Proxima: A human exploration of Mars (also known as just Proxima) is an alternate spaceflight story writted by defconh3ck on the Alternatehistory.com forums.The story focuses on a retelling of space shuttle program with it's the main point of divergence being in 1977 with NASA putting more effort in the space shuttle program. This culminates in a program designed to send humans to Mars dubbed "Olympus" with a fleet of interplanetary spacecraft being assembled by space shuttles and shuttle derived vehicles. A space station dubbed "Odyssey" is operational by 1987 (11 years prior to the ISS OTL) with a crewed mission to Mars taking place in 1996 and a landing in the following year. The story also focuses on the changes to spaceflight that occur in this timeline as a result of increased effort in the Space Shuttle program.The story can be read here. Finished as of 2022.

Anyone Can Die: Downplayed, whilst the only deaths are the astronauts on board space shuttle Vailiant, an incident involving the crew of Olympus 9 has an astronaut almost dying, getting his hand amputated and an emergency return to Earth.

Different World, Different Movies: Carl Sagan's Cosmos lasts far longer than IOTL, and even films an episode on board a space station.

For Want Of A Nail: The Skylab space station gets visited by the space shuttle as a result of being boosted by a "Titan boost module" The space shuttle program begins in 1980 with the first orbiter to fly being OV_099 "Challenger." OV-102 ends up being damaged prior to transport and thus Challenger ends up being the first to fly. NASA and ESA build a space station in the 1980s as opposed to the late 90s' and 2000s' like in OTL. NASA and ESA astronauts end up flying the Soyuz spacecraft starting from 1985, 10 years earlier than in OTL. The US airforce gets its own space shuttle "Valiant." Which ends up getting destroyed in chapter 10 as a result of a botched Return To Launchsite abort. SLC-6 ends up being used as a result of the aformentioned USAF shuttle. As a result of regular booster testing and increased inspections, the Challenger disaster never happens in this timeline. The Space Shuttle Program continues into 2022 NASA and CNSA work together in space whereas in OTL, laws forbid them from doing so. Despite rocky beginnings, Lockheed's VentureStar program succeeds in getting off the ground and eventually replaces the aging Shuttle fleet.

comment
Hard Work Hardly Works: The Skylab space station is revealed have suffered a huge variety of problems as a result of being abandonded in orbit for 6 years. Certainly not helped by the issues it had originally. The station is then deorbited into the Indian ocean in 1981.

In Spite of a Nail: OV-102 still experiences the same fate as in OTL except under slightly different circumstances. The Soviet Union still collapses in 1991. The Space Shuttle Program is retired though 11 years later than OTL.
