Scenarios about 'orbital stations'
Orbital stations are human-made structures designed to remain in orbit around celestial bodies, primarily Earth, for extended periods while supporting human habitation and activities. These engineering marvels represent humanity's first permanent foothold in space, enabling scientific research, satellite maintenance, astronomical observation, and serving as potential waypoints for deeper space exploration. In alternate history scenarios, orbital stations often feature as critical military assets, centers of space colonization efforts, or platforms for divergent technological development paths.
What If The Skylab Space Station Never Fell?
Exploring the alternate timeline where America's first space station Skylab was saved from orbital decay, potentially transforming space exploration and establishing a continuous American presence in orbit decades before the ISS.
