Space Elevators and Paganism

Hans sat in his office while observing the reports from the German Space Program. It had been decades since humanity first entered space under Berengar's reign, and since then, the German Empire had made great strides towards colonizing the solar system. 

With functioning colonies on the moon, and on mars. Humanity had taken its first step towards expanding into the universe that existed beyond the confines of Earth. Luckily, there had been no major disasters in any of the German colonies outside of Earth. Or else the odds of the public being so in support of the aerospace industry would be incredibly low.
