	The Russians and the Chinese were not idle during this time. They knew something was up and that the Americans and European Union were building something of massive proportions. But there was an excessive amount of secrecy. The Russians had made it to Mars on Thermal Nuclear Rockets which was perfect for shuttling payloads between Earth and Margs because of its higher efficiency and reusability. And was just one more thing that they used to rub it in the face of those Westerns. So the thought in the USSR was that America was working on a newer generation of high trust gas based Thermal Nuclear Rockets. These massive engines would require a massive amount of lift and multiple payloads to build in orbit. Or so the thinking went. Although considered to be decades away still from the Tech Russian started to develop the concept in hopes of keeping up with anything America produced. China, however, had a different approach and this is where the issues of there relationship became apparent on the global stage. Before this, it appeared from the outside looking in all things were friendly between the nations. But China viewed the threat with a long-term perspective. Instead, they continued with there already existing and tested technologies for their long-term goal of a Red Martian planet under a Communist banner.

	When Orion was revealed it was a shock to Russia. At first glance, this massive beast looked superior to anything before it. Russia continued its own project and 4 years later released the first generation gas based Thermal Nuclear rocket. In many respects it actually outperformed Orion. Orion was an overly expensive status symbol that was way too massive and powerful for the job it was given. It only flew to Mars a total of 4 times. It had 6 missions in total. 4 of which involved exploring and visiting the 4 outmost planets in the solar system. The vessel was used more for science and exploration then guaranteeing dominance on Mars. It turns out that cheaper smaller rockets in mass ~~were better~~ was sending massive 'willing' settlers to Mars. In the coming decades, one country overall would lead the way in Mar's colonization and that country was China. America quickly realized it was losing the battle Orion was supposed to fight and attempted to correct things by catching up in Thermal Rockets and producing a new line of cheaper and more reusable rockets. In reverse, Russia not wanting to be outdone by a massive nuclear exploding spacecraft of capitalism built there own. In 2032 it released it's own Nuclear pulse propulsion craft despite the fact that they with China had both originally protested the existence of Orion.

	In 2025 AD the [[Jove\|Jove]] detected higher than normal levels of neutrinos. The Jove and noticed humans a few hundred years ago and had set-up sensors in the nearby solar system of Alpha Centauri. The Jove decide it was time pay closer attention to these humans. They decided to wait a while to determine if the Species would develop Fusion power and propulsion. Sure enough, America hoping to again one up the Russians built a second Orion style craft this time under a joint EU participation which was designed to carry on the exploratory mission of Orion. In the early 2030s Fusion power had finally be achieved and even before that, a Fusion powered pulse propulsion system had been designed. Instead of Fission bombs, they would use Fusion explosions to propel the craft. This higher level of efficiency was the final step needed to not only explore the further reaches of the solar system, its main mission but also to send probes and eventually people to the nearest solar systems.

	Russia and China together beat American to Mars. In order to one-up the communists, America and the EU created a joint Mars Mission task force. However, both space programs had a massive focus on low to geostationary orbit and the money made in selling satellite launches to these positions. Team Blue was nearly a decade behind achieving setting foot on Mars. However, in order to one-up Russian and Chinese America proposed an extremely expensive and almost inane project. One that never truly got canceled and sat in the militaries eye and even some from NASA. Project Orion. The project that used Nuclear Warheads to propel a massive ship close to 1% the speed of light. This would require 10+ massive launches of Saturn V level of lift with X-33 Space Shuttles acting as support. Sadly the Saturn V had long been canceled and due to budget cuts and the insanely expensive cost of building the Freedom station with the first version of the Space Shuttle both the EU and America didn't have a launcher. So instead they made a new one based on Project Sea Dragon. While the EU worked on researching the habitats by building Long-Term Habits on the moon during the 2010s. The project took 11 years to complete and in 2021 Orion exploded too life in high orbit above the earth to send nearly 30 people (only halve capacity) to spend 2 years on Mars testing survivability.

	Humans have an interesting habit of blowing things up, including themselves. In this universe, the cold war never ended. Sergei Korolev didn't die from surgery during the space race. And his expertise and knowledge allowed the Soviets to go to the moon. Behind the American's but only by 3 months. Then in order to one-up the Americans, they sent a modified version of the N1 to Venus and had the first humans to orbit another planet. The space race never completely dies down. Not till the ~~Late~~ 80s and into the early 90s. During at which the Soviet Union didn't collapse because Mikhail Gorbachev never came to power. His pro-democratic and open policies were applied with care and more slowly. This allowed the Soviet Union to evolve carefully and, although not without its problems, stay united. The United States and the allied powers attempt to crippling the economy of the USSR were not nearly as successful. It nearly did collapse until the late 90s and the rise of China as an economic superpower which helps propel Russia. And together they re-ignite a Cold War 2 and the new Space Race in the late 90s with new missions that involve colonizing Mars. The UN/USA afraid of a whole planet claimed for communism do the same.

	Before China teamed with Russia to rapidly propel the nation into the Space age America and the European Union didn't collaborate as much. The Freedom station was built with the Space Shuttle instead of the International Station. NASA's budget didn't decrease nearly as much until the late 80s and as such the Saturn V wasn't canceled until the mid-80s. The Shuttle was still constructed in part because of demand from the military and many of its same flaws still existed. The Soviet Union also kept its Buran project alive and upgraded it as a response to America replacing its Shuttle Program with the X-33.

	One fateful day August 21, 2044 AD the [[Jove\|Jove]] made official contact with Humans. You would think seeing evidence of intelligent life would help to unite a species. But all it really did was cause more problems. After the [[Jove\|Jove]] introduced Humans to the rest of there galactic neighbors humans got bombarded by all different types of species. ~~Its~~ always a treat to see new species and ~~there~~ novelty. Its fun to watch the earlier years of space flight, or how they first start to interact with the universe in a whole new big way. And for some its a chance to exploit a new race. The Jove did explain about these types of nefarious characters but its really no more then a blip on what some species would say seemed like an endless sideshow of information. Most humans ignore it.		One fateful day August 21, 2044 AD the [[Jove\|Jove]] made official contact with Humans. You would think seeing evidence of intelligent life would help to unite a species.

	Within a decade it had become frighteningly obvious there were issues. Who got what trade? Who decided what for the whole of the human race? If the Communists get that latest new tech from so and so then what is the Free World to do? After just 3 decades the species of humans threw themselves into a war most didn't even care to fight. And the 3rd great World War started... not even on Earth. Although it was finished on Earth. The Jove do not step in on these matters. They much rather let such uncivilized activities take their course. Its the best way to ensure the species learns a lesson and mature. As the AI of the Jove has wisely learned over and over.

	Russia and China together beat American to Mars. In order to one-up the communists, America and the EU created a joint Mars Mission task force. However, both space programs had a massive focus on low to geostationary orbit and the money made in selling satellite launches to these positions. Team Blue was nearly a decade behind achieving setting foot on Mars. However, in order to one-up Russian and Chinese America proposed an extremely expensive and almost inane project. One that never truly got canceled and sat in the militaries eye and even some from NASA. Project Orion. The project that used Nuclear Warheads to propel a massive ship close to 1% the speed of light. This would require 10+ massive launches of Saturn V level of lift with X-33 Space Shuttles acting as support. Sadly the Saturn V had long been canceled and due to budget cuts and the insanely expensive cost of building the Freedom station with the first version of the Space Shuttle both the EU and America didn't have a launcher. So instead they made a new one based on Project Sea Dragon. While the EU worked on researching the habitats by building Long-Term Habits on the moon during the 2010s. The project took 11 years to complete and in 2021 Orion exploded too life in high orbit above the earth to send nearly 30 people (only halve capacity) to spend 2 years on Mars testing survivability.

At first glance, this massive beast looked superior to anything before it. Russia continued its own project and 4 years later released the first generation gas based Thermal Nuclear rocket. In many respects it actually outperformed Orion. Orion was an overly expensive status symbol that was way too massive and powerful for the job it was given. It only flew to Mars a total of 4 times. It had 6 missions in total. 4 of which involved exploring and visiting the 4 outmost planets in the solar system. The vessel was used more for science and exploration then guaranteeing dominance on Mars. It turns out that cheaper smaller rockets in mass were better was sending massive 'willing' settlers to Mars. In the coming decades, one country overall would lead the way in Mar's colonization and that country was China. America quickly realized it was losing the battle Orion was supposed to fight and attempted to correct things by catching up in Thermal Rockets and producing a new line of cheaper and more reusable rockets.

	The Russians and the Chinese were not idle during this time. They knew something was up and that the Americans and European Union were building something of massive proportions. But there was an insane amount of secrecy. The Russians had made it to Mars on Thermal Nuclear Rockets which was perfect for higher efficiency and reusability for shuttling payloads between large distances. And was just one more than that they used to rub it in the face of those Westerns. So it was thought that a newer generation of high trust pulse gas based Thermal Nuclear Rockets based on the 'Light Bulb' design was being used. These massive engines would require a massive amount of lift and multiple payloads to build in orbit. Although thought to be decades away still from the Tech Russian started to develop the concept in hopes of keeping up with anything America produced. China, however, had a different approach and this is where the issues of there relationship became apparent on the global stage. Before this, it appeared from the outside looking in all things were friendly between the nations. But China viewed the threat with a long-term perspective. Instead, they continued with there already existing and tested technologies for the there long-term goal of a Red Martian planet under a Communist banner.

Russia continued its own project and 4 years later released the first generation gas based Thermal Nuclear rocket. In many respects it actually outperformed Orion. Orion was an overly expensive status symbol that was way too massive and powerful for the job it was given. It only flew to Mars a total of 4 times. It had 6 missions in total. 4 of which involved exploring and visiting the 4 outmost planets in the solar system. The vessel was used more for science and exploration then guaranteeing dominance on Mars. It turns out that cheaper smaller rockets in mass were better was sending massive 'willing' settlers to Mars. In the coming decades, one country overall would lead the way in Mar's colonization and that country was China. America quickly realized it was losing the battle Orion was supposed to fight and attempted to correct things by catching up in Thermal Rockets and producing a new line of cheaper and more reusable rockets. While reversing Russia not wanting to be outdone by a massive Nuclear exploding spacecraft built its own. In 2029 it released it's own Nuclear pulse propulsion craft despite the fact that they with China had originally protested its existence.

			In 2021 AD the [[Jove\|Jove]] detected higher than normal levels of neutrinos. The Jove and noticed humans a few hundred years ago and had set-up sensors in the nearby solar system of Alpha Centauri. The Jove decide it was time pay closer attention to these humans. They decided to wait a few years to determine if the Species would develop Fusion power and propulsion. Sure enough, America hoping to again one up the Russians built a second Orion style craft this time under a joint EU participation which was designed to carry on the exploratory mission of Orion. In the early 2030s Fusion power had finally be achieved and even before that, a Fusion powered pulse propulsion system had been designed. Instead of Fission bombs, they would use Fusion explosions to propel the craft. This higher level of efficiency was the final step needed to not only explore the further reaches of the solar system, its main mission but also to send probes and eventually people to the nearest solar systems.

			One fateful day August 21, 2044 AD the [[Jove\|Jove]] made official contact with Humans. You would think seeing evidence of intelligent life would help to unite a species. But all it really did was cause more problems. After the [[Jove\|Jove]] introduced Humans to the rest of there galactic neighbors humans got bombarded by all different types of species. Its always a treat to see new species and there novelty. Its fun to watch the earlier years of space flight, or how they first start to interact with the universe in a whole new big way. And for some its a chance to exploit a new race. The Jove did explain about these types of nefarious characters but its really no more then a blip on what some species would say seemed like an endless sideshow of information. Most humans ignore it.

			Within a decade it had become frighteningly obvious there were issues. Who got what trade? Who decided what for the whole of the human race? If the Communists get that latest new tech from so and so then what is the Free World to do? After just 3 decades the species of humans threw themselves into a war most didn't even care to fight. And the 3rd great World War started... not even on Earth. Although it was finished on Earth. The Jove do not step in on these matters. They much rather let such uncivilized activities take their course. Its the best way to ensure the species learns a lesson and mature. As the AI of the Jove has wisely learned over and over.

			Before humanity had even shed its novelty too its neighbors it had gained the reputation as being uncivilized killers of their own race. Humanities first impressions on the rest of the galaxy was not a shining moment some would dream of. They came off as a very short sited and backward species willing to destroy there own home planet to get at each other's throats. Humans had nuked their own planet almost to oblivion. Had done nearly the same damage to Mars. And had gone from nearly 12 billion to 400 million in less than 2 years.
