The chapter opens with a conversation between the two young men, who have just returned from a trip to the International Space Station. They are talking about the book they have just received from their mother, who has sent it with their luggage. The book is called "San's Year Book 2000" and it describes the year 2000 as a time when people meet new people, grow up, and change. The two men discuss the fact that they have been waiting for two hours for the capsule to be delivered. When they are done talking, the two men run for fifteen minutes, and the conversation turns to the subject of the book. They discuss how their father has told them they have wanted to be astronauts since middle school, and that he has written about it in his graduate school year book. When the book is finished, they discuss the experience they had in the capsule and how they will always be friends.
