− | *2131 - Pharmaceutical company [[wikipedia:Bayer|Bayer AG]] unveil the first [[nano-machines]], capable of not only delivering medicines directly to problem areas and patching up destroyed tissue, but facilitate a far less invasive [[man-machine interface]] than existed in the past. This causes an explosion of better performing Mechanized Workers and leads to more practical use of the machiens as [[Mechanized Soldiers]] and [[Mechanized LEO]]s become a thing. | + | *2131 - Pharmaceutical company [[wikipedia:Bayer|Bayer AG]] unveil the first [[nano-machines]], capable of not only delivering medicines directly to problem areas and patching up destroyed tissue, but facilitate a far less invasive [[man-machine interface]] than existed in the past.

| *2212 - A radio signal from Alpha Centauri arrives back at earth, verifying that the test was successful. Three months later, MIT opens an Alpha Centauri campus, basically a space habitat module, mostly a PR campaign. A trip from earth to the "campus" takes a total of 8 days - four of which is through the interstellar medium between the two stars. | | *2212 - A radio signal from Alpha Centauri arrives back at earth, verifying that the test was successful.
