On their jets they blasted off super fast, on their space jets. In outer space they flew in their space jets, blasting off really fast through the galaxies. Past the stars they flew super duper fast in their space jets, blasting off whilst the galaxies twirled around them with the galaxies' stardust appearing like straight streaked coloured lines, because that was how fast they were going--so fast that you could not see the stars or galaxies ourside the windows of the jets, their space jets, or at least not as these stars or galaxies would appear from a stationary point of observation, as in this instance they were going so fast that the static celestial bodies appeared as blurs to the captains' visions--vibrant, vibrating blurs, like the marks of God's paintbrush.
They were captains, space captains.
