Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
I would agree most, but not all. Not even all that lack superscience.
Nuclear powered Orion type missions are certainly TL 8 if not TL 7 possible. Even if a parallel's society has the ability to travel to other planets relatively easily, it may require so much infrastructure and resource use as to make it effectively useless to Homeline or Centrum.

One a century ago where the atmosphere has precipitated out and only deep ocean vents and occasional volcanic activity allow anything to remain liquid. One a few years ago, where it's just antarctic cold everywhere, but still some life clinging to warm spots. One a few months ago... and so on. Maybe one parallel disturbingly similar to the others but still in place perhaps with researchers experimenting.

Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
If you go by the numbers on the link I posted, an order of thousands of years: we have lots and lots of excess oxygen.

Lucifer-5 has colonies around the solar system, which means you see large amounts of goods flow without too much security. Its also TL6, which means you maintain a solid Tech advantage in spy-craft. Additionally, outtime activity on this world is established to be pretty active in the first place. Pele-3 has perhaps more accessibly technology, and electronics will raise fewer eyebrows: but its high tech and considered to be a minor parachronic threat without infinity intervention. An uninhabited world were you can play around in space without worrying about other people is really nice when you compare it with those two, where things are possible but tricky. Though now that I think about it, Pele-4 does match that description... if the aliens don't show up. And yes, you can always just leverage classic rocket tech, including orions, on unihabited worlds. I'm now imagining a world earmarked for "environmentally irresponsible atomic industry".

Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
It has 10 times Homeline's normal background concentration of uranium and other radioactives. It's a smother, but if you're bringing everything you need for spaceflight anyway...

And for what return? We can already launch satellites on Homeline (and not need to parachronically move them). Infinite worlds means no need for resources from space, and likely dimmed interest in space exploration. Centrum doesn't have much of a space program on its own timeline. The only purpose, other than pure science, would be as a weapon against off-world threats. But Centrum doesn't have much of a space program, the crosstime Nazis of Reich-5 aren't connected to their world's (admittedly advanced) space program, and science isn't gonna defeat the Cabal. |

Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
I suppose the big advantage is that if nobody else makes use of space on a parachronic level, it's a good place to hang out. If Centrum ever manages to nuke Homeline, having orbital stations would allow you to keep the parachronic high ground.
