The NASA receives much more money for its projects. So they can realise a reliable fleet of reusable space crafts, a large space station in the 1970s, a moon base in the 1980s and a manned mission to Mars in the 1990s. And there are plans for terraforming Mars. This plan includes the terraforming of the moon, which begins in 2001. |

Something tells me... Remember the Titans Instead of academica, a young C.S. Lewis wins in a parliamentary by-election, and ends up leading the Liberal Party to prominence once again. His policies reflect those of Gladstone than Lloyd-George, but he enacts other socially liberal reforms. Although he avoided war with Nazi Germany, he set into motion what would be known as the Cold War, a series of stand-offs and proxy conflicts that would last all the way to the fall of the Third Reich in 1983.

In 1965 the German SciFi-pulp-series Perry Rhodan is translated into English and published in the US. The series (and its spin-off Atlan) became a huge success. Ten years later Marvel adopts the series as a successfull comic book series. In the early 1970s elements of the first story arc are turned into a successfull series of movies. A TV series followed in the early 2000s. Today more than 2400 issues of Perry Rhodan have been publish in the US. They are still 200 issues behind the German original. The TV show is in its tenth season. |

In honor of the Olympics... While at USC, a student party is busted by the local police. A young athlete resists arrest and is charged with disorderly conduct. His spot on the Olympic team is revoked and the swimming world is thrown as Michael Phelps, the world record holder in the 400 m medley, watches from the sidelines. |

In a small town in the US a young woman escapes her rapists and runs into the arms of the local sherrif, who is the father of one of the rapists. He promptly arrest her for being nude and the local judge, who is also the father of one of the rapists, sentence her to life in prison for rape. Her defense attorney is warned not to go to the public if he wants to live. Luckily for her he does not listen and goes to the public. One day later he is dead. This sparks two things: - Demonstrations everywhere in the US against this miscarriage of justice. Many of the female demonstrators go either in the nude or topless. - An complete investigation of the US legal system In the end the conviction is overturned, sherrif, judge and district attorney, who is the father of the father of the third rapist, are removed from office and arrested, and the US legal system is reformed. And female public nudity and toplessness becomes an inherent part of fashion in the US. |
