All right, fellas, I seriously need help with this one.
It's a question that is simple and yet is complicated, and it goes like this:
So we have all of this Fiction sci-fi technology, and the Federation and the like. Lots of space exploration stuff.
...so what happens to NASA?

Probably either gets absorbed by the Federation, or another similar type group.. OR.. whoever is in charge of the majority of the US is funding them, and NASA is still doing space exploration enhanced with tech traded/bought from other sources/allies, but also has a division that is acquiring alien technology and studying it, and applying it to everyday use or military (like SG-1).. either through black ops or less friendly means/discoveries and trade

I think it would be most interesting if NASA continued to exist. They no doubt would cooperate with Stargate Command. I imagine that one of NASA's first goals would be to obtain some kind of FTL. Then they could get assistance from Starfleet (I'm assuming that the Prime Directive would consider any FTL tech to be equivalent to warp drive). I imagine they would cooperate with Starfleet, but not be subsumed by them. They might even get a few old Starfleet vessels (with Air Force/Stargate personnel for security), particularly the Oberth-class that is sometimes used by civilians as well. Depending on the relation between Neo-America and it's terrestrial counterpart I'm pretty sure that they would be very interested in supporting NASA. Player characters with access to space ships could actually be hired to work for NASA.

Been looking up some stuff regarding nearby stars and found something interesting. Apparently Babylon 5 and Reach, from Halo, are both in the Epsilon Eridani system. Wikipedia has a page about Epilson Eridani in fiction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Eridani_in_fiction

OK, that's interesting.
Earlier I wrote about B4 and B5 being on the Solar System (think they are together on one of the LaGrange Points). Not to say that B5 wouldn't probably also be on Epsilon Eridani, but still...
...well, B4 and B5 are used as a type of "trading post", so the one on Sol could have some modifications that make it different from the (maybe closer to canon or maybe not-maybe something like adding Minbari tech to the structure or whatever) one on Epsilon.

I've been working on my thoughts on various locations in the solar system (beyond Earth, of course).

For Counter Earths, has there been much info on them in the setting yet? If not.. maybe they are in the same orbit as Earth prime (main core line Earth) just in different positions along the orbital path. Or maybe they are slightly out of phase and can only be accessed via special ransportation rings/pads on each Earth, orbit or the moon, or accessed via specific flight path at one of the Lagange points not occupied by a station (or the station functions as a transportation ring/platform. Plus there's magic and transdimensional science or super powers.

Still haven't thought much about Counter-Earths (need to change that). I was thinking of other stuff for the setting like Mars having some parts of it that are not terraformed and some little in-jokes here and there (Aicadia Planitia is nick-named locally the "Watney Plains", for example. Groups like NASA make expeditions there for extreme-environment training).

Would you mind trying to stat out some Gundam-related stuff? I'm particularly interested in the RX-78-2 Gundam, the RGM-79 GM and the MS-06 Zaku.
