    This latest chapter is honestly some of your best work!

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    As a lesbian who applies every NASA astronaut corps application cycle, I cannot overstate how awesome this was to read. .....Waaaaaaaaait a second, I know that name!

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    Oh shit, are Sally Ride and Drew Barrymore getting outed in the same evening?! (Though I will say Barrymore's gaydar pinging on Ride is depicted pretty realistically, especially for the time period--there were a lot of ambiguous pronouns used backed then. Also, as a certified space lesbian...

    On Brazen Wings - From the Pseudo Space Race to Independence and Beyond.

    I almost feel like this is unfair to cuckolds--I mean, people in the kink scene generally understand boundaries, after all :-D

    On Brazen Wings - From the Pseudo Space Race to Independence and Beyond.

    As a burlesque dancer and someone whose science research is funded by NASA, I take offense at this remark 😆

    WI Space Station Alpha was cancelled?

    As an enthusiast of the history of spaceflight, I am rather fond of the space TLs on this forum (unsurprisingly). Something I've been wondering, lately, is how history might have looked for the US space program not if a different program was selected than OTL (as seen in Right Side Up, Boldly...

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    FWIW, the US is one of the few nuclear states that has explicitly not adopted a no-first-use policy regarding nuclear weapons, so that might be part of it (though, curiously the US has pledged to refrain from using nuclear weapons against nations that have pledged, and are in compliance with...

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    Are you sure? I thought it'd be in 2000, since the first digit or two represents the fiscal year of the launch as originally scheduled.

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    Heh, I recognized the Storming Intrepid reference immediately. It was true then, and it's still true now--well done!

    Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Honestly, I wonder if, further down the pipe, there will be an effort to try to reclaim Evangelicalism's image by essentially framing Coe as an Antichrist/false prophet figure.

    Kolyma's Shadow: An Alternate Space Race

    Sorry to see this timeline has reached its conclusion- it was lovely reading! (Though, honestly, I just want to know how Air Force 1 ended up being (apparently) an SST....)

    Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Real quick- Did you mean the Shuttle II payload bay? Or is Shuttle II carried in the Lifter II payload bay?

    Holy cow! Lovely work, nixonshead!

    Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    I look forward to seeing any images of the LTVs that get produced! I'm having a little trouble visualizing the stabilizing flare.

    Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Man, why do the ATL always get the cooler space stuff? (Although, I guess it's selection bias, given that a TL where the space program was even less successful than our own wouldn't make for very interesting reading...)

    Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Man, why do all the alternate timelines get the cool toys, and our OTL doesn't? *pouts* I have to admit, that's definitely one of the more elegant takes on engine return and reuse I've seen.

    Across the high frontier: a Big Gemini space TL

    Supposedly, there's an exoplanet imaging mission that's in NASA's long-term plans (at least, that's what I heard at the NExSS workshop last month), though there's no timeline or set design attached to it yet.

    TLiaW: Dawn of the Dragon

    Oh man, that book is such a hoot. I think my favorite bit was the U.S.'s O'Neil torus habitat in L5 being named the Richard M. Nixon- which is even more amusing given that the book was published after Watergate.
