OK then, I'll kinda re-format. Aand you ninja'd me, so I'm editing again.

AEROSPACE: I am proposing the start of a program called QSSL (Quick Surface-Space Launcher), this would be an Aerospace which has a higher than average (how much is that?) payload, a max safety value of 95% and will be able to get ready for flight in a max of 7 days. This will be made of high-quality materials for light weight, durability, and ease of re-deployment. It will use the custom SABRE engine.

SATELLITE: I am proposing the start of a program called ReLaunch. This will be a semi-automatic (Earth-controlled) satellite that can be used to repair, refuel, and re-launch. This project will be pursued after the QSSL project finishes. It will have solar panels for prolonged operation and specially designed to dock with the QSSL and other craft.

DARN ninja'd again!
Yes that's what I basically mean, DeadMeat.

Sorry about the ninja! Noted for later 

Preliminary notes
QSSL Space Shuttle
-Can perform: Orbital Insertion, Heavy Satellite delivery, Space Station resupply, Docking, EVA.
Advanced Sabre engine
-Payload cap: 5(Shuttle(2) + heavy satellite(3))
Cost estimate: High
Safety Factor begins at: ***Will roll when program starts***

ReLaunch Heavy Satellite
-Can perform: refuel, repair
Payload cost:3
Cost estimate: Medium
SF begins at: ***Will roll when program starts***

You don't need to reformat it Tolyk, it's my job to turn ideas into the game mechanics As long as I know what people are talking about it should be fine.

[TolyK]

okay.

[Deadmeat1471]

Also I didnt realise it was you who posted before The latter post i'll use. Also you can't have two companies, but I'll leave the door open for a hostile takeover in the future!

Note to new people

Don't be afraid if you dont know much about space flight, or cant put many details in. I can work out what people want from a very basic suggestion like - A better space shuttle, improve ISS, and use it.
All are welcome!

[Taricus]

In as the FKA.

[Deadmeat1471]

Added, youll get a PM about the FKA and its funds/equipment in a day or two for the first turn!

This looks like a very interesting thread! I've tried the BARIS freeware version for a few turns, but I got discouraged when the Russians started beating me handily.

I'd probably be most interested in joining in a smaller role as I'd be worried about messing up a nation's chances of getting to Mars if I were actually in charge.

Take a company making something like rockets, pretty simple that one.
"I want a rocket that can lift a satellite"
Or maybe you could be an investor. Youll get a small amount of money to invest in companys, who in return will give you a % of their profit if their program sells.

Example:
You could give Tolyk's company some money, with the contract clause that when/if he sells/leases his product you get a certain % (say 20%) of the profits! - Your goal being to make lotsa lotsa moneys 

Glad you think it's interesting, I've learnt alot about possible Mars colonisation from researching this!

[TolyK]

I like that. I want to start working now. Win-win situation, really.

[Knave]

Hmmmm,

Perhaps I can join as the Ad Astra Rocket Company that is currently working on the VASIMR plasma engine technology?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket

Seems like it will be the fastest way to make a quick trip to Mars and or the moon.

Once we have a working engine we can move on to designing Space Tugs to transport supplies?

[TolyK]

are you sure you don't want to be an investor? you get money. also I could pick that up if you want.

You can do that if you want, but I must warn it will be expensive! not impossible however.
Tolyk seems to be offering you your first clause for a contract  To start a Plasma engine program.
