Hardware Improvement

Description
Focusing a message on a tiny shuttle floating in space is incredibly difficult. If we are going to improve our ability to send messages to space, we will need to improve the design of the dish, the precision of the tracking antennae and the power of the signal-boosting capacitors.

Cost
- One minor breakthrough of any kind for each hardware slot currently on the dish (dish starts with one hardware slot)

Impact
Once purchased, the transmission dish will obtain one more 'hardware slot' (the radar dish starts with one 'hardware slot' at the start of the game). Certain improvements to the transmission dish require a free 'hardware slot', in addition to the conventional cost of purchase.

Future research
Hardware improvements are irrelevant in their own rights, but reinforce the radio telescope enough to take any of the following upgrades:


 * Compression Algorithms
 * Capacitor Overflow
 * Radiation Shielding
