[Please Note: If you are not one of the roleplayers, do not post here. If you're interested in joining one of these ISRPs, find the main thread.]

Welcome to the Race Into Space!
Before we begin, I'd like to give some general information:

The race will last from 1957-1977, shorter if somebody wins. You will also get better rewards as Director/Chief Designer for reaching the moon earlier.

Each year will be divided into Spring and Fall- however, players will only receive their annual budget in Spring. They will not receive any additional funds in the fall. Funds are denoted in million dollars (MBs).

In addition, you will have to meet certain milestones to get increases in funding and decreasing the risk of failure.

When researching programs (for example: rockets or space capsules), research is measured in safety factor. This factor is compared during flights, so if you have a safety factor of 30% it isn't likely your mission will be successful.

When you want to fly a mission, you need to SCHEDULE it first- a season before it happens. For example, a lunar landing in Fall 1965 will have to be scheduled in Spring 1965.

At the start, I will only open two programs for each player.

SPRING 1957

Masterism, as the Director of NASA, you will start with the Atlas rocket and Explorer orbital unmanned probe. The Atlas currently has a 10% safety factor and the Explorer has a 40% safety factor. You have 30 MB's in your annual budget for this year. For now, your goal is an orbital satellite. You can increase the safety factor of the Atlas by spending 10 MBs, and also increase the safety factor of the Explorer by spending 5 MBs. If you are feeling extremely confident, you could schedule an orbital satellite launch for the fall- however, this will be EXTREMELY risky.

Rockmax, as the Chief Designer of OKB-1, you will start with the R-7 rocket and Sputnik orbital unmanned probe. The R-7currently has a 10% safety factor and the Sputnik has a 40% safety factor. You have 30 MB's in your annual budget for this year. For now, your goal is an orbital satellite. You can increase the safety factor of the R-7 by spending 10 MBs, and also increase the safety factor of the Sputnik by spending 5 MBs. If you are feeling extremely confident, you could schedule an orbital satellite launch for the fall- however, this will be EXTREMELY risky.

Hmm. Can I create a smaller rocket yet with the same amount of power as the R-7 so I can launch Sputnik?

No. Sorry. R-7, historically, was the first Russian ICBM and Russian orbital launch vehicle. Most of the vehicles/equipment in this game are historically accurate, give or take.

Hm.
Increase the safety of my R-7, I need to get it up there fast so I can brag about it.

Okay, gotta wait for Masterism, unfortunately. You still have 20 MBs left, rockmax. May I suggest increasing the safety on Sputnik?

Yes, comrade.
While we're at it, in order to brag about towards the stingy capitalists, order a paint job on sputnik with the Red Star and the USSR logo.

Looks like Masterism is in a game, unfortunately. I'll go ask around for another NASA player. Please don't leave!

I spend 10MB on safety for the Atlas. I set up research teams for gravity, atmosphere, and orbit, so we can learn to how to keep a satellite in orbit. I also spend 5MBs on the Explorer safety factor.

Ok, nevermind then.

FALL 1957 NEWS REPORT - NASA

In the news today...

Due to mismanagement and corruption by some contractors, results have been fabricated. Congress conducts an inquiry. Results in Research & Development will be weaker for one year.

And that's the news, I'm Walter Cronkite.

[Your overall safety bonuses from research this season and next season will likely be lower.]

ATLAS SAFETY FACTOR: 24% (10 MBs to research)
EXPLORER SAFETY FACTOR: 54% (5 MBs to research)

You have 15 MBs left for this season.
Would you like to research in any of your active programs?
Would you like to schedule any missions for next season?

[NASA]

- NASA chooses to build a smaller version of Atlas and Explorer in order to launch a test mission into space.

See, I know where you're going with that, but we were already using Jupiter rockets on suborbital trajectories, as well as sounding rockets by 1957. Your goal, right now, is an orbital satellite.

Do we have enough fuel to get our proud machines into the air? Is everything complete?

Right now, by beginning the R-7 program, you've basically purchased 1 R-7 and all of the requisite components (and madness). This includes fuel. For later launches you'll actually have to purchase another R-7, but it will have the same safety factor as the first.

Think of R&D as little modifications to increase reliability.

Unfortunately, I have to wait for Masterism so I can get your news report- and its bonuses/detriments.

So unless Masterism wants to actually RP and not go do his own thing, I'll be taking over here for him in a moment.

Breaking news... the current US space program director, Masterism, has resigned from his position without comment. The President has appointed a new Director, pwcop, to the position. pwcop promised quick results in his program. For Fall 1957, he chose to research again the Atlas and Explorer programs, as well as schedule an orbital satellite mission for Spring 1958.

US ACTIVE PROGRAMS:
ATLAS: 42%
EXPLORER: 76%

OKB-1 (Rockmax) FALL 1957

Developments in the World...

The General Secretary demands that the next mission be manned in the Soviet space program.

And that's the news, I'm Svetlana Izvestia.

[This is optional, not required.]

USSR ACTIVE PROGRAMS:
R-7: 20%
SPUTNIK: 53%

15 MBs in your current budget. Would you like to research one of your active programs?
Would you like to schedule a mission?

You will have 10 MBs left if you do- just enough to also research into the R-7.
Are you sure?

This is one of the threads that the author takes over because the RPer was following what to do. In an ISRP the author decides what happens next, so I wanted to make prototype off Atlas and Explorer, not the real one so that happened. And the author takes over.

Yes. Research them into the R-7.
Schedule a mission by October.

It's not only that- but you keep jumping in and out. You've been unreliable when we've been trying to do a dual ISRP.
So why would you build a prototype off Atlas? Atlas was the most complicated rocket NASA had built up to that point. Before it, NASA used Jupiter and even A-4 (V-2's) on unmanned suborbital flights.

(Rockmax, scheduling goes for the next season, so the launch will be in spring of 1958.)
