JPR 1.2

Starry and clear was the night, that last night, we were sharing in the garden sitting together on the grass hand in hand. Two hours before dawn a shiny star appeared at the eastern horizon.

• There it is, it is waiting for you.

Bit by bit, we had seen it grow for the last thirty years. It was now complete, glowing in the sky, looming some 2.700 km above us, the aster that would determine our destinies, the ISS Haniwa.
