T2K in space

That's some really interesting stuff, RN7. I wasn't aware of a lot of it. As a v1.0 timeliner, I think that, had the Cold War continued apace for another 5-6 years (from '89 to 95) before limited nuclear war began, you would have seen a lot of IRL-cancelled defense programs reach their planned/hoped-for conclusion. I imagine that some of those programs that would have come to fruition would have involved the Space Race and an increased militarization of same.

If you'd care to share any more details about where things were going through the '90s, I'd really like to read about them.
