I pride myself for planning my trips around town. It’s the simple things like the quickest route to the store and at what time (avoid those school zones). If I were planning something more intricate, like time travel, I’d spend the time to understand where and when I’m traveling to and also study a bit about what’s to come after I arrive.
Given the above would be standard of pretty much any time traveler, especially the ones that know they’re on a one-way trip, I’ve got the following question. What are the major events events that lead up to the nuclear conflict (from your perspective) in detail? It’s important to know these events so you can understand the divergence from the timeline you’re from.
We’re already aware of the ISS situation and how it did not play out - what happened before then?
Also, how much is the trip to travel back? I believe you mentioned that the cost was extraordinarily high, but you were able to buy your ticket with life insurance money. This could mean a few things: that’s not as expensive as I’d think, the amount of life insurance payout is insane in the future, or the economy is in such bad shape with inflation/extended recession that everything is overly expensive.
These are just some ideas I’ve been thinking about as I’ve been going about my days.
