NASA's space shuttle "Discovery" is shooting towards the orbit. Today the boy can express his enthusiasm and need to understand the physical universe only by emulating the launch with his bucket of sand.

Even though the pioneering shuttle program is shutting down soon, it has helped to develop the technology needed to make the space inhabitable, and inspired a new generation of pioneers.

When I am sitting in my rocking-chair I expect this boy to show us some mind-blowing things about outer space.

It's my entry for "High Frontier" contest [link] (You should take part as well, there should be more participants -- the theme is cool and the prizes are fab!)

Thanks *Kuume for helping me out with the concept.
