Onto a Sea of Stars: The Adventures of Christian Drake and The Unintentional Space Pirates Quotes

“As I told you, I ain’t your mom or your dad. I’m your uncle,” Beaumont said. “I ain’t going to babysit you or your sister. I ain’t got time for that or your foolishness. We are nowhere near Mars, and I can’t just drop you off when you act up. You have to respect me and trust me. In that order. Otherwise, we are going to butt heads again and again until you learn that I’m not to be played with or we find your mom.” Beaumont took a breath and studied his niece and nephew. “You get me?” Excerpt From Onto a Sea of Stars Mark Sneed This material may be protected by copyright.”

“The Martian history was not too different from that on Earth. The only exception was that people left the satellites and went to the surface of Mars and eventually after extensive construction found their way under a dozen domes on the red surface of the red planet. There, in the constructed safety of a domed environment the new Martians began to pollute and poison Mars as they had Earth. Garbage was a real problem. The consumption of foodstuffs created waste.” Excerpt From Onto a Sea of Stars Mark Sneed This material may be protected by copyright.”

“Okay,” said Oggy. “What did they mean by asking you about being an afronaut?” Beaumont frowned at the statement. “We’re in space and things have not changed that drastically from two hundred years ago.” The old vet paused. “We are in space and we,” he said lifting his hand and showing it to Oggy. The boy smirked. “We, are the workers, the laborers. They,” Beaumont said, raising his chin in the direction of the three men on the opposite side of the compartment. “They, are the bosses, the managers. So, in this power structure they found a way to label us.” “We are afronauts,” Zuzu said with a disgusted look and a finger pointing to her hair. “They are astronauts.” “That don’t sound right,” said Oggy. “Right or wrong, it is what it is,” Beaumont said.” Excerpt From Onto a Sea of Stars Mark Sneed This material may be protected by copyright.”
