Eh, could be worse.
Would you rather have it on our first launch?

More like it gets off the ground, then crashes right back down, just as the Labor MP shows up to discuss our funding, and he gets to watch the biggest fireball around.
Or it gets into the air fine, but then veers off wildly, crashes into our most expensive building, then explodes and kills most of our staff and equipment, resulting in major setbacks and a PR disaster?More like it gets off the ground, then crashes right back down, just as the Labor MP shows up to discuss our funding, and he gets to watch the biggest fireball around.

True although haveing the military and the labor party somewhat hostile to our cause is not particularly helpful. I expected the PR man one to fail just to the low odds on the first try but would have figured 82% a relatively safe bet.Eh, could be worse.

Nothing's safe when rolling dice, ever.
@Roarian by "the southern island" did you mean "The South Island" (that's it's actual proper name, though it was "The Middle Island" for a while in the early days) or Stuart Island (which is the decent sized one imediately south of it)?
3D printing is all over the place already. Pretty such vitro meat is implied to be as well.
we should research 3d printing and vitro meat as they are ostensibly useful for space stations and can revolutionise the economy.
Just thought of something.....
It's somewhat...potentially dangerous, but....let's for the sake of argument, say we actually went with researching and building a Thorium MSR.
Can we use it to build a re-usable SSTO craft? Or would it be too heavy for that sort of thing?
We might be able to research VASIMIR to get a nuclear fission based drive that doesn't rely on repeated detonations of nuclear devices, but the question is...
Can we use it to get something like a space elevator up and running before the public freaks out over something that flies over their heads being powered by nuclear fission?
Derped hard and responded in the wrong thread . Nothing to see here,
And computers good enough to both controll the systems and do high detail scans and modeling.Derped hard and responded in the wrong thread . Nothing to see here,
What would the biggest prerequisites for 3D modeling be then? First more research into material sciences/plastics? Quicken the development of lasers?
