Na stronie anime Gundam The Origin pojawiło się historyczne wprowadzenie do świata Universal Century, w których pojawiają się nawiązania do prawdziwych wydarzeń/konceptów naukowych, wykorzystywanych w tym uniwersum. Niby nic nowego, ale zawsze miło, że Sunrise chciało się ^^

Wybrane fragmenty ^^

The Apollo program, implemented by America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from 1961 to 1972 A.D., carried out humanity’s first manned spaceflight mission to the Moon. The Apollo spacecraft, which made a landmark achievement in the history of humanity’s space endeavors, traveled from Earth to the Moon – a journey of about 380,000km – in just over 100 hours.

In addition, in 1772 A.D., Joseph-Louis Lagrange discovered two more points of equilibrium. These points lie along the Moon’s orbital path, at the vertexes of equilateral triangles whose bases are the line connecting Earth and Moon. L4 lies 60 degrees ahead of the Moon in its orbital path, and L5 lies 60 degrees behind it.

n 1969 A.D., Gerard K. O’Neill proposed the idea that a new world of space colonies could be built at the points indicated by Lagrange’s solution.

O’Neill was living through the 1960s and 1970s, when the world population was explosively increasing from 3 billion to 4 billion people. O’Neill’s space colony concept was one of the solutions proposed to humanity to deal with the imminent population explosion.
