Good point about the mirrors there. Also, I seem to recall that Lewis himself realized the impossibility of the spherical craft, but was (as with much else in OTSP) giving a wink and a nod to the popular/pulp sci-fi of the time--- the 1930s, as pulp was becoming its own genre of literature. Also, I think, to the First Men in the Moon of H. G. Wells' novel. It would probably have been in CSL's collection called On Other Worlds, but I'm not certain.
