Today's scene is symbolic of an event that happened today and one that might. According to the news, the space shuttle Atlantis landed successfully after a mission to install a laboratory on the International Space Station. The second event, which was tentatively scheduled for this evening but might be delayed due to weather, is the shoot down of one of our USA 193 satellite by a Navy ship in the Pacific Ocean. We'll see on that one.

The scene I've selected for these events is an amalgamation of two scenes. The first is the rocket plane done by a student in North Carolina (they were doing a science unit on aviation) as modified by a second grader in a local school who put eyes on the plane. These are our "eyes in the skies."
