The appointment of general SwordLordvski as chief of army implicates there could once again be changes coming in the russian defense policy. Recently the navy has pretty much had their pick of new cool toys out of the labs. But with a strong ground force proponent in the top russian leadership there is speculation that Bulgakov may have to listen to the army as well and allow a few of their projects funding again.

Election day in the FSA

Today is a huge day for the FSA. This is the first time interplanetary elections will be held in the FSA.

There will be 289 up for grabs on earth, 5 on Luna, and 1 on Mars.   Other FSA colonies are still handled by the colonial office.

In addition both Luna and Mars will be holding local elections in their 100 seat congresses.   

In addition, Senate seats will be appointed.  Luna and Mars will get one designated seat, and the colonial office will obtain one to represent the other colonies.  This is in addition to the regular appointments by vote share.  On earth each .34 of a percent of the vote will earn a seat for the party.

The future is in space and the The Russian Confederation is the path to the future for many around the world. The motherland has extended it's arms, spreading peace, prosperity and socialism 2.0 further than anyone could have imagined just a decade ago.

The trend of learning russian as a second language has accelerated in many countries, but lately especially in the EU. Many are not willing to wait for their own national space program to embrace transnewtonian technology and are instead actively seeking to migrate for the chance to be among the first on a new world. The 22nd century version of socialism is truly international.

Read on for an interview with Aarif, 24. He is telling the story of how his family long ago migrated first from Turkmenistan to a better life in Sweden during the early 2000's.  After "Swexit" in 2021 however they had to relocate again to Germany to keep their EU citizenship. Now he is taking evening classes in russian hoping to be accepted into the RC and once again make the successful move for his family to a more wealthy and prosperous country. Ironically a confederation of which the familys original homeland is now a member state.

Russian industry are looking back at yet another successful year. Order stocks are full, to a large extent driven by the space exploration and colonization of new worlds. Production of transnewtonian minerals are up as well as classic industrial goods and oil. The current 5-year plan is already looking to surpass expectations. And of course, the vodka production also increased with new exciting brands like Starfire and the appropriately coloured Red Mars launching this year.

There is a lot of speculation going on about what the next thing coming out of the russian spacecraft factories will be. It is known a number of smaller designs from various manufcturers have been under review by the fleet for some time. But there are also rumours that something bigger may be in the russian plans.

The russian admirality however have been silent, neither confirmation nor denial. Even keeping a straight face when asked by reporters about genetically modified vacuum-breathing sharks with lasers on them.

In a paper in front of the International Astrophysical Union, JPL Head of Research Elisha Rak read the abstract of her latest paper. "The discovery that large amount of mass is not affected by gravity and inertia as we know it forced us to correct many past observations. The relativist understanding of gravity simply isn't enough to explain those observations. The only way to correct the theory is to suppose that folds in the space-time continuum."

While Prof. Rak assured the audience that talk of FTL travel was premature, people noticed the unusual number of people in dark suits and sunglasses in the auditorium, as well as the unusual delay in the paper's publication.
