Wouldn’t it have to be a star system? You can’t go to the wrong solar system, as there is only one solar system, the one where the star is Sol. Unless the aliens called all stars Sol, or there are several systems where the star is named Sol.
Regular people say shit like ATM machine so why would a gas station yokel be more precise just because he knows aliens exist?
If I’m understanding my Google search correctly it would actually be planetary system since they were looking a planet in an nothing system. I think by definition star systems don’t include planets.
Yes, though Far Side isn’t exactly known for its scientific accuracy.
I don’t know about that, it was groundbreaking in labelling dinosaur parts. Just ask Thog Simmons
