Lunar scenes in season 2 of "For All Mankind" alternate history TV series

Season 2 really kicked up the space race on Lunar surface in For All Mankind alternate history sci-fi TV series exploring the idea of never ending space race if Soviets would have beaten US in the race for the Moon. In season 1, depicting the events in alternate 1969 to 1974, both Soviets and US start building their separate bases at the rim of Shackleton Crater near the lunar South pole. In season 2, depicting the alternate 1983, both bases have been expanded and the superpowers compete for resources on the Lunar surface. The Cold War is very close to becoming a hot one.

The intention of the show is to jump about a decade further into the increasingly diverging reality of the show each season. The final scene of season 2 hints Mars will be the central stage in season 3. We are eagerly waiting to see how the authors of the show will have imagined humanity's journey to Mars in their alternate reality. The filming of season 3 has already started.

  1. I remember reading that the best way to protect against radiation on Moon was to use moon regolith to cover up the moon housing complex. I was expecting a similar setup on this TV show.

  2. Being old enough to remember the first moon landing, this show is so fascinating to me, regardless of the 'alternate history' bend of the show. Makes you really wonder; what if we kept going back there and building a base. Would we already be on Mars by now? 50 years is a long time to not do a whole lot in space, other than low earth orbit and robotic missions to other planets. I doubt that I'll get to ever see a person set foot on Mars, much less a moon base within 20 years. The Bureaucracy just isn't going away. Unless some private sources fund these future projects, it's just not going to happen in my lifetime.
