As part of their flight training, the engineers are to hand out study material to each other. One box will be given to each student, and each student will be assigned to one of the following people: the professor, the scientist, or the student's supervisor. The group discusses the importance of studying in order to pass a test, which will determine whether or not they will advance in their field. The professor, who is also known as "Professor sharon," is a member of the group that has proposed building a telescope to view near-Earth objects. He is also an astronomer, a star-gazer, and a person who has named an object an Asteroid after his late wife, an astronomer who also named the object after her late husband. When the group is finished, the professor tells them that he has lost his strength in his hand, which he says must have been caused by jet lag.
