Space Race

was just reading about people wanting the modern era (suggestion) and naturally in a historical mod its seen as right to avoid it but then the space race is completely out of place. so to make it more historical/interesting/rewarding i am writing this as i am thinking so it may be a bit mumbled/rushed but you can get the jist or expand/contract if you may.

after rocketry (with possibly a relevant tech) maybe you can do two projects/unit launch a satalite/manned space getting various victory points for it (and science points), then later rover and manned space flights to the moon for more points (chance of success harder with more difficult mission more set of better the chance e.g. chance of success 1st mission 10% 20% 2nd) then Mars and the other planets (by this point manned missions very hard but rovers/satalites easier especially if you have built up experience of them on other bodies orbit moon.

so for each level orbit/moon/Mars/ect
you have options satalite/rover/manned

but more than one nation can do them, more points for 1st ect.

Could also work as a new kind of UHV. It would be nice.

To dispaly that may need lots of codes, but it's a really good idea and may make space race more ineresting~

Just rename the mission to Alpha Centauri "Mission to the Moon", remove Space Race victory, and cahnge some tech requirements. No coding needed.

I agree with idea.
Space Race and techs related to that did not work very well in vanilla CIV and much less RFC & RFC DoC.
It feels really stupid that after playing really well done historical mod to last era all suddenly one of main goal is from 1950s SciFi novel.
Like someone wrote somewhere Space Race was made by Firaxis because they did not came any better idea to finish game (and maybe marketing their Alpha Centaur y game - semi joke).

yeah i suppose renaming parts and putting them in right techs would do, aswel as renaming it to moon landing (i don't like Apollo as it to deterministic i'm sure the Chinese have a different name)

and the Apollo program (which should be changed for reasons above anyway) could be Vostok program or less deterministic Manned

Edit; although still dull more historical
