to your civilization score in recognition of this final accomplishment.
Regardless of how many colonists your spaceship is carrying, or how
fast it is, if a rival makes planetfall first, you receive no bonus.

The construction of spaceships may not begin until one
civilization has built the Apollo Program Wonder. Thereafter, the race
is one and any civilization that has acquired the necessary advances may
begin building the parts of a spaceship.

Each civilization, including yours, may build only one spaceship
at a time. Once it is launched, another one cannot be built and sent off.
Ships that have been launched may not be recalled or turned around.
Spaceships are destroyed if the owning civilization's capital is
captured. In this case, a new ship may be constructed.

The purpose of your spaceship is to carry as many colonists as

engines. The better prepared the spaceship, the higher the number of
colonists that arrive safely and the faster the voyage

Your goal is to build a spaceship that can hold as many
colonists as possible, yet travel at a reasonable speed and with
reasonable probability of success. As construction of your ship
proceeds, keep an eye on its characteristics, displayed to the right of
the spaceship window. All spaceships have the same characteristics:
