Kyrulean Launch Facility, near the southern coast of Dauberline.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of Dauberline"
-cheers and claps-
"Thank you.. this launch facility is where most of our civilian and military space assets have launched, for now going on 10 years, and have seen many different launch vehicles come and go in that time. Today, however, something different. This time, the SOV* is carrying part of our new Lunar mining complex!"
-more cheers and claps-
"We have to launch 15 more assemblies, assemble the lunar craft in orbit**, then we can launch the self-contained mining complex towards our moon!"
-more cheers and claps-
"Jim, this is amazing, we have been hearing promises of moon iron for years now.. its hard to believe all those cryses are actually going to mean something.."
"Yea, Tina, we're finally going to get our investment from the Space program back.. and who knows how this could affect the world market.."
"Jim, I know.. but right now we have to go to commercial, DNN.. YOUR news source for all things Dauberline!"
OOC:
*SOV Space Orbital Vehicle
** Our mining complex is going to be assembled in Earth orbit and flown to the moon with the help of 10 rockets, that way it can be tested in Earth orbit to be sure everything functions, and can be more easily repaired if not, and then moved, fully assembled to lunar orbit, where it will then be landed upon the surface..
Also, if you guys think I'm a little too small to be going to the moon.. note that my land-based military is rather small, as we've invested heavily in orbital launch satellites and other space hardware, rather early on... We definitely have no real offensive capabilities, and could likely be invaded easily by conventional soldiers.. but our orbitals would ensure a little retaliation.. plus.. we have capabilities of economic warfare (since we're so money oriented, etc) we're a true capitalist paradise.. look at what the UN says about us. ;p
