Hello, again friend. What I propose to you is the single most large proposals America has ever made. Our massive space ships, as you are aware is being built above Venus. What this is intended for, you don't know. With this vessel, I plan to go to places no one has ever been. To colonize new universes and planets, and discover new species is what the plans are for this mini-spacestation. I propose that, with our two nations working together on this, we will be able to reach new hieghts. So, in conclusion, I suggest we work together on this mission. I am willing to help you construct another identicle ship, or we can share the same one (ample room), and we can combine technologies. With my fuel and your engine, there is no stopping this machine. Please get back to me on this. Oh yes, and about the Right of passgae agreenment; Congress has lmited me to agreeing only to a ROP agreenment concerning space colonies and air, etc. American soil is off limits, sorry.
