Reference Stardate 0/0001 through 0/0012
  • RSD 0/0001.01 (1 January): The Reference Stardate uses this date as its base.[1]

2001

Reference Stardate 0/0101 through 0/0112
  • RSD 0/0100: The Mercury Rover sends back the first soil sample information from its location at the terminator. Data obtained is from both the dark and light sides of the planet.[2]

2002

Reference Stardate 0/0201 through 0/0212
  • RSD 0/0200: A UN study shows that the space industry will grow at an exponential rate over the next fifteen years.[2]
  • RSD 0/0200: Construction begins on the first city in space. This is by far man's largest undertaking off the Earth to date.[2]

2003

Reference Stardate 0/0301 through 0/0312
  • RSD 0/0310.15 (15 October): The United Space Initiative is signed in New York. This landmark agreement will focus and accelerate man's exploration of the Solar System for the benefit of all mankind.[2]
  • RSD 0/0300: The Lindbergh class space ferry is launched, replacing the Space Shuttle as the primary surface-to-orbit spacecraft.[2]

2004

Reference Stardate 0/0401 through 0/0412
  • RSD 0/0400: First major expansion of the Goddard Moonbase.[2]
  • RSD 0/0400: Farside Moonbase begins operations, and will specialize in radio telescope observations.[2]
  • RSD 0/0400: A Mass Driver is in use at Clavius Mines. Raw materials are shot back to Earth orbit for processing to feed burgeoning industries.[2]

2005

Reference Stardate 0/0501 through 0/0512
  • RSD 0/0500: The first child is born in space at the Farside Moonbase to Radio Telescope Technician 1st Class Rita Ashworth and Dr. Weldon Ashworth of the Astro-Telemetry Section; the parents named their son Jules, after the famous science-fiction writer, Jules Verne, who first envisioned human exploration of the moon. This event is heralded the world over as "a new generation of man has begun."[2]

2006

Reference Stardate 0/0501 through 0/0612
  • RSD 0/0600: Thomas Morrison, the first person to die on the moon, is buried in a simple grave marking the historic occasion.[2]

2007

  • RSD 0/0700: Marking the 50th anniversary of the space age, the most comprehensive encyclopedia of space exploration is published.[2]

2008

Reference Stardate 0/0801 through 0/0812
  • RSD 0/0800: The Aventeur class enters service. It is the first ship to be entirely assembled in Earth orbit. Advanced fission propulsion and capacious cargo modules made this an invaluable vessel for early interplanetary flight. The U.N.S.S. Lewis and Clark is among the first ships of the class launched.[2]
  • RSD 0/0800: A new class of Earth-Moon Liner enters service, and will remain in use until 2024.[2]
  • RSD 0/0800: Fusion power research and development brings for the ultimate recycling device, the Fusion Torch, a furnace so hot that it can melt down all materials, artificial and natural, to their basic state.[2]

2009

Reference Stardate 0/0901 through 0/0912
  • RSD 0/0900: The second L-5 city in space opens; five more will be built over the next decade.[2]
