You're also missing the point of C0DA. It isn't meant to be THE future. Look up what a musical coda is and you'll be on the right track to understanding it.

Additionally, it has huge metaphysical implications and those of us who love and understand deep lore are the ones that love C0DA. The futuristic setting doesn't matter outside of atmosphere. Sure, there are points about the setting that can be more deeply analyzed, but people spend far too long obsessing with the destruction of Nirn. The story is about overcoming the sorrow of Anu's Dream and the birth of a Dream of Love. That is far more important than moon colonies. Space ships don't exist in TES, neither does the internet, robots do, but only those created by the Dwemer, who are now long gone. Time travel is only possible with divine intervention and has occured only once or twice, not often at all to be sure.

C0DA is false, that's all there is to it. Only things used by Bethesda are true.

C0DA isn't for those who understand 'deep lore' it's for the people who blindly follow MK. I don't read C0DA, but since MK made it, it's false until used. Remember that MK is the only person who said Aldmeris isn't a real thing, contradicting with the Elder Scrolls lore.
