TNO: Project Ares

With TT3 being release soon I wanted to preserve the rad Mars Landing content and add whatever miscellaenous America fixes I can think of.

This is both an Alpha and a complete WIP, there shouldn't be too many bugs since it comes down to just renaming and editing Glenn's space tree, but I don't know what TT3 will remove of Glenn's gfx content so while this mod should be for the TT3 update, right now it runs on old TNO atm until I can make a real version. I know it's hip to put Alphas on steam for years on end but this is just an 'Alpha' since I have no idea how it will go.

In the effort of not breaking people's games incase you would like to try this for your total-OFN victory RFK-Hart game, the focus tree right now is triggered by typing the event "USA_JFK.1000" into the console and clicking the second option.

So what does this mod do?
Until the actual Space Race update comes out, I have ported over John Glenn's focus tree as a standalone tree, which is accessible to any President post-68' by firing the above event in the console. Since there is an actual future Space update and so this is somewhat likely to be finished, i'm not gonna port over Glenn's RNG NASA mechanic. Instead the focuses (which have been, with their events, re-written to be not Glenn-specific but I may have missed some) change the normal TT laws like increasing your academic base, killing the federal budget, etc., with events for special missions, primarily the Moon Landing and Mars Landing.

CONTENT:
-Glenn's former Space Tree is available to all 68' Presidents
-Replaced the 1950's US Battleship with the Montana-Class, and renamed the 1960s US Battleship to the Arizona-Class.

Future Plans If i turn this into a real submod(?)
-Fixing the starting US OOB, which is missing some ships that seem to be supposed to be there; the USS Concord I think is supposed to the USS Enterprise's (CVN) alternate version, and the first Nuclear Carrier. Similarly, some events reference the USS Iowa yet it is missing; even beyond that, when a U.S. that had near-complete naval dominiance still maintained Battleships until the 1990s, a world with a stacked IJN would go way beyond.
-Special US Ship Hulls, which are already-completed, I just need to see how TT3 breaks the MTG files because everything does, before adding them. Current hulls to be added:
--Essex Class (Refit)
--United States Class
--Yorktown Class (Big E!)
--North Carolina Class
--South Dakota Class
--Alaska Class
--Some Alt-History options like Lexington-class BCs finished as BCs in TNO's alt-20s might be added, but I'm undecided on using near-totally fictional designs.
(I know everyone just adores TNO's naval system and totally doesn't ignore it for the whole game, but it's important to me dangit!)
-Future Space Missions related to doing other stuff beyond 2 landings and building up NASA, such as sending a probe to Venus, a Space Station, and other fun Glenn-approved activties.
