One survivor, Syam Vist, comes across the Universal Century charter (Laplace's Box), which dictates that the inhabitants of space should be given self-governance without interference from the Earth.

George Glenn's Confession. As George Glenn departs for Jupiter aboard the Tsiolkovsky, he reveals the existence of Coordinators, and releases the necessary genetic engineering techniques onto the worldwide network. The world is thrown into chaos by these events.
In the name of environmental protection, the pressure group Blue Cosmos declares itself adamantly opposed to Coordinator technology.
U.C. 0024
An international conference is held to discuss the Coordinator controversy issue. A protocol on genetic modification is adopted, totally prohibiting the manipulation of human genes. Nonetheless, some wealthy individuals secretly have their children turned into Coordinators.
The Earth Federation rejects the genetic modification protocol and instead begins an investigation how George Glenn was modified, researching the Coordinator Process, and adopting limitation laws for public safety in all this, while looking into its positive effects for further Space Colonization as well as eventual Mars and later Jupiter Colonization.

Earth Federation research reveals several crippling flaws in the Coordinator Process, but notes that it is correctable. In response, the EF Limitation Laws on Coordinators are readdressed or removed. With this official sanctioning, many more join the boom.
Furthermore, the EF Assembly pushes forward with further Lunar development and expresses to jumpstart Mars Colonization.

This project is funded mainly by the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, and the Republic of East Asia, and the new L5 colony cluster is to be managed by representatives of these sponsor nations, but the Earth Federation announces authority and though the nations would have access and be encouraged to support, actual matters would be left up to it.
Zeon Zum Deikun begins to propagate his philosophy of Contolism, a synthesis of Ere-ism (the philosophy that the Earth is sacred and that humanity should leave it in peace) and Side-ism (the belief the Sides should be treated as sovereign nations).

Degwin Sodo Zabi marries the much younger Naliss.
The Earth Federation offers semi-autonomous status to colonies on Luna and Mars that accept large numbers of Coordinators and offers Colonization bonuses to any Coordinator that moves to either. Many accept the Earth Federation’s offer and cities like Von Braun and Copernicus begin to enjoy more independence from the Earth Federation as well as the nation states of Earth.

The first ten space colonies (later known as Aprilius City) of the new L5 cluster are completed. These colonies, dubbed PLANTs, are intended to serve as large-scale production sites. The one thing they cannot make is food, which the PLANTs are strictly prohibited from producing and which must be imported entirely from Earth.
U.C. 0053
The estimated Coordinator population now exceeds a hundred million.
Anti-Coordinator organizations begin carrying out acts of terrorism against the PLANTs. Since they have no political autonomy and are thoroughly demilitarized, the PLANTs are unable to defend themselves, and the Coordinators working in the PLANTs become increasingly dissatisfied.
In response, the Earth Federation declares a crackdown on terrorist organizations and authorizes the PLANTS to build colonies for the purpose of gaining independent agriculture while also dispatching some military forces to the PLANTS.
The Nation States oppose the Earth Federation General Assembly’s decisions and threaten to withdraw, there is a public backlash against both sides over the PLANTS.

The Zodiac Alliance is formed.
Certain interests become concern over the freer nature of the Lunar, Mars, and Space Colonies.
