Mr. Bonobo Bliss — Odie Hawkins

Mr. Bonobo Bliss is a humanoid designed by the Dr. Maxwell Waters Group to accompany six female astronauts on a long duration mission. B.Os presence must be kept a secret because of the sociopolitical climate of the time.

Unfortunately, for the astranauettes, the secret is leaked and their mission is scrubbed. They return to Earth with serious cases of post-traumatic romantic-stress disorders. Mr. Bonobo Bliss escapes to the Amazon forest and Dr. Maxwell Waters and her husband, the former head of the National Association Protection of Astronauts, are forced into exile.
They re-surface as the pioneers of the Antigua Space Program (ASP), the brainchild of the Antiguan Minister of Tourism, who wants to boost the tourism trade.


Footnote: "Bonobo" - The Bonobo monkeys, sometimes called the love monkeys, they use romantic/physical/sexual means to resolve their primate problems. They are the only known species of monkeys to have sex face to face.
