"Todays the day then" Daniel commented with a grin as Theresa stepped into his office.
"Yes Sir Mr president" Theresa replied "The habitat section is going up today on four shuttles, no scientifc or anything yet, just enough to keep them alive"
"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

<Mission Control Ba'Ku, Eastern Battlehawk>

"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"

<Mission Control Ba'Ku, Briefing Room>

"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"

"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1" The Controller counted down and the Engines burst into action and the Shuttle took off "Lift off of the Space Shuttle Valiant!"

<Presidential Mansion (Some Hours Later)>

"Wake up Mr President!" Theresa said knocking on the door.
"What is it?" Daniel asked sleepily "It's 2 Am"
"Ba'Ku is receiving a transmission, it's from the Station!"
Daniel was up in seconds and was walking with Theresa To the Tele confernace room.
"Astronaughts, the President Of the Republic" Theresa stuck her head in first to annouce this as Daniel walked in.
"Congratulations" He siad to the Station Crew "whats it like up there?"
"Tired" The Leader replied "Know how tireing it is to put part of a station together?"
"Very?" Daniel ventured.
"Yes sir"

OOC: I tried this a few months ago, no one looked at it, so in light of the sudden interest in outer spaceness we've had recently, I retconed that and Started again.

The nation of Ursava would like to extend congratulations to your nation on sending a station in to orbit around Earth. Given your obviously small fleet of shuttles for part delivery we are willing to offer up two of our Mihály space shuttles, with one of them seen here (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/spacecraft/buran/comparison.jpg) in comparison to a U.S space shuttle (our shuttle is on the right).

OOC: You use Buran's? You do realize that they are vastly inferior to even the US Orbiters, which aren't that great, don't you?

The Battlehawk Gratefully accepts your offer to assist us, we would inquire what you would like in return? A crew place aboard the station perhaps, once she's got full capacity of course?

[OOC: Where did you get the idea that Burans are inferior to the Space Shuttle?]

Though we did not intend to give the idea that we wished for something in return, the offering for a spot for Ursavian cosmonaughts would be appriciated.

From: His Royal Highness

I would like to commend you for this leap into space, and a some small research has shown the station will orbit over North Defese space once every week. This will certainly give our star gazers a sight to see.

Sincerly,
His Royal Highness

The TCS Urchin glided up to the side of the station, cloaked, shielded, and with radar jammers buzzing. It's orders were to capture and ransom the astronauts and destroy the station.

OOC: It's Modern Tech, not Future Tech.
