Spooty

Just outside Spiffheim, Maskerade
Von Spraun looked out upon the site, he had been given this land by Mr Spiff himself if Spraun could do it, if he could take a Spooty into space, and could he do it? So far no, every attempt at even launching a rocket had failed, he had seen Monkey after Monkey smeer themselves across the field, he sighed, this was a momentous task, getting a nation into space would not be easy but it would open a whole set of great things, Spooty itself would gain in international respect, for too long it had remained in the technological dark ages, and Von Spraun he would become the greatest scientist in the whole of Spooty, but all he needed to do was to get off the ground.
A rocket stood on the platform, the sun cast a long shadow over the field, the Monkey Pilot looked around ooking occasionally, it had been strapped in and was ready to experience the flight, outside teams of engineers and Monkeys ran about attempting to push buttons and flick switches, a countdown slowly ticked in the background, occasionally a scientist would stop, look at the counter and run off again, slowly the digits 11 became 10, 10 seconds left to get everything ready or another Monkey dies, the pressure was on, 5, a final check of all systems before launch, 3, 2, 1, BANG! The ship explodes, Monkey entrails are thrown over the crowd of scientists who looked shocked at the platform, terrible, but still we must continue.
(OOC: here's the premise, i'm trying to bring my nation out of it's current dark age technology and into true MT, this involves sending a Spooty into space, I would rather stumble about in the dark for a while but if you want to send small assistance then go ahead, i'm not too brilliantly sure where this is going but i'm hoping somthing will magically form itself)
