Description
Translation
Clip "a" : N: A Hyprop-2 will be required for a spatial mission as a thruster of a spaceship with the same name as its mission: the Kuyper-Delta First (KD1). Its departure is expected in 8 years, and may be delayed for 3 more years. We had no idea about that mission's objective. S: Here is the Kuyper-Delta First*, the KD1. This spaceship is illustrated, as it would appear, before receiving its cargo and its propulsion engine, but otherwise, ready to leave.
Note*: Episode 2, page 11f
Clip "b" : S: Here is a close view of a command module : The Modeco-6. This is a short-range shuttle, but highly maneuverable and highly autonomous. T: It looks so strange, but so exciting!
Clip "c" : S: The KD1, using the Hyprop as its main propulsion engine, with its staff, its cargo and its 2 Modeco-6 shuttles, will travel towards a moon of Barush; it is a dwarf planet of the Kuiper Belt. There will be some operations on that moon. From a 400-year-old map, I calculated that this planet is about 125 A.U.* from the Sun. S: Four centuries old? Nothing that is more recent?
Note*: A.U. for Astronomic Unit = The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is equal to one A.U.
Clip "d" : S: This is what I got from the Commodore. I am not responsible for that mission, but that map gives an idea about the distance that the KD1 has to travel. S: Heu? T: It means : "Do not ask any question about this mission."
Clip "e" : N: The KD1 and its Hyprop will be assembled in space from the biggest modules that can fit within the cargo bay of a Hypercargo, with its fully tested E2s6 engines and that can be lifted up to a low-level Earth's orbit. Testing E2s6 is a priority.
Clip "f" : S: I finalized all the specifications for the Hyprop-2 BAFI; they have been approved by the Commodore. He has already commanded to build such a BAFI. Your ordicom have already all these specifications and diagrams. T: He was so often absent and in a hurry; this is why!
Clip "g" : S: You should be able to write a preliminary but complete actualization plan for that Hyprop-2; is-n-it? Completed in about 2 months? T: With finalized specifications of its BAFI; that will be exciting. S: Gulm! Yes, Boss! N:I do not know why, but he gave me lots of courage that I needed for going back into writing that so complex plan.
Note to comic artists : Look at the movement lines in clips "c" and "f," near the hands.
My comment about the CCP virus.
It is time to call that new virus : the Chinese Communist Party virus.
We are in great danger; we might end up into a islamo-communist-like globalist regime, while hypnotized by our panic about that virus. We must accept reasonable risks, and must avoid falling into the trap of begging for absolute security and certainty. We should develop self-reliance, and our ability to question everyone on everything, then to come into a conclusion that could change as new evidence is coming (this is the scientific method).
