MERIT 2011 flyeris (2011 Merit Flyeris)

The Merit Flyeris is a spaceship created by Merit Motor Company as a cheaper and more practical alternative to most other spaceships at the time. With its smaller size, cheaper price tag, and most importantly, its ability to shut off its rocket engines and run on a Gasoline powered V8, therefore becoming a street car and a spaceship.

History
Before 2011, Spaceships were an absolute luxury that only rich men or governments could afford. Just like in the real world with cars in the late 1800's. Also, just like cars there was a man who wanted to make them cheap and practical for the masses this man was Henry Ford The head of Merit Motor Company in 2011, John Merit II. He envisioned a Spaceship that could be for the common man (with a little extra $$) and went to work. First designing a small compact jet engine, and then fitting it into his already built Merit Flyeris car body. Many test runs were made before the car was sold, and it passed all of the tests, and made all the (few) legal restrictions with Spaceships. Then it was time for production.

Story
The first Merit Flyeris prototype was sold on the last day of 2010, December 31st. Then they were sold to the public the following month where they quickly outsold the Gonshasiki and quickly took its position as the greatest Spaceship. Why? It's quite simple. Now the common man could save up enough for a spaceship, and not only could the common man buy a spaceship, but it could also be used on the streets as a vehicle as well! They sold better than any spaceship had ever sold before! Even with its expensive (by car standards) $85,000 dollar price tag. The Flyeris basically was the Model T of Spaceships and started the trend of affordable Spaceships for the masses and is largely credited as Merit's best and most innovative idea, and even one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century. Because of this ship, we now have even more affordable spaceships for the masses and space travel is no longer a luxury experience, but something that any hard working man can experience. This spaceship also vastly boosted Merit's car lineup for 2011 and beyond, as Merit was now viewed as super innovative, and the "people's car company".
