• theses people are really naive to think that he black people built a rocket in Africa.
• I am assuming that Lucinda is black because he called her a darkie.
• Belter better not stay just because Mr. Teece said he has to. If I were him I would have sucker punched him and ran.
• Mr. teece must see belter is a child to belive that he would belive him when he said there were monsters on mars.
• Mr. teece seems to be feeling kind of lonely, and it seems like everyone around him has had a change of hart about black people.

By the end of the section all the blacks have moved to mars. Some white people were nice and let them go peacefully, but others like Mr. Teece tried to find reasons four why they had to stay. If any had owned him money he would tell them that they had to work it out and miss te rocket to mars. But his plan didn't work and he was left high and drie.
