"Don't worry. The first Mercury launch will be unmanned. Then we'll do the suits. You wont be going outside to start with anyway.""Uh, if we're going to be going up into space, shouldn't we have EVA suits?"
Whoops. I thought money came in every 6 months, not every year. My bad... okay. Hang on. Sorry for spamming with plans, i'm confusing myself. Lets just do 58 eh? We've done all of '57 haven't we...PeZook wrote:*sigh*

Your plan for Spring 1958 spends 40 MB, leaving you with 24.
Fall 1958 will require another 40. Whoops, doesn't add up, since you get more cash in spring.

Is there any mechnical advantage in a second mission after the first is successful? Like improvingrocket reliability? If so then yes, if not then no.PeZook wrote:One more question for Zenobians: if the first satellite does go up, do you scrub the second mission, or launch it?

As Director Of Operations of the Baikonurek Cosmodrome, I respectfully submit to Comrade Commissar Omega that there are technical considerations which make scrubbing the launch... inadvisable.
