I wanted it to feel like a shoebox diorama a kid (and a parent) would have built. Toy car, construction paper road, stickers on cardboard and popsicle sticks for the cows and cacti, sand (or kitty litter) for the desert, a flashlight, paper plates, and duct tape for the saucer, cellophane for the beam, and Christmas lights on a battery pack for the constellation Orion.
