Terraforming Project Update

[merob]

It has become apparent that Tibetan Hashgrowers has backed out of the Deimos Terraforming plan, and so the nations of XRay Eyes and Grotesqueri are preparing to forge ahead, now joined by Ruminantistan as well in order to help spread the cost of the mission. All systems are ready.

The launch will take place today from Grotesqueri, and the landing will occur on 11/13. The groups being sent will consist of:

The Colony of XRay Deimos (scientific consultants, currently located in Antarctic)
The Colony of Deimotic Zombies (gruntwork, manual labor, initial away teams)
The Colony of Spacefaring Cows (labor and agricultural advisors)

The colony's purpose will be centered around exploiting the mineral resources of Deimos, at least initially, to see if the terraforming technology will hold up in space. If it does, a more permanent and diverse colony will eventually be established.

Announcement by The Republic of Grotesqueri:

Ladies and gentlemen,

At 1625 hours this afternoon, a Savini 3 rocket carrying the colonies of XRay Deimos, Deimotic Zombies, and Spacefaring Cows lifted off from Cape Zelazny. All systems are nominal and the crews have entered hibernation for the voyage. To keep track of progress, see the region named Savini 3 Rocket in Transit.

We feel proud today to showcase this achievement of Mokshan know-how and hard work, combining Grotesqueri's reanimation technology, XRay Eyes' advances in terraforming, and Ruminantistan's all-around hard-wrok and diligence. It is a great day for all of Moksha.
