Lots of quoting of Psalm 8. Lots of "when that lonely speck of dust, having flown around the cos-moze for millennia, dies in beauty, we want to be there for it."

They're all out on the front lawn now, , faces still eagerly pointed upwards, fast asleep in their deck chairs.
It's pretty unlucky for them really. Despite the rain we've had the last few days, the automated sprinkler system is still about to come on.
I should really switch it off.
I really should.

No speculation about free fireworks? It does the heart good to hear that these people are familiar with the Psalms, perhaps also the book of Genesis. Perhaps the spirit of good will blow the water from the sprinklers right into their smiling faces as a God bonus.
