The second offer is a tech transfer, right? They want not just export sales but to license production of ITs and 1 micrometer electronics?
You get your own, brand new and wholly independent space industry needed to put stuff like satelites into orbit for communication, telescopes to chart the frontiers of space,All the deals look bad they got good stuff well we get there old garbage space stuff?
The deal is a reduction of 32 AP for your native space programm, should you decide to make one. As is, you'd get a soviet one after the timeframe of the deal taken.All ussr is offering is basically some free action points. We could build a space program ourselves.
That would be 8 turns still, due to the fact you could tell 'em to feck off after all the things are built. Also, they a bit angy after CyPac.So the non military stuff immediately while the military spec gear is after native rollout, would the USSR accept that given their current military hard on for stuff?
Gen1 ITs are sold, and tech transfer for all non-military electronic advancements/technologies given to the USSR for five years. Rocket guidance systems? No. Toasters with in-built light systems? Yes.The second offer is a tech transfer, right? They want not just export sales but to license production of ITs and 1 micrometer electronics?
8 and 20 Years respectively, and that will be a valid write-in.
Also, wouldn't a cosmodrome be way more efficient for us due to the fact that we are much closer to the equator than the Baikonur Cosmodrone?
Who knows, we may even do enough research for some of the really wacky launch systems I found through WikipediaIt's not as big a difference as you think, and it's highly specific on the inclination you're launching into.
Geostationary equatorial will need a substantial dog leg, but more inclined orbits wouldn't be too bad.
I'm fond of building a launch pad in Somalia for said equatorial satellites tho.

As you carefully stand while holding Bo Ni and head back into your home, you cannot shake that utter feeling of awe when you look up at the stars and the endless expanse of the universe. How small it all must appear from up there, how pointless all these struggles and hatred consume humanity. And how much of a tragedy it will be once humanity touches the stars, not with joy, but with blood-stained hands grasping another place to exploit.
...maybe you could do something about that? Be the first to reach space reliably, cheaply, and almost mundanely, chart a path forward unto the endless expanse of space? After all, the universe and the resources locked behind earth's gravity were infinite.
All those worlds were ours if only we went together. And... in peace.
*a voice shouts somewhere in the background*Also, our target date for a moonshot is 1989, so we have time.

"But does the USSR?"
Moratorium dude, we still got like, two days before voting opens
there is? thought i checked to see if one was declaredMoratorium dude, we still got like, two days before voting opens
175 Action Mega-Project for -3 Rep per turn.
This thing is kept from collapsing by giant balls being launched upwardsWikipedia said:A space fountain is a proposed form of space elevator that does not require the structure to be in geosynchronous orbit, and does not rely on tensile strength for support. In contrast to the original space elevator design (a tethered satellite), a space fountain is a tremendously tall tower extending up from the ground. Since such a tall tower could not support its own weight using traditional materials, massive pellets are projected upward from the bottom of the tower and redirected back down once they reach the top, so that the force of redirection holds the top of the tower aloft.
That sounds like Guangchou. Something about throwing balls around?The full blurb makes it sound even more impractical
