The other day ended the second season of the series "For All Mankind", which tells the story of an alternative world, in which Alexei Leonov became the first person on the Moon on June 29, 1969. Because of this, the United States decided to expand (and not curtail, as in our reality) the manned lunar program. The action of the second season takes place in 1983 - on the moon there are two large bases, American and Soviet, with a constant contingent of fifty people, space shuttles are flying with might and main, the Cold War is at its next peak, but, at the same time, eight years later than our reality, the idea arises to conduct the Soyuz-Apollo mission.

I also did not like the concept "The world can be saved only by direct violation of instructions and orders." It is amazing that on both sides of the ocean (I also criticized for this, for example, "Salyut-7" ) choose this path.
The second season ends with an unknown boot stepping proudly on the surface of Mars in 1995. Well, at least something positive. The third season, judging by open information, will be filmed, and it may be released in the summer of 2022.
