I'm having trouble making a corp but whatever. The main reason I'm making a post is to give some suggestions some income ideas.

Since this is supposedly to be somewhat realistic, I thought I would mention some current government contracts.

Those who are fans of SpaceX might be familiar with NASA's COTS program. It basically contracted out commercial resupply and astronaut transportation to the ISS. There has been rumor about a possible COTS program for a cis-lunar or lunar base. Orbital ATK also finished parts of the COTS program.

Those who hate ULA might know that as a part of USAF assured access to space directive. ULA gets 1 billion dollars a year subsidy to essentially be launch ready and do absolutely nothing. ULA and (very recently) SpaceX are the only US launch providers certified to launch USAF and NRO satellites. You may want to have requirements for unlocking USAF contracts like a reliability rate.

Also, in the past week the USAF released a request for bids to develop new engines to replace the Russian RD-180s. SpaceX has recieved partial funding for a Raptor powered upper stage. Blue Origin has already received funding for their BE-4 engine. ULA has received funding for developing their Vulcan rocket that will use the BE-4 engine.

There may be a RSS Version setup by me but as a branch of this. It would use the same rules basically.
