The Proxima System was going to be California related. GOLDEN STATE corporation stood for Galactic Operating Leadership Division Enterprise etc. The main character had a robotic squirrel pet. I changed it to a koala & the planet to Space Colony New Australia (SCHNOZ)

Scorpius=Greatest Sci-fi Villain Ever

Commandment XIII: Thou Shalt Honor Thy Mel Brooks

Douglas Herr...I like the last name. Do you have any photos of Kookaburras?

Meatzu: The conveniently squeezable artificial meat in a can that's delicious, nutritious, and has no expiration date. Read more about it in my sci-fi boom series: Artemis Starfighter Academy www.amazon.com/Artemis-Star...

In my new sci-fi book Artemis Starfighter Academy, the Proxima System is colonized in large part thanks to Meatzu, which is squeezable like Cheesewiz and made of a variety of animal byproducts like Spam. It's made with 11 artificial flavors and colors, and has no expiration date.

My second favorite star! After the sun, of course.

I'm thinking about it, for $ savings. Not sure if my deep voice will be a good fit for my protagonist who is an 11 year old girl, or if I can pull off a covincing accent for the people of Space Colony New Australia.
