And even more populous and densely populated than our Bangladesh, without the effort in familly planning, development, education of IRL, East Pakistan would continue on the trend of west Pakistan and have 100 million more people Such a colony kept in check only with nuclear weapons would be...

I was thinking how it had become a "trend" to come up with more and more original ways to have shuttle failures in 80s/90s space AH and this timeline certainly takes the cake! And without any fatality! Wonderful timeline, definitely on the optimistic side (the least believable part is Hermes...

I could see ESA being "torn" in the 90s between staying in LEO with their ongoing hardware and participating in the phase 2 american lunar program. With the more homegrown, independent capabilities and the worse precedents with cooperation with NASA compared to IRL I think the former would take...

A POD just before 1775 to well, avoid the age of revolution is allowed right? Not just failed revolutions but avoided ones too?

The problem is that by the time of the "ultra" coup (which would almost necessarily either be led or have Arriaga as one of its prominent plotters) in the last months of the Estado Novo, Jorge Jardim had allienated Arriaga over the handling of the Wiriyamu Massacre in summer 73, Jardim had gone...

Nah, Religious marriage is the norm there, There are no domestic civil unions (or even civil marriage) and common law statute/marriage are a minority (less than 100,000 legaly binding statutes, less than 5% of couples). It's not the same societal circumstances to what I was postulating (which is...

Even the idea that Gay marriage is better/implies a higher form of acceptance than civil unions is very rooted in IRL, it's extremely easy to imagine an ATL where Marriage in the west are purely religious and symbolical with most homosexual couple rejecting it in favour of the more common and...

This is how germany should be internally organised (not the external borders ofc), it just is.

CosmicAsh said it's currently about 2.3-2.4 C above pre-industrial. IIRC, there's a good amount of Temperature increase lag so their world is probably not as warm as ours will be when we reach the same CO2 concentration, since they reached it "quicker"

~720 PPM and rapidly rising, projected to reach 1000 PPM in the mid 2040s From the Discord:

Put simply, more industrialised countries during the 20th century. Also more redundancies and ineficiencies in industries due to less globalisation/international trade and sovereignty/social reasons. TFS's world reached late 2010s CO2 concentration in the late 1950s

In hindsight probably a slightly better arrangements of the external tanks would have been to have them partially supported in tandem (in a "V" or "U") by the booster through a larger interstage during the boost phase (with the orbiter in the middle of the V/U, still attached through the...

I'm talking about middle age North->South intra-iberian migrations, these happened and left a significant north-south genetic pattern in Iberia, they're well documented and happened through various means through the centuries (organically on depopulated land & helped by partible inheritance...
