"Voskhod II" spacecraft [SFC].

The instability of Tau Lyra is first observed during this era [TOS #71].

The accelerated United States space program has five successful "Gemini"
missions this year [SFC].

[TNG #15].

Major Kira and Chief O'Brien briefly materialize in this era during their
search for Commander Sisko and Dr. Bashir, from 2371 [DSN 458].

A questionable Borg artifact may or may not have been created this
era. Dating of Thorsen's artifact in 2366 will place its age at 400
years [GN 18].

In one timeline, a science fiction television series called 'Star Trek'
premieres [ON 2].

'Mission: Impossible' premieres. Every episode of this 7-season
adventure series will be seen by Rain Robinson by 1996, or so she
will claim. Roberta Lincoln will also claim to be well acquainted with
this series [V 151, TOS #84].

1967
On Earth, while camping in the High Sierras, Henry Starling
recovers Captain Braxton's 29th Century timeship. Captain Braxton
makes an emergency beamout, but it falls into Starling's hands.
Starling will found 'Chronowerx' inspired by the craft's
technology, and will create the microcomputer revolution. By 1996,
Starling will take credit for laptops, the Internet, and barcode
readers. The "Voyager" will destroy the timeship in 1996,
therefore erasing this entire timeline, preventing the "Aeon" from
crashlanding in 1967 [V 150, V 151].

The legendary archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos discovers the lost city
of Thera. In 2370, Picard will compare himself to Marinatos [TNG #50].

In 2374 on Earth, the Montreal Historical Society will reproduce
this year's Expo '67 which the resurrected James Kirk will attend and
where he will be reunited with Captain Scott [GN 32].

Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelley with Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and
Dr. McCoy in the 23rd Century [ON 2].

The song 'Magic Carpet Ride' is recorded by Steppenwolf. Fond of the
song, Zefram Cochrane will play it during his historical "Phoenix"
flight in 2063 [ST VIII].

'2001: A Space Odyssey' science fiction milestone classic film is
released. The musical 'Funny Girl' is also released. Roberta Lincoln
will plan on seeing these films next year [TOS #84].

December
The U.S.S. "Enterprise" (from 2262) is sent to this time to study
Earth's history. With the aid of Gary Seven (Supervisor 194), an agent
trained by extraterrestrials, World War III is delayed until the 1990s
through the sabotage of a suborbital nuclear warhead launch. Roberta
Lincoln begins working for Mr. Seven as his secretary and associate.
This is the first large-scale U.F.P. time travel project [AE, ST 3].

Mr. Spock conducts historical research on Gary Seven, Isis, and Roberta
Lincoln's involvement in Earth history. According to Spock's report
(much of the information speculative, possibly acpocryphal, due to
the covert nature of their activities, and Seven's talent for working
behind the scenes of history), Seven and Lincoln will be linked to a
number of significant incidents: the averted assassination of Chairman
Mao Tse-tung at the Great Wall of China, the apprehension of the so-
called Watergate burglars in the District of Columbia, a well-publicized
near-disaster at the Three-Mile Island nuclear facility, the defeat of
the so-called "cybernauts" in conjunction with a pair of British
intelligence operatives, the successful elimination of a top secret
conspiracy to clone world leaders, the publication of a best-selling
treatise on global cooperation, the destruction of 14 deadly biological
weapons (including one spaceborn virus), the birth of a future Nobel
prize-winning diplomat, 3 successful motion pictures of socially
transforming value, the crash of the Skylab orbital facility (and the
subsequent lack of terrestrial casualties), the "accidental discovery"
of an AIDS vaccine, the creation of the first true artificial intel-
ligence, and the defeat and overthrow of Khan Noonian Singh.
In addition, according to Lincoln, within the next year: Seven will see to
it that Colonel Armstrong's moonwalk will be successful, Seven's New York
office will be blown up twice and attacked by killer robots once, on one
occassion Seven will slip over the Berlin Wall and back without using his
transporter, Seven will sneak in and out of the Pentagon with top secret
plans for a new type of robot solidier (called the "Quasar" Tapes),
a power-hungry megalomaniac with a white Persian kitten will be outwitted
by her, Lincoln and Seven will transport in right behind Buckingham Palace
guards, and she will slide down a secret tunnel under the White House to
stop Professor Tepesch from brainwashing JFK and Jackie. Seven and Isis
were also involved in attempting to liberate a former British intelligence
agent from an artificial village where he was being held captive as part
of an elaborate psychological conditioning experiment. That mission had
ended badly, Seven having underestimated the forces arrayed against
himself and Isis [TOS #84].

Lt. Paris will be fond of a 1969 Chevy Camaro of this year's vintage in
the 24th Century, and will feature it in holodeck programs [V 188, V 216].

1969, July
The U.S.S. "Enterprise," enroute to Starbase 9 in 2261, is accidentally
time-warped into this era by a black star. It is spotted on Earth radar,
and reported as a UFO by Captain John Christopher. This is the starship
"Enterprise's" first journey back into history. Using Sol's gravitational
attraction, the "Enterprise" returns to the future [TY].

16 July [reference stardate -1/6907.20]
The first manned moon shot, consisting of three astronauts, is launched on
Wednesday, 6 A.M. E.S.T. Humans first set foot on Earth's moon, Neil Arm-
strong being the first. It is the first of twelve successful landings on 19 July
Gary Seven, Isis, and Roberta Lincoln return to their New York apartment
(811 East 68th Street, Apt. 12-B) after ensuring Neil Armstrong's lunar
walk. Seven receives an emergency beacon, sent by Agent 146 in the
Romulan Star Empire, from three centuries in the future. There, the
Romulans have captured his base and have changed future history by
assassinating Captain Spock at the Khitomer Conference. Seven, Isis,
and Lincoln beam themselves to 2262 in the future, aboard the starship
"Enterprise" to rectify the damaged timeline [TOS #84]...

20 July
Seven, Isis, and Lincoln return in time to view the moon landing.
Their mission into the future was successful. Roberta Lincoln expresses
interest in seeing a motion picture--but 'Funny Girl' instead of
'2001: A Space Odyssey' since the latter would probably not live up to
the real thing she had experienced [TOS #84].

16 August
The philosopher Q (Quinn) gives Maury Ginsberg, a spotlight operator
at Woodstock, a ride in a jeep on Earth when his own van breaks down.

a successful orthodontist, and have 4 kids in Scarsdale [V 130].

In an alternate timeline, Starling introduces the very first isograted
circuit. Chronowerx industries will accelerate the computer age of the
late 20th Century via Captain Braxton's pillaged timeship [V 150].
