The Star Child

The birth of a child will change everything.

At some point, probably in the next decade or two, a very special child will be born. A child like no other in human history. One whose arrival will herald a new age. It will be the first child born outside the Earth.

Human expansion into space is a continuous process, that is already underway, but society tends not to react to gradual processes, but to landmark events. As the public tends to ignore space news for years until some big event - Artemis II, the first Starship booster catch etc. - they will likely not keep track of continued progress in space habitation until events force them to pay attention.

And when the first child is born in space, everyone will ask “what does this mean?”
