"Spies discover that the Red Chinese have built a 'doomsday machine' capable of destroying the surface of the Earth, and that they plan to use it within a matter of days. ...
A "doomsday machine" nicknamed the "Chinese WooHoo Flu"?
"Meanwhile, Project Astra, a manned U.S. space mission to Venus, is in its final hours before launch when it is taken over by the military and nearly half of its all-male crew is replaced by women. The reason for this becomes apparent when, shortly after Astra leaves orbit, the Earth is completely destroyed in a global cataclysm!" ...
DAMN! Quick, in order to save mankind, we need to launch ribit, Stacey Abrams, and Uga on the Astra.
"Is the human race doomed? What dangers and wonders await the crew of the Astra on their journey to Venus?"
Dangers? Well, that probably all depends on whether the Sun gets caught up in Stacey's gravitational pull or not, don'tcha know. We already know the frog king has been sucked up into that black hole, but there's nothing to be done about that, now. Hopefully, Uga left a trail of drool that ribit can one day follow back to daylight. Tune in and find out!
