In 1957, Sputnik 1 was the first satellite ever launched into the Earth's orbit in space by the Soviet Union in Russia two years after the beginning of the Space Race.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy made a speech at Rice University about going to the Moon as a new goal to achieve. A few years after the speech, NASA built lunar landers to show the Soviets how successful they are.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon along with his partner, Buzz Aldrin. During their mission on the Moon, they encountered extraterrestrial species while placing the mirror on the Moon's surface. They later left the Moon and back to Earth while leaving the mirror behind and never told anyone what happened.

In 1972, Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission that lasted from December 7th to December 19th. Between 1969 and 1972, The United States won the Space Race but the Soviets had failed their Moon mission due to their rockets malfunctioning. Both NASA and the Soviet space program stopped making lunar landers three years before the end of the Space Race.

Between the 1980s and 1990s, the crew of Local 58, a broadcast station that was founded in 1928, find mysterious messages, signals and hijackings only to discover that they came from the Moon. When they witness a person looking at the Moon and then dying, they sent an emergency alert all over the globe to warn people to stay indoors and never look at the Moon.

In 2024, SARO launched the space station, the Lunar Gateway into the Moon's orbit to study its surface and abilities based on what is going on. While studying, the crew in the Lunar Gateway discover that the Moon's surface is different than in the 1960s.

By 2030, SARO's next lunar space station, Columbia 9, was launched to join the studying program with the Lunar Gateway and the space program continues the experiments on the Moon.
