2001

Events

• January 1 - Groundbreaking for the Millennium Gate.
• March - The space station Mir ends its operational life in low Earth orbit.
• September 11 - A major terrorist attack is launched against the United States of America, destroying the World Trade Center in New York City and seriously damaging the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Thousands of people die in the attacks, one of whom is a firefighter whose axe will become a treasured family heirloom, eventually coming into the possession of Domenica Corsi. Shaun Christopher was prevented from boarding one of the planes which crashed into the World Trade Center by Gary Seven. As a result, he survived to command the first manned mission to Saturn aboard USS Lewis & Clark in 2020, a pivotal event in the history of human space travel.
