The History of the Future

From Early Settlements in the Sol System to an Interstellar Civilization

Galactic Developments is a history book of the future, a realistic timeline.

The interplanetary civilization develops. With inventions and discoveries, politics and intrigues. Interplanetary powers come and go...

Then the stars. Initially, FTL space ships are slower than light speed Bold missions explore the unknown fringes.

Later, humanity is drawn into the dramatic development of its interstellar neighborhood and must learn the hard way, that stability is not a given.

The Great Expansion

There are still lots of small an short entries. The are great ideas and great milestones. They deserve more detail and love.
