hi

if the reapers blow up all interstellar races every 50,000 years, then you would be really unlucky to start a space program just before the reapers turned up.

this happens to nearly all of the races.
the Asari discovered space flight first, and they only did it about 2000 years before the reapers turned up. out of 50,000 years, 2000 is low.
and they were first.

so A:WHY did they all individually reach interstellar space within a thousand years, and B WHY WAS IT right before the 50,000 year mark?

The Asari discovered the Citadel about 2750 years before the beginning of Mass Effect, and they personally helped several races get off the ground, like the Elcor.

fine, humanity getting interstellar space makes sense, but why for everyone else?

Reapers don't attack every 50,000 years, they wait until the races develop to where the reapers want them to be then destroy them.

This time around it just happened to be 50,000 years ago.
