This section or article is being updated. Certain details are subject to change. You can help this by contributing.


What follows is a complete timeline of significant events in the known history of space travel in the Milky Way.

Or it would be. Right now it's still a shitty placeholder.

Note that the history of the Space Station 13 universe is not entirely our own, but rather one that has diverged from ours during the early 20th century. So while it takes place in the future, it is not our future, but a future as imagined by this community.

Behind the scenes

What would I even put here? Really.

Editor's Note (TEMPORARY)

If you are taking lore from other communities, please mark it for now until we make it official.

Example:

  • 2467: Clowns invade the Mime Republic of "..." in the Faire Taire system. (Goonstation)

Okay that's not actually Goon lore, but it's an example of how I want it written.

Real world events of scientific significance should also be included.


20th Century

1900s

  • 1903: Inspired by the writings of Jules Verne, first serious work published that showed physical space exploration was theoretically possible.
  • 1905: Albert Einstein publishes his Special Theory of Relativity.

1910s

  • 1912: Victor Hess discovers the existence of cosmic radiation.
  • 1918: Chase Monroe is born in Montana.

1920s

  • 1920: The Nazi Party is formed.
  • 1926: Robert H. Goddard launches humanity's first liquid-fueled rocket.
  • 1927: Verein für Raumschiffahrt (Society for Space Travel) is formed; it includes many top European rocket scientists.
  • 1929: Hermann Oberth, with students including Wernher von Braun, launches his first liquid-fueled rocket. Among them is Dietrich Troy, who has been studying Special Relativity among other quantum mechanical theories.

1930s

  • 1930: Paul Dirac Dirac's textbook Principles of Quantum Mechanics is published.
  • 1931: First German military liquid-fueled rocket engines developed.
  • 1932: Adolf Hitler is appointed as Chancellor of Germany.
  • 1933: Work begins on the Aggregate series of rockets which leads to the V-2 rocket.
  • 1934: Adolf Hitler becomes Führer of Germany.
  • 1935: Dietrich Troy joins the Nazi Party.
  • 1937: Chase Monroe joins the United States Army.

1940s

  • 1941: The United States enters World War 2.
  • 1942: The Battle of Stalingrad takes place.
  • 1944: Dietrich Troy becomes a Wonder Weapons researcher working on the V-2 rocket under the supervision of Ludwig Brandt. However, Brandt becomes interested in research notes by Troy regarding the possibility of time travel, and has Troy reassigned.
    • September: The V-2 Rocket is the first man-made object to cross what would later be defined as the Kármán line, becoming the first spaceflight in human history.
    • June: Chase Monroe participates in the Battle of Normandy. The allied invasion of Europe begins.
  • 1945: Under Ludwig Brandt's supervision, using Dietrich Troy's designs and calculations, the first Bluespace Gateway in history is built within a secret underground facility beneath the city of Lübeck. It is referred to as the Saphirdimensionale Zeitbrücke (SDZ).
    • The Battle of Berlin takes place. Adolf Hitler, realizing the war is lost, escapes in secret with the German 21st Army to Lübeck. An unknown individual, possibly one of Hitler's body doubles, is executed and their body burned to fool the Soviets and even Hitler's personal guard into believing that Hitler committed suicide. Hitler instead goes into hiding at the underground base in Lübeck as the SDZ is rushed to completion.
    • July: The Manhattan Project produces the first nuclear fission explosion during the Trinity test in New Mexico.
    • August: The nuclear bombs Fat Man and Little Boy are dropped on Japan, formally ending World War 2.
  • 1946: Chase Monroe is promoted to Sergeant and reassigned to Operation Paperclip to locate and retrieve Nazi technology before the Soviet Union can do the same.
  • November: Monroe and his unit are sent to investigate rumors of a hidden Nazi base in Lübeck. A secret passage is discovered beneath Holstein Tor, leading to an underground complex still inhabited by active Nazi troops. A firefight breaks out between American and Nazi-remnant forces. As American forces call for backup, Chase Monroe breaks from his group to pursue several high ranking Nazi officers including Dietrich Troy, Ludwig Brandt, and even Adolf Hitler himself. The officers evacuate through the SDZ, but Monroe is able to follow them just moments before the portal is deliberately sabotaged by the Nazi-remnants using dynamite. The Incident at Lübeck is covered up by the Office of Strategic Services, and any documents that were not destroyed by the Nazi-remnants are brought back to the United States. However, American scientist are unable to put together the missing pieces, and eventually give up on the project, assuming it to be another impossible Wonder Weapon that never would have worked in practice.
  • December: Chase Monroe is declared Missing In Action.

1950s

  • 1957: Hugh Everett formulates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which states that every possible quantum outcome is realized in divergent, non-communicating parallel universes in quantum superposition.
    • October: Humanity's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, is launched into orbit.

1960s

  • 1964: John Stewart Bell puts forth Bell's theorem, which inaugurated the study of quantum entanglement; the phenomenon in which separate particles share the same quantum state despite being at a distance from each other.
  • 1966: Humanity's first soft landing on another world (the Moon).

1970s

  • 1971: Humanity's first soft landing on another planet (Mars).
  • 1977: Voyager 1 and 2 are launched from Earth.

1980s

  • 1981: Humanity's first reusable manned spacecraft, STS-1, is launched.
  • 1986: Humanity's first consistently inhabited long-term research space station, Mir, begins operation.

1990s

  • 1998: The International Space Station begins operation.
