Lunar-Terran Transport

All lunar-terran public transportation is provided exclusively by GO GalactiCorps’ Bot Division, headquartered at Shackleton Center, located at the lunar South Pole, and the balmy city of Winnipeg, located in the approximate center of North America on Earth.

A series of robotic mass driver devices at both locations are responsible for initiating atmospheric flight of cargo and passenger shuttles and an on-board gravity core fuels the pan-atmospheric journey.

While the cost of such transportation is relatively minimal, GO Bot Division recently began to price gouge its customers, for reasons unknown. Though consumers were at first shocked by the cost increase to ship to and from the moon, they eventually settled into a numb acceptance over the whole matter and continue to use the lunar-terran transport services of GO Bot Division without inhibition.

Human Cloning

Human cloning was first legalized in Holland in 2082, though the first successful human clone would not occur for another 56 years.

In 2138, Dr. Hans Oleo and his team of genetic engineers managed to successfully create a clone of Dr. Oleo. Unfortunately, it was an evil clone – it surreptitiously murdered Dr. Oleo and took over his life. It was not until several members of his team were mysteriously killed and the doctor grew a mustache and goatee that the crime was discovered and the clone destroyed.

Human cloning has come a long way since its inauspicious beginnings. Genetic engineering robots can now produce clones catered to 99.71% of a host-client’s specifications. After a successful gestation, it takes an average of 10 sub-cycles for the duplicate body to be physically trained and societal integration to occur.

Any parties interested in conducting a cloning session on their own must first acquire a license from the Council for a New Tomorrow’s Human Cloning Licensing office at vid-pod CNT-3E. To contact a licensed genetic operator, check your local YellowPod.

DrinkPods

When most solid foods were banned in 2275, nutritionists needed to ensure that the human race’s dietary needs would at long last be met. Numerous energizing liquids were developed but it was not until 2302 that a delivery method was perfected – the DrinkPod.

Invented by molecular engineer Percy von Shiffinerer, the DrinkPod was a giant leap forward for mankind, a device which could convert energy into liquid matter. The first DrinkPods to be marketed were powered by a miniscule Thorium 232 nuclear reactor; however, these were recalled when it was shown that the coolant tubes used to maintain a stable reactor core were sub-standard and prone to meltdown. There were approximately 2 million casualties from the resulting explosions and the city of Helsinki was quarantined until 3550.

Today, DrinkPods are both completely safe and widely accepted as the best method for maintaining proper human health. All lunar human dwellings come equipped with a built-in DrinkPod that dispenses water, medical syrup, high-density vitamin juice and Tang.
