My father was a U.S. Navy officer in the Seabees -- navy construction and combat engineers -- during the Second World War in the Pacific. He served with the Marines in lovely South Pacific garden spots like Guadalcanal, Tinian and Saipan. To the day he died, the former lieutenant commander had nothing to express about the Marines except admiration. So, while the Marines may be known for their bravado, their organization earned that right at Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Pelelieu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Chosin, Hue and a dozen other battles with determined enemies.
served with naval infantry in Iraq. Most likely they would have tripped, shot one of the moon naval infantry, the other two fell back yelling about being pinned down, and flew off leaving someone behind. Naval infantry are useless chumps, never accomplished anything in Iraq or A-stan. When they need something really done, you send in the Army. When you need photo ops like the beach landing in Somalia, you send in naval infantry.
Just as bad with space combat, always showing flames and fireballs when there's no atmosphere and thus they'd be small flashes. Unless it's the ship blowing up and expelling debris there shouldn't be any flames, unless they're trying to enhance the drama

@RingSight91 or multiple soyuzs start in short time. Any of that Will give US some warning time. Acording Red Army doctrine, for attack they Will need outnumber USMMC 3 to 1, or 4 to one. That is 18 to 24 RA Moon VDV.

@@daimyogames3245 Well to start of they stole the independence of a lot of countries to start with. They stole the freedom and souls of their own people is another...
When did this episode take place? Apocalypse Now was released in '79, and was based on the Vietnam War. How did the Vietnam War, and cultural attitudes regarding in it, differ between this series' timeline and ours? What I'm wondering is if the movie existed by that point in their timeline, or even if it existed at all? It's interesting to see what pop culture elements (things that happened not directly related to the Cold War or space) they kept the same in this series, many relevant pop culture references were made, but as Apocalypse Now was directly related to Cold War actions, and public perceptions of the Vietnam War, I'd question if that would have been the same.
@@quillmaurer6563 FAMK S2 takes place in 1983. In For All Mankind’s first season, Nixon pulls out in 1970, so there was more than enough time for anti-Vietnam protests in the US (in fact, in the intro for S1, they are showcased). Sci-fi shows & movies are more popular in FAM’s timeline than our own (such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or Star Wars, which are both extremely popular in FAM’s timeline).
_"This mural commemorates the many sacrifices of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. From Lexington and Concord to the shores of Iwo Jima, from the Sea of Tranquility..."_ Now all we need is a Battle of Anchorage and we'd be in the _Fallout_ timeline at this point!
"The capture of the lunar mining site and the placement of the American flag on the Moon means a Space Marine Corps for the next 500 years." -John Lehman, Secretary of the Navy, Reagan Administration, 1983. Apologies to James Forrestal. :)
So since they start singing "Ride of the Valkyries" at 1:09 I suppose that we can assume that _Apocalypse Now_ was still released in theaters in this alternate timeline.
I was pondering that - how did the Vietnam War and the public perception of it play out in this timeline? Many pop culture references imply events (such as movies, songs, etc) not related to space or the Cold War were the same as in our timeline, but as Apocalypse Now was about the Vietnam War, part of the Cold War and surely influenced by public perception regarding it, I'd suspect these things might not have been the same in their world as ours, so Apocalypse Now might not have been made, or might not have been popular.
@@quillmaurer6563 Thanks to the continuation of the Space Race, in this timeline the US and USSR put more energy and funding into that rather than fighting proxy wars on Earth. Vietnam ends way sooner and the Soviets never invade Afghanistan.
@@ryansmith1044 Ah - that's what I suspected based on what I've seen of this timeline. Which brings into question if Apocalypse Now would have been made, or would have been popular. Feels like a potential continuity error.

"Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required."
Reminds me of how the CIA stole a soviet spacecraft at an expo, disassembled it, made blueprints, reassembled it, and returned it before anyone realized it was missing, but had to send someone to the nearest DIY store, because the tools they had brought were in imperial whereas the Russians built their ships in metric.
@@meh8817 it's a weird mix. The upper with fixed carry handle looks like from an A1. The lower is A2 including the rest of the rifle except for the collapsible M4 style stock. Scope is probably a colt 4x20, would make sense at that time period
When the dust settled and revealed them with that smouldering pose, I had chills. It was fucking awesome, never thought it'd be. It was like a super hero landing and looking at the enemy. That definitely sent fear into the soviets.
Just wait till you hear Season 3s stock sounds. Some of them are just straight up menu sounds from Jedi Academy (that game has some very distinctive menu sounds, btw).
US claims the site, dose some mining. Russia sneaks over, packs up the US gear and puts in their own. US shows up with guns to take the site and probably keep the Russian equipment.
@@mattstorm360 I don't think they will want to keep the equipments. They are not compatible with US equipments and the effort to make them compatible may not worth it.
A little technical point: Space suits and helmets are designed to deal with kinematic hazard of micro meteors. While not "indestructible" did anyone consider the energy of the M-16 round to that capability?
I know the alternate timeline has deviated a bit and they're a bit more ahead in somethings now than would really be in the 80's... But that said.... Those are some damn fucking flexible gloves and they can get their digits inside the trigger guard quite comfortably too...
They might have been able to make gloves that weren't as well armored and layered since they've been researching for moon occupation since Jamestown base module was flown in. Possibly just Kevlar layers of cloth only instead of Kevlar, chain mail, and other though fabrics. The sockets for the wrists might be the only thing kept and that was nearly the most expensive aspect of the moon gloves.
@@dragonsword7370 Still 40 years on our current gloves couldn't handle an M16 derivative very easily, even with the bottom of the trigger guard cut out. We literally have enlarged elongated trigger guards for firearms that can be used with giant thick gloves in arctic conditions, they could very easily have done something similar. I just wish they had made some attempt at trying to convey that the weapons had been modified and tweaked for operation on the moon because a white paint job, a little nook cut out of the base of the trigger guard and a collapsible stock hardly cries immersive practicality.
@@anthonynielsen3867 Still continuing to nit-pick I see. No one is disputing the trigger guards have a cut-out. Literally no one. The fact remains, they do still *have* trigger guards. The point was that the gloves that they would be using in this period wouldn't have been able to fit, bottom cut-out or not. Hence the mention that perhaps they had developed thinner more flexible gloves, more so than what we have today.
I'm not usually a fan of the jingoism, hurrah, Marines save the day scenes like this one but the second I heard the drums playing I had a huge grin on my face. Being a fan of The Clash my entire life and knowing their cover of I Fought The Law quite well I started laughing when I heard this combined with the scene of the russkies making a break for it.
These marines could be playing “Ride of the Valkyries” just like Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, yeehawing and naplaming all the way in, in good old American style.
When the Marines disembarked, I started laughing my ass off because when i heard that opening drum roll, i thought for sure that it was gonna be Wipe Out.
What would be epic would be a sci-fi horror/ thriller where a motley crew has to keep a base in operations whilst things for terribly wrong or gets some unwanted visitors, everything matters be it say being over sentimental, waste of valuable resources and going through the phycological aspects of each member, where people steal food, a misjudgment which may have saved their lives in one episode, comes back to haunt them and where bullets ACTUALLY HAVE CONSEQUENCES, such as blowing a hole into the ship or shooting a main power cable, all the while trying to gather resources by mining for iron and the like where drones can be used however to use one or more will drain the bases energy, vs a rover with a solar and a two person seat and a large storage space, but in order to do so will require the use and consumption of food and water including wear and tear on the rover, as well as being able to carry more resources than via a drone
Just needs the Team America theme!! *Turns awsome up to 11!!* Either that, or the final score from Zulu with the singing! *Awsome = 42*!! Cool video either way, cheers.
I don't get why all the hate for the Soviet spacesuits, if anything it would seem the Soviets have found a way to make them more maneuverable and lightweight in comparison to the bulky US ones. It could also indicate resource shortages in the USSR to keep up pace with US production.
its probably just unfamiliarity with Soviet tech and nostalgia towards US since the Space Race heavily biased towards the US because of the Moon Landing. You also pretty much learn nothing about the USSR in school history classes except the fact that they were objectively bad.
If the pathos from this scene could be refueled into a rocket, then it would be possible to fly to Neptune. And of course the Soviet cosmonauts had to dress up in some garbage. In the first season, at least they tried to portray a real Soviet space suit for the moon. I wonder what kind of weapons we will see from the Soviet side? In the USSR, since 1965, assault rifles with recoil damping were developed. Such as AO-38
@RingSight91 It is very important that equipments in space have as little sharp edges as possible because of the risk of them flying around injuring people and ruin equipment. Of course those guns will be secured tightly during transport but you can't be too careful in space.
NASA: nobody can claim the Moon they can only put flags to know which nations were on the Moon the USSR and the USA: now let's conquer the moon they say
The M203 will fly a lot further and flatter, pracitcally turning it into a rocket launcher. Having said that the lack of air to carry the shock wave probably means only shrapnels will have any effect on target. Space vehicles tends to be paper thin to save weight so I suppose the whole environment made it even more effective in some ways.
Ok wait stop... I only was the target practice video... look wait stop.. ok push comes to shove sure m16a2 in space... but who the hell thought the m203 was a good idea!!
Credo che l'incendio sia stato involontario.

Possibly just Kevlar layers of cloth only instead of Kevlar, chain mail, and other though fabrics. The sockets for the wrists might be the only thing kept and that was nearly the most expensive aspect of the moon gloves.
@@dragonsword7370 Still 40 years on our current gloves couldn't handle an M16 derivative very easily, even with the bottom of the trigger guard cut out. We literally have enlarged elongated trigger guards for firearms that can be used with giant thick gloves in arctic conditions, they could very easily have done something similar.
I just wish they had made some attempt at trying to convey that the weapons had been modified and tweaked for operation on the moon because a white paint job, a little nook cut out of the base of the trigger guard and a collapsible stock hardly cries immersive practicality.
if you look in other scenes with them you can see that the trigger guard is actually removed to aid with operating the gun with a pressurized suit on
Indeed, observing closely the scene where they gear up, we can see that the trigger guard is removed.
@@anthonynielsen3867 Still continuing to nit-pick I see. No one is disputing the trigger guards have a cut-out. Literally no one. The fact remains, they do still *have* trigger guards. The point was that the gloves that they would be using in this period wouldn't have been able to fit, bottom cut-out or not. Hence the mention that perhaps they had developed thinner more flexible gloves, more so than what we have today.
2:44 was just hilarious seeing it the first time🤣 no violence at all, just the cosmonauts going "HOLY $#&@ RUN RUN RUN"
2:57 I love the way they walk with the guns mixed with the music, so perfect 😂😂😂
I'm not usually a fan of the jingoism, hurrah, Marines save the day scenes like this one but the second I heard the drums playing I had a huge grin on my face. Being a fan of The Clash my entire life and knowing their cover of I Fought The Law quite well I started laughing when I heard this combined with the scene of the russkies making a break for it.
These marines could be playing “Ride of the Valkyries” just like Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, yeehawing and naplaming all the way in, in good old American style.
I imagine napalm would be way less impressive on the moon, lol
I expect Marines to behave just like that. "From the Halls of Montezuma to the dusty surface of the Moon."
To the Sea of Tranquility
When the Marines disembarked, I started laughing my ass off because when i heard that opening drum roll, i thought for sure that it was gonna be Wipe Out.
What would be epic would be a sci-fi horror/ thriller where a motley crew has to keep a base in operations whilst things for terribly wrong or gets some unwanted visitors, everything matters be it say being over sentimental, waste of valuable resources and going through the phycological aspects of each member, where people steal food, a misjudgment which may have saved their lives in one episode, comes back to haunt them and where bullets ACTUALLY HAVE CONSEQUENCES, such as blowing a hole into the ship or shooting a main power cable, all the while trying to gather resources by mining for iron and the like where drones can be used however to use one or more will drain the bases energy, vs a rover with a solar and a two person seat and a large storage space, but in order to do so will require the use and consumption of food and water including wear and tear on the rover, as well as being able to carry more resources than via a drone
Later on in FAMK a bullet does infact have consequences as it destroys a reactor coolant chip and almost blows up the entire base.
2:58 lol they should use that for a Space Force recruiting advertisement.
Definitely my favorite scene this season so far
Just needs the Team America theme!! *Turns awsome up to 11!!*
Either that, or the final score from Zulu with the singing! *Awsome = 42*!!
Cool video either way, cheers.
I don't get why all the hate for the Soviet spacesuits, if anything it would seem the Soviets have found a way to make them more maneuverable and lightweight in comparison to the bulky US ones. It could also indicate resource shortages in the USSR to keep up pace with US production.
its probably just unfamiliarity with Soviet tech and nostalgia towards US since the Space Race heavily biased towards the US because of the Moon Landing. You also pretty much learn nothing about the USSR in school history classes except the fact that they were objectively bad.
@@417Owsy Well, they were pretty bad… the people weren’t, but the dictators were like cartoon villain evil, or cartoon villain incompetent.
@@417Owsy well, we're not that bad. And they lived well and amicably, until our government betrayed our people for the sake of a green paper.((
@@tolkras8218 Free Ukraine!
@@remogatron1010 They will be free after Russia wins. Freedom to the DPR.
First game of capture the flag on another world
The Clash - I Fought The Law is the song at the end.
I want to see space ak
*Tri poloski intensifies*
It probably is just a normal AK.
@@Wilhelmusrex It's not easy to squat in a spacesuit
an Ak-74 variant with fully modern plastic furniture and painted off white or similar.
@@dragonsword7370 oh yeah my boi
There is a game called boundary
Where there is a skm or ak 74 I think
In space
0:38 I thought my internet disconnected while I was talking on discord 😂
I thought my discord was on
My friend being worried about Starships military applications meanwhile me: MOOOON MARRINNNNES
If the pathos from this scene could be refueled into a rocket, then it would be possible to fly to Neptune. And of course the Soviet cosmonauts had to dress up in some garbage. In the first season, at least they tried to portray a real Soviet space suit for the moon. I wonder what kind of weapons we will see from the Soviet side? In the USSR, since 1965, assault rifles with recoil damping were developed. Such as AO-38
All that blue light on the computers would destroy your eyes.
3:01 me and the boys running after we put a cooking book in the woman’s sport section
0:38 WHO LEFT THE DISCORD CALL MID LANDING!?!?!?
US Marines: **sings**
Russians: Why do I hear boss music?
Ride of the Valkyrie
Tracy IS a badass...
But how bout them engineers with them controls!?
1:09 I start singing with those guy mate hahahaahah
who's with me?
love the discord drop off noise @0:38, definitely messed me up, I was like "wait, I haven't opened discord yet, today" lol
all I can think about now is how no one who wrote this has actually slapped the bottom of a metal mag before. shit can be sharp.
That's why they use altered rifles...
Can but it is actually a very Marine thing to do. We do slap the mag to make sure it's inserted all the way and seated
Lol imagine if he cut his gloves and delayed the mission
@@kalebbruwer Cut resistant gloves and smoothed mags.
@RingSight91 It is very important that equipments in space have as little sharp edges as possible because of the risk of them flying around injuring people and ruin equipment. Of course those guns will be secured tightly during transport but you can't be too careful in space.
*dust kicks up*
*4 heavily armed space marines emerge*
Russians: “understandable, have a nice day”
Song pls
How are they supposed to use their scopes when their big helmets and suits block them from bringing their rifles up to the normal firing position?
I think the stock is modded with something to raise it up higher
1:38
Russian cosmonauts: *why do I hear boss music*
This feels like bad Nickelodeon coming of age movie trailer when you didn't watch the show. lmao
NASA: nobody can claim the Moon they can only put flags to know which nations were on the Moon
the USSR and the USA: now let's conquer the moon they say
It feels so weird watching this knowing what the pilot with the mustache ended up doing in season 3
0:37 Fun fact: In this alternate timeline, Nasa uses Discord for their lunar communications
…BREAKIN’ ROCKS IN THE HOT SUN… I FOUGHT THE LAW AND THE LAW WON!!!🇺🇸🇻🇳
Absolutely perfect song for this scene… just brilliant😏
I'm curious how that M203 is gonna work on the moon..trajectory will be all out of whack
Low gravity and no air resistant would be a less to worry about for it
Flechette rounds would be my guess. They would be murder for a space suit.
The M203 will fly a lot further and flatter, pracitcally turning it into a rocket launcher. Having said that the lack of air to carry the shock wave probably means only shrapnels will have any effect on target. Space vehicles tends to be paper thin to save weight so I suppose the whole environment made it even more effective in some ways.
Meanwhile, Hugo Drax is watching from his second Stealth Space Station and lining up his Big Ass LASER...
This was glorious! How have I not known anything about this show?
0:39 that’s the sound of someone logging off of discord from a voice chat
They do be avenging our dear Tom
Simething about this just makes me chuckle knowing that this is the most American thing I have ever seen.
wow space force doing capture the flag?
1:10 I CAN'T ANYMORE JUST HAHAHAHA
Why is there the sound of someone disconnecting from a discord VC at 0:37 in the video
Well, the next episode scene with the Moon Marines was...on fire
Lmao
Wtf is up with karen bro
@@libertyprime2921 She's always had some issues, not judging, but it feels like her character is getting somewhat messed up too much
Dude....
@@joshuaplotkin8826 You are right, to be fair, after the last episode, i felt some kind of a sudden void
I love how when the cosmonauts see American astronauts with guns, they just nope the fuck out of there
All of a sudden I'm watching a Battlezone(98) TV-Series.
0:38 was it just me who heard the someone get out of call on discord?
Moon Marines, holy fuck how I'm I just hearing about this!
Ok wait stop... I only was the target practice video... look wait stop.. ok push comes to shove sure m16a2 in space... but who the hell thought the m203 was a good idea!!
0:04 so that's why the cosmonaut caught on fire... they have some sort of incendiary round in those. war crimes in space i see.
Credo che l'incendio sia stato involontario.
La pallottola era già calda all'uscita della canna, avrà sviluppato ulteriore calore all'impatto è la tuta era piana di ossigeno puro, si sarebbe incendiata molto facilmente, infatti l'altro, sebbene fosse stato colpito dallo stesso astronauta, non si è incendiato.
No, it was explained in the one of the episodes. The bullet must have caused a spark inside the suit to ignite the oxygen.
@@yallgee ah, Thanks!
