Eyes Turned Skywards is an alternate spaceflight history timeline found on the alternatehistory.com forums. The difference from our timeline is that after the 1969 Moon landings, NASA doesn't choose to develop the Space Shuttle, but instead continues to use hardware based on the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn rockets. Eventually, an international space station is built in the late 80s/early 90s, ten years before the International Space Station began construction in our timeline. A return to the Moon occurs in 1999 (the 30th anniversary of the Apollo program). The Soviet Union/Russia comes to use a TKS spacecraft instead of the Soyuz, and China comes up with their own manned spacecraft a decade earlier than our timeline's Shenzhou program. The timeline also details other differences, such as unmanned space probes, and changes in pop culture due to the butterfly effect, and is usually presented in a history book-like, dialogue-free format.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The thread can be found here, and a summary (along with some nice images) can be found at the Alternate History WikiFinished as of early September 2015, as anything beyond 2015 would be less realistic and pure speculation.Not to be confused with the Adventure Time fanfiction of the same name.

Different World, Different Movies: The "Interlude" updates guest-written by Brainbin (author of That Wacky Redhead, a timeline that's all about this trope) sketch out how popular culture evolves differently in this timeline, starting with the original plans for a Star Trek Revival in The '70s playing out as intended on the small screen instead of being re-worked into a movie. It airs on NBC - the same network that cancelled the original Star Trek - starting in 1977, under the name Star Trek: The New Voyages, resulting in TOS instead acquiring the retronym TOV, for The Original Voyages.note in OTL, the plan was for the intended sequel series, Sta Trek: Phase II, to be the flagship series of a planned fourth TV network called the Paramount Television Service; the head of Paramount's parent Gulf & Western, Charles Bluhdorn, mothballed the plans over fears that it would bleed money, leading to the conversion of the pilot for Phase II, "In Thy Image", into ST:TMP (Star Trek: The Animated Series likewise becomes TAV, for The Animated Voyages.) This jump-starts an entirely different course for the wider Star Trek franchise.

Allohistorical Allusion: Challenger and Discovery are names for space station modules instead of Space Shuttles.
