'Okay, what the hell?' The idea is to have fun by coming up with a reasonably detailed and plausible plan for the space race of an alternate world where the events of the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries resulted in a relatively small number of continent-spanning major nations rather than the endless sprawl of small ones seen in the real world. The only reason it's even that different a world is that funding a competitive space program is nontrivial.
Judging who gets there first - or best - is kind of up in the air until I know how much interest there is; at the moment I'm expecting to rely on a good-faith consensus amoung the entrants.
Things I'd say'd be needed for a full entry off the top of my head: An overall game plan, a mission plan, and thumbnail dossiers on all hardware required for both.
I've got a plan entry in hand and I'll try and work up at least one dossier before class today so people can see what I'm thinking of.
