Research:
1st floor: (Chassis Scientist) Redesign the basic single stage hull to survive reentry. ($1000)
2nd floor: Solar cell technology ($1000)
3rd floor: Solar Powered Transceiver Satellite ($1000)

Design and Production:
Hold on upgrading probably-unneeded Moineau I specs.
IF ROCKET EXPLODES: Build another Moineau I (Racnor has agreed to supply me a second engine if needed, and I'll pay for the costs.)

Missions:
Launch Moineau I with radio transmitter (Stable LEO).

Construction:
None

Other:
Within five turns, FIEE will return a rocket to Earth from space, without it burning up in the atmosphere.
If launch and satellite test succeed, contact the French government to see how much they'll pay for satellite services.
Give Racnor fuel efficiency instead of a second year of transmitter research.

Total expenses:
-$3000 (And satellite costs)

Oh damn.... Did I forget to put everything inside the hull....
It would have been 10m with reserved space of 2m.....

My unorthodox rocket with fuel, and engine exposed and hanging off the side...  :'(

Research:
Lab 1 will improve the capacity of the small fuel tank (-$1000)
Lab 2 will reduce the weight of the radio transmitter satellite further with the help of the Electronics Expert (if weight is reduced to minimum, work on the lifetime) (-$1000)
Research cost: $2000

Design:
None this year.

Production:
Produce 1 Arrow I (-$675)
Production cost: $675

Missions:
Launch the prototype Arrow I to examine its design for flaws. Use Lobbyist ability on this launch.

Total cost: $2675

Lab: Researchers will research more potent fuels (-1000)

Design:none at the moment

Construction: None

Other: SFM will test launch their first rocket, and the GERMAN mathematician will crunch numbers to ensure a successful flight;
I will publicize the launch, attracting attention from he media(-1000)

Summary: (-2000)

OOC: So again guys, I'm willing to cash in on my fuel production facilities - if you want cheap fuel then contact me :-)

((I'm not sure it's worth it. 1m of fuel tank costs $50. That's $350 for 7, so I'd've saved at most $70 from my rocket, minus shipping fees.

Research better fuel tanks and you'll have buyers.))

Or..... You could buy the peregrine mk1!!
Which will eventually be able to launch stuff...

Everything will be named after birds.
Peregrines are known for light weight, and speeds
My next one might be the Pelican, a rocket made soley for launching stuff into space

And then my ultimate craft will be called the Kestrel

You know small numbers add up :D But yeah next turn, depending on results now I was going to research tanks + fuel tech.

Only half of us have our turns in. If we show enough enthusiasm, we might get more turns (Or at least less skipped turns.).

I'm not really interested in playing this anymore.  Given how long the turns take it feels like it would take months for the action to start.
