Crack

Twilight called the ship by some ridiculous technical designation, but Rainbow named it Two Wings And A Prayer.

The first part was relevant as the craft soared higher than any pegasus could - splitting the difference between sky and space. Skimming along the verge of orbit, it carried Rainbow Dash higher than anypony had ever gone before. The final step before following Luna's hoofsteps to the moon. Into a place where the chill of space dug into your bones and where - importantly - the air was too thin to breathe without the ship's oxygen reserves.

The second part was relevant because Dash was praying through her panic for her port window to hold as the emergency sealant hardened over the hairline crack in the glass.
