space goods don't require any fuel so how is the shuttle suppose to take off or maybe the country consumes aircraft fuel

think i read somewhere 30000 units of solid missile fuel might be required per launch, could be wrong though!

"The last product type in this phase, in the space industry group is the shuttle maintenance unit.

This product is used when a cargo shuttle is resupplied at a space center. The shuttle must be fitted with 20 new shuttle boosters, it is maintained by use of 1 shuttle maintenance unit and it is loaded with 30.000 units of solid missile fuel."

-From the game news

So, at base prices:
1 SMU = $150 million
20 shuttle boosters @ $10m each = $200 million
30k SMF @ $10k each = $300 million

Each launch costs $650 million. Obviously it will depend on the amount of supply and demand for each of these product types.

Solid Missile Fuel isn't a junk corp regardless - it's used in the production of offensive & nuclear missiles.

btw, how is this a suggestion? :P
