Still mostly been doing writing this month, but here's some I can actually share. 

So, I've been plotting out history in RttS and things finally got complicated enough that I was forced to put everything on an actual calendar timeline. I had avoided doing this beforehand because I typically don't give things I'm writing about Official Numbers unless absolutely necessary (ironically they can make things more complicated). I also don't like talking about the year in RttS because people tend to view science fiction as an attempt a prophesying the future, but RttS is actually an alternate history— so human technological progress and expansion is not congruous with reality at all.

Ask me questions about specific events and I'll try to reply with a guesstimate of the year that they took place in. This timeline is currently mostly human-centric, since it is, after all, using a human calendar system.

When did first contact with Centaurs approximate occur?

Wait one more question .3. Is 2300 the year Talita was born, or when she was dropped off at the orphanage?

When was the first human in space and the first on Luna, in this timeline?

Did human at least manage to colonize another solar system before Constance with the bug ferrets?

Jay Eaton

No they did not, because without the kind of FTL travel enabled by wormholes, interstellar travel takes hundreds to thousands of years.

Jay Eaton

Things are mostly the same in human history up until the year 2000, so the first human in space and the first on Luna are still Yuri Gagarin in 1961 and Neil Armstrong in 1969 respectively.

Jay Eaton

Both happened in the same year. She was born approximately July 1st 2300, pupated that winter, and arrived at the foster care facility in late December.

Wait so no species has manage to colonize other solar systems besides their own?

It sounds like Bug Ferrets are the drivers of interstellar travel - so I guess until you meet them, you don't get an opportunity to.
