"Hello Bill, I'm reporting live from the exhibition hall in New Nepal, wintrees. We've been present at the Future Today exhibition since it kicked off 3 days ago. There has been a lot of interesting presentations and stands set up by both the government and the Private section, but by far the most interesting is the "Star Stream" project.
Cut to pre prepared video
"The Star Stream project is Wintreess' 1st steps towards a fully fledged space program. It’s an 80-year project riding on the back of the USA efforts to send spacecraft to Mars. It is an ambitious project, which is hoped to result in the construction of a 'Super-Star craft’, which we can only guess, will be named Star Stream. It is unconfirmed as yet where the Wintrees government got hold of this sort of technology and we believe it is still in the extremely early concept stages. The Design brief shown to us by the contracted research company states it is to 'construct a star craft which has uses in defence, exploration, and diplomacy.'" Questions to Dr. Frank low, the lead designer in the project have reviled that construction of the star craft is planned to commence in roughly 60 years, after smaller missions to the moon and mars have been completed. He countered argues over the viability and worth wildness of the project by stating that technology researched during the concept design process is already showing promise in the mining of metals and construction of atmosphere skimming aircraft."
"The Government of Wintrees also states they are on the look out for partnerships and grants for the project. They have however yet to release any planned stats for the star craft. Although no where near to a working space program as yet, the nation of Wintrees seems to be taking the 1st spents into the future, Julie Winters reporting."
