2020: NASA releases the results of the Antimatter Probe program.  Despite an instrument malfunction on Probe 2, the study confirms AM presence in Earth's Van Allen belts and around Jupiter and Saturn.  It proclaims that an antimatter collector facility in Saturn's gravity well is possible, but not commercially feasable.

2027: A NASA-sponsored prototype antimatter collector is launched into Earth orbit.  Initial measurements indicate a collection rate of up to 10 nanograms per year is possible from natural sources in Earth orbit.  This confirms previous predictions and is a positive step towards sending full scale collector to Saturn.

2029: The SPAce Commercial Exploration (SPACE) Consortium is formed to support the commercial exploration and exploitation of space.  Founding members agreed to contribute up to $200 million per year each, depending upon company revenue, for ten years to fund the necessary hardware development for bootstrapping the space economy.  In return, they receive preferential access to resulting technology and spin-offs, as well as industrial contracts for the development and operation of this hardware.  Members include the commercial space flight operators, space hotel developers, aerospace hardware contractors, and several energy groups.

2030: The SPACE Consortium evaluates several designs for a heavy lift spacecraft and selects the Salamander and space-rated Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) system for further development.  The Salamander is to be the primary spacecraft for use in Earth operations.  The TEU will become a de facto standard for orbital cargo.
