The establishment of a space program seems certain. Prototype spacecraft can be expected to be completed by the end of the month, and small-scale tests have been conducted successfully. We expect the program to be fully operational within six months. Operation *CLASSIFIED* is feasible within 2 years time. Additional funding may be required to achieve these deadlines.

If Operation *CLASSIFIED* succeeds, we will be the first nation to *CLASSIFIED*, offering us a substantial technological and political edge over regional rivals. The Commissariat of Information has assured us that there are no known projects of a similar goal in other nations, however the possibility cannot be ruled out. Emergency measures have been taken to ensure *CLASSIFIED* and in the event of *CLASSIFIED* then such measures will *CLASSIFIED*.

Long live the revolution,

OOC: Just a note Ras, Gracealona has a pretty large space program and I have answered NS issues to make it that way. We have a small space station and a vehicle similar to the space shuttle. We have never landed on the moon though as I assume that is what you're program's goal is. Anyway, just wanted you to know. Space Race RP?

(OOC: You betcha )

(OOC: Okay, start it whenever you like. I think it makes sense for you to go first. Maybe announcing your intentions to land on the moon or something.)
