Big Long Now

As funding for what government officals called "non-essential priorities" during a long ten year economic depression, the Federation Space Agency has regained all funding it lost during the depression, bringing the almost non-existant program back to life. It has already began construction on two rockets, one rocket fuel powered and another nuclear powered set to be completed in the coming months. "We are very estatic about what we have planned for this agency now that we have regained funding," says director Bill Hira. The FSA is also hoping to send a probe into lunar orbit to survey and map the entire moon in five years, and perhaps landing an astronaut on the moon in fifteen.
The two rockets under construction, the fuel powered also has been named Majestik 5 and the nuclear has been named Kweller 3. The Majestik 5 is designed for missions close to earth, while the Kweller 3 is designed for missions as far as the astroid belt past Mars. Both rockets were designed before the stock market crashed a decade ago, but were set aside as the government worked to keep itself afloat.
"The Majestik and Kweller rockets were our pride and joy then and they still are, I have no doubt that these rockets will outperform every rocket put on our launch pad before them," says Hira, whose been with the FSA for twenty-two years. "I'm proud of the team we had then and the team we have now, every one of them has exceeded all of my expectations and I wouldn't trade this team for anything."
