3Q61

No project is launched, so we keep training our staff. 4 pilots and 7 ground controllers are sent off to school. We also expand our research centre to the next size, so we can hire more scientists.

Nothing happens at all. We keep doing research, and most of our staff are still in school.

1Q62

We fire two scientists (these were some of the "free" scientists we recieved at start, but they simply were not good enough to keep or train), and we hire 6 new ones. We have one more slot available, but there were no more people to hire that had decent skills.
We also hire three flight controllers, again here too we have room for more (4 more), but the available people are not good enough.
As always our unneeded personell is sent to school.

Another quarter where nothing happens. Time is ticking, and we now have 46 quarters remaining before we HAVE to be at the moon

3Q62

With our new scientists reporting for duty, we open a new program, the Ranger 3 Lunar Impactor.
As usual, staff is trained. We know that we will need every bit of skill if we are to succeed down the line.

4Q62

A quiet quarter. One scientist comes back from school, and is exchanged with one of the others doing research on the Pioneer IV. The replaced scientist is sent to school.

1Q63

A new budgte is passed, and we recieve max funding available. We also hire more staff, two new flight controllers are hired, but we had hoped for four. But too many tomatoes around. We also hire the last available scientist.
Although the Pioneer IV is ready, the Proton rocket is not, so we have to wait a little longer before launching.

2Q63

We are now waiting for the flight controllers to return from school. When they do, we will launch the Pioneer IV. Apart from that, nothing.

3Q63

We decide to launch the Pioneer IV, and we open a new moon programme, the Lunar Orbiter.
All unneeded staff is as always sent to school.

4Q63

We close down the Pioneer IV programme, and we train unused staff. We also expand our research department. This is a quarter too late, and really a F-up by me. It takes two quarters to complete, so if I had expanded it last turn, I would be able to hire new scientists at the start of the year (you can only hire staff once per year). Due to this, I will have wasted one quarter in terms of the new scientists.

2Q64

We send a lot of staff to school, and we open a new rocket programme, as our current rockets will be too small to achieve a lunar landing. We go with the Soviet UR-700. The reason is simple, it is as difficult as the US ones to research, has higher payload capability, and it is cheaper. The only thing going for the US ones is a slightly higher max R&D value, but since both are in the 90s, it does not matter much imo.

3Q64

We keep training our staff, apart from that we need to save up some cash again, as we are down to 3k in our budget. Our next expenditures will be a few missions (shortly), and opening our last lunar probe research.

We send our flight controllers to school, and we open the Surveyor Lunar Lander programme, although we do not have researchers for it yet.

1Q65

Although we feel that the Ranger3 can be launched now, we lack the funds to do so, so nothing happens.

2Q65

We send our flight controllers to school once more. This means that we have in effect delayed all launches for two quarters.

We now have some cash in store, so we wait this turn to allow our flightcontrollers to arrive back from school.

4Q65

We launch the Ranger 3, and we sack two scientists (of those we started with, whose skills are not up to scratch, and too low to be trained).

Not the start of -66 we had hoped for. We simply end the turn.

Game ended due to hdd issues

However, this would not have succeeded, as I was getting too far behind in R&D to complete a lunar landing by -73.
As I see it after this (and a few other playthroughs), you need to get research going asap, preferably 2xRockets, and 3-5 payloads. It does not matter if you have not launched too many missions untill mid 60s, but then you need to get all the lunar probes going to unlock the lunar landing research.
