Alternate history. (an old story idea/scenario of mine)
U.S.A. vs U.S.S.R.
the space race never ended.
after apollo, nasa kept going with their full program; the ussr kept going with their program too. moonbases, space stations, shuttle, mars, etc.
the ussr & east block never collapsed
space colonisation
booming space economy
2001 looks a lot more like the movie
by the mid 21st century, both superpowers, (& china, europe, & other powers) are fully in space. all over the solar system. commercial, scientific,military.
battlefleets, etc.
cold war or hot war? (post-nuclear?) (what treaties agreements etc....? UN?)
space battles, with real physics! sketch out tech & tactics-/-strategy; ships & fleets on fast flypast intercept orbits, high-velocity, etc., ways of hiding, sneaking up, etc. big & small ships, weapons, beam ray projectile, etc. electronics counter warefare, hacking -s, etc. ?
cold war budgets what if they'd spent more on spce programs? moon, mars etc....?
16 psyche & other metallic (m-class?)? asteroids, & other rich/good target s etc.... ? ?
- canyon mars, - venus plateau?
the outpost...? (see extra-solar planet/exploration story ideas) (extra-solar objects, etc....?)
- tactics & strategy for real-physics space battles, fleets, etc....?
