  1. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    So, with only two episodes to go, it seems that this image, captured from an early trailer, must be Apollo 24, and 25, in orbit together. Although, what could be going on, I’m still no wiser.

  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    The LEM in this plot must be redesigned/upgraded from the one in OTL. First, it is designed to carry three people up and down, which implies more fuel. Then we have the issue of the legs, which were originally left on the moon. Then we have the question of enough fuel to land again, and to...

  3. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    There is a bit of a gap in the plot, in relation to the advances in technology. As mentioned, we seem to have some sort of reusable LEM, but there's no explanation, for example, of how it refuels. The CM remains in lunar orbit for 3 months, which raises similar issues about endurance and...

  4. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Yes, I think she was kicked down the road, for the reasons you've mentioned. Although it wasn't apparent, at the time, she was assigned to Apollo 25 over three years before the planned launch. Waverly was Cobb's back-up on Apollo 15, so it likely she'd have flown within a year or two, but, as...

  5. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I'm not sure we've seen any of the other astronauts smoking regularly.

  6. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Just re-watching a couple of episodes tonight, and I was left wondering how Tracy Stevens will possibly survive in space, without her cigarettes!

  7. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    That review seems to have misidentified Cobb! Re-watching that short sequence confirms both the members of Collins' crew are men, who we haven't seen before. I haven't re-watched the rest, and I genuinely thought there were visual references to Apollo 21. However, if you are right, it makes a...

  8. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    There seem to be several errors in your hypothesis. The end of episode 5 shows Jamestown touching down in October 1973, and the voice over says its ready to receive the 'boys' on Apollo 21. This means a long gap, of as you say, around 8 months until it is occupied. Baldwin, Gordo and Poole are...

  9. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Some interesting responses and comments there. Thanks. Here are some of my thoughts. The Baldwin/Stevens/Poole mission is definitely designated Apollo 21. At the end of Episode 5, the voice over refers to the Jamestown base being ready to receive the crew of Apollo 21, and is dated October...

  10. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I’m a bit confused by the mission numbers and crew assignments, where there seem to be some continuity discrepancies, and a lack of logic, compared with what occurred in OTL. Apollo 11 was the first US lunar landing, followed by Apollo 12, which coincided with the female cosmonaut landing on...

  11. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Apollo era fictional Female Astronaut team ("Nixon's women" according to the episode guide), so what's not to like! So who will be the First American Woman in Space and the First Woman on the Moon? Looking at the main characters in the cast list, the main contenders seem to be Tracy Stevens...

  12. NASA's Waterloo: A Realistic Mission to Mars Post Apollo

    Oh dear, am I that predictable!! Although, actually the PLAAF did have some female test pilots, in OTL, including this woman, who just fits your timeline nicely!! http://www.womenofchina.cn/womenofchina/html1/news/china/12/5251-1.htm

  13. NASA's Waterloo: A Realistic Mission to Mars Post Apollo

    Are we getting a Chinese woman in space, on one of these early Longzhou's ?

  14. Who would become the first astronaut if Britain launch the first man in space

    Interesting! Can we read about this brave soul anywhere?

  15. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Out of curiosity, how old are you lunar explorers. In OTL, the Apollo guys were late 30's or older, but I sense your people are younger?

  16. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Curious to see if Helga has the 'bottle' to let them strap her atop the next A14 rocket. At least, it seems she doesn't have too much time to think about it. I guess that if she doesn't, that will be the end of her ambition to be the First Woman on the Moon!

  17. WI: Woman instead Yuri Gagarin

    Sounds interesting! Can you post a link to this event. Always curious to see how early female spaceflights are portrayed!

    An interlude.............the flight of "Matilda 6" (Part 3) Daily Express (10th April 1962) “Woman orbits the Earth. Lt.Douglas launched successfully.” Daily Telegraph (11th April 1962) “Matilda 6 due to land today. Douglas said to be in excellent shape” The Times (12th April 1962) “Emily...

  19. Global Space Race

    Thanks for the encouraging feedback. It would be nice if someone took on the task of developing some other aspects, or charcters, in a similar way :-)
