For All Mankind Trailer - Apple TV- SPOILER

Yeah I'll probably get that, always nice to have my favourites on physical, that way it's mine forever no matter what shennagins media giants get up to. Hopefully s2 will follow shortly after.
Has it already had a DVD/blu release in the US?
Nope. Expected it three years ago. Nothing.

I agree with your preference for disks. When the internet goes down, and I don't care what anybody says, one of these days it will (even if it's only for a day or two), trillions of files will be lost forever because of our over-reliance on it. Disks give us back up copies, but for some strange reason nobody seems to care about that anymore.
 
I wonder will the US know Margo is alive when the new series starts.

I absolutely love both Margo and Aleida so it will be mad to see them on opposite sides.
Like I speculated earlier, I suspect everyone will think Margo is dead but Aleida will slowly begin to suspect the truth as she sees how the Roscosmos progresses after previous setbacks. And then from there, we'll see a heartbreaking faceoff between the two from afar.

Given that Margo's help to Sergey and Roscomos was purely in the interest of safe and peaceful exploration of space she might not as willing as the soviets want if there's anyhint of things be used for military purposes.

It depends how "real" they want to get - she might not have a choice if the Soviets dangle an extradition in front of her or even threaten to get Sergey.
 
Anyone waiting on the UK blu rays btw, looks like they've been put back a little-
Season 1 is now out November 28th (was gonna be out this Monday coming) and Season 2 on December 26th
 
One of the better designs that may actually fly

I wonder if to solar-sail statites with tethers attached to a body--could be set up in such a way where the cable would form the letter "X" such that---if the the sails tack towards or away from each other---the intersection of the X can raise or be lowered.

If a spin-up flying windlass is put at the intersection with its own tether---then perhaps using pure sunlight a tether can pick an object off a surface with no rocket at all.

That windlass looking like this perhaps?

Well they've both been put back again now to March 27th 2023. And there's never been any artwork or anything. So either a licensing issue or Apple are getting tetchy about making something on their streaming service "non-exclusive."
Think I'll just forget about it till I see more confirmed news.
 
So insane that two North Koreans rode something smaller than the Apollo capsules all the way to Mars. How did food, water, and oxygen even fit?

Easily the weakest, most unbelievable element of For All Mankind so far. It undermines verisimilitude severely.

I was hoping for at least season one for Christmas. Last I checked season one had been bumped to Boxing Day along with season two.
 
I finally got around to watching season 3. I enjoyed it alot but there was a really cool easter egg.

When Aleida is beginning to notice the similarities between the Soviet nuclear engine and the US nuclear engine she says:
"Once is coincidence, twice is happenstance, and the third time its enemy action". This is a quote from the novel Goldfinger by Ian Fleming, and a line I wish they would have left in the movie.

It would have been interesting to show the Koreans using a nuclear-pulse orion dive to get there ahead of the other teams, in the most quick and dirty way possible, but there would have been no hiding them launching nukes astern of their ship.

Even in our own timeline, NK would be the only country I could imagine trying it
