*The Harmonian agent known as Alistair McGovern arrives from the
	future to observe what his culture terms "The Wonder Years" of
	1970-2000.

	Someday you'll have explain this...

It's a reference to Spider Robinson's "Callahan's Bar"/"Lady Sally's
Place"/"Mary's Place" stories.  

	*First commercial ground-to-orbit spacecraft launched, by Genom.

	This spacecraft was dubbed MIR.. >:)

As opposed to Skylab, the first orbit-to-ground spacestation...  <grin>
