Thomas approached me with an idea to start an Imperial Space project. Something simple really, maybe miniature rockets? We can manage something. If anyone has any ideas, please share. Attachments:

I like the idea, as it was mine

We have two potential avenues of progress for this: 1: A Virtual Space Program. What with the gamut of space simulation games currently available (Kerbal Space Program being the most prominent), it would be cheaper in the long run to try a Virtual Space Program over a real one, even if the results are not tangible.
2: A Physical Space Program. While we would have to accept that the chances of getting into space (or even low orbit) would be infinitely minimal, this could also lead to several interesting media opportunities. It would however be more expensive than the Virtual option described above.
I myself am ambivalent to the matter, so whichever option is chosen, I will support, and will enjoy the opportunities to get involved.

I personally would love to do a mix, maybe virtual ones we call simulations or studies, and we project some bottle rockets, I heard it isn't all that hard. I may write a little something about it later. Do any of you know about any good rocketry simulator? (Apart from KSP, which even though is fun, isn't really all that realistic)

Note taken. I will look deeper into the subject, thanks.

I don't see a point in a virtual space agency. Even physical bottle rockets would be better.

Well, testing.

Also, Virtual simulations can be fun. And some of Micronationalism is fun.

I have something like that, I just bought a bunch of engines for it recently. We could do a joint launch sometime.
