It seems my manned-rocket-satellite program has not been working well. I have been attempting to use large fuel tanks (the big orange ones) to get enough fuel to get to orbit and make it successful.. But my luck hasn't been going so good, since I started using the orange ones it weighs the rocket down, prevents it from launching, and collapses, blowing up right under our groups. I have one group that seems to be going through all these.
It's amazing how they're still alive.
EDIT: Nevermind, they were the closest to orbit but they ended up sinking into an ocean off the coast of another country. There was another group that I gave up on after that since they had certain death in just a few seconds of fast-forwarding.
