Three episodes of AppleTV+ 'For All Mankind' coming on November 1

This is just MY PERSONAL OPINION. I was seven years old when Sputnik was launched into orbit by the USSR. I was a teenager during the space race in the 1960s. I lived through it all glued to the television screen. I remember it all as if it happened yesterday. So excuse me if I scoff at the “what-if” premise of this offering by Apple. I’m pretty sure we will be treated to a revisionist, politically correct version of American history while they’re at it. The truth is that to this very day the Russians have never landed a Cosmonaut on the moon. Communism did not conquer the world with its superior technology and economic system. Period.

Space: 1999 must have really bothered you.

Well said. And I also wanna talk about something else that everyone here seems too afraid to talk about.

Will Smith never saved us from aliens. It's BS that they would try to trick the American people into believing Independence Day was declared because of him. Alien races did not conquer the world or are not superior as far as their technology. Period.

I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey seven times when it came out. I listened to commentary by Arthur C. Clark during the moon landing. I love good, well thought out SciFi, not the trash that TV was offering and still offers, except for Star Trek of course. Asimov, Clark, and Heinlein are my SciFi gods. Do you grok?
