GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse

How does this story create a feeling of tension or conflict?

This story created tension because according to the text, there was a problem with the side jets.
Greg was trying to get to Mars for his brother, working at a bacteria laboratory. According to the text, " He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment."
He had worked so hard that we wouldn't switch it for anything. According to the text, "Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow." It seemed like Tom wasn't doing anything meaningful as a job. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother. According to the text, "It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything."
The fight was only an experiment that could someday give men stars. But it was everything for Greg.

Answer: This story created tension because according to the text, there was a problem with the side jets.

Greg was trying to get to Mars for his brother, who was working at a bacteria laboratory, which can be proved according to the text when it says, " He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment."

He had worked so hard that he wouldn't hesitate for anything, which can be found in the text when it states, "Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow." It seemed like Tom wasn't doing anything meaningful as a job, which caused Greg to feel a surge of pity for his brother. This can also be found in the passage when it states, "It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything."

The fight might've only been a experiment that one day could allow men to touch the stars, but the evidence shown above proves that even small exerpiments might not be so small to some people after all.

Step-by-step explanation:

This conclution makes it easier to understand for the reader, because it is addressing the point head on and wrapping your other paragraphs up in a way that can leave the reader satifyed.

It points out your expidense to make your response seem more logical

I also tweaked your whole response a little bit to make it transition a bit smoothely and make it easier to read.
