Just started reading the eighteenth and final story, "The Rocket". Fiorello Bodoni dreams of flying to Mars on a rocket, which only the rich get to do. He has saved up enough money for a trip, but is warned that his wife and kids would be jealous of him, and so would he if they got the opportunity. But he only has enough money for one person to go. Damn.

como que le gustan mucho las historias de astronautas y el espacio no?

Finished "Zero Hour"! As 5 PM arrives, there are explosions all over the country as the invaders arrive on Earth. Mrs. Morris takes her husband to the attic to hide there, but their daughter Mink brings the invaders inside, who melt the lock and gain access to the attic, cornering the parents. Overall, great story!

Just started reading the seventeenth story, "Zero Hour". The people of Earth have made effectively protected themselves from alien attacks. However, children all over the country are obsessed with a new game involving an invasion and somebody named Drill, who promises that everybody older than nine will be killed and the young will rule the world. Looks like the aliens are getting help from the kids. Creepy.

Finished "The City"! Turns out the city wants revenge on Earth for enslaving its people and allowing them to die from disease. It captures the astronauts and eviscerates them, before turning them into humanoid machines and sending them back to Earth with disease bombs. As the astronauts return to Earth, the city dies. Overall, nice story!

Just started reading the sixteenth story, "The City". After twenty thousand years, a sentient city is woken up by the arrival of a rocket from Earth. As the astronauts travel through the city, the city can hear and smell them. But it appears there's a more sinister plan behind all of this. Interesting.
