Part 14: Spring 1960: Pre-Vote

I missed the Start of Turn message, but that doesn't really matter too much anyway. Oddly enough, Schirra was apparently released from the hospital despite washing out...



And there he is. Nice of them to let him stick around after bombing Basic, I guess? Anyways, with no news to report other than Schirra coming back from nowhere, I'll just note that you have 113 MB to work with, and an Orbital mission scheduled that needs to be bought for and assigned. Here is your current status:
