The curving structure is shaped to resemble a wind-twisted rocket contrail something I witnessed many times living near Vandenberg missile base.

(She's named after Dr. Ellie Arroway, the character in Carl Sagan's Contact, portrayed by Jodie Foster in the movie, but that's the only connection to the story.)

@MichaelWhelan I realised before even reading the post that the structure is a contrail, that’s lovely.

If it’s possible to have fictional heroes, she’s one of mine. I can read the book forever and never get bored of her character.

@kunev @MichaelWhelan Wow, I didn’t know there was a real person behind the character. I’m looking forward to learning more about her.

@FraEmme Anche in due o esplicitamente per due?
Nel secondo caso di molto carini (imho, ovviamente) ci sarebbero A Wild Venture (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/447174/a-wild-venture) e Patchwork (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163412/patchwork).Dovresti trovarli entrambi facilmente nell'edizione italiana; A Wild Venture è uscito neanche un mese fa, credo... ^^
