The Washington Chronicle

***The Washington Post***, also known as **the *Post*** and, informally, ***WaPo***, is an American daily newspaper. The Post is a global news outlet: It is published in Washington, D.C., operates international breaking news hubs in London, England, and Seoul, South Korea, and is the most widely circulated newspaper in the Washington metropolitan area.

The *Post* was founded in 1877. In its early years, it went through several owners and struggled both financially and editorially. Financier Eugene Meyer purchased it out of bankruptcy in 1933 and revived its health and reputation; this work was continued by his successors Katharine and Phil Graham (Meyer's daughter and son-in-law), who bought out several rival publications. The *Post*'s 1971 printing of the Pentagon Papers helped spur opposition to the Vietnam War. Reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein led the investigation into the break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters that developed into the Watergate scandal, which resulted in the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon. In October 2013, the Graham family sold the newspaper to Nash Holdings, a holding company owned by Jeff Bezos, for $250 million.

As of 2020, the newspaper had won the Pulitzer Prize 65 times for its work, the second-most of any publication (after *The New York Times*). It is considered a newspaper of record in the U.S. *Post* journalists have received 18 Nieman Fellowships and 368 White House News Photographers Association awards. The paper is well known for its political reporting and is one of the few remaining American newspapers to operate foreign bureaus.
2001: A Space Odyssey

***2001: A Space Odyssey*** is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was written by Kubrick and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, and was inspired by Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and other short stories by Clarke. Clarke also published a novelisation of the film, in part written concurrently with the screenplay, after the film's release. The film stars Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, and Douglas Rain and follows a voyage by astronauts, scientists, and the sentient supercomputer HAL to Jupiter to investigate an alien monolith.

The film is noted for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight, pioneering special effects, and ambiguous imagery. Kubrick avoided conventional cinematic and narrative techniques; dialogue is used sparingly, and there are long sequences accompanied only by music. The soundtrack incorporates numerous works of classical music, including pieces by composers such as Richard Strauss, Johann Strauss II, Aram Khachaturian, and György Ligeti.

The film received diverse critical responses, ranging from those who saw it as darkly apocalyptic to those who saw it as an optimistic reappraisal of the hopes of humanity. Critics noted its exploration of themes such as human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning Kubrick the award for his direction of the visual effects. The film is now widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. In 1991, it was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. In 2022, *2001: A Space Odyssey* placed in the top ten of *Sight & Sound*'s decennial critics' poll, and topped their directors' poll. A sequel, *2010: The Year We Make Contact*, was released in 1984, based on the novel *2010: Odyssey Two*.

Thomas E. Dewey

**Thomas Edmund Dewey** (March 24, 1902 – March 16, 1971) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 47th governor of New York from 1943 to 1954. He was the Republican Party's nominee for president of the United States in 1944 and 1948, losing the latter in a major upset to Harry S. Truman. The 288 combined electoral votes Dewey received from both elections place him second behind William Jennings Bryan as the candidate with the most electoral votes who never acceded to the presidency.

In this alternate timeline, Thomas Dewey served as the 33rd president of the United States, serving from 1949 to 1957.

As a New York City prosecutor and District Attorney in the 1930s and early 1940s, Dewey was relentless in his effort to curb the power of the American Mafia and of organized crime in general. Most famously, he successfully prosecuted Mafioso kingpin Charles "Lucky" Luciano on charges of forced prostitution in 1936. Luciano was given a 30- to 50-year prison sentence. He also prosecuted and convicted Waxey Gordon, another prominent New York City gangster and bootlegger, on charges of tax evasion. Dewey almost succeeded in apprehending mobster Dutch Schultz as well, but Schultz was murdered in 1935, in a hit ordered by The Commission itself; he had disobeyed The Commission's order forbidding him from making an attempt on Dewey's life.

Dewey led the moderate faction of the Republican Party during the 1940s, and 1950s, in opposition to conservative Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft. Dewey was an advocate for the professional and business community of the Northeastern United States, which would later be called the Eastern Establishment. This group consisted of internationalists who were in favor of the United Nations and the Cold War fight against communism and the Soviet Union, and it supported most of the New Deal social-welfare reforms enacted during the administration of Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Dewey served as the 47th governor of New York from 1943 to 1954. In 1944, he was the Republican Party's nominee for the presidency, but lost the election to incumbent Franklin D. Roosevelt in the closest of Roosevelt's four presidential elections. He was again the Republican presidential nominee in 1948, but lost to President Harry S. Truman in one of the greatest upsets in presidential election history. Dewey played a large role in winning the Republican presidential nomination for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952, helping Eisenhower win the presidential election that year. He also played a large part in the choice of Richard Nixon as the Republican vice-presidential nominee in 1952 and 1956. He was the first major party nominee for president of the Greatest Generation, and the first to have been born in the 20th century.

Following his political retirement, Dewey served from 1955 to 1971 as a corporate lawyer and senior partner in his law firm Dewey Ballantine in New York City. In March 1971, while on a golfing vacation in Miami, Florida, he died from a heart attack. Following a public memorial ceremony at St. James' Episcopal Church in New York City, Dewey was buried in the town cemetery of Pawling, New York.

Space Station America

**Space Station *Freedom*** was a NASA project to construct a permanently crewed Earth-orbiting space station in the 1980s. Although approved by then-president Ronald Reagan and announced in the 1984 State of the Union address, *Freedom* was never constructed or completed as originally designed, and after several cutbacks, the project evolved into the International Space Station program.

Space Station *Freedom* was a multinational collaborative project involving four participating space agencies: NASA (United States), NASDA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).

Located in orbit around Earth, **Space Station Goddard** is used by the U.S. military as a staging area for their space forces.

The result of 25 years of multinational funding, the station has 14 individual and diverse habitats, and 16 research facilities. Layover accommodations for non-residents are not very glamorous, but provide the minimum needed for travelers to rest and refresh themselves.
Boone Station

**Boone Station** is a United States Lunar research station located near the southern pole of the Moon, as no land can be officially claimed by any nation in space only their property and their components can be claimed as owned by any organization or entity. It is operated by the United States through the United States Lunar Program (USLP), a branch of the National Science Foundation.

Catalog of Threatened Civilizations

The **conservation status** of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels, as well as for consumer use such as sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification. The two international systems are by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

**Threatened species** are any species (including animals, plants and fungi) which are vulnerable to extinction in the near future. Species that are threatened are sometimes characterised by the population dynamics measure of *critical depensation*, a mathematical measure of biomass related to population growth rate. This quantitative metric is one method of evaluating the degree of endangerment.

The **Involved** (or the **In-Play**) were the group of space-faring civilizations that were active members of the meta-civilization of the Milky Way galaxy.

The Involved were known as the **Optimae** by the non-Involved Sarl.

The membership of the Involveds was necessarily fluid. It drew new members from maturing lesser civilizations. Very old and mature civilizations exited the Involveds when they withdrew from galactic affairs, becoming Elders or Sublimed.

## Tiers

The Involved were separated into at least three tiers: Low, Mid, and High Level. An Involved's tier roughly corresponded to its place on the Recognised Civilisationary Levels scale: Low Level corresponded to high Level 5 to low Level 6 civilizations, while High Level corresponded to Level 8 civilizations.

James M. Cox

**James Middleton Cox** (March 31, 1870 – July 15, 1957) was an American businessman and politician who served as the 46th and 48th governor of Ohio, and a two-term U.S. Representative from Ohio.

In this alternate timeline, he served as the 29th president of the United States from 1921 to 1929.

As the Democratic nominee for President of the United States at the 1920 presidential election, he lost in a landslide to fellow Ohioan Warren G. Harding. His running mate was future president Franklin D. Roosevelt. He founded the chain of newspapers that continues today as Cox Enterprises, a media conglomerate.

Born and raised in Ohio, Cox began his career as a newspaper copy reader before becoming an assistant to Congressman Paul J. Sorg. As owner of the *Dayton Daily News*, Cox introduced several innovations and crusaded against the local Republican Party boss. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1909 to 1913 before being elected as Governor of Ohio. As governor, Cox introduced a series of progressive reforms and supported Woodrow Wilson's handling of World War I and its aftermath.

He was chosen as the Democratic nominee for president on the forty-fourth ballot of the 1920 Democratic National Convention. Running on a ticket with future President Franklin D. Roosevelt as his vice presidential running mate, Cox suffered the worst popular vote defeat (a 26.17% margin) since the unopposed re-election of James Monroe in 1820.

Cox retired from public office after the 1920 presidential election to focus on his media conglomerate, which expanded into several cities. By 1939, his media empire extended from Dayton to Miami. He remained active in politics, supporting Roosevelt's campaigns and attending the 1933 London Economic Conference.
Project Gaia

**Project Gaia** is an international non-governmental project to ensure the relocation of the human race to off-world sites in order to generate climate resolution on the planet Earth.

The **Gaia Rewilding Initiative for Pre-Holocene Restoration,** which led to the **22nd century Global Cooling Event** was the final man-made attempt at preempting a full-scale ecological disaster on the planet Earth. The Initiative was a resounding success as it was used to cool the temperatures of the planet back to pre-Industrial Age norms and end climate change. After a few hundred years, the planet Earth returned to a state more consistent with pre-technological levels. However, human recolonization of the Earth was impossible at this time as the species was no longer located within the Solar System. Several hundreds of thousands of years later, the crew of the Phoenix visited the Solar System only to discover much of the system abandoned. Though plant and animal life had returned to thrive on the Earth's surface uninterrupted by human activity, they discovered evidence of a descendant of an arboreal genus was beginning to develop sufficient technology. While in-system, they found the only remaining form of advanced intelligent life in the Solar System, Minni. She revealed to the crew that she was the one who orchestrated the creation of the Wormhole Network, the reprogramming of the Starmaker and the rebirth of the human race.

OPERATION: TABULA RASA, “Clean slate.” Mega-geoengineering project to freeze the planet Earth and restore balance to the planet’s ecosystem as a way of curtailing climate change. The project was to lead to a rewilding project after the ice melted to managable point. The only downside is that humanity must remain off-Earth for at least 250 years. The nations and supernations of Earth dedicated themselves to a relocation movement to orbital, planetary and subterranean colonies. The defacto world government in the Earth Confederation/Congress has become largely ineffective and incompetent while the star nations of Luna and Mars rise to wield increasingly more power on the interplanetary stage. Originally proposed in the 2070s, the project was given serious discussion in the 2080s and enacted in the 2090s with mass migrations taking place and by the dawn of the 22nd century humanity completed the project.

China

The **Republic of China** is a liberal democracy located on the Asian continent of the planet Earth.

**China** is a former national and geographic entity that existed on the planet Earth, from circa 2070 BCE until roughly 2145.

One notable nation that existed within its territory was the People's Republic of China which existed from 1949 until 2049. At the time of its transition to democracy, the PRC was the longest-reigning communist nation in the world. For much of the first half of the 21st century, China was considered the world's superpower having surpassed the United States after 2030. The PRC was also notable for boasting the second of the world's two largest populations on the planet Earth for much of the 21st century.

China's landscape was vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.

China is a cradle of civilization, with its known history beginning with an ancient civilization – one of the world's earliest – that flourished in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. For millennia, China's political system was based on hereditary monarchies known as dynasties. Since 221 BCE, when the Qin Dynasty first conquered several states to form a Chinese empire, the state has expanded, fractured and reformed numerous times. The Republic of China (ROC) replaced the last dynasty in 1912, and ruled the Chinese mainland until 1949, when it was defeated by the Communist Party of China in the Chinese Civil War. The Communist Party established the People's Republic of China in Beijing on 1 October 1949, while the ROC government relocated to Taiwan with its present capital in Taipei. Both the ROC and PRC claimed to be the legitimate government of all China.

## United Federation of China

Founded as direct result of the transition from communism to democracy in 2049. The country was reconstituted as the United Federation of China and lead by a President. The nation was a semi-presidential system that existed until its formal departure in 2145 as a result of Project Gaia. Both the former PRC and the Republic of China (Taiwan) formed the new nation that would become the UFC.

* Qiong Lei (elected in 2050, served two terms and left office in 2061). First President of the UFC and the first democratically elected leader of China.

Polestar shares began trading on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol PSNY on 24 June 2022 through a business combination agreement with Gores Guggenheim, Inc., a special-purpose acquisition company.

Polestar produces cars in several countries, including China, US, and South Korea, in facilities owned by Volvo Cars and Geely.
Project Nomad

**Project Nomad** is a crewed spaceflight program developed as a joint cooperation between international partners and private multinational corporations, starting in 2001. The major goals of the program were to complete the exploration of the Solar System and facilitate the next step in exploration to explore locations outside it. The ultimate goal being to help establish the first off-Earth colonies, with its secondary goal being engaging in general space exploration. Yet another objective of the program is to recover, investigate, and research remnant technology of the Firstlife. An advertising campaign throughout human space has romanticized the adventures of Project Nomad astronauts. This has resulted in high recruitment numbers of prospective space explorers.
1998 Asteroid Crisis

The **1998 Asteroid Crisis** is an asteroid impact event that was halted by astronauts of the United States Air Force and German Luftwaffe, respectively. The asteroid designated 1997 SH17 was discovered by astronomers with the Lunar Telescope Array. It was declared a Near-Earth Object Hazard Index number of 10 indicating a certain and devastating impact event if it ultimately occurred. The event called global attention to the problem of Near-Earth crosser asteroids and emboldened support of planetary protection protocols. The event was also a major contributing factor in the creation of the United States Space Command as a separate independent branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and the formation of the International Space Treaty Organization (ISTO).
