SNEAK: “Good evening, Earth Friends. We have a short message for you today, to report a sad event for Earth’s astronaut & space explorers.”
CAPTAIN ECHO: “That’s right Sneak. Earth Astronaut John Young passed away at age 87 Earth years!”
UNION: “Mr. Ben was inspired by Mr. John’s work as an Earth Astronaut. He flew on 6 Earth Astronaut missions on 3 different Earth spacecraft types. The Gemini, the Apollo, and the Space Shuttle spacecraft”.
SNEAK: “Although Earth’s space ships are ancient and primitive compared to our home world’s Engedian saucers and other craft, John Young flew them with the same dedication and passion as we fly ours.”
UNION: “Yes, Best Friend! As Mr. Ben’s Earth Country America’s longest-serving astronaut, Mr. John showed the world what happens when you follow what you know is the right thing to do, what helps people learn more about important things, and what you’re passionate about. He inspired many people and children . . . like Mr. Ben when he was 6 1/2 Earth years old and saw Mr. John fly the first Space Shuttle. Little did Mr. Ben know that he’s work for the same people and “company” as he calls it that made the Shuttle’s booster rockets!”
CAPTAIN ECHO: “I know that Mr. John was also a military pilot and captain like me. Although I never met him, I find his astronaut stories and work to be fascinating and inspiring for sure.”
SNEAK: “Good work, Mr. John. We ‘non-humans’ are inspired by what you did!”
CAPTAIN ECHO: “You were a great pilot, an astronaut, and a hero to the world. From one Captain to another Captain . . . Well Done, Sir!”
UNION: “And may the Great Imm legions guide you to the Celestial Universe where all is good!”
For The Great Galactic Space Gimmick, we’re the Earthnauts Lieutenant Sneak, Captain Echo, and Commander Union . . . with Gimmick Commander Ben Faltinowski. ?
