Basic timeline for Dakota
March 2011 - Finds a paint can of Handwavium mixed in with his uncles stash of car paint.
April 2012 - Begins prep work on the Shooting Star.
July 2012 - Completes the Shooting Star. Accidentally biomods himself, making a hasty launch without any supplies. Suffers damage on the way up do to missile attacks from USAF fighters.
Dec/Jan 2012-13 - Pays off his debts, but continues making earth to orbit / lunar tourist runs as a Indy. Continues this through 2013 and into early 2014.
Classified 2013 - *Does side work moving a Spec-ops group around during the Bosk war. Questions are not asked, answers are not given, and continued inquires will be shot.
Unknown early-to-late 2014 - Builds and launches the prototype of the **Superhawk class in Australia. Is attacked on the first test flight by a environmental group in 'waved cars for being one of the despoilers of space in international airspace over the ocean. Manages to limp back to Aussie airspace. The blueprints are open sourced out to fen space.
*Working on a story about this, the ops group will remain unnamed. Nor will I really cover things from their view point as I want to leave that up to others.
**I'm still flushing out the details on that ship, it's meant to be a cargo/ferry ship for the earth to mars. Based design wise off the thunderhawk from 40k fame, with no dakka and larger. Hull made from cut up ISO standard containers. The design was built on the cheap using surplus and salvaged gear to keep the price down since Dakota doesn't have a lot of money.
