"‘For All Mankind’ Review: It’s a Mad (Men) Space..." Topic

,,, Race in Apple's New Alt-History Sci-Fi Drama.

"What did we lose when we stopped caring about space exploration? Mankind's quest into the final frontier has long been one of humanity's most ambitious and aspirational pursuits, and if there's one thing that recent space epics like Gravity and First Man make clear, it's that human beings were absolutely bonkers to strap themselves to rockets and fly into the great unknown in the first place. But that's what makes it a dazzling act of human ambition and accomplishment.

In the new Apple TV+ series For All Mankind, we get a look at what might have been had the space race never ended, and specifically, had it pointed America's scientific history down a more inclusive path. From Outlander and Battlestar Galactica co-creator Ronald D. Moore, who knows a thing or two about aspirational space dramas after working on several Star Trek series, For All Mankind imagines an alternate history where Russia beat America to the moon in the Space Race. In Moore's vision, the defeat spurs American history down a new path, causing the Nixon administration to double down on our journey to the stars. When Russia adds insult to injury, launching the first woman to the moon just a few short months after their first cosmonaut touches down, For All Mankind follows what might have been if America had invested as much into continued space exploration and the growth of the program as we did in getting there first…"

Sounds interesting.

Equally so, is how we've gutted the space program after the shuttle disasters, and are dependent upon our enemy Russia for rides into space for our astronauts.

Sadly, there is no Uber or Lyft option (I like the latter one better for the name of taxis into space as well, just in case anyone at that company is thinking big – seems like the perfect name for a space-capable taxi service too) for our astronauts to utilize, currently.

Glad you like it my friend!
