Stage 1
Launch
On the launch pad, click with the rocket in your hand. That puts you aboard the Server Space Shuttle for a ten minute run out to the moon.
Certify for
the moon.
Every astronaut leaving the Monterey Space Facility carries a Space Station Passport. You get one by knowing the protocol cold — the flight, the arrival, the rocket, and what it costs when things go wrong.
18 questions on the Space Station Terms and Conditions, 15 correct to pass. Read the protocol below first if you have not been through it.
Rocket flight protocol
The whole trip, start to finish. This is what the quiz covers.
Stage 2
Arrival
Equip the oxygen helmet on arrival or shortly before. You appear at a random point in space near the Monterey Space Station. Get inside immediately. An invisibility potion beforehand will hide where you turn up.
Stage 3
Secure the rocket
Once you are safely inside, put the rocket back in the rocket safety chest. If you die out on the surface, that is what keeps the rocket recoverable.
Stage 4
On the surface
Two hours per person on a public rocket, so everyone gets a turn. Bring your own rocket and the limit lifts. Check for other astronauts before you head out, and try very hard not to die.
Stage 5
Return
The ride home is another ten minutes and drops you randomly in the ocean. Be ready for it — people drown with the rocket and a full inventory of moon loot. If you need to log off, come home first.
Stage 6
Check in
Head straight back to the Monterey Space Facility. Return the rocket at the passport return station, then pick your Space Station Passport back up before you walk away.
