Socrates (s) built a Buddhist temple (寺) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). To protect it from being destroyed while floating around in zero gravity, he built a protective frame made out of mud (土) around it. After finishing it he inspects it and thinks "thumbs up" (寸), because he is proud of his work.
