Dang. Should have kept my mouth shut.
No Biologists yet. How about a Power and Propulsion scientist?
Mid-April 1953: Avernite has completed +20% Mining efficiency, and has started work on +20% Research efficiency with one lab, handing over his other four labs to our Power and Propulsion scientist (Herbert West?) who is working towards our first spaceship engine tech.
Cool, always meant to get into this game.
I'll join the navy please. Just give me a ship and point me at the xenos.I will start making Exterminatus 'contingencies' right away!
All hail the Great Emu.

I like to join the navy as well. Exploring the planets and blowing up aliens seems like a fun thing to do.
Does being a politician do anything under your reign?
Or will I just pretend to be doing things while being completely useless?
Might as join in as a politician, as we don't have any of those in this game yet, and that's just unrealistic.

I'm in. Would love to join the navy please. I've always wanted to explore the stars.
We have completed our first Power tech (Pressurized Water Reactor) and have started work on our first Propulsion tech (Nuclear Thermal Propulsion). We expect to launch our first functional spacecraft (a Geo-scout) in the early 1960s.
March 28th, 1955.
Our progress so far:
From our original total of 6 research labs, we have expanded to 13 labs distributed one per scientist except that our Power and Propulsion scientist has nine labs. He is working on our first spaceship propulsion tech, Nuclear Thermal Propulsion.
Our starting total of 5000 conventional industries gave us an initial industrial strength of 6000 construction points per year (including my own bonus as leader). By converting 1500 of them to TN construction factories and researching a +20% construction tech, we have roughly quadrupled (x4) that total, to 25,632 construction points per year.
Minerals still look OK, but our Mercassium reserves are beginning to be a concern. Mercassium is used to build research labs and spaceship life support systems.

We expect to lay down our first Geo-Survey vessels in late summer of 1956. In order to speed up the completion of these survey craft, we are using construction factories to pre-build ship components as our scientists complete the component designs. Four 50-ton NTP (nuclear thermal propulsion) engines have been finished and delivered to the shipyard, in anticipation of the start of the Geo-Survey Vessel construction.
Still waiting on designs for the Geo-Survey scanners and Duranium hull armor, both techs under development and due to complete in summer 1956.

Step by step we reach ever closer to reaching the stars and beyond, in the name of our Glorious Leader, Blue Emu!

Our first two spaceships, the ESNS Agassiz and ESNS Hutton, have been laid down at the Vulcan Foundries, to be assembled using pre-built components. Because the engines and sensors were supplied by our construction factories, it will only take four months and ten days to complete these two vessels.
Note that the vessels carry sufficient life-support for a two-year mission, and can support five extra people in addition to their 55-man crew. This will enable them to carry teams (such as Geology teams) and drop them off to search bodies of interest, on-site.

Could we put ground forces on to launch a preemptive invasion of Venus? I don't trust any planet that can't support life.
Put me in as a tyrannical planetary Governor and we’ll show any future colonists what for.
