The Pioneer RPG - Get Ready for Launch!

Does the game explore the social/societal ramifications of space missions once the spacewalkers get back on Earth?

Not the focus of the game, but we do touch on this.

...during playtesting, we found we also had to put a dog in the capsule to ensure players made good effort to actually enact the rescue...

I was reading the adventure premise and my first thought was, really depends on the singer if I even really want to play this...

But what about cat people? Better add a dog AND a cat, just top cover the basics... Or make the singer Noah Cyrus, and add a bunch of animals, and call the capsule 'THE ARK'...

I’ve been a fan of Ben Bova’s Grand Tour novels for quite a while. This looks like a good way to run a campaign in that setting.

A billionaire and a singer have a problem with their Low Earth Orbit capsule and the players have to get up there and bring them back safely (during playtesting, we found we also had to put a dog in the capsule to ensure players made good effort to actually enact the rescue...).
