Hungarian on the Moon
Tasnádi István
“Let’s disappear quickly from this doomed Earth and let us colonize the Universe!” Stephen Hawking
The United Nations has divided the Moon, and distributed the terrains proportionately between the countries of the World, according to their original size. The Moon-repartition was held in front of a notary: the immediate neighbors of Hungary are Yemen, Sudan, East-Timor, Tonga, Micronesia, Slovakia and Romania. The Government has begun the training of the Space Columbuses. The goal: to conquer a New World, to establish the Hungarian moon-park. We are looking for mooncolonists!
“SENSITIVE HUMAN BEINGS, DADS AND MOMS, SPACE COLUMBUSES, WHO HAVE LEFT MOTHER EARTH IN HOPE OF FINDING, IN THIS INFINITE SPACE, A NEW AND HAPPY COUNTRY FOR THE HUNGARIAN NATION! BE ONE OF THEM TOO! ZOLTÁN, PÉTER, LÁSZLÓ AND ESZTER – AND MAYBE EVEN YOU! THEY’RE WAITING FOR YOU: HEAVEN’S COLONISTS! ”
