I hardly count 8 people here, so why not. Besides, this isn't first come first serve.

After the WW2 Poland was in terrible financial state. That, and it was mostly rubble after Germans passed through it to the east and the Russians to the west. With most of the intellectual elite killed by one side or another it's luck that the Soviets could even find people to make puppets from.

I myself returned from Britain hoping for a sovereign Homeland. Having worked for PZL before the war I have continued working for aerospace
engineering industry during the war and after it.

The state representatives approached me and few others to create a small space program. We were to build a rocket or two and send them into space. It was to be something to show to the people, you see, a national pride thing. I believe they wanted to wrap the project up fast, but we are men of science and will use any opportunity to research the world that surrounds us.

If I must I will FIGHT the bureaucrats for funding, I won't let MY... our project to die, this is a great chance for this country.

The facilities are state owned, some kind of proving grounds... The 'labs' are humble barracks, for the design and manufacture we will have to depend on Centralne Studium Samolotów (Central Aircraft Studies) for now. They get even worse funding than us but they have some great men there. I will need to procure some better equipment, get more professional facilities built, but for now it will have to suffice.

We've got some german equipment from our 'comrades'. Will have to get some guys to dismantle it and reverse engineer its workings.

OOC: How do I name spoilers guys?

EDIT:
Thanks guys

Sent in as part of the Marshal Plan, Well's job is quite simply to rebuild Japans research capacity, he hopes to ally with another space program to help with the space program.

Added fluff.

Nobody seems to like non-scientists. Poor non-scientists. Out of curiosity, what happens if an astronaut leader's vessel suffers from a severe case of explosions?

Seems we have a severe case of min-maxing
Well I think our leader's have some kind of plot armor, but if not I'd say the space program gets wrapped up or you have to make one of your people the new leader.

Which is kinda strange, since the scientist isn't the best kind of archettype around. The Bonus is good in the beginning, but benifits quickly decline.

The leaders have a minimal amount of plot armour (Heroic last minute rescue), but in a case of extreme exploderitis, they can and will die. Meaning a serious prestige blow, and you get to choose a new leader.

Also, why's Nasa in japan?

[javierpwn]

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Nothin' 'bout America

[10ebbor10]

It's however quite strange, that the Japanese are suddenly using English.

[javierpwn]

Westernization man, it happens quickly

[SoHowAreYou]

Remember the leader is American, plus McAurthur was still in control at this point
