2000 to 2100
2000~
The Millennium turns with only a slight amount of chaos, mostly
caused by mayhem created by nervous religious zealots and computer geeks.
2010~
The Manned Space Station is finally completed, mostly with
American and British dollars, as the rest of the world fails in their promised funding.
2030~
Man finally reaches Mars, years behind schedule.
2050~
A another space station is built in orbit around the moon. Hard
line mining of the moon begins and space production is in full throttle.
2060~
China enters the space race with the completion of their Earth
Orbiter, a small space station designed mainly as a manufacturing station.
2070~
The Mars Orbiting Space Station is completed. Barely what could be
considered an outpost, it soon spreads and construction begins on the much larger Gates Corp. Space Station using ore brought from the moon.
2080~
Britain, the USA, China, the European Coalition, Japan, and the
Arabian Empire all emerge as dominate world powers.
