"I had a blast so very fast. But it didn't go
to waste. You filled my head with so much
knowledge, it will so be useful in college.
Sir Isaac Newton's 3 laws of motion only
work when things are in commotion. When
I left STARBASE I had a problem to face.
How to tell tell the human race about how
wonderful it is about STARBASE."
