sorry for taking a while to finish the next chapter, human spaceflight is always tough to write, should hopefully be ready soon!

oh my god!!!!! what an incredible chapter, was on the edge of its seat the entire time! absolutely brilliant, super excited to see what else comes next!

visiting an asteroid on a flyby like this would be a very difficult task, we’ll see if their technology would be able to do such a feat as 1971 draws closer :) true, it did say that, but do note the size of the asteroid mentioned. either way, it plans to keep its cards close to its chest for...

oh thats weird it wasnt like that when i posted it, should be fixed now ? hopefully ?

Chapter 14 - On a Marché Sur La Lune August 5, 1968 - 3:40 pm UTC Korolev “Archangel, you are approved for Lunar Orbit Insertion in 30 minutes, loss of signal in moments. Good luck, brave eagles.” For the past few days, Archangel 3 has been floating peacefully through space on its way to the...

Chapter 13 - Objectif Lune June 19, 1968 For the first time, the N1 rocket carries its first crew to space. It had already conducted 3 successful test launches (though more than 3 attempts were made), and leadership was confident with moving ahead. Mirroring the American Apollo 7 mission...

Chapter has to be delayed, the main computer I write on has had its screen mysteriously gain an ominous empty patch. Working on getting the next chapter posted ASAP, as it's done writing right now. just waiting to finish the illustrations.

Ooooh! Always love a new space timeline, excited to see where this'll go!

Doing some late range planning right now, next chapter is coming along well, shouldn't be much longer now!

Oh totally, and there’ll be a lot more impacts later too :3 Expanded by some metrics, this mission? Definitely, but the launch cadence has been slightly slower. IOTL Explorer 35 launched in September 1967, as opposed to July 1967 as ITTL. Explorer 35/Windjammer was really a logical followup to...

Oooooh! Love the beginning, can't wait to see where this goes! :D

Chapter 12 - Convergence October 28, 1967 Yet again, the world was stunned hearing the news. The Soviets are going to Jupiter? How did they beat us? When are we going? What’s next? The Asteroids. The USSR had no asteroid missions planned yet, leaving this as perfect ground for exploration. And...

Was taking a bit too long to finish off the next chapter, and since over 5000 words would be miserable to read through, I'm splitting the chapter! Expect it in like a few hours?

Good(?) news everyone! Chapter 12 should be done in the next few days! Unfortunately it'll probably be over 5000 words. Whoops! might need an intermission in the middle...

Aw, thanks! William Scranton was a very left-leaning republican, which in my mind would've been able to attract a lot more voters than the intense Goldwater, and pull in some of the more moderate Democrats. I don't get into the politics of this timeline much, because it quite honestly hurts my...
