The Thing in The Sky

Today, i was out biking in the park when a neighbor bumpbed into me. He stopped me and told me about this thing happening in the sky at exactly 7:40. He told me what it was, but i didn't remember. So i go home, and tell the rest of my family, and at 7:30 we troop outside to see this unknow thing. The sky, it a remarkable shade of blue in the center. And even a more remarkable shade of turqouis around the edges (yes, i know the sky doesn't have edges.) But besides this there was nothing. We waited a while and our neighbor and his two children come dow. They tell us that the thing were going to see is a spaceshuttle atached to a space station that is orbiting te earth. Now, this thing is always orbiting the earth, well the station is, but tonight for multiple reasons, it is possible to see. There are three astronaughts (yes...i am a creative speller) in this thing orbiting the earth. So we wait, admirng the sky's color, feeling the breeze against out faces. It is a special feeling, one that rarely hits. It is the feeling of cool breeze on a summer night. it is the feeling of unknow space. It is the feeling of camping in the wilderness. And then we see it. It is like a brights star moving throught the sky. It is a beautiful contrast to the sky. But it's nothing to see besides a star really. My brother said "space is overrated" but i don't think so. I think we are overrating something that is part of something very underrated. Space, and the sky, is very underrated. There is a magic in it that is undefined and beautiful. It is the unknown.

  1. I agree with both of you. Space is beautiful and unknown, but we make such a big deal out of it! I don't know, I guess it just kind of depends on what you like.
