Beginnings of a Space Program

The money has been saved up and the Zossonian Space Agency has been formed. All that is needed now is a means to get to space. If any government would be so kind as to sell us a ship we would greatly appreciate it.

What are the features of the star ship? We are really just looking to start somewhere and develop our own ships. We are interested in your ship however.

We'd be willing to sell you this.
It's obsolete in our forces.

I suggest you make a simple rocket yourself and send it up then carry on improving your first rocket for a nation just starting its space venture, you must never buy more advanced equipment. otherwise it has very high maintenance costs and you will not have the same knowledge.

Zossen: what exactly are you looking for in a space program, a gradual progression to be a ful space tech nation or a modern program with a few satellites and maybe some orbital bits and bobs?

If it's the later we still have some now (thankfully) obselete Pepsi bottle rockets (yes the ones from the issue) and our advanced Irn-Bru bottle rockets (home grown upgrade, the modern coke bottle rocket is likely the best design). We can supply you with pepsi branded rockets at no cost (pepsi may even give you money) and if you so require we will be willing to enter into negotiations regarding the use of our equatorial launch facilities.

OOC: please excus the sillyness but we might aswell use the issues :) i would say the pepsi bottle would be your standard Saturn 5 type rocket(or smaller) while i would consider my Irn-Bru class to be a more modern rocket (an upgraded and reliable ariete or some sort) great ways of getting decent payloads up but expensive unless the drinks companies sponser them.
