The great nations of Africa built colonies when we went to the stars too.  The first of those was Ulundi, the name of the most famous capital of the Zulu people before the Europeans conquered Africa.  Reenactors still celebrate the rise and fall and rise of the Zulu people to this day.  I play a British nurse, fixing up both the imaginary and real booboos that men get when they fall down.  Sometimes I swear they hurt themselves on purpose to get to the medical tents.
