OOCish: Random Kingdom is due, in the near/far/distant future, to start attempting to colonize space. In preparation, a Space Project has been announced, and the following space travel ideas have been drawn up:
The STCC Compliance Mandate
This is a set of regulations that is being drawn up to ensure that additional modules such as extra propulsion devices or external weapons systems fit any spacefarers.
Ark A1 concept "cryo-transporter"
This is the major spacefaring concept, so major that it has its own thread somewhere. It will be comprised of 4 modules, and will most probably be the most expensive item on the agenda, most likely stretching up through the billions.
Ranger EPD1000 extra propulsion device
This will be a basic safety-regualated hydrogen fuel and thrust system that will be used to propel stationary modules such as the top of the A1.
Ranger MNR-1 nuclear fission reactor
A plain old fission reactor will be used to cheaply power space modules.
