Even worse, they couldn’t stop their computer, since it was attacked by a virus. So they sent an email to the control centre. But it reached the Space Computer Club. While the Space Computer Club were contacting the control centre, they were also calling the Whizz-kid for help. In the end, he successfully solved the problem. And the spaceship continued to fly back to the Earth.
