4,3,1,2 The indigenous inhabitants of the Americas have long suffered under colonialist oppression, and under no circumstances should we legitimize further aggression against them. Tying ourselves too closely to the PRC or USSR may prevent us from truly realizing the dream of a space program for all of Earth's peoples, and therefore Ascension Island seems the best option for our base of operations. I further suggest that our research should for now be prioritized as Power and Propulsion Construction/Production Logistics though at present I am unsure how labs and researchers should be best distributed.

I'm not aware of any recent advances that would permit actual military operations on the lunar surface beyond search and rescue, and the presence of firearms in a pressurized habitat of the kind currently in use seems like a disaster waiting to happen. If we are deadset on sending peacekeepers in any capacity to the moon, we will need to adjust our research priorities accordingly (and don't dress them up as stormtroopers for gently caress's sake). Naturally any fruits of this research should also be applied to improving conditions for our comrades in Lunagrad. edit; Comrade Mister Bates, could you link mechanics posts in the OP so we don't have to go hunting through the thread for them? Also how long would it take to build additional research facilities for us to use? Grizzwold fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Oct 25, 2020 |

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Karzelek. Its three year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. (Star Trek the original series came out in ‘66, so I assume we have that if we got Star Wars  )

I don't know if it's come up in the thread before, but just how much of our expeditions' results are being made public, if anything? Mostly w/rt the roswell craft and mars.

I'm more worried about telling them everyone they know is probably dead either of old age or the collapse of the US, personally. I don't know how much they'd know about WW1 but "there were another couple fuckoff huge wars" seems at least simpler to explain to people from a military background.

HiHo ChiRho posted:Well they were caught by aliens while operating a sub in 1918, so I think they got a good idea of what was happening in WW1. Other than that, agreed they are going to take the "asleep for almost 65 years" pretty hard. Yeah, my point was that if they're familiar with how hosed up industrialized warfare was already then "that but worse" should at least be conceivable. But they were also in the navy, which is a pretty different experience from trench warfare. I honestly don't know what people at the time knew about how bad it was at the front lines. We should probably plan to have some linguists go up there in case any of the older abductees are only capable of speaking, like, classical Latin or something.

atelier morgan posted:gently caress me is that nose art and kill tallies This, combined with the vast majority of the abductees being apparently military personnel, gives me the unsettling suspicion that the aliens at this facility were studying our militaries with the goal of imitating them for some reason. Hopefully I’m just being paranoid.

Asterite34 posted:I mean, I suppose technically the Karzelek class can already manage that, it has a range of something ridiculous like 130 billion km. It'll just take about 7 months of travel time at max thrust, both ways, and all it can do is scan for TNEs. Which I guess COULD find structures, but we won't know if they're active or not. I think the Karezelek has enough supplies on board for that, and actually designing and building a new survey class might take even longer. I’m not sure since I’ve never played Aurora.

NewMars posted:That reminds me, for the next vote, I gotta put up a measure to get my flag adopted. That's the one below for reference (the blue circle is earth, so comintern nations can strip out the star and hammer and sickle to put in their own iconography). I personally prefer the old colors but it's still a very good flag.

While Miyazaki may not ever get to make it in this universe, I still like the idea of a Japanese aerosat called Laputa.
