[]After a recent breakthrough in military technology, Tibet announced its intention to establish the first permanent human colony on Mars. Following this proclamation, many other nations across the globe have decided to outdo Tibet or to sabotage their efforts. No matter whose banner it be under, If this scramble for Mars succeeds then mankind will take it's first real dive into the final frontier.

To join this Space Race, simply post that you'll be flying on this mission to Mars. If you are representing a country which exists on Planet Reality, please specify in your post which country you'll be standing in for. (EX: Aoteraroa will be RPing as New Zealand). We look forward to having you onboard, so if you have any questions please let us know. Thank you![]

EDIT: RP registration is now closed. This board will remain semi-open for discussion.

[Tinhampton]

1. What's the year?
2. What if we want to try and stop the space race altogether rather than compete in it?
3. How do you know/suspect that humans in this roleplay will adapt to life on Mars (the planet, not the BBC's bloody excellent police drama from fifteen years ago)?
4. Spoiler your images - they're pretty big, come to think of it...

[Diahon]

This seems promising enough. Looking forward to seeing Tinhampton's questions answered.

1.(A) The year is 2022.
2. (A) You can roleplay a saboteur or as several saboteurs if you want to.
3. (A) I don't know that yet, which is why the initial phase of the RP will likely not be getting to Mars, but developing solutions to potential problems before the Mars missions (I.E. Deployable Enclosed Environments), then we'll get to Mars colonization. Of course, you can go ahead and send a team to the red planet, but that might prove disastrous.
4. (A) I'll make sure to spoiler the images.

[Romanov Alyaska]

Sounds like my cup of joe, so I guess I'm in.

[The United States of Nuclear Weapons]

The USUSNW will join as The US (or what's left of it...)

[Nestorian Tibet]

I wonder if someone will join as China?

[Nestorian Tibet]

The USUSNW will join as The US (or what's left of it...)

I'm guessing by the name of Romanov Alyaska that you'd be playing as a 49-State US?

[Romanov Alyaska]

Right, Alaska's probably not going to be a US State in this RP.

[Imperial Anahuac]

I'll join as Mexico.

[Kazakah]

Kazakah will join as Canada on a mission to mars

[The United States of Nuclear Weapons]

The USUSNW will join as The US (or what's left of it...)

I'm guessing by the name of Romanov Alyaska that you'd be playing as a 49-State US?

Yes, and no. Alaska will be "Russian" property, but we shall occupy Cuba as a semi-transitional state.

Yes, and no. Alaska will be "Russian" property, but we shall occupy Cuba as a semi-transitional state.

That sounds good.

Also, I'd like to see if we can find someone to RP as the People's Republic of China before April 9th.

I can RP as China instead if you'd like.

Very well.

In order to keep interest in this RP high for everyone involved, I'm going to close Sign-up soon. Anyone else who'd like to join should do so before 6:00, Eastern Standard Time, US.

[Ojima]

I'll join, too. By the way, Ojima is supposed to be Japanese Australia.

[Nestorian Tibet]

Prepare for takeoff!

The official thread for "The Second Space Race" will open tomorrow! If anyone came across this thread and is still interested in joining, please contact me by telegram before 10pm (US) Eastern Standard Time tonight. Everyone else, prepare for the final frontier, Han shot first, and may the Force be with you.

[Nestorian Tibet]

Good Day, Space Explorers! The official thread has just been opened. I shall provide a wormhole to the RP here: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=483339 Prepare for takeoff!
