,
I AM. IT’S JUST THAT MY
FRIENDS ARE BUILDING A
FORT AND THEY REALLY
NEED MY HELP.
AND YOU WANT
TO GET YOUR FORT
BUILT BEFORE
THEM?
YES. IF SASCHA
GETS HIS FORT UP FIRST,
NO ONE WILL WANT TO HELP US
FINISH OURS. HE’LL HAVE THE ONLY
FORT IN THE WOODS, WHEN
THE IDEA WAS ACTUALLY
MINE.
SO, IT’S
A RACE TO THE
FINISH?
YES. IF SASCHA
HAS TO WIN THIS
RACE, I MIGHT AS
WELL GIVE UP.

6. HA HA HA!
GRANDPA!
WHAT’S SO
FUNNY?
I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST
SAID – TWO GROUPS RACING
TO GAIN CONTROL OF AN
UNCONTESTED
PLACE.
IT REMINDED
ME OF THE SPACE
RACE.
THE SPACE
RACE?
NEVER MIND THAT.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
THE SPACE RACE. AFTER ALL,
I DO KNOW A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT IT.
YOU DO KNOW
ABOUT THE SPACE
RACE, RIGHT?
WELL… I...
KIND OF.
