General news release in Platonic
With great celebration we are happy to proclaim our latest success in space travel. Yesterday at 4:07pm our first human astrotravelers landed after a succesful launch and 4 complete orbits of our planet. During their debriefing they told us they found the situation very exciting and wanted if possible to go again. They were chosen via a payed lottery from a total of almost our entire population and then trained for 6 months prior to the trip. We would like also to thank The Free Land of Garenthas for contributing scientists and engineers to this project. With their assistance we believe we are now ahead of schedule for our next trips.
In the 2 years since we sent our first otter into space we have made a great number of leaps in the space program and would like to extend our thanks to the people of Platonic. Without your hardwork and support this project wouldn't have nearly the success it's had. Remember we are working for the survival and future of this country! Your cooperation is appreciated more then words can truely communicate!
We do not have a current estimated time for the next stage of our space travels however the stated goal as I'm sure you are all aware is a Planet landing. Due to large number of people from other nations currently inhabiting the moon we were planning on trying for The Planet Mars. Although there are many nations there our information says that there may be more free areas to settle. We will likely enter negotiations on a potential future Mars landing point with the current settlers soon.

(OOC: if you want to engage in any "Information retreival" about Platonic telegraph me, I will try to get back to you as quickly as I can. Just to potentially save some time everything you see in the Platonic description is pretty much 100% true if you want more details telegraph me with what you want to know and how you plan on finding it out. I'll let you know how successful it is. :wink: )
