I really like this show, at times its maybe tried to he too much but overall it's really good. That last episode... really want to know what happens next

12/14/2019 9:15:37 PM

Yeah, that really came out of nowhere. NASA having essentially 4 missions in a row go to shit?

I'm saying the Russians will help out and there will be another time jump at the end of the season

This show is really good, great season finale

I hope apple does a second season

I've been watching and enjoying this, only a few more episodes left but if Apple wants their streaming service to succeed it needs to be more readily available. I have two smart TVs and Apple TV+ isn't available on either of them. I have to watch on my laptop in my living room which I don't care about, but I feel like the average person isn't gonna want to do that.

^I have Apple TV+ on my Firestick and can just plug it into any of my TVs in the house and watch just fine.

also available on roku and some smart tv's

^^^^I watch on my Apple TV device. Hadn't checked availability on my Firesticks but I'm sure its there.

Season 2 has grown on me a lot. Even though they aren't in space too much, theyre doing a good job with these earth-based storylines I think. It does seem like their target audience is older people though...

I'm a big fan of S2.

Also, bummed about that recent death

I fucking LOVE this show. I hope we get at least a season 3

4/21/2021 11:49:38 PM

I like space stuff.

4/22/2021 1:06:50 PM

Season 2 ending was phenomenal. They tease season 3 too, could be the best yet.

Finished S2 last week. Great show and pretty good about being scientifically accurate too. It does make me said that the Apollo program was canceled in 1973 though .

I have started watching this and so far I am enjoying it. The pacing of the first four episodes has been all over the place.

I do like that they aren't creating a bunch of back home sexual drama, it all seems realistic and grounded.

Minus that one plot line, S2 was fantastic

I watched Seasons 1 & 2 over the past couple weeks. I enjoyed it. I'm nostalgic for the glory days of the Space Program when I wasn't even alive. Can't explain it.

It's interesting to see some of the real history mixed in out-of-sequence.

- Reagan elected in 1976 instead of 1980
- There really was an Apollo-Soyuz mission with a handshake in space and an androgynous docking system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo%E2%80%93Soyuz
- The Soviets really did shoot down Korean Air 007
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007
- There really was a Buran shuttle program
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_%28spacecraft%29

The Soviets / Russia are definitely the champs at shooting down commercial flights.

Also new plot lines for real people like Deke Slayton and Sally Ride.

I guess that despite their many other disasters, they caught the O-Ring problem before Challenger blew up in this continuity.

I also guess none of what I previously posted is going to be new info for space nerds or NASA employees like Wraith.

Yo, what's the latest delayed expectation for Artemis crewed moon landing?

3/21/2022 9:46:11 AM

Reagan was elected? THE ACTOR??

3/21/2022 10:52:51 AM

Hard to believe. They should at least try to keep this borderline believable.

3/21/2022 1:16:17 PM

Artemis I just rolled out for wet dress rehearsal. Pictures all over the place on that. I haven't worked SLS since 2018, but I put 8 years of work into it so pretty pumped about it. In terms of next person walking on the moon? That would be Artemis III. 2024 was never going to happen, I think the official expected launch date is now 2025 but even that is optimistic.

Thanks!

June 10 release date.

M-A-R-S!

I really hope they return to more realistic scifi rather than the fever dream that Pathfinder/Buran was

4/13/2022 6:54:32 AM

I hope they don't have any more lame romantic side plots.
