...I think that Kerkythea is capable of rendering fog, but I have not figured out how as of yet.
I've done a little bit more work on the Space Terminal complex, introducing the "Taggart Trans-Space" Building, which is directly connected to the landing pad. Taggart Tans-Space operates spaceships for the Federation of United States.
Taggart Trans-Space is also tip of the hat to "Taggart Transcontinental" from the novel Atlas Shrugged. The Federation of United States is a tip of the hat to the "Federation" from Star Trek. Again, we see a degree of irony as Star Trek - which is fundamentally altruistic - is melded with Ayn Rand's philosophies, which decidedly are not.
The question of how seemingly drastically opposite ideologies might coexist, at least in this story, is traced back to the fundamental idea that at critical points in history... whenever human differences led to significant historical wars or conflicts, in the alternate timeline there was peace, even if it was an uneasy or awkward peace. Hypothetically, Nazi Germany might never have launched a campaign against Jews if the Jewish people had not previously lost their original homeland as a result of such things as crusades and Roman occupation. (What if we could communicate with the mind of Julius Caesar and influence him to make a few key decisions differently?) If the State of Israel had already been solidly established in 1939, there would have been a much weaker case for antisemitism. Thinking even further back, it could be plausible that if Egypt had adopted legislative processes opposing slavery, the Jewish State might have been part of a united Egyptian Empire which would have maintained peace in the middle east for thousands of years.
If the modern age would have been born a hundred years earlier, and the world had internet access when Hitler was coming to power, the idea of Racially charged nationalism might have still taken root... but instead of race being viewed in terms of local nationalities, race might have been more broadly (and correctly) interpreted as the entire human race. (If you've watched Star Trek, think of the Terran Empire, which was racist not against humans, but had Nazi-like conquest-leaning attitudes toward non-human civilizations.)
