Eggonaut / Back Story

In a Galaxy far far away there was the Republic of Jaje(pronunced as "Yaye"). The citizens of Jaje were called Yolkigens. They came in different shapes, colors and sizes. They were great explorers of the cosmos. Led by their great leader Egghead, the Yolkizens covered a vast area of the cosmos searching for their next adventure. They travelled from one galaxy to the next in their flying saucers. Sure, they couldn't have missed a shiny blue planet steaming with life, our planet Earth.

They came in peace and socialized with us humans. During their stay here they explored the planet. There was one peculiar looking yolk among them. It was the curious one who liked travelling away from its group. It immersed itself with many cultures from around the globe before settling among the locals in Kirtipur.

One day there was a stream emitted from their home planet. It was a stress call. Something terrible had happened. It was their arch nemesis, the dragon monster Comadron that had attacked this peace loving planet. In the scurry all the yolkigens left Earth but one. The curious one was thought to have been abandoned by its own friends. When it finally came to terms with the fact that it was the only one of it's kind left on Earth, it panicked. But the hospitable people of Kirtipur came to console him.

All said and done, the people of Kirtipur had a mammoth task ahead of them. They had to somehow figure out a way to get him off the Earth, and onto the moon, where a safety buggy was parked for emergencies. So the people called for an event where brilliant students from the best schools in and around Kathmandu were to participate in a competition to create a working rocket that could take it and a few humans to the moon and back.

The people of earth henceforth fondly named it "Eggonaut".
