Will you be working on finding a way to keep people up there for long stretches of time as well? I'm not confident in my scientists' ability to research that before my deadline passes, and if you are then I'll send over my data on sleeping quarters.
Note: That'll be either spacehealth studies, or upgraded sleeping quarters, or something else entirely( think spacegym,...)

Okay.  I've got some experience in the area thanks to the cockpit module, so it shouldn't be a stretch.

ansontan2000, are you interested in making another technology trade, this time for your solar panel technology? (I suppose I can make a deal with Nirur Torir or kingfisher1112 for the same, but the USA has a trade agreement with Canada and all that)

Sure, i'd be interested in that. It's actually solar cells, but since you're a valuabe ally to have i'll give it to you free of charge.

Player name: Anderson Spaceman
C.A.S.P
Canada
Research: German scientist will develop a way for us to use satellites for imaging and intel.
I will make the solar panels more powerful.

Designs: None new.

Other:
Make solar panels and electricity, then ask the government if we can sell it to the public.
Look around Canada for a researcher that would like to join us.
Give RulerOfNothing my solar cells tech.
Arm the 3 unarmed rockets.

Alright, now we just need Ghazkull's turn. Ansontan2000, I decided to give you my computer feedback system because you helped me with the solar cells and fuel tanks, but would it be out of place for me to ask when you plan to put some kind of object into space?

Nah, It would be perfectly in bounds for me. How about we talk through PMs?

I will make solar panels that create electricity.
Are you commercialising solar panel technology? Because your current solar pannels already produce electricty( solar boilers would be kinda pointless).

Research:
Space Shuttle:  Decrease the weight more.

[Electronics Expert] Computer Feedback:  Increase the safety improvement.

[Fuel Scientist] XL Fuel Tank:  Increase its capacity.

[Thruster Scientist]  Large thruster:  More power.


Designs:

[Personal Design]Do you want to build one of these immediatly? There's a high chance that you can get it to fly next turn.
Explorer Space Shuttle Mk II
Height: 20m
Weight:  10556 kg
Available Payload: N/A (Still can't launch under own power, but much closer!)
Thrust: 8465.625 kg

Components:

Space Shuttle hull (20m): 20*350 = 7000kg
Large thruster (2 meter): 350kg, 8465.625 kg To LEO
XL normal fuel tanks  (3*5 meter): 2625 kg
Computer Feedback:  100kg
Cockpit module (3 meter):  481 kg


Building:

Expand Mission Control to allow a second launch/year. (5k)


Other:
Donate the rockets to the museum in a generous gesture designed to increase my prestige.
When they're gone, those designs can be obsoleted as well.

Train both Scotonauts.  Spend 5k on hiring a couple more of at least 7/10 quality.Fast or normal training? fast is dangerous.

Send China the Space Shuttle tech [including anything I find this turn] in exchange for the space station tech he is sending me.


Expenses: 
15k  (5k research, 5k building, 5k hiring)
Ghazkull? Turn please.

Research:

1. Finish Larger Fuel Tanks
2. Continue Thermobaric Artillery Shells
3. Start Research on Living Quarters for Space Stations.

Construction:

finish Nuclear Power Plant

Other:

Sell Nuclear Power Plant

For Nirur Torir

Dear Commisar Xin Su,

I am Friedrich von Hohenzollern of the German Space Project also known as W.A.T.,
Your promise for an Space Station has been taken with interest in our Project. Unfortunately the German Space Project lacks some of the integral Components you have, therefore we want to ask you if you would be willing for a Cooperation in this matter.
As you may know Germany has developed Nuclear Power and we have Leading Scientists concerning the Living and Habitation in Space, therefore i ask you if your Project would be willing to do this Space Station matter as a Cooperation...

Greetings,

Friedrich von Hohenzollern, Research Director of the Western Germany Aeronautical Technologies Foundation

Hang on, ansontan, I gave you those solar cells. While I'd be happy for you to give them, ask next time.
