FLIGHT TIME: A calculation of the number of years required for
your spaceship to reach the nearest star based on the ship's
mass and engine power. Adding more engines and fuel reduces
flight time.

PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS: The approximate % of the people that can
be carried that are expected to survive the voyage based on the
amount of food and energy provided, plus the flight time. The
faster the flight, the higher the expected survival rate.

SPACE SHIP LAUNCHING: To send your spaceship on its voyage,
press the Launch key (L Key) or the launch button, found at the
bottom right of the spaceship display.


CONSTRUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your spaceship is constructed of parts. Each part is built like
any other improvement, except that when a part is completed, it is
automatically added to your ship. The parts of the spaceship come in
three types: components, modules, and structures. Each type is available
for construction when you have achieved a specific technology advance.

All modules and components must be connected to a sufficient
structure. If a module or component is not connected, it is marked to
signal the part is not working. Once sufficient structural parts have
been added, the outline disappears.

To build spaceship components you must have achieved the
technology advance of Plastics. You can then build components at a cost
