barely avoiding each other. Contest entry. See notes.
I initially began this design with the first USA satellite, Telstar, in mind. In fact, I listened to that 1960s song, "Telstar," by the rock band, The Tornadoes, while working on this design. I still remember laying on a blanket in my family's backyard on a warm summer's evening in 1962 waiting for Telstar to fly overhead. A Thor-Delta rocket had carried it to space. And I did see it! So, while there is no Telstar in this design, hopefully a 10 year old girl's delight and wonder in seeing the USA's first satellite in space shines through.
