I like this idea, but I will have to think some more. Have you seen 
"Moon Lander" (http://freshmeat.net/projects/moon_lander/?topic_id=80) ? 
A simpler version with similar concept may be fun and educational.

Have a great day.

Good start anyway.

For example, space ships ans U.F.O.s missing shapes or patterns and various of the shapes/patterns floating in space.
