Just thought it fitting.. I got the space issue


The Issue

The recent popularity of a science-fiction TV show has prompted calls for Doujin to develop its own space program.
The Debate
"Don't tell me space colonies wouldn't be cool," says excited fifth-grade teacher Faith Hamilton, still wearing big Spock ears from his last convention. "Think of how they would galvanize the national population! And there would also be some kind of scientific benefit, probably."
[Accept]


"The project certainly is feasible, but very expensive," says Doujin Space Agency Head Anne-Marie Spirit. "We could make it less of a burden on the taxpayers if we sought funding from private industry -- advertisements on the side of our rockets, selling contracts to the Arms Manufacturing industry, that kind of thing."
[Accept]


"If God had meant Man to fly, he would have given us solid rocket boosters instead of legs," says religious type Clint Hanover. "We should not be looking to the stars, but rather inside our own hearts. That's why we should abandon this so-called space program, and instead make the teaching of religion mandatory in all schools."
[Accept]


I three years ago or so (3 days) Doujin announced the begining of its space center and today is we launched for our first time.
