Quelaar Decides:
Orbital Armageddon?
Government Acts
The Issue
The space research organization in Quelaar has requested more government funding for space-related research and development, and the possiblity of creating orbital weapons platforms has become a topic of intense debate.
The Debate
General Clint Barry says, "We should spend more. But not just on exploration. We should start developing Orbital Weapons! Space Marines! Armed Spacecraft! We would rule federation_of_races, and look really cool doing it! Just divert some funding from environmental protection, and BAM! Sci-fi goodies!"
[Accept]
Noted Scientist and pacifist writer Chastity Jong-Il thinks otherwise, "No! Space is a place for peace! It's the only place left we've got that we haven't screwed up. Oh, the space program still needs funding, don't get me wrong. But none of this 'military in space' stuff! We ought to divert funding from the military to education and space research instead!"
[Accept]
Fringe Group Leader Freddy Silk disagrees, "Space is a total waste of time. We should spend more on stuff people actually CARE about. Like voting rights and protecting the environment! Forget that fancy-schmancy space station!"
[Accept]
If there is a space in the region name... it puts underscores instead... check the first argument to see what I mean... "federation_of_races"
This is where we post the typo's right?
