Events[]
- The sixth space probe in the Voyager series, Voyager VI, is launched by NASA.[1][2]
- J.R. Rasmussen quits her job at Paramount Pictures.[3]
- The New York Yankees would field a team, later considered by Sanctuary District guard Vin to be the best in the history of baseball.[4]
- The episode, produced in 1995, correctly predicted that the '99 Yankees would have an auspicious season. The Yankees did in fact end up winning the World Series in that year. In terms of statistics, the 1998 Yankees have an edge on the '99 team. Including the postseason, the '98 Yankees won more games than any other team before or since.
- Doctors Without Borders organization wins the Nobel Peace Prize.[5]
- At some point between the years 2364 and 2376, the Federation utilized the Guardian of Forever to send Ambassador Spock to planet Earth in the year 1999, when it was determined that intervention was needed to keep an asteroid from destroying the planet. Spock encountered Q, and convinced him to use his power to move the asteroid back 30 years distance from the planet. Given Q's beliefs about humanity's potential, it can be understood why Q would be willing to save Earth from it's premature destruction.[6][7]
- J.R. Rasmussen resigns her position and forswores time travel in this year, after receiving a vision from a Bajoran Orb of herself and Wesley Crusher sharing an encounter on Risa.[8]
- 14 June
- Nelson Mandela ends his term as leader of South Africa.[5]
