Proxima: A human exploration of Mars (also known as just Proxima) is an [[AlternateHistory alternate spaceflight story]] writted by defconh3ck on the [[Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom 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.
