Twenty years passed, they built a large torus of airplane fuselage sections. They laughed at each other, "the world's biggest steel dough-nut." It was closer to the kind of space station NASA always said would orbit earth someday instead of that billion dollar Winnebago with oversize awnings. It did everything but fly, a big wheel on it's side with lights and turbo-fans and turbo props for ventilation. They cut off wings and made shade porches and cargo nets were draped everywhere. The air a strange mix of burnt metal and imagination and laughter. You see the radio said aliens were building a base in the middle of the airplane graveyard. But the real plan was to build a huge steel coffee cup to set next to the dough-nut.
