Plot
Binky dreads going to the museum because he did it last year, but he sees an exhibit that excites him, "The World of Tomorrow", but to Binky is disappointment it is closed. Then while everyone's asleep (except Binky) he sneaks inside "World of Tomorrow", but gets Trapped inside a spaceship. Then Binky dreams of being in the future and gets out with help from Thruster (who resembles Buster) and he discovers he is in "World Of Yesterday" instead of "Tomorrow" and in the year March 10, 2203. Then, Thruster thinks he's an exhibit, but Binky's on a quest for his classmates, but Thruster tells him he can't leave, people will want a refund. Then Binky says he isn't part of the exhibit, he's a Kid like Buster, then Thruster doesn't know what a kid is and says he is an "Immature Artificial Life-Form". Then he takes Binky to a craft, "Take me to anytime." Binky had to answer a science question,"What tiny particles attract a washer to a magnet?" I do not know Binky cried. Then when his dream was over. He saw Buster and told him is Mr. Ratburn's still a robot and Buster asked, "I was a Robot? Did I do cool stuff? Did I shot lasers out of my eyes? Did I drink motor oil?" Lastly, Binky learned that the atoms were what attacked the washer to the magnet, from that moment on Binky had new found respect for Science.
