I'll give ya the crater (I didn't know that until now - Ries/Nördlingen
being the filming site) but Vesta is more the territory of Mr. Bass and the
little green people of the Mushroom Planet

Hey Rob
No way I'm wrong about the Oompa-Loompas living secretly at Ries Crater!
They absolutely do according to the original movie :"Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory".
My apologies for stealing ideas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and
forgetting how to spell Oompa-Loompa! Oopsa Loopsa ...
I should have tread more carefully over your favorite !
To prove the point, let me generally pick up your citation where you
stopped, of the sacred text:
"I myself use billions of cacao beans every week in this factory. So I
talked to the leader of the tribe in Oompa-Loompish and told him how his
people could have all the cacao beans they wanted if they would only come
with me and live in my factory. Well the leader was so happy he leaped up
in the air and threw his bowl of mashed green caterpillars right out his
bong-bong tree window. So, here they are!"
Rob, the next question is - where is "here"? It certainly sounds like
England or Wales, but ... when Charlie finally gets to look over the
factory in the great glass Wonkavator elevator that goes up, down sideways
and anywhere else you want, the movie shows him leaving the factory
hovering over the beautful village.
What village?
Nördlingen, the very same location of Ries Crater, of course!
Not only that, the Oompa-Loompas are diogenite crazed - they have green
hair and were grown on a diet of green caterpillars in their original
homeland where they developed the slingshot technology for green sample
return missions and the great glass elevator itself, both of which were
originally defenses against the snozzwangers you mentioned!
This defense rests ;-)
Best wishes
Doug
PS the reason I didn't mark this OT, is because next time you get to visit
Ries Crater you can see how the beauty of the town of Nördlingen (Bavaria,
Germany) had it selected as the town of the chocolate factory and thus
launch pad for the next adventure when the elevator was used as a space
ship and docked on the space station (the book was written long before the
ISS) where some terrible astronaut-eating aliens were that would eat
everyone on Earth, except they can't come down to the planet without
spontaneously turning into meteorites (or that's how I remember it - maybe
it was just "shooting stars") ...

Dude It's Oompa-Loompa and they live in Loompaland, not Vesta ‘Then you’ll
know all about it,’ said Mr Wonka. ‘And oh, what a terrible country it is!
Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the
world — hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked
whangdoodles. A whangdoodle would eat ten Oompa-Loompas for breakfast and
come galloping back for a second helping. When I went out there, I found
the little Oompa-Loompas living in tree houses. They had to live in tree
houses to escape from the whangdoodles and the hornswogglers and the
snozzwangers. And they were living on green caterpillars, and the
caterpillars tasted revolting, and the Oompa-Loompas spent every moment of
their days climbing through the treetops looking for other things to mash
up with the caterpillars to make them taste better — red beetles, for
instance, and eucalyptus leaves, and the bark of the bong-bong tree, all
of them beastly, but not quite so beastly as the caterpillars. Poor little
Oompa-Loompas! The one food that they longed for more than any other was
the cacao bean. But they couldn’t get it. An Oompa-Loompa was lucky if he
found three or four cacao beans a year. But oh, how they craved them. They
used to dream about cacao beans all night and talk about them all day. You
had only to mention the word “cacao” to an Oompa-Loompa and he would start
dribbling at the mouth. .'

Hi Matthias! Do you think your Tatahouine was mined on Vesta by the Oumpa
Lumpas! Unfortunately all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't
put Tatahouine together again, so we'll never know with 100.000...000% >
certainty if 99% of them all ever had any fusion crust.... :-( :-)
Won't you be surprised when you find that Vesta actually was mined by
