Campaign Timeline
- A massive UFO the size of a 20th century naval vessel inexplicably materializes in the skies above Earth, near the Omaha Air Force Base in the United States. Fighters are scrambled to intercept it and force it down, but it manages to reach escape velocity and leave Earth’s atmosphere before this can happen.[1]
- The first Terran space race officially ends in victory for the Americans when NASA successfully sends a manned mission to Luna and back. Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong is the first human to set foot on another heavenly body, fulfilling an age-old dream of humanity. Seven more manned lunar missions will follow over the next four years before NASA’s lunar program is ended by budget cuts. This will curtail human interplanetary exploration within the Sol system for the time being.[1]
