Spatium

This timeline takes place in the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th centuries and beyond. It follows the steps of humanity to becoming an interplanetary species but also has a political focus as well. It isn't unrealistic in the way of ftl travel, time travel, complete terraforming within a couple hundred years, clearly asb content, etc

However, a lot of this is clearly speculative and doesn't reflect my personal opinions too much. Feel free to add but ask if it is anything major please :D
