The satellite itself was probably the coolest thing. It was composed of a giant ring of solar panels and thrusters and in the centre there was a cylindrical module sticking out proportionately from both ends. Picture a toilet paper roll sitting on an end, and halfway up the roll the ring wrapped around it. I was attempting to bring the satellite into higher orbit and the thrusters were going full tilt, but the damn thing was too heavy and kept slipping closer to the planet. As it crashed I got stuck underneath it and died while attempting some kind of landing. Then the dream rebooted and there I was, back in the orbit. A higher power was giving me a second chance to correct the error I made. The error that resulted in the boosters firing up too late.

Now I just want to sleep and keep going.... "Dormammu I've come to bargain!"
