The Jamestown Crisis | For All Mankind

While never directly addressed in the show, Academy Award winning actress Sally Field did briefly enter the US Space Program as an astronaut on the Pathfinder mission just prior to filming Steel Magnolias. Either that or we made a mistake in this one. Our apologies to Sally Ride.

That being said, Thanks for summing up the show in this bit. I wish I had the time (and money) to watch all the shows I would like to see, and this one just didn't make the list. I will have to find a wiki, though, because I wonder: did the Cuban Missile Crisis not happen in the 'For All Mankind" Universe? This Jamestown Incident seems to be the 'stand in' for that one (almost causing WW3).

Fun facts about the Sea Dragon: it was designed IRL to take advantage of the fact that rocket fuel isn't that expensive compared to all the other expenses that go into a space launch, by being an absolute massive rocket with an engine comparatively cheaper and less efficient than the Saturn 5's F1 (at least ton for ton). It was meant to be launched from the water not to support it's weight and to dampen it's sound so it doesn't destroy itself. It never got off the drawing board IRL because NASA scaled back it's missions after Apollo 11, and they didn't have anything planned that could take advantage of the Sea Dragon's massive payload capacity.

[@arryn786]

No it’s not.

[@Grizabeebles]

I see it more as the power of propaganda harnessed for the good of the many. The Space Race was about developing navigation, surveillance and weapons satellites with global reach. But the U.S. had to _sell_ the space race as a peaceful contest of science and exploration in order to maintain public support. In the end though, inventions like GPS, computers, miniaturized computers and vacuum-sealed food have utterly changed our societies and led to even greater technological breakthroughs. Humans need a great challenge - typically, we find it in war. But we can also find it in searching for a new home.

Astronauts: "We come for Freedom for the USA!" Cosmonauts: "We come for Union for the USSR!" Apollo-Soyuz: "We came in peace, for all mankind."

[@Egilhelmson]

“We came in peace, for all mankind.” was the motto of Apollo 11, well before the meaninglessness of Apollo-Soyuz. Since the RW Soviet Union had abandoned the race, it is possible that the US was, in RW, a bit more altruistic than it might have been in the series

[@yaltschuler]

@@Egilhelmson Yes, but not in the universe of For All Mankind. The second half of your comment explains why you're wrong about the first. There's no way in hell Apollo 11 would have used that motto in the For All Mankind universe. Also, Apollo-Soyuz was not meaningless, it was the literal start of what would eventually become the International Space Station.

[@8749236]

@@yaltschuler Actually, purpose of ISS was primarily used to keep rocket scientists and engineers at Roscosmos employed in order to prevent proliferation of ballistic missile technology. Of course, it has countless many other benefits, but the primary political motivation is to prevent ballistic missile proliferation. Since Congress hates NASA just like when it killed Saturn derived vehicles, tried to kill Space Shuttle (which caused USAF gaining design control over shuttles), and was also hostile towards space station.

[@denverbeek]

@@Egilhelmson The Soviets never "abandoned" the space race. They led the space race until the US moved the goalpost and declared that "going to the moon means we won the space race". Up to that point, the soviets had beat America to the punch on every space milestone. They maintained their own space station until the US' Skylabs burned up in atmosphere, then they collaborated with the rest of the world on the ISS, fielding the crew modules used to ferry astronauts to and from the station.

[@bad74maverick1]

@Denver Beek the Soviets made it to space, but their goal was to the moon same as the US. So lets look at this in context. As for the space race the germans beat both and won when they launched a new v2 from Peenemünde, and became the first known man-made object to reach space, traveling 118 miles on October 3, 1942. The soviets made it to space first and conveyed aspirations to the moon. The soviets won the orbit race with Yuri Gagarin. The US however beat them to the moon. And their first station was a catastrophe. April 19, 1971, the Soviet Union placed into orbit Salyut, the world’s first space station. Salyut hosted the crew of Georgi T. Dobrovolski, Vladislav N. Volkov, and Viktor I. Patsayev. The flight ended tragically when the crew died due to the sudden depressurization of their Soyuz 11 spacecraft shortly before reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. That left the US ahead with the first successful space station, skylab which lasted May 25, 1973 to February 8,1974 kept astronauts 84 days, a record at the time over the soviets and when tests were completed for the Saturn v phase tests it was allowed to fall back to earth. Now if all that plus the moon landing isn't enough to show the US was ahead in most areas of space exploration, the ussr lost cosmonauts in space accidents when the US didn't.

[@JustSumGuy01]

My gripe with this was the ROE in the first incident. You're telling me the US didn't have some form of Russian translator with them or a team member that understands Russian? Or why the Russians don't have some form of English translation on them? Not only did they not comply with the Marines to back off, but they apparently thought the Marines weren't gonna risk shooting them. And then the Russians decided to assault the US base Jamestown to get their man back, which alone could spark WWIII without telling their own government. Both sides were very stupid in how they dealt with the situation.

[@luigicampo4008]

Apparently their radios were on different frequencies.

[@Drace90]

The russians weren't stupid. This was likely the exact result that they wanted. They felt threatened by the Americans militarizing Jamestown, so they looked for a reason to shoot back but not to shoot first. So they put these cosmonauts there to provoke the americans. I don't think the cosmonauts were on board with that, which might be why one of them asked for asylum in the US despite getting shot by an american. Mother Russia literally put him there to die, just so they can save face.

The Cosmonauts are shot as they go to reach for their own book of English phrases, the American soldiers thinking they were reaching for guns. The Americans also had translated phrases, but they were just a handful of phrases, and not sufficient to communicate with the Cosmonauts.

The family drama was great for exploring and critiquing the family dynamics of that time.

I've never had seen a full episode but it completely fascinates me how Nasa would have done this

[@Mediocreinput]

Templin Institute, Can you do video about the Control Franchise? The FBC, The Board, Hiss, Former, Polaris, Darkness, Mold is worth to talk about!

[@CCCW]

This feels so much like one of Stephen Baxter's stories, it's unreal

[@hildenburg5]

This video got me to watch For All Mankind

[@thedoruk6324]

The Templin Institute shall have an absolute blast when the *Atomic Hearth* drops !

[@tinatpasselepoivre]

Although for all mankind is overall a solid '' average '', their is some cool scene here and there. Will definitely check s3 (for free)

[@officialkirbyfan6899]

I dont get how technology advanced so quickly when compared to our universe, i think it did get a bit silly towards the end

[@caad5258]

For all mankind is a great show

[@simply2187]

The best video actually. We need more on For All Manding, it is a cool show.

[@superkartoffel7479]

We need more For All Mankind content!

Why did the space race end with the moon? I wanted it to continue afterwards at the same speed

[@Jack_Simpson]

It is interesting while watching this show to think how close the US and USSR came to wiping each other out if not for a few individuals on both sides.

[@ChrisKunix]

What I found funny was the Astronauts riding a Moon Lander instead of some sort of Rocket Barge like in Killzone. The Intruder is not a good design for flying in the sky for combat but rather as something for Astronauts rather.

[@myownspace9666]

It’s both realism points, and adds to the aesthetic of the show, that both the USA and USSR didn’t build their moon bases for war

[@ChrisKunix]

@@myownspace9666 I wasn't wanting it to be a War vehicle, rather an easy transport vehicle that could reach places more than say a Lunar Rover.

[@Iwanbezbrody]

You should make video about Mars-94 rescue

[@khanhnguyentrieu1752]

I've been watching this show from the beginning and I absolutely love it. The only problem I have with For all mankind is the Baldwin's family drama. I don't understand why the writers had to include it in the show. It's so annoying and disgusting. I watch the show because I want to see what the world would look like (although not really realistic) had the Space race continued, not to see some Korean-style wet drama. I wish that in this third season, the writers will do away with the drama altogether.

[@ramblingrenegade6346]

In Season 1 it was alright, because it actually affected the man on the moon directly, both plotlines were tied together. In Season 2 it just gets messy. Like their daughter discovering her history is an interesting insight on post-Vietnam America but Karen sleeping with her son's best friend was just fucking nasty. The only thing we got out of it was Ed's growth in how he deals with home-life stress, going from imprisoning soviets to kinda working with them

[@pancytryna9378]

I feel bad for Ed, dude really tries to be a good father and husband, but his wife is just unbearable

the thing that i feel bad the most is when these 2 cosmonaut got shot,they tried to get the letter to greet them but was misunderstood

[@arthurbriand2175]

Do you do comics too? If so would you do some content on the über comics series. There are some crazy battle and alternate history in that one.

[@Ocelot835]

If only Gillen had any chances to publish the final issues...

[@arthurbriand2175]

@@Ocelot835 That seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. Maybe once Avatar Press closes down and sells their properties, someone interested might buy it but for now we will stay in this limbo. Just a few issues from the conclusion.
