W.A.T. Yearly report
Research:
Research was progressing very well, until a liquid oxygen explosion destroyed the prototype. Nobody was injured though and the equipment was insured(Watch out guys, that stuff is dangerous)
Design:
N/A
Launch:
N/A
Construction:
The warhead is mounted on the Regained 1. However, since it isn't shielded, launching it into space would probably destroy it
Other:
You make contact with the Basques, an ethnic community in Nothern Spain. Some nationalistics groups there want independence, and are preparing to fight for it. The would pay you for the delivery of the giant rocket, and also inquire if you have any smaller models. However, selling weapons to them would certainly destabilse the situation in Spain. THey have given you 1000 in advance and are willing to pay for each rocket.
Expenses:
1000 (Research)
ASTRO Yearly report
Research:
Research isn't going very well. Some progress is made though and the sattelite should be launchable.
Design:
None this year.
Manufacturing:
Done
Construction:
Done
Launch:
The technicians were extremely careful and the launch of the Redstone I went freakingly well. It flew flawlessly through the sky, whitout any complication or system failure. This enormous succesful launch washed away the criticisms on it's safety( Seriously you rolled 99)
Prestige: +2
Other:
Your statement is accepted, and toghether with the magnificent launch all wories about the Redstone I are swept away
Special event: Nothing
Total Cost: $1650
C.H.A.S.E. Yearly report
Research:
Lab 1st floor: Work on the sattelite goes well and the progresses quite fast.
Lab 2nd floor: Work on the thruster goes equally well. However the scientist mention that the thruster has reached a certain amount of complexity above which making improvements is difficult.(Upgrading this Thruster now costs 2000)

DWARF Yearly report.
Research:
Rocket fuel improvements are slow but continous.
Life Support Module: KABLOIE. Liquid oxygen is very volatile, you'd say they'd have learned to watch out for it by now.(Again, light failure, no damage but no research)
Two-Stage Hull: You're prototype 2 stage hull collapses onto itself and folds up like an accordeon before exploding, taking a part of the lab with it.(Lab damage : 3000 for repairs)(Near crit fail)
