Is there being anyone in town who is being ah-- what is word...? "Rocket Scientist"?

Something of Russia's has fallen out of the sky, so is needing to be put back now. Russia does not think can throw hard enough to make it all the way back up.

[If you catch Russia at his house, he's standing around his yard or in the street, squinting up at the sky

I can likely manage it. What exactly seems to be the issue?

[kol_shevik]

Is supposed to be in space.

Is not in space.

[saviorofkorugar]

Do you happen to know if we're actually able to get to outer space under our own power, or does trying that result in a similar effect to when you try to leave the town on foot?

[kol_shevik]

If they are bringing little Sputnik down, must mean they are able to reach into Space.

[RUSSIAN LOGIC AT IT'S FINEST.]

[wizardoftheweek]

... I do.

[kol_shevik]

Knowing where to find rocket fuel?

[wizardoftheweek]

You cannot find it here. We lack the materials to synthesize it.

[kol_shevik]

. . . Would enough vodka work?

[supersizedpower]

[What's that? Someone in the bushes, watching you?

Don't be crazy.]

[kol_shevik]

[More concerned with the sun glaring right in his face and the trajectory of his toss, Russia stumbles backwards straight into the bushes as he tries to line up his shot.]

[supersizedpower]

[So that's how it's done...making a mental note of the trajectory!

Also, hoping it explodes.]

[kol_shevik]

[It makes a rather ominous noise sort of like delicate scientific equipment shattering as it hits the grass behind Russia.

He sits up and begins muttering to himself. This is normal.]

. . . Test Four is considered failure.

[glasscaseflower]

I've worked in space, but I'm not exactly a scientist.

[kol_shevik]

Is good enough! You are knowing how to launch satellite?

[glasscaseflower]

I suppose, but we'll need a solar elevator.

[kol_shevik]

Elevator that is ... going towards sun?

[supertemper]

Ooh - you've got a real proper rocket?

[kol_shevik]

Is real and proper satellite.

[His voice suggests the pride of "My First Child Was Born" or "I've won an award for the best Pickles in the Entire County."]

[supertemper]

Oh, that's not nearly half as interesting. [Sorry, Russia, but your first child has been declared deformed and possibly a monkey.] Have you tried hitting it with a mallet?

[kol_shevik]

[NO HE IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND FIRST IN HIS SPACE CLASS.] Would hitting it work? Ignite fuel and relaunch?
