#1 Moral showboating at its finest - effectively punishing the Rocket Owls so that lefty CA Assemblypersons can feel superior to those damn rednecks.

#2 It'd make a great Sarah Hoyt story: The alien who can save Earth, but he's not welcome here cause he's cis and comes from a conservative society.

#5 Yeah, but they'll make a 'based on real life' movie about it where the plucky fruitbat California team wins the competition and everyone else is real sorry and stuff.

#7 Call it, 'Red Rockets Glare'

One of the competing teams will be all white and blond who wear plain light colored clothing and are mean to everyone.

Another competitor is the Southern Redneck version of our California Owls, and we find that even tho dey steel goz muddin n sheet, they are brilliant yet misunderstood. One finds out xe is gay because the Owls' culture allows more freedom of expression.

Don't forget the all black team who stands out as the pure academics. They don't play basketball or football, don't jive or listen to loud music, don't dance....until the end party when they decide to cut loose and wow do they stomp the yard.

Even the WASP group has a come to Cali moment at the end. Leader ends wanting to learn to surf.

What are we missing?

#9 Of course, the team with the muslima whose philosophical views on space travel earn her high praise 'in her home country' and scorn from fundamental Christians. Her brother develops a clock which auto-terminates the rocket if there is a malfunction....and there is, and the team's rocket, led by the Jewish kid, goes out of control and hurdles towards and emotional impact scene such as a kindergarten. Rocket terminates just in time.

#10 What are we missing?
