A Brief History of Spaceflight
Before the USC
Spaceflight was first succesful in the late 1900s and coninued until the mid 2000s. The space journeys occured on low quality ships, were usually unmanned and never went further the Earth's neighbouring planet Mars. Then, earthen governments introduced a spaceflight ban in order to protect Earth's environment, and spaceflight became a thing of history.After the Ban
The spaceflight ban was lifted in 4256 and the The United Space Confederation was formed as a governing body in charge of regulating and monitoring spacflight. Spaceflight had not existed for approcimately 2000 years and so to earthen society, it was like discovering it all over again. But this time, spaceships became better and humans explored further into Earth's solar system. One organization changed human society as we know it.Types of Spaceship

Transport Shuttles are a small type of ship used for transporting people or cargo to larger ships orbiting earth or to nearby destinations such as the moon. They are light and quick to build but do not have the resources or strength to spend a long time in outer space. A transport shuttle will make between 50 and 100 journeys within its lifetime.Deep Space Exploration Ships

Deep Space Explorations Ships are a medium sized space vessel designed to sustain crews on voyages to the very edges of Earth's solar system. They can carry a reasonable amount of cargo (including food, water and medical supplies) and enough fuel to travel long distances. Each ship will make one return journey within its lifetime.Cargo Shuttles
