Space Voyage To Gamma Prime
Our first space pioneers had to fulfill this need.
They had to travel faster than light speed.
Without it, there would have been no space travel.
The amount of time required would have made it impractical.
This proved to be a difficult problem to tackle.
Our physicists and engineers worked very feverishly.
The results of all their labor you can see.
How do they do it? Don’t ask me!
It is a process with the greatest complexity.
Look out the port side window, and view with your eyes.
There is a yellow star comparable to our own sun’s size.
The third planet orbiting that star is Gamma Prime.
As the tour guide, I wish all of you passengers a good time.
