We do know that the events of BG are supposed to take place sometime after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in 1969. This scene (from "Hand of God", I think) invalidates G80 since 1980-1969 = 11, which is less than the 30 yahrens that were supposed to have passed prior to G80. Unfortunately, it still doesn't give us a better idea of when it was supposed to have taken place.
Hopefully, we on Earth will continue to develop, so if something like BG actually happens, we'd be able to marshall resources and knowledge to do something about it.
Since so much was left undone, there's no telling what happened in the Colonies. TommyBoy70 is right, it's a shame those stories aren't being told.
