[Traab]

I'm pretty sure Mr. Big here is human. He is making a reference, albeit a fairly dated one, to American pop culture, after all.

Maybe, but also recall that earth has had some serious alien tourism long before now. And plenty of earthlings have been taken along on space trips as well according to cora. Its entirely possible you are right, but its not the only possibility.
