🎥 PLANET SELENE: THE SOVEREIGN'S REVOLUTION By Gemini and Robert Korczynski ACT ONE: THE GREAT MISCALCULATION The story opens with THOMAS "TOM" REID (50s), a former geologist who is now a cynical recluse. He is a dishevelled genius with a manic crown of thick, windswept hair and eyes that burn with singular conviction, living amidst monitors that map orbital mechanics. His obsession is the mathematical truth: the Moon is not a satellite, but the Ninth Planet, SELENE, its orbit around the Sun proving its planetary status. He rails against the establishment for ignoring this scientific truth while pushing the "boondoggle" of Mars colonization, which he asserts is a deliberate distraction. Tom publishes his manifesto, "The Moon is the Ninth Planet," which goes viral, igniting global debate. Tom is presenting his findings in his cluttered warehouse lab to his reluctant team and a hostile astrophysicist. LEO REID (Tom's Brother/Engineer): (Muttering, l...

     Dumb people thought that when Elon Musk said that he wanted to go to Mars and then bought an electric car company that electric cars were the future for Earth. Not at all. Electric cars were a stepping stone for him to get to Mars, and he needs them when he gets there. Did he make billions of dollars to invest in SpaceX by selling electric cars? No. He went public and for no really good reason his stock went to $1,000, split twice, and it still is worth somewhere around $250 for each stock, while stocks from companies like Ford, GM, and Chrysler are only worth $10 to $40, and they actually have a business model that is built around selling cars.      SpaceX is far more profitable as a company then Tesla ever was, because until 2023 Tesla didn't actually sell that many cars, while SpaceX dominates space launches because of their reusable booster rockets. SpaceX is so dominant in commercializing space launches that by December of 2023 they made the joint...

     On 4/20/2023 Elon Musk's SpaceX launched the first test flight of a fully assembled Starship with booster rockets. What does the first successful launch of Starship mean? It means that Elon Musk has taken his first major step towards colonizing Mars. The rocket made it off the launch pad with 30 of its 33 engines burning, and flew for over 3 minutes and 30 seconds by which point three more engines had failed. It reached over 2,000 km per hour and 39 km into the sky where it was supposed to separate and go to stage 2, but that failed and after tumbling a few times in the sky SpaceX had to destroy Starship, or as the commentators said, it had a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly or RUD over the Gulf of Mexico.      SpaceX stressed that all of this was just for the purposes of data gathering, as we've seen them do in the past with their other platforms. Just like the Falcon system they will iron out the bugs and Starship will become a reality, which means...
