[Deadmeat1471]

My current preferences are :

Mercury I: Exkirby: Capsule skill 4
Cpt Brunch ill put into EVA training for the first EVA mission
Mercury II: Phantom:Capsule skill 3

Estimated early 1960 Mercury I.

*have updated our 2 current astronaut profiles in first post.

[forsaken1111]

Hehe, by 'improving' you mean 'less bad'? Still, we're doing okay!

[Deadmeat1471]

Heh I think we lost most of that popularity from the failed launch, but regained half of it now. Aslong as there arent any catastrophic failures it should be ok
