"Todays the day then" Daniel commented with a grin as Theresa stepped into his office.
"Yes Sir Mr president" Theresa replied "The first section is going up today on four shuttles"
"The space station'll be in geo-syncrinus orbit right?" Daniel asked.
"Not quite sir, the orbit will pass over us, at least 10 times a day" Thersa smiled
"Drop the sir will you?" Daniel asked "I'm nervous enough as it is"
Theresa smileed and walkeed over to the window and looked up at the sky
"I wonder how our neibours will react" She commented.
"Hopefully not too badly"

"Ok, all four shuttles are T-30 minutes" A technition reported
"Good" The lead replied "Are the crews ready?"
"And rearing to go"
"And they remember how to get all the equipment working, the life support for example"
"Yes of course"
"I hope so"

"Ok, good luck and safe flight, we'll speak again when the station is opperational" Wing Commander Gutsy of the BAF said to the Shuttle crew and the additional crew for the space station.
"Err sir, when will the rest of the station be up?" One astronaught asked.
"We're intending to send a new section up every month, we've been planning this for years and spent shedloads of money into this, so we want it up and running as soon as possible, our only restriction is the amoung of shuttels we have"

ooc: a) your shuttle won't reach geosync, b) geosync is pretty much useless for space stations. Try 300-400 kilometers instead.

ooc: Well the orbital track can pass over your nation, yes. You'll want this anyways because plane changes will bite in terms of needed delta-v.
