Early this morning, info leaked out about the Marktoria States secret formation of the Marktoria Space Program. The date when the program was formed was April 5th. Prime Minister Mark Davis has decided to hold a press conference about the matter outside the Dominion Complex. The original press conference was scheduled for April 12th.
"My fellow Marktorians. By now you have already heard of the Marktoria Space Program. I am here before you this morning to confirm this. Last Sunday, April 5th, we formed the Department of the Marktoria Space Program in the Ministry of the Interior. The original date in which we would release this information to you was to be tommorow. This is a monumental moment for all Marktorians. We have reserved land on the western borders of Marktoria to create the Davis Space Complex. The construction of the complex will begin tommorow as planed. The finished construction date will be May 1st. As we speak right now, rocket scientist, physic scientist, mathematicians, astronemers, and Space Experts from all over the world are working in a top-secret area to design a space craft. They, however, have been here since January. Already, they have come up with a plan for a spacecraft called the Odyssey. It will be a pod that will carry three men. this pod will orbit the Earth for 5 days before reentry. This will be a major step for Marktoria. We hope, in the future, that we will devise space crafts capable of traveling deep into space, our final fronteer. Marktoria will one day be able to discover those strange new planets and seek out new life. Maybe Marktoria will answer the age old question,"Are we alone?" What ever the cost, we will look to the sky and we will boldly go where ever our hearts will take us. Carpe Diem!"
