Shackleton can't be the only deep crater he could throw the body into.
And given they haven't picked up the thread, are we assuming Gordo's red lights were a hallucination or simply the lights of Svezda?

Hmm. I think that the show focuses on that a lot, but it's never been presented as the only reason. In that news blurb we hear, the issues you mention are listed alongside other issues.
Along with the NASA issues, I remember that the sex scandal is also at issue, and listed first before the NASA problems.
My iPad wouldn’t let me screen grab stuff, to I had to take these with my phone. I really hope Apple doesn’t sue me.
Anyways, here are some screenshots of interesting things from the show:

I look Episode 1-5 and i love the Series
it got it flaws, but in general it's good.
i wish they could show the Soviet side of that TL also and not as sort McGuffin to drive the Story,
I'm not sure what Alina will become since her obsession for Fire and Spaceflight
I would not be surprise that in Season 2 or 3 she will be the Series Natalie York.

Yep. I think it was Sea_Dragon. IIRC it was supposed to be used for missions to Mars. I think it strongly suggests what the 2nd season will be about.

Why does she think the PoD is the soviet’s landing? Was it advertised that way?
I admit I was perplexed about that, since I thought the PoD was Korolev not dying in 1966. (Which, by the way, I still think was too late in the game to get a 1969 Soviet landing. But that's a sidebar.)
It's hard to say what POD is: the series itself starts with a man standing on the moon...with Soviet flag. That is the first thing that happens different than IOTL. However, there is no explanation how the Soviets achieved that, they just did. Was it because Korolev didn't die? For some other reason? Did they somehow make a WORKING N-1 rocket? Not a word about it. "The Soviets win, now follow along"
I keep complaining about not showing Soviet part of the race, the Reds here serve simply as a reason for NASA to continue and improve the space program. In fact, pretty much anything the Americans do is motivated more or less by: because the Soviets did it first / are doing it / are planning to do it.

Sounds like I'm not missing much, then. I did a lot of reading about the space race while working at the Intrepid Museum (I was one of the first tour guides for the Enterprise), and getting the Soviets to the Moon first, let alone in 1969, let alone in a "now follow along" way is too much for my WSD.
I wonder about the "plutonium" bit. Are they shipping a nuclear reactor or using a nuclear thermal upper stage?
Well, I rather like the show, but my knowledge about space race is somewhat limited. Ignorance sometimes is a bliss, it seems. I just would love to see also the Soviet side.
According to Wiki Sea Dragon used liquid hydrogen and Oxygen as fuel. But it had payload about 550 tonnes - it might be a small reactor.
Or a nuclear pulse propulsion upper stage which fires once it clears the magnetosphere? It would explain the security and 550 tonnes could do it. OTOH, it's overkill for a trip to the Moon
So I've finished watching the newest episode, which I believe is the finale for season 1. I'm pleased for the most part. It's been a bit rocky here and there, but I liked it in general.
The musical choice at the end was interesting. I assume it indicates a change to the time period for season 2.
