We interrupt your current broadcast to bring you breaking news on the
planned formation of ‘Euromerica’.

We can now confirm that the final details of the federal union of
Euromerica have
been documented and signed by all nations involved. This dramatic step
has been
in the works since the disastrous finance collapse, which sent western
nations
into a downward spiral of decay.

Plans have also been announced for the first election of the Federal
Union of
Euromerica Grand Council. Voters across all of Euromerica will elect
representatives for their nation. However, it has been confirmed by
the review
committee that Russia has removed its position from the newly formed
union.

Details have been leaking out of the kremlin
for the past hours. It is clear that Russia will not be part of the
Euromerica union, but will increase the centralisation of power behind the
governing body in an attempt to re-patronise the Russian Federation. This
situation would leave use in a situation of three world powers. The newly
formed Euromerica, the Russian Federation, and the People’s Empire of China.
It is unclear what this will result in, in the years to come.

Tensions have risen today with reports that
the People’s Empire of China has cancelled their program for manned travel to
mars. This being the last remaining program after the financial catastrophe
of (----).

It is believed that the facility housing the
entire program including all the equipment required for the program, has been
destroyed. It is unclear how this terrible event occurred but a statement has
been made by the People’s Empire of China.

Statement
|
‘This unconceivable event has come to pass
clearly due to the efforts of intolerable plague known as the Federal Union
of Euromerica. Out of clear spite they have attacked us in order to prevent
scientific progress. These actions will not be tolerated and will be meet
with the full force of the People’s Empire of China.’

Emily: Heres the
latest news report…
Marx: After almost 2
decades of cold war and 2 years of armed conflict, the peace treaty has been
signed. Russia has finally agreed
after 3 months to sign the treaty which has committed every country to be

Regeneration of manned mission to Mars project. Development of construction on Mars and space tourism (e.g. hotels)
Construction Of Space Tourism
News Report (by Thomas Fifield)
Reporter 1: In other news today, < (Space
Program)>has announced that they will be placing in a request to the US
government to allow construction of buildings on the Moon and Mars.
Reporter 2: For all those people who have
wished of roaming the stars and going into space, that dream may not be too far
away.
Reporter 1: The request that was submitted to
the <(Government)> was said to contain 3D computer generated images
showing the exact size and measurements of the buildings.
Reporter 2: Yes, But with this massive plan
comes with a hefty price tag and has seen to request the < (Government)>
for over 500 billion dollars to cover all of the cost. < (Space Program)>
has explained that this is the future of mankind and that the earth can’t hold
the entire Human race forever and we need to find new places to live.
Reporter 1: Recent discoveries <(Space
Program)> have made over the past few years have been phenomenal after the
development of STAR (Spherical Trajectory ARay) have given us an open mind
about the universe and other ones that may surround us.
Reporter 2: They have also travelled through
the vast void of the universe and made the discovery of Gliese 581g. The first
discovered planet outside of our galaxy.
Reporter 1: This will be a massive
achievement to < (Space Program)> but for the everyday person you’re
going to need a lot of money because they are saying the average hotel/house
will cost around £800,000.
Reporter 2: < (Space Program)> have
also stated that if the buildings become such a success on the moon that they
may even consider doing this on mars. < (Space Program)> have said that
there is a secret project that they are currently working on which will link
with the construction but they can’t say what it is.

And now for our headline story.
Newsreader 2 (Marx):
After its abandonment in 2028, China’s manned mission to Mars
has been reborn, in an international form. The Democratic Empire of China, Euramerica, and The
Federation of Russia have combined to resurrect long-forgotten hopes of
scientific discovery.
Emily: The
United Nations Space Programme (UNSP) hope to have this mission under way in
the next eighteen months.
Israel have vetoed all votes o the UNSP on religious

Unveiling of space elevator.
SPACE ELEVATOR!
The idea proposed by Konstantin
Tsiolkovsky in 1895 has finally been realized today when the UNSA (United
Nations Space Agency) completed the testing of the Elevator. We all remember
the day when the Cable Rocket took the original cable up those many years ago,
but now Scientists have declared the Station, or ‘Celestial Castle’ as stated
by Tsiolkovsky, safe and inhabitable by humans after many years research on
prolonged living in space.
The space
elevator will allow deep space exploration to become easy, as ships will not
have to enter or exit the atmosphere, as it is a large waste on fuel for the
ship.
The idea of
using asteroids for supply replenishment during travel is an idea that has been
researched for many years, and is almost a certainty that it will happen soon.
Also, with the
station now in-place, planning for a deep space station is underway, as a
possible base for future human colonization. Astronophysist, and UNSA Chief,
Robert Gregg coined the idea, as he believes that it will be possible soon,
with the rate of technology, we should be ready to begin build within the next
20 or so years.
Primary building
of the station in the sky will be completed in the next few years, as docking
bays, and living quarters are added to allow multiple ships to dock there.
Also, building of ships will commence once dock has been created. Also,
officials will allow tourists up once the station has been properly qualified
safe.
The History of the Space Elevator is a long one, with the initial idea
being created by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1895. It is a transportation system,
to allow the movement of resources and people through to the upper atmosphere.
It consists of a cable, tethered to the earth at the equator, that was
beyond Geostationary Orbit. It is a tensile structure, meaning that the weight
is at the top of the structure. The top of the structure acts as a
counterweight from the earth, to keep the cable under high tension.
Alternatives that may be incorporated:
In 2012 a consortium of billionaire innovators including
search engine leaders and a film director, start a project to map, probe and
eventually mine asteroids.
2020s: The first small scale mining operations begin on near
earth asteroids.
2030s: The first refuelling stations opened on near-earth
asteroids. They also begin to produce materials for ship repairs and component
manufacture. First experimental Space elevator produced and tested.
2040: Robotic systems begin to run similar operations on
several asteroids within the main asteroid belt. A range of space elevators
produced at various locations around the equator.
2040s: The first manufacture of spacecraft at near-Earth
asteroid factories. This obviates the need for huge amounts of fuel to launch
spacecraft.
2050s: First minisettlements on moon
2060s: First minisettlements on Mars. Covered areas
generating own sealed in atmosphere.
Terraforming operations begin.
2070: Ship assembly begins, largely by
materials from near Earth asteroids.
2080: Selection of Pioneers to crew Goldilox mission to
colonise an exoplanet.
2085: Launch of mission.
