A bored human mechanic soups up a visiting alien Ambassador's shuttle to blinding speeds, narrowly averting disaster. Their unlikely friendship leads to interstellar adventures that open the mechanic's eyes to diplomacy's power in bridging divides.
All of my stories are original.

@@jackochainsaw - LOL! For some reason this reminded me of when their dishwasher motor went out, and he hooked up an 8 cylinder motor, with the exhaust pipe sticking out of the counter with a truck exhaust flapper on it. I just howled. 🤣

I think the ambassador is a speed junkie and those fixes will be making the ship safer at that new speed.

@@BassthefactThat is very true there's never good for Humans who have the technical know how and mechanical background to be idle. We're prone to tinker around with side projects. Just be glad it was not a full on shipyard.

Good story but why did he strip out non-essential material to reduce weight? in space weight is not a factor but mass is. time reference. 1:40

@gobblinal 4 ай бұрын

Isn't removing "weight" going to also remove "mass"?

@WuSEification 4 ай бұрын

Bro. Weight IS mass.

@gobblinal 4 ай бұрын

@@WuSEificationWell, technically, mass is how much of something there is, and weight is how much gravity is acting on that mass. ON earth it's 1:1 but on the moon a certain amount of mass with have 1/6 the weight. And in space, all mass has 0 weight. In order to reduce weight, you have to remove mass.
