Chapter Nine: Non Mais Allô Quoi

Tonight we continue with Part Two, Pioneers and Explorers.  At this point we've met all three of our space twins:  Ozzie, Shamiso, and Young-Min Jo.  We've also learned how Kelvin (with a little help from his new friends Helga and Steffen - not to mention an outstanding effort from his old pal B.J.) has made just the right connection in order to get himself selected to the crew.  That is, if he can get clean and pass the drug test.  Not to mention getting himself back into shape ... and passing the entrance exam.

Meanwhile, there is something very few people know about the maiden voyage of the Santa Maria.   Only top level scientists within the upper echelon of Space Programme - and barely a handful of high level officials within the government itself - have been informed.   An exciting development within the world of science will soon alter the average person's understanding of long-distance space travel; and with it mankind’s potential for eventually conquering and settling the galaxy.
