1st of January, research project completed that significantly cuts down the amount of fuel our engines need,.
21st of January, The commercial spaceport has been completed, freeing up half of the government factories on earth for work on the mass drivers.
February 24th, A red letter day, our first three interplanetary trans-newtonian spacecraft have been completed. However, during the inspection tour Jospeh Shaw found a terrible flaw in the design: There are no cargo handling systems. The design has been updated and the Titans are staying in their shipyards for another week or so as the new systems are being placed.
4th of March, Joseph Shaw passed on the message that the titans had been completed and work on the next batch had started.
15th of March, Ronziv has been complaining, justifiably, that the science department is simply too small, however, because we didn't have anyone to recruit to it, that problem went on. Today it has become slightly less as our third senior scientist joined, Eve Holden, specialised in Defense Systems with an estimated effectiveness bonus of 10 percent.
15th of June, Finally, our first Outreach class Colony ship is done, along with the mass drivers, unfortunately, because we don't have any infrastructure, we cannot establish an extraterrestrial colony yet. The problem is being handled. Andrew has started work on loading up all the equipment the survey team will need once they touch down on Martian soil. The other problem is that Mars is on the other side of the sun at the moment, meaning that any spacecraft will need a lot of time to get to the red planet. A lottery is being held on Earth to
25th of June, “Today is a day that we can only hope will enter the history books as the day we set out beyond our world and into the void of the unknown.” That's what my speech writer came up with, anyway. But he had a point, the supplies are loaded up, the infrastructure has been loaded into the Titans, and in a few hours they will be leaving for Mars, even with the planet on the other side of the sun, they shouldn't need more than 5 days to get there.
30th of June, And they have, everything went as smoothly as we could expect them to. The population on Mars will be more than able to feed itself, and there is infrastructure for far more people than there are on the planet, and with only one colony ship this will remain that way for a long time, but things are progressing. It has been said that Earth is mankind's cradle, if that is true than we have gotten out and learned how to crawl. The next step is giving Ronziv his funding and start work on gravsurvey ships so we can learn how to walk. Several members of high command have started molding their sleep rhythms into Martian time so they can better keep up with what is happening there.
25th of July, Ronziv seems to be incapable of thinking in anything but the long term, but I must admit his thinking is of a very high quality nevertheless, he and his team have developed a series of machines that will be able to, over time, add gasses to an atmosphere or take them out, work has began on building a prototype Terraforming installation which will be shipped to Mars for testing.
6th of August, The Titans have been ordered to remain in Earth orbit and stop shipping infrastructure to Mars, why? Because there's only enough people to fill one third of the infrastructure the is on the planet.
25th of August, the Geo team has found a hundred thousand tons of 0.3 acc Neutrinium, which is far more than there is on Earth, although Earth's deposit has an accessibility rating of 0.7.
15th of September, our second batch of Titans has been completed, the model will run for one more batch, and then the shipyard will be retooled for a different task.
16th of October, The Prospector class Geological Survey Vessels have finally been finished. The Small Step has been deployed to survey the inner solar system, while the Armstrong will handle the asteroid belt and gas giants and the Prospector will hunt down comets, after their assigned tasks are done they will survey whatever body is yet to be surveyed.
8th of November, the Gaia-1 Terraforming installation has started up on Mars, pumping greenhouse gasses into the thin atmosphere, over the next few months the process will be reviewed for effectiveness. By the next 1st of January meeting we should be able to decide if they are worth the effort.
2nd of December, Gallic reports that the inner solar system has been completely surveyed, both Mars and Mercury were devoid of anything detectable from orbit, Venus had plentiful supplies but they would be hard to reach through the thick atmosphere, Luna had 300 thousand tons of 0.9 Duranium, and more than a million 0.4 Uridium, the quickly expanding civillian space comapanies promptly exploited that and set up a mining colony, which will be bringing in additional tax revenue and fueling the civillian space industry.
12th of December, Gallic was very surprised at the messages sent from Mars today. His reaction was, and I quote, 'What? Again? You told me the same thing 3 months ago.' As it turns out the survey team had found a deposit almost identical to the last one, doubling the known tonnage of Neutronium on Mars.
