First things first, this story has no relation or any connection to "Rewriting History" in any way and is totally new. This story is purely fictional, and will not always be 100% technically accurate, but I will try my best to give a reason for everything. Hey everyone, glad to be back here to...

Hello everyone, and welcome to a brand new adventure. While we wait for my next large scale project, Horizon, I began to wonder about a new project, and a new story - one that takes us not to space (Right away, at least), but the bottom of the ocean. Scorpion’s Tale is a story of Cold War...

At its founding, the European Space Research Organization was modeled on CERN, a supposedly apolitical international scientific cooperation project. CERN, however, had two more founding members than ESRO--Greece and Yugoslavia. The latter two, primarily for budgetary reasons, were not invited...

Hey there fellas! For a while I've been wanting to do a somewhat serious/realistic alternate history post focusing on the Space Shuttle. Specifically, this Alt History is based around a odd but interesting concept: Early Lunar Access. Early Lunar Access (ELA) was an early 90s concept focusing...

In September 2016, Elon Musk unveiled his concept for an "Interplanetary Transport System", a fully reusable system for ferying people and equipment between Earth and Mars. This would go on to evolve into the "BFR" and later Starship/Super Heavy. At that time, Falcon 9 had performed its first...

In 1945 as the war in Europe came to a close the allies scrambled to acquire German technology and scientists. In particular the V2 Rocket was highly sought after with the various allied nations almost racing against each other to recover as many rockets and technical staff as possible before...

What if the Space Race never ended? What if the Space Race continued? What if NASA didn't land a man on the Moon first? What if Soviet Russia did? What if Sergei Korolev never died, causing Russia to land on the Moon, which in turn causes the United States to try and out compete Russia, in turn...

Specifically, at ~5% of the federal budget, or a growth past that. I would love it if you could suggest something that hasn't already been explored a lot. I'd also appreciate it if you could provide a very specific PoD.

[ KINETIC: The Battle Above ] Chapter 0 - Foreword Hello everybody! I’d love to share with you this world I’ve put a lot of care and love into. I’ve thought of releasing something of this caliber for a while now so here is my first ever timeline to the forums! I’m very excited to hear what you...

(quick word of warning, i have literally never posted to this forum before so if i've done anything wrong, please let me know, thanks!) (also, big thanks to RaptorNM for getting me into this, i'll be running this thread alongside his) The year is 1965. After a successful streak of dominance...

Blue Moon (WIP name) A timeline where Britain are the first on the moon. February 1962: Following John Glenn’s successful orbit of the earth, the British government is faced with a question. Do they pursue a space program, requiring tremendous amounts of money, effort, and support, or do...

Scott Harms woke up in a cold sweat. He wasn’t scared, or nervous. At least he didn’t think he was, it’s not like he’d admit it. Maybe it was because during the previous night, he dreamt about some sort of a speech. He couldn’t really see anything in the dream, not anything memorable, but he...

Happy Monday Everyone! Today I want to bring you the first chapter in my alternate history story, "One Giant Leap: The Voyage Beyond". A story inspired by my thoughts of a Space Shuttle program that returned us to the moon and took us to Mars. I have often seen alternate history stories that...

First to set up the players. French Empire- After a more successful OTL campaign Napoleon I rules victoriously over Europe in 1814. The empire transitions into a constitutional monarchy around the mid-19th century and maintains a decent hold over western and central Europe up to the the 1950's...

When Project Apollo was first considered by NASA in 1960, it was going to be the follow-up to Project Mercury. The program was a lot less grandiose than what we eventually got. Apollo would start with missions similar to those flown during Gemini such as long-duration spaceflight, spacewalks...

If Richard Nixon defeated JFK in the election of 1960, what effect would his administration have on the Space Race? Would there still be an Apollo Program, or perhaps an alternate Moon program? Would he even give NASA the funds for a Moonshot at all? The Soviets certainly weren't gonna stop...

Welcome, everyone, to Glorious Dawn! This is an Alternate Spaceflight Timeline which should hopefully be factoring in the political landscape of the respective times, To keep everything as accurate as possible. If you see any historical inaccuracies don't be afraid to let me know, I'll try to...

Alright! Hello! The following is the hyper-evolved headcanon for a replica shuttle program I started work on 4-5-ish years ago in KSP that I realized about 3 months ago I could turn into an objectively banger alternate history with a strangely low amount of effort. That being said, I have 3...

I noticed that there wasn't a thread for maps based off of just existing objects. The Alternate Planets, Suns, Stars, and Solar Systems Thread is mostly OC content and the Map Threads are congested and hard to navigate. This thread will act as the main place to post alongside the latter and will...
