Can only one Civilization build a Spaceship (ie. the one who builds the Apollo Program)? I have researched almost everything but Fusion, another Civ built the Apollo Program, and now I can't seem to build any SS components at all except the Space Elevator. What's going on here...

Is it possible you were missing some required components, like aluminum etc?
I had a spaceship victory last night and didn't have any issues. I just had to make sure I had all the right materials available to build each piece of the spaceship.
 
I have every resource necessary and Cyrus is building SS Components consistently while I sit around... none of my cities can build them. I'll double check the resource thing but they have no requirements... I now have every technology researched and every resource in the game available except Marble.

Maybe it's because I researched the Manhattan Project before and can only have one Project?
 
maybe...the limit of two national wonders per city applies to projects as well?

Don't you have to build your own Apollo program in Civ 4?

Also, the Space Elevator is not part of the space race. It does allow you to build SS components faster though.
 
I couldn't build the Apollo Program in any other city, believe me I tried. If I went to Examine my City it (along with all the SS components) was greyed out. The SS components had red (Requires Apollo Program) and the Apollo Program had (Team Project: 0 left) with no red.
 
i think apollo program in a national wonder, so if you already have 2 national wonders in a city you won't be able to build it in that city.

try a city with no national wonders and see if you can build it there
 
Apollo Mission is "Team Project" ... not a Wonder. I couldn't build it in any of my many cities and could build other National Wonders as well anyway.
 
Another thing to be aware of, is projects include items in the build queues.

I had a similiar problem trying to build a Spaceship Engine, which is a One Project build. City X was going to take 36 turns to build, whereas my Capital could build it in 12 turns. I set City X to build something else instead, but the Engine was still grayed out when I tried to set my Capital to build it. Domestic Advisor didn't show any other cities building it. Going back to City X I saw that the Engine was 2nd up in its build queue. Once I removed it there, it became avail in my Capital.
