  1. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I haven't been commenting, but I'd like to leave a drop by compliment and say this has been a very enjoyable read, and congratulations to @nixonshead for all those incredible images.

  2. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    A lot of its early use is likely to be recreational, as its too much area for them to be scrooge with it so it opens up a lot of area expensive things. For example perhaps a low gravity athletics zone or something where you can play sports or team games, perhaps Blitzball for the Final Fantasy...

  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I was laughing a little at this update, given you called the site Pago throughout the update despite including a map in the chapter showing it's actually called Pego.

  4. To Grasp the Heavens

    I'm so excited when I get an alert to this story, and can't wait for the announcing of it to Earth itself. Hopefully you go into when the various geopolitical powers announce it, and really they should all plan to do it the same day otherwise panic would quickly spread in another country. I also...

  5. To Grasp the Heavens

    Is that a global space agency incoming? Potential Armageddonesque mission (except not stupid) with the second ship that's undergoing construction? Very interesting, I can't fine which object it could be from OTL unless it's one invented for the story. Regardless there's going to be a lot more...

  6. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Slight mistake here, as Pratt and Wittney won the contract for the main engine and not Rocketdyne. Anyway; lovely update. I also loved the part with ION, as it had a nice narrative towards it and showed the ups and downs of the developmental process. And finally the European's are jumping on...

  7. To Grasp the Heavens

    You do enjoy your cliffhangers; I'm loving it! Best guess from me is orbital bombardment given it quite literally can't be stopped, and it ties in with previous stuff like the Black Anvil with no nuclear missile; but that seems like a concept that'd require too much capital that Britain can...

  8. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    I was thinking about messaging one of you guys too about when the estimated due date would be. Really looking forward to it, I guess it's time for a reread.

  9. To Grasp the Heavens

    A greater shift to nuclear power likely does the US much more good than the expenditure from the Apollo program, so once again they're further ahead. It should also mean in general that the energy situation as the decades pass should be greater than it is today, with consequent benefits...

  10. To Grasp the Heavens

    Looking forward to this, particularly with regards to that prologue.

    I was wondering if there was an ETA on the next part of Right Side Up: History of the Space Transportation System?

  12. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Given the sheer population differences between even a neutered China and Japan, an option (although I don't know how actually viable it is) would be for them to join which would prevent them from being dismembered further, and allows them to eliminate the communist threat with possible Axis...

  13. The Red Crowns: The World of Imperial Socialism

    Interesting to see this return once more. I'd make mention though that the French pacific islands OTL in the 1900's became incredibly valuable due to their resources that were easily exploited. Depending on how advancements have been made or explorations of the islands, that may have been...

  14. Across the high frontier: a Big Gemini space TL

    I think you mean trust ... or that saying has a wildly different meaning. That's fascinating. I imagine that's like how that Russian actor on Star Trek died, his cars handbrake wasn't engaged and was on a slope so it rolled back and crushed him against a wall?

  15. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    With regards to your post Shevek, the authors have stated that currently the lifter is only flying 18 missions a year while as you mentioned NASA/STC designed it so it could accommodate up to 30. This means that there is already plenty of slack within the system particularly as: the satellites...

  16. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Here we go then. I wonder where the failure will land though, on Rocketdyne or the STC?

  17. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    As others have mentioned, it's going to be very interesting on your take on the new satellite sizes and just what they're going to be capable of. I wonder if you're also going to do something similar to @sts-200 story The Selene Project, where they created incredibly large broadcast satellites...

  18. The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    @Jello_Biafra - I'm not sure if you've looked into it or included it in the story already (long time since I've read most of it), but have you looked at Calendar Reform? It fits wonderfully with the rationalizations that the US society is currently undergoing, and notably IOTL both the country...

  19. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    I also question whether Hitler would commit suicide in this timeline. IOTL it made sense given it was the Bolshevik's that reached Berlin, but if it's the British and French the motives that went into his decision are liable to change drastically. That's not counting that the chance of him...

  20. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    I'm currently in the middle of reading, but I noticed something wrong with the red part.
