Not much of a stretch to believe the country responsible for MKULTRA would fund a huge and fake propaganda piece against the USSR.
That said, it would have been pretty silly to waste as much money as we did in the rocket program if the goal was to fake it all along. Plus, the Soviets weren’t exactly knocking on the moon’s door.
- ghaff 3y agoFor anyone with Apple TV+, For All Mankind is a great series predicated on the idea that the Soviet N1 rocket was successful.
- zgluck 3y agoI've ultimately become disappointed with For All Mankind. It has its moments of greatness but literally two thirds of it is anti-exploratory, anti-science angst bullshit. I guess it's a a lot cheaper to film that stuff.
- ghaff 3y agoI guess I haven't seen that at all. Certainly "For All Mankind" is presumably intended ironically as it very deliberately plays up the Cold War vibe but that seems understandable given the premise of the series. Of course, we can't really know what would have happened in this scenario but I wouldn't expect a great atmosphere of cooperation between the superpowers.
