This just in from the NewTexas Network News (NNN):

***********For Immediate Release***********

Today the NNN crew went on an investigative reporting mission to the NewTexas Space Hangar in an effort to ascertain what had become of Lone Star 2, the second Texas Space Shuttle. Even before we arrived, we heard loud blaring polka music and a lot of whooping and hollering. This reporter as can only describe what we saw next as bizarre. It seems that the 40 foot tall CEO of NewTexas, Big Tex himself, was doing what could only be described as the Chicken Dance and carrying on the beat the band. We caught up with Big Tex and asked him what all the celebrating was about. He led us into a hangar and there was sitting Lone Star 2 with the biggest red bow on it anyone has ever seen. Big Tex explained that he was just out driving his McLaren (a gift from the former First Astronaut of Texas - Admiral Garneau) and decided to check on the shuttle and he found this waiting. It seems that the shuttle has been complete for some time and Big Tex just did not know it. Big Tex informs us that Lone Star 2 is going to be loaded onto a flatbed and delivered to the nation The Dominion of Airstrip 1 immediately. As some residents of Texas may know, Lone Star 1 is currently sitting in The Free Land of Free Vodka on their very crooked runway after the successful first launch in March (transcript available in the offsite Texas Forum). Big Tex reports that he is eager to revive the Texas Space Program so as to not only deploy the Texas Star Wars Missile Defense System, but also to deploy NewAlamo, the Texas Space Station. As far as this reporter can determine, many, many things need to occur prior to any shuttle departures. It seems that there are many needs that will have to be provided for the program to begin. Big Tex reports there are a number of known and unknown tasks that would be required for a Space program to operate properly. The assistance of many nations will be needed. There needs to be pilots, astronauts, ground control, engineers, scientists, ground control, and numerous other things. Big Tex encourages all nations of Texas to inventory their resources and contribute anything they can to make this Space Program the best ever.

Well, Big Tex certainly seems to have a plan, but exactly what it is remains to be seen. The NewTexas Network News will keep you posted as events develop.

In other news, during an interview yesterday, Big Tex reports that the first 100 nations have been invited to Texas. So far two have declined, one has accepted, welcome to The Rogue Nation of Psychopaths and Texans, and one is in transit. Big Tex reports the next round of invitations departs by special courier this evening. He also reports that all nations are encouraged to make invitations as well. If each nation invited one other nation and they accepted, then Texas would double in population! This is Texas after all, where everything is big. Let the recruiting begin!

NNN, all Texas news, some of the time!
