Science Fiction Becomes Reality
April 17, 1933
The Edison International Electric Company (EIEC) and Carnegie Steel have launched a curious object contained within a small rocket into the expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere from a minute launching pad located in Carnegia, which has become a thriving community of scientists and thinktanks. The rocket contained a radio-controlled drone that was able to transmit data back to the ground team in Carnegia. Scientists have questioned the possibility of a network of machines in the outer expanse, in orbit around Earth, that could be used for the transmission of communication, navigation, and even weather forecasting. This launch was a preliminary step in the advancement of that possibility.
It succeeded.
Now comes years of additional R&D into civilian and military use for these satellites, and to fund the operation of sending them into the outer expanse. Already some theorists have jumped at future ideas of bases and an expanse dockyard on the moon, expanse elevators from the planet to the expanse, voyages to Mars, expanse telescopes, a human colony on Mars, mining asteroid belts with automatons, and even radical ideas of transforming Mars into a habitable landscape. Suddenly, the universe seems full of possibilities.
Some day scientists may discover the answer to Verne's paradox, a term recently used by fiction authors that stems from Jules Verne's 1865 novel Around the Moon, in which it was asked why the Moon's inhabitants, if they exist, have not already come to Earth. For now, most of these ideas remain in ten-pence novels.
Facilitating this age of science fiction is Rhodes City, Carnegia, which in recent years has been nicknamed the Silicon Oasis for its emerging silicon-based products manufactured by a number of small corporations. The silicon material is used in computer chips and other advanced electronics used in duopods, and now potentially for satellites and other machinery for earth and expanse projects.
