LIBERTADORES SPACE PORT OPENED
Today saw the opening of the first commercial spaceport in South-America. Both Brazilian and Argentinian dignitaries hosted diplomatic guests from nearly every country in the Americas and other friendly nations around the globe. Speeches saluting the prowess of socialism were heard as the first shuttles took work crews to orbit. It seems that Libertadores is going to emulate the European Union and start large scale construction work in orbit.
RUMOURS OF EUROPEAN SPACE SHIP INTENSIFY
The rumour mill surrounding the European Space Program has switched to even more feverish gear, as more and more construction crews are shuttled "up". Anonymous sources have confirmed to GNN that a space ship is indeed under construction but would not reveal any details, aside from the fact that it will be a far more massive vessel than the old American space shuttle ever was. The EU Press Office has, so far, declined our requests for in-depth interviews or a chance to visit the orbital ship yard.

(If only Sins of a Solar Empire was as cool as Homeworld, but maybe once the Thursday comes this mod will fix it)
For the first time in its History, South America sent men to space on their own shuttles. And for critically useful purposes rather than just for show and prestige
Libertadores cooperatives take a small great step to the future in the start of a commercial spaceport in the former Alcantara Launch Center.
Shuttles and supplies get to space for further steps towards the Space Age.
One image that seemed impossible to ever have been imagined by any Brazilian, Argentinian, Bolivian, Chilean or inhabitant of South America has just been shot. Several South-American cosmonauts have been trained in this decade already in preparation for this moment, the chance of going farther than any country in this continent other than the imperialist heart itself has gone. With the reform of the Alcantara Launch Center into a fully able spaceport, Launches are now happening daily with more and more cosmonauts going into orbit while the mass driver installed near Manaus is lifting an increasing amount of materials.
There is no doubt on what this project is about. Although the spaceport was primarily done by the federations of cooperatives, the flights scheduled so far have been mostly done by the new Libertadores Space Force branch of the military. It is a matter of time now for the first spacecrafts under the red banner to fly over space and start up a new age for the workers of the world. Alvaro Aldorno have ensured that "The Libertadores will have an operational spaceyard soon." instead of not giving any declarations on what is already clear.
The entire space program has not been without incident, or more exactly, sabotage attempts by counter-revolutionary and imperialistic forces, but thanks to the determined and dilligent "Operation Flush", all the lapdogs of those who sought to crush the dream, to eternally oppress the people while lining their pockets, were put in their place, and the only place for sell-outs, for those ready to betray their nation and their people for some bribes, is death. All attempts to sabotage the space program, which during the previous decade was once sabotaged successfully, leading to the death of many great minds, have now been crushed.
It is clear now that the next decade will be a decisive one in the struggle. The militarization of space is now an inevitability as the imperialist puppet UN was finally seen as the pathetic joke and failure it is. However, the people must always be vigilant, for it was exactly the militarization of the 1917 Russian Revolution that allowed for ruthless tyrants and murderers like Stalin and Lenin to corrupt the ideals of true socialism, and under no circumstances should the peoples of South America bow down to any kind of oppressive laws given in the name of "national security", even if such laws would theoretically reduce the vulnerability of such important steps to sabotage by traitors and imperialist spies. For better or worse, South America will now face many challenges ahead, and both the dangers of outside imperialism and of internal threats of totalitarianism should unsavory types gain too much influence over the military, specially in the new Space Force.
Other News: "Operation Flush", declassified. Details of the massive counter-intelligence and coup prevention actions will be also published in the coming book "Minha Luta" by the first post-revolution representative Bernardo Ambia.

Do you see this face?
This is the face of Poland ball, he is sad. Why is he sad do you ask? Well it is because people say he can not into space, and Poland ball very much wants into space. Every day this thread isn't updated Poland ball becomes a little sadder as he is very much looking forward to into space on the new EU space ship.
Make a Poland ball happy, make progress so we can into space.

EARTH RUNS OUT OF CORBOMITE!
Several prominent geologists have confirmed to GNN that one of the eleven Trans-Newtonian minerals has been completely mined. The veins, deep in Earth's crust, that carried Corbomite, were becoming smaller and smaller in the last few months and now there is not a single ton left. Most countries have some stockpiles of the material and experts assure us that it is not the most critical of TN-minerals. Still, all eyes turn to the skies above us now, for further mineral finds. Corundium is expected to run out next and this mineral is far more important than Corbomite.
***************
***************
Corbomite is used for the following construction:
Commercial Spaceport x 150
Financial Center x 120
Military Academy x 300
In addition, some ship components require it, like Bridge (5 tons). Every ship above 1,000 tons require one.
****************
As you can see, it's not especially super-duper-hyper critical mineral and it's a good incentive to get out in space and perhaps start trading minerals between players at some point when stockpiles start running low and other, more important minerals run out as well.

Chile joins godless multikult enrichment in South Kwanzania: Ultimate Nuclear ITZ for all Amerikwas and the whole World is only a matter of time.
Once again, the forces of communism and of the destruction of our thin veneer of civilization, as thin as the LA Riots of 1992 have demonstrated, are gathering. Meanwhile, deep into a state of degeneration and intellectual decadence, most of the people of Kwanstain only watch impotently from their televitz this neck-deep supercharge of apocalypse between breaks of their shitcom shows like "Owch, my Balls!" and "Ass 2: Return of the Fart". This is no Red Dawn, because the last thing the drooling manboons of Kwanstain would do in case of an invasion by the red multikult enrichment forces would be to mount any real resistance, for they are too busy in their cyclical degeneration through retarded social media and "culture" that makes the shit of 2010s look like masterpieces in comparison.
It is no surprise that in Kwanzania the Mexicans and Blacks are among those who mostly sympathize with this so called "Syndicalism", just the same Soviet communism using a less tainted word and false promises they are free and not totalitarian. And it's natural for those inclined to destroy our civilization to join any movement which aims for revolution, not because they actually believe in the values of such movement, but because it gives them a great chance to spread their chaos and destructive behaviors free from consequences were it ever to succeed.
That those godless reds have already access to space technology is the last straw. Nothing is stopping them from packing tons of baby meat and bombarding it from orbit at such high speeds that they would leave craters upon impact, or from using nuclear weapons, which they definitively already have at this point and sooner or later will begin challenging Kwanstain and even sowing ITZ inside there by funding all sorts of dregs of society that aren't ashamed to disguise their true nature as bandits, rapists, murderers and thieves under a facade of "revolutionaries" as thin as the facade of civilization. And all along the inevitable Ice Age that is definitively coming in this century, the question is not whether Kwa will be struck down by radioactive rain while machete rape gangs holding red flags they have long forgotten the meaning of force their way into enrichment, the question is when. And don't even expect that a can of baby food could stop them.
As a survivalist I did my best and finally, thanks in part to my over 180 IQ allowing me to grasp the complexities of Trans-Newtonian technology and applying it in my bunker(How I was vindicated on accusing all these Scienmajifics like Einstein of being Scienmajifics after all!), I made progress in a self-sufficient bunker with its own life support system that should endure even if the entire atmosphere of Earth burns down into atomic flames. I always warned you but you never gave ears. There is still time to do something for yourself and your family, but this time is running out.

PS: And before Kwa', Japan is really asking for multiple Fat Men and Little Boys too by meddling directly with the savage multikult South Kwa sphere of influence. ITZ Coming

"They are betraying their own countries and their own people for foreign imperialism and should be judged accordingly by their people while there is time to stop this", declares Alvaro Adorno on the governments participating of the "New Co-Prosperity Sphere" South American Summit, while tensions grow and a formal trade embargo is decreted against both EAF and the British Commonwealth.
Following the expectable panic and begin of a currently nonviolent intervention of foreign powers into South America in face of the growing "domino effect" of the syndicalist revolution that began in Brazil, the situation is mounting up to what may yet spawn either a return of the Cold War, or something worse. The South American summit, about which the Libertadores remained silent for a while, was finally the subject of an address by the president, where it was declared to be "an auction house for traitors and crooks to sell out the sovereignty of their countries and peoples to a resurgent and soon to be fascist Japanese Empire" by the Libertadores president, Alvaro Adorno, may have been the last straw for the still isolationistic Syndicalist Confederation, which continues to reply to such developments without giving any signs of rearmament, shows of force or mobilization, but merely condemning those who are willing to become "merchants of national sovereignty", but may soon take a more aggressive and interventionistic stance on world affairs as their very immediate goals of uniting South America under their loose but ideologically united confederation are now threatened. Dubbed pejoratively as the "New Co-Prosperity Sphere" or "Japan and her lapdogs", the East Asian Federation is clearly having plans on expansion, and many are worried they won't back down to anything.
Other noticeable parts of the speech included a comment on how "Japan has shown her true colors. "Fighting communism", is only a pretext for such still nonviolent landgrab attempt by one who dreams of becoming the next Hirohito now that the United States are too busy looking to the stars to worry about a resurgent Japanese Empire stepping upon the continent.
Although the British are also rumored to be playing the same game, no speeches were done about them for now, as they have been far more discrete on the matter, and if the Libertadores government is actually doing something about it other than the embargo, it may end being equally done with discretion, and hopefully will settle the issue without armed conflict, specially now as the Libertadores have formally guaranteed the independence of all South American countries unaligned to the radical leftist bloc, with a particular emphasis on such guarantee being both against foreign invasions and against "inside traitors trying to sell out their countries".
The ultimate consequences of this conflict cannot be predicted, specially as the Libertadores, not so differently from Israel or Iran before the Caliphate unification, have never released any clear statement on whether or not they possess nuclear weapons and capacity to manufacture them, which is a very grey area as they have never done any kind of nuclear tests either that could hint they actually have access to them. Hopefully wars won't result from this debacle, but from their aggressive statements and accusations against the "traitors", the picture is becoming clear, specially as this speech in particular was finished with the very loudly proclaimed words:

Freedom Press- A very relaxed Prateek Sanjay, representative of the Commonwealth, today called a press conference to address the public concern for the latest developments in South America.
"We have received communication of the embargo declared against us and our Argentinian partners, a regrettable decision, we hope that after some reflection such decision will be revised, the only intent of the Commonwealth is to promote free trade agreements that can only be beneficial to all the involved parties."
After this brief statement Mr. Sanjay had to return to the supervision of the vast and complex matters concerning the administration of the Commonwealth.
"In taking my leave let me renew our commitment to freedom and peace once again."
Unfortunately he declined to comment on the new technological developments happening in other countries-

Most Trans-Newtonian resources will be depleted by 2021, ethnic Russian scientists say. The resource crises that shook the world in 2015-2016 prompted world leaders to focus on their mining capabilities. Three years ago, it were the governments who lacked resources, but now it is the very planet itself. The rapid growth of mining industry will be tempered by the scarcity of Corundium, a key resource in this sector. Additionally, states and companies are running out of conventional mines that could be modernised. Meanwhile, the space programmes of most power blocs remain undeveloped, which will likely lead to new economic crises.
The following minerals are predicted to run out in the near future:
Corbomite - early 2019
Corundium - late 2019
Tritanium - late 2019
Uridium - mid-2020
Neutronium - late 2020
Mercassium - early 2021
Boronide, Sorium, Gallicite, Vendarite - approx. 2024
Combined with the strained relations due to the rush for South America, might these economic hardships lead to land wars over resources?

EAF BUILDING SECRET ORBITAL SHIPYARDS!
GNN has just received information from trusted, anonymous sources that show that the East-Asian Federation (EAF) has already started work on an orbital shipyard, or a spaceyard as they are known colloquially. Similarly to the EU one, it is believed to be on a geo-synchronous orbit, though above Japan. Apparently construction work is far enough that some well-equipped amateur astronomers have spotted the construction project that already rivals the International Space Station. We have asked the EAF Press Office for a comment.
This brings up the total count of orbital shipyards under construction to three. It is believed that both the American and Libertadores shipyards are further along than the EAF one, though this cannot be confirmed as none of the powers have allowed GNN to visit their orbital facilities. Of course, readers should not forget that the European Union has a fully functional one already. For more insider speculation about the European space ship, turn to page 12.

CORUNDIUM RUNS OUT!
Geologists world over confirmed today that Corundium has run out, deep in the Earth's crust. This is the second TN-Mineral to be completely mined out. It is believed that all Powers have extensive stockpiles of this important mineral. However, future deficiencies are expected to become severe when these stockpiles run out, unless additional sources are secured.
SURPRISE BREAKTHROUGH FROM LIBERTADORES
Mercedes Delagarza Delapaz, a relatively unknown 22-year old material physicist from Sao Paulo, has just announced a new way to utilize Duranium. Her paper, titled "Manipulating Duranium in Vacuum Conditions" explains a relatively simple way to utilize this TN-mineral in relatively simple way, so it becomes as pliable as steel, though only in vacuum conditions. This announcement made other material physicist, not to mention military equipment companies, salivate.
However, her second announcement was even more shocking: the raven haired beauty made her findings completely public, through the website WikiLeaks. She justified her actions by citing "corruption and short-sightedness amongst Libertadores R&D leadership, that have not offered me even a single lab in years. I have funded my research solely through posing in the Playboy". GNN has confirmed her claim and Duranium Armor (500RP) is publicly available on WikiLeaks. Subscribers to GNN Digital Edition will be happy to hear that they can use their existing login details to access Playboy's website for a discount, as the men's magazine just announced to republish all pictures of Miss Delapaz and offering her two million dollars for a new photoshoot.

All players now know Duranium Armor (500RP). This opens up the next step in ship armour - High Density Duranium Armor (2,500 RP) for research.

GNN has just received confirmation that the first human Trans-Newtonian space vessel has been launched! Astronomers across the world are feverishly tracking the ship which is relatively simple as it's engines pump out enough of a thermal signature (TH 500). GNN will keep you updated as more information comes in. We have also reached out to the EU Press Office for comments. It can be said that the whole world is watching, intently, at this historic moment!
Update at 20:37
The European ship has reached the Moon and is now orbiting it! This distance, which took Apollo 11 over three days, was completed in less than FIVE MINUTES!
Update at 21:41
The European ship has remained in Luna orbit for an hour now. It is unknown what mission it is fulfilling. Our experts have speculated that the Europeans are testing their ship systems at Luna, which is close enough for quick laser communications with Earth.
Update at 19/09/19 16:41
The European ship is still orbiting Luna. The European Press Office has not returned our queries. Our experts are still assuming that the ship is merely shaking out its various systems, though some now think that the Europeans are actually conducting something else on the Moon altogether.
