A spaceship is streaking across the sky, lead by a brilliant column of fire as it burns hard to decelerate after having punched through the atmosphere.
You can see the condensation clouds as sonic boom shockwaves shear off the airframe, and know you'll soon hear those rattling blasts. But for a moment, the sky is silent.
You check the time on your phone. Right on schedule. Your ride is here.
