Die Glocke (Space) (Germania)

Moon Landing
On April 25, 1947, a rocket ship was invented by German Die Glocke scientists in union with Einstein that used a series of nuclear explosions to propel it forward, which were kept from destroying the ship by immediately being cooled by liquid nitrogen. This news was shared with the world by Hitler himself on April 27. The ship was outfitted with imaging technology that would be used to create a map of the moon's surface excluding craters in order to aid colonization. Hitler wanted the mission to only be to the dark side of the moon this time in order to maintain the secrecy of German affairs. On May 1, Germany launched its rocket with 25 people on board and it reached the moon in under about 45 seconds. Once there, the Germans immediately began setting up a protective dome in the area they landed in to shield against potentially harmful light rays. The Germans began mapping the moon on May 3, after the base was set up in the dome. On May 6, a hastily drawn map of the known areas of the moon was sent to Earth.

On May 9, the Germans began using bacteria to turn the ground in their dome into soil for planting. This was completed by May 21, and the Germans started planting, using Xerum lights as a light source. About a week later, an atmosphere was established in the dome, and the astronauts were able to breathe without their helmets. Mapping resumed on May 23, and a second map was sent to Earth on June 10, showing much more. This map showed a large area on the dark side of the moon that would be able to be made into a continent in the event of widespread terraformation.

On June 24, a second journey to the moon was made, this time on the light side. That night, Hitler proved that Germans were on the moon by turning on a massive Xerum light source that was visible worldwide.

Colonization Begins
On July 1, Hitler allowed 200,000 German citizens to journey to the light side of the moon and start a colony, which was named New Berlin. On July 3, a dome was created around the area new Berlin was going to be and bacteria began creating soil. On July 14, plants began creating an atmosphere in New Berlin. By July 25, New Berlin was fully developed and its citizens could move around without wearing helmets. A few days later, a map of the light side of the moon was sent to Earth, showcasing nearly all of it.

Unfortunately, at this time only a small part of the moon could be inhabited without creating other domes, which was a viable option, but Hitler didn't like it so he decided to leave the moon alone for a few years and allow New Berlin to thrive. The market for moon rocks on Earth began increasing greatly, and Germany's economy began growing.
