		During a NASA/Boeing 757 demonstration flight at Eagle-Vail in 2001, I had observed that a wire-frame tunnel depiction was a valuable guide through mountainous terrain, as long as the pilot stayed inside the virtual corridor.
		With the GV centered in the tunnel, only the pathway's corners--small three-segment "crow's feet" symbols--were visible moving toward, then past the viewer.
		But if the flight path marker drifted to one side or toward the tunnel's top or bottom surfaces, solid magenta lines would instantly appear and lengthen, alerting the pilot.

		During those seven weeks of writing the book was titled Tunnel in the Sky; for some reason in the next two months it was titled Schoolhouse in the Sky.
		Now, in their looseness of structure these are both fairly typical Heinlein novels; what gives them coherence is not so much any development of character or action, as the general scheme of the author's thought against which they are laid.
		In the classical sense, Tunnel in the Sky has no form at all it starts off in an arbitrary direction, goes on cheerfully until the author has written enough words to fill a book, and then stops.
