POD takes effect in the 70s, so I would say unlikely.Will we see Portugal gaining territory at the expense of other countries like Italy, Germany, and Spain? Maybe a bigger Macau here, more SE Asian bits there, etc.
Between Portugal, Brazil, the Pink Map, Guinea, Macau, and East Timor you'll have a pretty big lusosphere.

No not ASB due to fact that neither the NASA, communist space program or Lusitania space program are single country space programs but multi nation space programs.Lusitania Mars and Moon landing? ASB territory IMHO.
Ok my apologies when I said multi country I should of explained it. It included the Portuguese federation (which is much larger than just Portugal and what you consider Portuguese colonies) but also included countries in South America, Europe, Indian sub continent and Asia).Don't see how it's possible that Portugal, Angola and Mozambique could have Moon/Mars landing program?
This means the POD is in 1920, an earlier fall of the 1st Republic.
Salazar's presence as the PM is a detrimental thing for the country, as was the ousting of Mendes Cabeçadas.
The mention of Sá Carneiro as a leading figure alongside Marcelo Caetano implies a late and slow transition to democracy.
