Story
A humble university teacher invents a device that, when embedded in the human brain, can control objects with the power of the mind. Although he was seen as mediocrity by his family and staff, the American space agency is interested in the teacher.

Since his invention is planned to be introduced into the brain of an ambitious astronaut with dubious intentions, the teacher is worried and wants to stop the operation.
