## 2010s

### 2017

* The CNSA, ESA, ISRO, JAXA, NASA, and Roscosmos merge into the International Celestial Exploration Agency (ICEA).
* ICEA and the IAU become part of the UN.
* S/2015 (136472) 1 is named **Uoke**.

### 2018

* ICEA plans out its **Frontier** program. The missions included are:
	+ UNO\* 1: A flyby of Uranus and its moons.
	+ UNO 2: A flyby of Neptune.
	+ EULER-SEA†: A probe designed to drill into Europa's ocean.

### 2019

* *Celestiology* becomes the preferred term over *Astronomy*.
* Research into Planet Nine finds it to be a false positive.

## 2020s

### 2020

* ICEA and the IAU merge into UNCO (UN Celestiological Organization).

### 2022

* All candidate dwarf planets above 750 km diameter are named.
	+ (225088) 2007 OR10: Boreas
	+ (307261) 2002 MS4: Hother
	+ 2013 FY27: Chione

### 2023

* All non-variable stars will be named by their Bayer designation, unless nonexistent. Stars with established proper names have slashes. E.g.:
	+ Sirius/Alpha Canis Majoris (α CMa)
	+ Betelgeuse/Alpha Orionis (α Ori)
	+ 55 Cancri → Rho-1 Cancri
* All named dwarf planet candidates are promoted.

### 2025

* EULER-SEA is launched. *(September 20)*

### 2027

* EULER-SEA reaches Europa... and finds nothing. *(April 28)*
* UNO 1 reaches Uranus. *(May 24)*

## 2030s

### 2032

* Due to increasing panic in the general populace, UNCO announces the *Solsettle* project, to colonize the solar system. Its motto is *Leave our home, for our home*.

### 2033

* Scientists working for Solsettle discover the Travon.

### 2035

* Solsettlers launch a test mission to the Moon, called "Sol I".

### 2036

* Many countries and states have banned CRISPR.

### 2037

* A colony is developed at the Apollo 11 landing site. A random country is selected to manage it, and **British Apollo** is born. Idiotic conspiracists round the world think it's evidence of an alien civilization.

### 2038

* The crater Ina is colonized by Kazakhstan, and becomes **Kazakh Ina**.

## 2040s

### 2040

* UNCO splits off from the UN to become once again, ICEA.
* The US Supreme Court declares CRISPR to be legal nationwide.

### 2041

* Solsettle launches an unmanned test mission to Mars, and call it *Ares 1*. It successfully lands.

### 2043

* Solsettle prepares for a manned test mission to Mars, to be completed in 2047.

### 2046

* The JWST is replaced by the Stephen Hawking Space Telescope.

### 2047

* Solsettle lands on Mars, and gives Mount Olympus to Ukraine.
* The UN Security Council passes a resolution that declares CRISPR access a fundamental human right.

### 2048

* Ukraine is absorbed by Russia, and Ukrainian Olympus becomes **Novorussian Olympus**.

## 2050s

### 2050

* The USA falls apart, and becomes 52 seperate states. (The current 50 states, +Washington DC and Puerto Rico.) Space progress is set back a couple years.

### 2051

* The Universal Gagarin Calendar is accepted by ICEA as the standard.

### 2054

* Private space colonies on Phobos and Deimos are launched by companies. This sparks a debate about the laws of space colonization, and it is decided to outlaw private commercial colonies.

### 2056

* Valles Marineris is settled by Arizona.

### 2058

* Scientists at a particle collider discover a particle that can compact and redistribute particles easily- the hunt is on to use it for terraforming purposes.

## 2060s

### 2061

* A manned expedition is made to Europa, to drill beneath the ice.
	+ They find nothing, again. Conspiracy theorists keep being conspiracy theorists.

### 2063

* Despite the small size of the crater, a seperatist group manages to form another country from Kazakh Ina. They become **East Ina, the first country on a planet other than Earth.**

### 2064

* Solsettle announces **Project Quikform**. With the help of the 2058 particle, their plans are to terraform the Moon and Mars in under 25 years.

### 2066

* By this time, medical tech has become advanced enough to do modification on the go- tl;dr Want to go to Mars? Boom, now you can adapt to the air and gravity on the fly. No more domes and gravity needed!
