…with no more astronauts than it has seats. :cold_face:

Your cluster of hardware in orbit is 2 Junos.

Dropping #1: Success.
Dropping #2: Also success.

Added those Junos to your stockpile on Earth (now 8).

Action Spend Remaining
Buy off Juno Surveying Major Failure 5 25
Buy Landing 10 15
Buy off success 10 5

Ah no. there is no money remaining, right? I bought off a failure for Survey previously.

Sorry, that should have been “buy off Survey major faliure” - fixing the Juno Success was free.

oh and I thought I had landing already. oops.
I am confused now. Was the money enough for all that, is there any left?

Yes, you have 5 left right now.

With those 5 I will buy an Atlas I guess.

Confirmed.

@Lordof1 is up next.

OKB-1:

Buy fuel generator 8
Buy hydroponics module 10
Deorbit Vostok, pay 10 to remove Landing Success.
2 left.

I’ll pause there.

@RossM to play.

Buy a Saturn, two Vostok’s and one Juno.

Use the Saturn to launch the vostocks and Juno into Earth orbit

Keep cash for testing life support

OK, turn 2 of 1964.

OKB-1 has 2 cash. I’ll buy another Vostok.
CNES has 10 cash, saving for life support…

End of year activities.

CNES first Life Support draw is a Success. Buy it off?

No. Draw the second card and buy it off.

OK, second outcome is also a success. Removed that for ¤10.

No crewed missions, no Food to worry about.

Time tokens removed.

  • Kusanagi arrives at Jupiter Fly-By.
  • AB arrives at Ceres.
  • Chang’e arrives at Mars Orbit.
  • Two single ion thrusters arrives at Inner Planets Transfer.

(Opinions wanted. Does AB face the Ceres landing hazard now, or on my turn? I think it’s now.)

Landing is a success. AB draws a Ceres feature..

Year 1965 begins

(All slingshot paths are closed this year.)

Reset money to ¤30.

OKB-1’s earthbound production:

  • Hydroponics: minor failure, paid off
  • Fuel Generator: major failure, damages unit, paid off



Scoreboard:

  1. 11 France - RossM
  2. 4 USSR - RogerBW
  3. 1 USA - Lordof1
  4. 0 China - lalunaverde
  5. 0 Japan - yashima

Can’t remember. Can you test hydroponics on earth?

Agree on the timing of landing hazard.

Yes. Stations2 p. 19:

Hydroponics modules allow food to be produced anywhere (even on Earth).
At the start of the year, each hydroponics module with a healthy astronaut
present may attempt to produce one unit of food.

I’d like to merge those two Ions in IPT pls and check the result

Minor failure. One of the two ions is damaged. ¤5 to remove.

I’ll pay. Does that mean that the ship is nonfuntional as a whole? Or can it still be used but only using 1 Ion Thruster?

Right now there are still two separate craft, because the docking failed. One consists of a functional thruster, the other is a damaged thruster.

If a future docking succeeds, then you’ll have a single craft consisting of one functional and one damaged thruster.
