A child is born off Earth and raised there through early childhood

Open required by T4, Full Expanse

The marker that separates a settlement from a work camp, and the criterion Tier 2 uses. Early settlements may forbid it for years, so it resolves late even if the biology allows it.

What counts as it having happened

A child is born at a site off Earth and lives there continuously to at least age five, with the birth and residence publicly documented by the operating agency or company.

Settled by: Public records of the operating agency or company, confirmed by independent reporting

Each number is the chance this resolves yes before that scenario's window closes, given that everything it depends on resolves first. Estimated 2026-09-08.

Why these numbers: Given both the animal result and the human year, the remaining barriers are policy and ethics, which early settlements are likely to hold for decades; raising a child needs a settlement, not a base.
