Good news and bad.
Bad news first - I didn't initiate my rocket launch as planned.
Good news is that I have gained some interesting knowledge...
When I tried to start the launch process, I was immediately asked if I wanted to join a launch that was already in progress. My friend Sonny61 had previously begun a launch. When I accepted this request, I was directed to the detail screen of Sonny61's launch. It's now clear that you need 1600 points to trigger the actual launch. Points are earned through achieving the various space quests and gaining items worth points, or by harvesting fuel from the cosmic fuel station. You have 24 hours from initiation to reach the 1600 points and I assume it aborts if you don't gain the points in time.
All who contribute points towards the launch are then rewarded by being able to launch a rocket on their own game (& gain any rewards coming from your own launch). It is therefore just as lucrative to join someone else's launch as initiating you own. It's probably easier because any number of players are contributing to the goal of achieving the 1600 point.
It is now clear that only by initiating your own rocket launch gives you the opportunity to join a friend's launch (and the invite isn't going to happen if none of your friends have previously initiated a launch - then, you are on your own to initiate a rocket yourself).
If we complete the currently ongoing Sonny6 launch, then I will initiate my own rocket providing the space quest hasn't finished.
Can anyone advise when it is due to finish because the countdown clock disappeared from my screen when I made my first rocket launch some days ago.
Thanks,
Nuttyuk

Those two sentences above looks like chicken/egg situation.
If I understood correctly first rocket launch must be fully self-dependent, then one can join to friend's launch and next launches are easier to finish due to friend's contribution?
Clock in my game says that space quest will finish tomorrow at 20:00 GMT.

RobWu,
You are almost correct. I think that you simply need to initiate a launch. If a friend has already initiated one then you are given the choice of either joining your friend's launch or you can continue and initiate one of your own. My thought is that it's more likely that the launch already initiated by your friend is partly progressed and hence easier to get completed than to initiate another rocket launch of your own. However, if you do launch one of your own then it's possible that another friend (or friends) might join in your launch (but that's maybe unlikely within the given 24 hours).
Cheers,
Nuttyuk
Looking for friends to kick on with some of the challenges. I play multiple times every day, and will gift daily.
I'm currently level 12, initially looking for items to complete hotels, and also landing lamps for excursions to Bali.

ps. anyone know how to resolve the issue of adding friends, with the message "promo code invalid"?

Nutty, thank you again for detailed reply.
The space mission has just expired. I'm not yet able to launch the rocket, but - as friends' buildings still drop space items - I hope I'll collect all stuff needed for the launch.
Cheers,
