So does anyone know how this show is actually going to work? Will it be like other streaming platforms where you spend $X per month, or will it be available as a per-episode or per-season for $X download through iTunes?
On Netflix they do both. Release whole season at once or release 1 episode a week.
when I wanted to watch jack Ryan on Amazon I just subscribed for one month watch all episodes and cancel subscription.
IIRC simply making it so you could test fire your engines, rather than a couple from each batch and crossing your fingers that the rest were of a similar build quality, would go a long way to improving the situation. Oh that and some filters to stop swarf or the like from being ingested.A speculation on My part how Soviet Won the Moon Race in TV series.
... the original version with 24 engines and no supercooled propellants.
The premise has some issues with it. Namely, having Korolev survive his operation, by itself, could never have managed a Soviet Manned Moon Landing.
This is on account of just how far behind they were by 1966, having only really started in 1964/5, some three years later than the US, and with only half the funds Korolev had requested.
I find that with the additional three years, and twice the funding they actually had, and maybe if Korolev had clung onto life a bit longer, then there is a chance - albeit a very slim one - that they could just about squeak through a win there.
i speculated that N1 stay in Original configuration, means Mishin do not mess up the Rocket like OTL and OKB-1 goes for Earth orbit rendezvous.
Wasn't the primary problem with the N-1 that the thirty engines within the rocket provided alternating levels of thrust? Sounds like a major design flaw for a rocket intended to get someone to the Moon.

I find the idea interesting, but, there's two problems:
1 - It's on a streaming service, so can't watch it
2 - The premise has some issues with it. Namely, having Korolev survive his operation, by itself, could never have managed a Soviet Manned Moon Landing.

My guess on the spacewalk between the S-IVB complex and the free-flying Apollo capsule is that the former entered MEO as part of an uncrewed test of an uprated Saturn V deemed too risky to be flown crewed. Since NASA didn't want to spend time and money just for that test, the payload and the S-IVB are tested and functioning, and the astronauts are spacewalking from a capsule launched by a proven Saturn IB. The choice of MEO as a parking orbit or whatever was made in order to prove the capabilities of the uprated Saturn V.
The best reviews a show can hope for are mixed reviews. Also, first seasons are rarely up to snuff.
