Top priority should be constructing any and all buildings related to training manpower and researching flash gordon comics space technology.

If we get Sputnik 1 going we can have something impressive to show immediately, which will surely increase our budget once Moscow sees the potential for beeping metal IN SPACE.

Also if possible we should keep all our infrastructure a good ways away from the launchpad.

I bet we're so close to the red because of all the construction we're undergoing. Once all the buildings are complete, will we have any more room in the budget?

I don't trust this "Michael Hilton" character, he sounds like a god(loving?) fascist and enemy of revolution! I vote we send him to the Gulag and have him replaced. I like to look of tovarishch Dyuzhenko, I bet he can bring us to space faster than the capitalist dog we have now. Actually, salaries seem pretty cheap in general. If we can onboard any other talent we'll be in space and back to Moscow that much quicker!

As for Sputnik 1, I vote we bring on any spare talent we can and give it 2 seasons so we have a ~75% success rate. Letting the Americans lead the race is bad but if our first launch fails it'll be disastrous!

definitely no Tiger team, but I question the value of an extended mission. How much of our manpower would we have to divert in order to manage the craft? The goal is to put different shiny objects in space before the Americans, not keep them in space forever. For all we know, the Americans could have a shiny object capable of LEAVING THE SOLAR SYSTEM and the fewer shiny object scientists we have the greater the risk.
