as someone who's looked into FAM and is interested about Spaceflight history and proposals i have a lot of confusion about some things one of them is the timeline according to the show Jamestown had landed in 1973 and it's implied to be after apollo-20 however it doesnt make sense since NASA can do two lunar missions per year even if they got infinite budget it will take at least until 1975 until they would get Jamestown worked out and launched Apollo 11-20 were already schedualed and if even if apollo-20 launches in 1973 it still means that NASA needs to test new technologies like the LSAM life support a new version of the CSM built for extended missions like i dont get it why make an alternate reality show about spaceflight and get all the historical and scientific things wrong you are pushing the greatest most devoted audience you can have

the space race accelerated all the research and development related to the space race

I'm pretty sure this is how it works in real life too lol. we just stopped veeery early into the space race

It does, but EVs and Solar crop up in the 80s far more in the show than real life too. It’s not just for space.
