I absolutely agree with this. I am a proponent of the "many worlds" interpretation of time and space. Every decision point is a separate branch.
I've espoused this before. In some iterations, everything goes perfectly and there is no war. In others, the Project wakes up in 5 years and the mission goes as planned. Conversely, there are universes where all life on Earth was wiped out.
The published game setting is just one of the more interesting in which to role play.
