Hey, my last post on Eire was #26,000! And my next will be Topic #2600!
Okay, seriously, we haven't had many AH space programs. Just a few about what NASA might have done. But what if...?
What other space programs might have been started?
Belief that the ancestors of (insert ethnic/language group here) really got their start on (insert planet/star here).
Belief that the descendants of Atlantis are living on (insert planet/star here).
Hitler goes into aeronautics so he and his cronies can colonize the moon first before attempting to conquer Earth.
Somebody tells a rich eccentric the moon is made of--not green cheese, but the elixir of life.
The scion of a wealthy/noble European family had the bad luck to be fishing in Tunguska when the meteor hit. (He'd been on one of those Grand Tour expeditions popular in the 19th century. I know, this would be 1908, but still...) The family is informed that there are a lot of meteors in outer space, and we'd better be prepared for the possibility of meteors or asteroids hitting a major city. So they want to build a space station to catch meteors before they hit the Earth.
Napoleon conquers the world and 200 years later...?
