One short flight...but a monumental moment in human history.

Soon we will build a settlement on Mars because earth has become uninhabitable and Mars will be the bether choice. Guess who is going...? Hint: It's not you or me. We're doing the same the people did who died building the pyramids.

Wearing Cotton Gloves and Masks can beat COVID-19 in two weeks. Health Experts don’t know the science on this but I know, physics measures are far better than vaccines. In May 2020, I swore that I'd like to accept the most severe penalties including death if my idea doesn't work.

How much for a ticket on the next flight?

That and three dollars and fifty cents will get u a cup of coffee

We're UFOs now!
