Professor Noah’s Spaceship
by Brian Wildsmith
Professor Noah rescues all the animals from a dying planet, and during their journey of
40 days and 40 nights they plan to travel through a time-zone to take them hundreds of
years into the future. At one point, the elephant must take a spacewalk to fix the
time-zone guideance fin, which suggests that the time-zone is some sort of a wormhole or
other time portal in space rather than mere reletavistic time dilation—and indeed there is actual time travel!
— Michael Main
He put on a special space-suit, went out through the air-lock, and pulled the fin into
shape.
