First ion test is a minor failure. Ion is returned to Earth.
Second Ion test is a success. You are on your way to the inner planets.

Perform full Rendezvous Testing using the Probe and Juno rockets
I’ll wait to see what happens with Rendezvous Testing before continuing my turn.
And whether your Soyez explode…
Fair point

The final rendezvous card is a minor failure.
@pillbox Pick a component to damage.
I assume you spend $5 to remove this final outcome?
Please damage a Juno rocket. That is correct, spend $5 to remove the outcome.
I will end my turn there. I plan to do a test landing still this year and am hoping someone would like to help fund that work.
(Pillbox, I’m planning to do test landings next turn and will be passing on the results to you as per our agreement.)
(Oh, right! I completely forgot about that. Then disregard!)
I have $7 left… I will hold onto it for now looking for, potentially, a good investment for it.
Edit: scratch that, I have $2 remaining. I paid off the Rendezvous failure

I think I’ve broken the rules. Vostok requires Re-Entry, but I bought Life Support first. How should we resolve this? I mean, I could buy Re-Entry this time, but I’ve already seen three Life Support draws…
How would you propose to resolve it?
Two suggestions…
-
Buy reentry this turn, draw no outcome cards on life support.
-
Buy reentry this turn, I junk the three outcomes on life support and draw three replacements.

I think option 2 is probably fairest. Sorry about this.
Buy re-entry, reserve 15 for testing life support.
