There are two things from my childhood that I'm having trouble trying remember what they were. One is a book and the other is an anime. Since they're from so long ago, I only remember very small bits of them and it's been bugging me. Hopefully my clues will be enough.

The first thing is a novel. The only things that I remember was that it oldish (like it could've been from the time of The Outsider and Ender's Game) and the cover. The cover looks similar to pic related. The differences between the two is the cover had was a void of space that was black rather than blueish, no asteroid, the whole ship was visible, and there an explosion coming out of it where the red circle is. Or it could've been a star the ship was passing by. Though I'm pretty sure it was an explosion.

The other thing was a sci-fi anime from the early 2000s. The only thing I remember was about 4 seconds of a scene. Basically, there was a jet-like vehicle the had two cockpits. One on the front with a guy in it and the other one was on top of the center of the vehicle with a girl. The scene was that they were coming out of a tunnel and the guy being blinded by sunlight. I think he said something along the line of, "I'm colorblind." I vaguely remember another vehicle next to them and I think they were racing. Not sure.

Sorry if these clues aren't clear enough. Thanks in advance.
