Um Toaster, I just found out I never included the Spear MK III in your rockets tab. You should have a prototype of it lieing around.

Also care to elaborate on the space shuttle thingy. Is it just another name for a renewable first stage? ( Just asking since there are multipel ways I can fit it into the game mechanics)

Blasted rebels with their blasted rockets made by those blasted Germans, no offense to Dr Faust, he's been amazing ever since we got him. Finally however, that second group has got their act together and stopped blowing things up. Maybe we'll be able to get something that the Generalissimo can use at some point?

Research
-Dr Faust will take the small thruster design and use it to make a bigger version. As bigger is always better, right?
-More Thermobarics!!

Design
none

Construction
Bigger Rocket factory (more meters per year)
1 El Perajo Cantor II

Missions
Launch an 'El Parajo Cantor II' with 4 Mano de Ayudo's to stabilised MEO

Expenditure
7750 (1k medium thruster, 1k Thermobaric, 5k rocket Factory, 750 rocket)

I can see one problem with Toaster's plan, namely that getting to a medium earth orbit takes the better part of an hour (unless 10ebbor10 isn't taking this into account). Also I support Nirur Torir's proposed unified docking system.

Neat.

Yes, just like the classic NASA Space Shuttle.  I'll worry about building a mass driver when the general tech level is better (closer to the 1990s).

If that's a problem, just launch to LEO.

Hold on: I'm just stupid here methinks, but is Spain still going on with its civil war?

The one from the 30s, no, but we started another one.

Research:
Lab 1: continue research on small nuclear powerplants (+40 Secret Weapons Scientist)
Lab 2: continue Research on Kerosene (+10 Fuel Scientist)



Building:

2 More Regained II including warheads


Other:
Show the World Media, our evidences about the Austrian Spionage incident and of course the dear little sucker himself ( thereby trying to worsen German-Austrian Relations, or forcing Austrians to pay recompense)

ask if the Spanish Rebels want more rockets now that they are winning ground. In case of yes sell all our rockets.

Inquire if the German Military has finally changed its mind due to the worsening situation in Spain and the incident with Austria...

Well that's just mean.

Also it's something I won't allow, since you're not supposed to know The Generallisimo had them reverse engineer your rocket.
Didn't say anything about the Rebels just attacking stars because they felt like doing so.

Also at the way things are destabilizing around here we will probably see some more wars.

Also, Toaster. You reached the max safety of the Big thrusters.

Is it possible to have a thruster with a failure chance lower than 10%? Also 10ebbor10, do you mind if I make a table listing the achievements and capabilities of each space program after you put turn 10 up?
