'The Planet and the Radio Dish'

Hopefully, you're familiar with The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Having read this as a youngster, and without cheating, I recall the reader encountering an aviator stranded in the desert. (Inspired by stories of the French Foreign Legion?) Eventually, a curious man who travelled around on a tiny planet and the desert wanderer revealed their "strange" perspectives to one another, and a great parable within.
That the Little Prince could circle his lonely, small planet in a few hops, the book's essence was dreamlike and ethereal. I now long to revisit the message in the book (without looking it up in two clicks).
