Rockets existed in the 20th century, Ion drives and Fusion drives came in to their own in the 21st. A few long-range space probes were sent out, the solar system was fully explored, Mars and Titan were colonised for a laugh. Everything you would expect to happen, did. | Rockets existed in the 20th century, Ion drives and Fusion drives came in to their own in the 21st.

− | Thing kicked off around 2268 with the invention of gravity wave generators in India. Before the end of the 23rd century there existed working anti-gravity devices. Inertia was finally proven to be the combined effect of the gravity waves from the surrounding universe. The anti-gravity drive could reduce the effect of inertia allowing ships to travel at up to half the speed of light. The first deep space probes were built in 2285 and the first manned ships left earth in 2289. | + | Thing kicked off around 2268 with the invention of gravity wave generators in India.

The first deep space probes were built in 2285 and the first manned ships left earth in 2289. [[The Blue Giant:Starship Attributes#Inertialess Drive|inertialess drive]], which allowed objects to come within a hairsbreadth of the speed of light, was developed within 32 years and the first colony ships left earth soon after. The light barrier was still thought to be impossible to break until a bunch of Dutch cosmologists discovered subspace. |
''[[Blue Giant:Starship Attributes#Subspace|Subspace]] is another universe formed at the same time as normal space (and [[Blue Giant:Starship Attributes#hyperspace|hyperspace]] , but more on that later). Subspace is very similar to normal space except that it contains far less matter and energy and as a result the speed of light is considerably faster.'' | ''[[Blue Giant:Starship Attributes#Subspace|Subspace]] is another universe formed at the same time as normal space (and [[Blue Giant:Starship Attributes#hyperspace|hyperspace]] , but more on that later).
