This is an old revision of the document!
Explorers: ad astra
What is it ?
A huge space TL (if not a space wank at times, admittedly: an utopia rather than a dystopia. Archibald hates dystopias)
It fill 1400 pages (!) of a WORD file and truth be told,
I'm still adding things (!). It is a never-ending project,
so there might be retcon or reboots along the way.
