The seven astrounauts boarded the Space Shuttel Heinrich, named after the great former president that ruled from 1924 to 1949, when he was assassinated.
The astronauts all sat in their seats waiting for blastoff. The rocket had been design for a few years. Finally it was ready for launch. They all braced themselves.
"TEN," they all were wide awake ready for the blastoff.
"NINE," sweat started to appear on their necks.
"EIGHT," they all gripped onto something.
"SEVEN," some started to pray.
"SIX," some prayed more, while others cursed.
"FIVE," the praying was almost over. They murmered about their loved ones.
"FOUR," 'shit..." one man said. 'oh my god!' said another.
"THREE," 'three more seconds... oh my god!' the astrounauts said.
"TWO," the praying stopped.
"ONE," time stopped for them.
"BLASTOFF!" the Heinrich blasted off at fast speeds. The astronauts were pushed back in their seats. At 11,400 feet, the Heinrich exploded killing all seven of them. Pieces of fiery metal debris flew everywhere, even into neighboring countries. They were all dead, and a wasted 18 billion dollars.

(OOC-) Although I just started posting today, I've had this country for a while and had it deactivated. I just got it activated last night. I was working on the Heinrich before I was deleted.

This is a tradegy all to familiar to us. It happened to us on our first space attempt. Do you have any idea as to the cause of the explosion yet?

Sadly, we have no idea how the crash started. ASA (Ameraka Space Association), has been throwing around ideas, sabotage and things like that. We do not believe in those theories. How could sabotage something in a top-secret facility? Perhaps a person that worked there.... but we highly doubt it.
