The China moon landing on the 2030 page needs to be edited to reflect that China wants to get there on a Long March 10 rocket instead of a Long March 9 rocket.

See various comments here:

I think I'll be adding this one next.

2029 – Large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing

This may or may not be worthy of an entry, but it should be noted that the frequency of asteroid impacts similar in size to the Chelyabinsk meteor is about once every 80 years, meaning that it is possible another town or city will see a destructive fireball event by 2090 or 2100.

That is, if humans ain't around anymore. By then we'd probably zap it with a laser or something

BTW, what's the source for Orbital Reef coming in 2028? Didn't Sierra announce that they were gonna get it up and running by '27? (https://californiaconsultants.org/event ... -in-space/)

(Went to the official Orbital Reef site but couldn't find 2028)

Also the entry for the ATHENA X-ray observatory needs to be moved from 2028 to 2035, per the official ESA site (https://sci.esa.int/web/athena/-/59896-mission-summary).

The Chinese particle accelerator entry, currently featured in the 2028 section, needs to be moved back to 2027 and updated to reflect that they're just going for one big accelerator known as the Circular Electron Positron Collider.
