In the interest of testing whether this will pacify the vote tally, let's try switching to:

[] PLAN: Two Stages Are Better Than One

With no square brackets around 'PLAN'.

[X] Plan Spaceplanes
-[X] Construct a Sounding Rocket (10R, 0/40, costs 1 Build Capacity until complete)
--[X] And launch it
-[X] Construct a Hangar (10R per die, 0/100, allows constructing spaceplane prototypes)
-[X] Conduct Design Studies (Platform) (Spaceplane Development) [AERO] (5R per die, 0/100, unlocks Prototype Spaceplane) (2 dice)
-[X] Improved Instrumentation Development (Tech) [AVIONICS] (5R per dice, 0/100, improves scientific outcomes from Sounding Rockets)
-[X] Research Program Outreach (10R per dice, 10/120, gives +2 bonus to 1d4 research areas (including engineering))
-[X] Outcome Surveys (5R per dice, 0/120, get concrete goals to work towards) (2 dice)
-[X] Shaking Trees (5R per dice, 0/100, variable reward)
-[X] Rocket Boxes (Phase I) (5R per die, 0/200. Gives Rocket Boxes to every middle-school, high-school and university or equivalent in Africa. Encourages future African scientists and engineers - some of whom will even come work with the IEC.)
 
I want Korolev to win, but I dearly, dearly want Parsons on staff. You know what. I'm going to approval vote.
There's certainly something amusing about having a practicing occultist on staff who is also a rocket scientist.
Only a matter of time until we catch him and his staff sacrificing a goat to the outer gods to try and ensure the success of the next launch.

On the one hand, another Anglo might be problematic. On the other hand, I really want rocketeering to have a culture of animal sacrifice, because that sounds awesome.

I'm just imagining goats being sent to the moon so that we have something to sacrifice. Or maybe mice, because less gravity means less of a sacrifice is needed.

These both seem like fun choices.
