***In The Newsroom of the Shazbot News Network***

"This is Stacey Keibler with an important news announcment." She turns toward a camera and the image switches to that one, closed in on her face. "Today, the Emporer announced that plans for the nations first Manned Space Flight are being made. The facility known as 'Cape Longhorn' in southeastern Shazbotdom will be the staging ground for the launch. The Emporer was highly enthusiastic about this announcment as he said that the work on this project began almost three years ago to this day." She turns back to a third camera. "With me today, we have the Minister of the Interior, Mr John Theoson." She turns to him. "Good morning mister Theoson."

Theoson: "Good morning Stacey."

Stacey: "So what prompted the emporer to want to explore the vastness of space?"

Theoson: "Well, Shazbotians have stared at the stars for as long as we can remember. Empore Bot just wants to learn more about our world and those who live around it by taking a giant leap into space to try and make contact with others."

Stacey: "So what does the ship that is being built look like?"

Theoson: "Well, thats highly classified so i can't tell you right now. Although, i will tell you that it looks beautiful and will blow your minds away when you see it."

Stacey: "Who is being sent into space?"

Theoson: "We are still undergoing training for the event, but we picked the 2 best pilots that our great nation has to offer. We've also included a Radioman that was stationed on the USS Shazbot, and a Loadmaster from the USS Upson."

Stacey: "What are these soldures names?"

Theoson: "Were not at liberty to say right now."

Stacey: "Fair enough. Well, i would like to thank you for joining us this afternoon."

Theoson: "Thank you for having me."

The camera switches back to a view of just Stacey. She turns toward the camera. "Now onto other news, threats against the mayor of Herbitropolis have continued, police are at a loss of who is sending them..."

We offer you 3 billion dollars for this program of yours.

The Dominion of Ruthless Slaughter will give you 1 trillion dollars toward your space program. We would supply ships as well, but our space program was drastically changed and became classified when we "acquired" faster-than-light technology from an alien race. (seriously, that's how my nation gained a major step toward future tech)
