What if…
The first nation to went to space in modern time was not US, also not Soviet.
It was a breakaway group of German and Danes who believed in God, let's say, Descendants of Dan, who decide that only the best of the best is allowed to be up in heaven.
They take the royal families from kingdoms all over the world to space, along with their most trusted and loyal scientists, and abandon the rest of the unfit humanity behind, hoping that one day the ones left behind is fit enough mentally and logically to go up on their own and join their space brothers.
Their technology was based on electrostatics and frequency control.
Their power come from resonance instead of fuel consumption.
They build their vehicles and went to the poles, and realize that the earth was hollow.
They made a city-size space station that orbits the earth as a transit station, and cloak it from visible light.
Then they went up to the moon, Mars, Venus, most of the other planets, and realize that most planets was also hollow.
They colonize most of the spheres and build a settlement "within" the structure, not on the surface, something resembling a Dyson sphere or sort.
They live happily in peace, real happy that they forgot that earth still exist at that time.
That is until somebody made a giant bomb and drop it on the Japs, which causes a ripple/shockwave in space that was strong enough that it disturbed some of their resonance-based technology.
They remember what (who) they left on Earth, and start monitoring the surface people to ensure we behave and don't blow things up.
Soviet sent Sputnik up, the space group congratulate the achievement, request them to sign a peace treaty in exchange of friendship, knowledge, and silence.
US sent guys to the moon, found that people have been living there for awhile.
Devastated by the truth, the branch responsible for the moon trip tell Kubrick to make a fake moon landing video to ensure the US "first explorer" record is not tainted.
At some point before or after those events, their "kins" that was left behind on Earth tried to make a deal with them, they want to be allowed up as well.
The space group refused, until Earthlings (including their "kins") can control their punkish desires, it's better to confine them on the surface.
Their Earth family didn't take this too well.
The Earth family really wanna go to space, they hate how mediocre Earth have become.
The family made a plan to quickly control the world to prove that they're worthy of going up.
The method chosen was enslavement of the weak, done to ensure the quickest path to one world order.
The space group don't really agree with the approach taken by their Earth relatives, but they refrain from interfering with the process, they believe natural selection will prevail, to be or not to be, they choose to let God decide what's best.
Though, sounds like they kinda changed their mind lately…
They took plan C, a hybrid boy, half Earth German gene, half Space Danes gene.
Rumor has it the boy managed to make a deal with the space group last month.
The deal include free access to the heavens, but under an agreement that he'll keep some history hidden, mostly regarding the ugly stuffs that their Earth family did in their quest to reach space.
Rumor said boy agreed, as long as history is written from the perspective of A1.
Boy said some truth bending will give hope to the people and prevent them from feeling that they're being lied on so far.
Space group said to have agreed to the term.
They don't really get the boy's attitude, eccentric they say, but they think he got some future ahead of him.
The boy that never lied, he just like to bend some stuff, racing close the gutters, a true drift king.
