Soviet Cosmonaut Helps American Astronaut - For All Mankind

[@jeddyhi]

This is a fictional account of the space race portrayed as if the Russians reached the moon first. The technology is fictional as well. That was not the LEM that lift off the moon. It is a fictional LSAM (Lunar Surface Access Module) that is why the entire thing lifted off and did not detach from the landing legs. Designed to be reusable on the surface of the moon.

[@bobblum5973]

Does the fact that there's a Cosmonaut walking around on the Moon give anyone a clue that this is fiction, not history or current reality? Learn about the histories of the actual space programs of the US, USSR, Russia and other countries so you will better understand what differences exist in this fictional storyline.

[@bobblum5973]

@Mike DeMarco It sounds like we're close in age. I don't recall the Gemini missions, but I built plastic model kits of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft, along with fictional craft as well. I kind of recall the Apollo 1 fire, but not a lot of details from when it happened. Definitely recall Apollo 7 onwards, and met Jim Lovell at a book signing for "Lost Moon", later renamed "Apollo 13" after the movie came out. My autographed copy of it is one of my proudest possessions. I do get disheartened by the lack of enthusiasm for spaceflights, Flat Earth / Moon Landing Hoax believers, etc. I feel Buzz Aldrin was justified in punching that one Flat Earther (Bart Sibrel?) who called him a liar and a thief after Buzz refused to swear on a Bible that he'd walked on the Moon. Wrong thing to ask someone who took communion right after landing there. There's just too much denial of science and acceptance of false facts these days.

Unless the differences are of belief, and they are too fundamental to reconcile. I mean, if the Third Reich were still around, and was still as genocidal as it was in the 1940s, I think most of us would say it's not morally tenable to set aside those difference to cooperate with it in the exploration and settlement of space (or anything else).

TO ANYONE COMMENTING ON THIS CLIP THAT HAS NOT WATCHED THE EPISODE.... You should go watch it then come back before making comments about love and peace and flowers and how we are all just humans together in space and such..... without watching the show you have NO clue just how much context there is before this scene and just what the motives actually are of the two men in this scene. Bellow is a comment I made about another clip from this episode.... LOTS of comments here on this scene. For anyone who for some crazy reason hasn't watched this show..... Go watch it. For All Mankind is on Apple Tv. Season one is 10 episodes and is a really good binge watch. Season two coming soon so get busy before it gets here. lol Now, some context..... SPOILER ALERT The Soviet (cold war adversary) cosmonaut does NOT die for anyone wanting the spoiler. The American has been on the station WAY longer then planned because of technical problems and his two previous companions left without him because one was already mentally cracking up from the long extended stay with little to do mentally. The Bob Newhart show video tape with six episodes had even died from repeated use. He has been staying alone specifically to protect the station from the Soviets instead of going home when the others did. His son has died and now all he has is this job that kept him away from his son in the first place. His son specifically asked why he couldn't just come home even though his replacement was late in arriving. Soviets have been spying on them and even used a message about his brain dead son to cause him further stress and anxiety.... which worked. lol Soviet used their American mine lift to spy in their American mine then escaped (he thought) by using implied threat of force with the mini moon pix axe. Cosmonaut did, in the end, help the American but it was in his self interest to convince the American to let him live and hopefully get access to the American station finally if things went wrong with the crazy rendezvous plan. It was NOT all happy international love and flowers on the Soviets part toward the American. This is a VERY good show and this a VERY good, climatic episode of the show. LOTS and LOTS of context this little clip cant come close to capturing.

[@aidensindia8914]

It is a damn shame tho, I understand it’s a drama but it could have been really cool to see a show tackle the divide between the west and east in a more nuanced way. Realistically if someone is stuck on the moon you are not just going to let them die “because they believe a different ideology than you” you are going to try and help them get home.

[@gibu002]

@@aidensindia8914 I can't emphasize enough that you should watch the show if you haven't yet. I don't want to spoil anything for you if you haven't but the Soviets were an equal player in what got things to this point in the story and in helping shape what the astronauts frame of mind was in this scene. If you want the full spoiler read my first comment in full but I recommend watching the season yourself for the full buildup experience. It's hard not to sympathize with and understand an astronaut that went through all he did for all the reasons that he did. As for the show. Shows in general now are just not long enough for anything really anymore. In this case with only 10 episodes a season the focus is on what if Women were more involved in a space race that didn't stop when the key adversary failed. Season 2 picks it up and really makes you think a lot about how different that future we are now living in might have look with just a couple key things going differently in the past. For what it has time to tell, this show does it VERY well. If you haven't watched I recommend at least just a one month subscription to binge watch it all. This show alone is worth a one month subscription price. Personally, I dropped my subscription between seasons one and two. lol

The Soviet Orlan EVA suit looks very good 👍

[@spaghettimeatballs8040]

This doesn't really happen in Kerbal Space Program, maybe because I send them to the Mun at the speed of Mach Jesus

[@veritateseducational217]

SEASON 2 SPOILERS!!! And to think “Ivan” put a hidden microphone in the base, how sad.

[@noflightcert]

I knew something was up when you could see Jamestown's reflection in his visor

[@hazardous458]

It’s not personal. Ivan helping Ed was personal but him planting the bug was a political reason.

[@phineasjuniper]

@@hazardous458 Agreed, I think Ivan was sincere when helping Baldwin, but he still had a mission no matter what he felt about the Astronaut.

[@creativegamer_03]

Comrade helps comrade.

[@user-xl4ym5ro9i]

Вот это настоящая дружба советским союзом и США 👍👍👍👍

[@randomamerican5065]

As a comrade my self I want to say we didn’t screw with the James town base, we only had a massive super Soviet party inside of it. Why? Cause it’s not ours so we didn’t have to clean up once the party was over.

[@jitterz0135]

So is that when the Russians planted the bug?

[@theleanmonster3735]

Hell yeah, space is cool, America is cool, Russia is cool, friendship is cool, this show is cool

[@Agrothewarhorse]

At the end of the day they were just two human beings far from home.

[@Galaxius2117]

Hopefully this is how SpaceX and Blue Origin will treat each other when they meet at the Moon.

[@bluntcabbage6042]

Anything short of complete cooperation between the two would be met with extreme criticism. This hypothetical between a US astronaut and a USSR cosmonaut is very different as the two people's home countries are extremely hostile towards each other; they are technically enemies. Blue Origin and SpaceX astronauts would cooperate because they are both from the United States and therefore have absolutely no reason to be hostile.

[@Daneelro]

I doubt Musk will ever send a manned rocket to land on another solar system object on his own, and Blue Origin looks even weaker. SpaceX's Starship is a dangerous design that should never get human rating and Musk likes to spend public money (the Falcon 9 is cheap for private customers because the government contracts are overpriced). I even have doubts whether the Starship lunar landing ships SpaceX got a NASA contract for will ever work as intended. We should return to space exploration with proper public funding and real oversight, instead of letting it be the plaything of whimsical billionaires drunk on the feedback of yes-men employees and cult-like social media followers while riding roughshod over labour and the environment.

[@Quad373]

Anyone else thinking about how the regolith kicked up would've absolutely torn the cosmonaut to shreds. Like you saw it flying towards him but then it just stopped lmao. The engine firing would've shot those small particles faster than a bullet at him.

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

Like a sand blaster....except that regolith is so fine that can't see it blasting any holes in the suit though, because the damage would be uniform across the entire surface of the suit. So the damage would likely be comprehensive, but only superficial, like using some 1000 grit sandpaper over the entire front of the suit.(For how long, I'm not sure) ...but if there isn't enough energy in those particles to completely scrub away or "dissolve" the entire front of the suit (which seems very unlikely), then again, I personally doubt it wouldn't put any holes in it either due to the uniformity of the damage).. You may not be able to see through your helmet's glass anymore though .....well, unless that regolith is 5000grit or more. Then it would probably make it even clearer lol.

[@emix1010]

I thought about that too. Then I noticed he doesn’t see the flame from the engines as they ignite and blast the dust. The dust shoots from under the horizon of the hill, each bit of grit in a straight line, above him. And it thins out a lot with distance. I’d say it was well done.

[@richardmillhousenixon]

No it wouldn't have. Think of the engine like a grenade. After a certain distance, there would only be a minute chance of being hit by shrapnel, and even if you were it would only be one or two pieces. Now, replace that shrapnel with sand and after a certain distance you would only be hit by a very small amount of sand.

[@Quad373]

@@richardmillhousenixon There's no air resistance. The plume from the engines propel rocks and gravel-sized particles up to 10 to 100 meters per second. The finer sand like particles shooting out upwards of 1000 meters per second. even though a very "small amount of sand" would hit his body, it'd be traveling at speeds close to the speed of many bullets.

[@Quad373]

@@ChadDidNothingWrong My idea is based on the absolute speed that he'd be hit with from those particles. It makes sense that they may get reflected or absorbed but traveling at 100-1000 meters per second, I'd assume it wouldn't turn out too well for him.

Fuck conspiracy theories

I wish the space race continued, if only so we could have space travel by now.

We have space travel.

[@eastavewrestlingclub7572]

Then the Cosmonaut went and planted a listening device that gave the Soviets audio access to Jamestown Base for ten years. One of the best plot twists on the show.

The last thing you want to do is to rewrite history to suit narratives that you think are more convenient. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

[@Irshu]

And then goes to bug Jamestown base and spy on every communication with the lunar base for the next 10 years...

[@stahlhelm5755]

Red is very sus at 2:40

[@adriancastaneda9088]

That's not how the LEM works. The landing legs stayed on the moon.

[@Bellabong]

That's not the LM you're familliar with though.

[@myownspace9666]

This is the fictional LSAM, used to ferry astronauts from the CSM, to Jamestown. It’s designed to be a reusable upgrade from the previous LEM iteration.

[@Quad373]

Its not the LEM. Its a advanced version. you can see that if you watch the show. It has 4 engines on it.

[@Donleecartoons]

Even if I didn't know this was an alternative-history work of fiction, I would have figured it out by the use of a slightly modified NASA Worm logo and the fact that the LSAM looks only superficially like the LEM. Or if I read the other comments that already spelled it out.

ah yes, that little turn around to view the station with slight foreboding music. Nice reference to a later plot in Season 2.
