Looking at the THS timeline for two reasons.

The THS timeline works reasonably well if you simply double the time to a lot of the dates. 2012 becomes 2024, 2030 becomes 2060, 2100 becomes 2200, etc. You would only need to shuffle around a handful of dates to make it match up with the real timeline.

This means the late 2020s and 2030s start having all the exciting space colonization stuff that was put in the 2010s. Maybe wearable computers finally happen in the later 2020s.

I personally think tripling the length of the timeline would be much more realistic, but I think that waters down the THS flavor of wild, out of control change too much.
