When is the gravity drive developed in Event Horizon? (2035 approx.)
A new propulsion system enables faster than light travel.
Open recordOverview
Event Horizon is set in a near future where space travel has advanced beyond conventional propulsion. The development of a gravity based drive enables faster than light travel by manipulating space itself. This breakthrough allows humanity to explore deeper regions of the solar system and beyond, but it also introduces unknown risks.
The timeline centers on an experimental vessel that disappears during its initial mission. Its loss creates uncertainty around the safety of the new technology. Years later, a signal suggests that the ship has returned, leading to a recovery mission. This shift from exploration to investigation marks a turning point in how the technology is perceived.
The events of 2047 highlight the consequences of pushing beyond known limits. As crews investigate the returned vessel, they are forced to confront the implications of their own technological achievements. The timeline reflects a transition from innovation to survival, showing that not all discoveries can be safely understood or controlled.
