    We made it to the 21st century. Soon we'll be comparing the alternate timeline to current events. It's interesting to see how the nostalgia effect lessens in each one of these that I do. We're getting into things I remember living through. Let me know what your favorite changes have been and how you see things playing out in the alternate history.

      Given that we are in 2003, I wonder if a Columbia parallel will happen.
      I wonder if Ed smoking pot making the decriminalization/legalization of it come faster.
      Since the internet isn’t being used commercially, I wonder what the lack of social media indicates.
      Given that we see space has an effect on culture, I wonder if all of these shows have a “deep space Homer” episode where the wacky shenanigans lead to the main character going into space or to the moon. Now that it’s literally plausible.
      I wonder if we’ll get lunar Olympics at some point.
      With DOMA being completely replaced with the inclusion act, like gay rights would be unrecognizable. It was a touchy subject that influenced the 04 election.
      Honestly I wonder if enough time and resource changes means there’s no Great Recession. There were so many factors leading up to it, I do wonder if it could even happen.

      I was about to post the same thing. My guess is the narrator did not live through The late 1990s. The coding issue was a major issue and a lot of work was done to reprogram Software and also to update software so we did not have the issues. Early programmers who had retired years before were brought back in to work in order to fix old code. A lot of money was spent to avert the issues and a lot of computers were updated. Sadly, a lot of programmers lost their jobs after the turn of the century because that project was no longer necessary. Businesses had spent money on new computers. New software and in the aftermath had no need to continue spending that kind of money. In a male dominated field, Suddenly young men who had invested their education in that field found themselves without jobs, or stuck with very low paying jobs compared to what they had formerly earned. More women had entered into the field of accounting while young men had entered into computer sciences.

      While y2k and Covid have similarities, there is major differences like many solutions turned out to be pr measures (social distancing and masks). and others were shortsighted plans which did more harm than good( lockdowns which did massive economic damage and harm to the mental health of many, along with how much they worked is still debated). Also many similarities are the public overreacting early on, and over hype of how bad it could be.

    You can see how the lack of (real) competition makes a system non-optimized, and reaching a better state for it slow, with space exploration. In the TV series "For All Mankind", the competition in the space industry is real, and this has led the system to improve very quickly, continuously reaching new goals (The Moon, then a base on it, then Mars, and a base on this, and now the Asteroid).

    • @Wustenfuchs109
      @Wustenfuchs109 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      The competition stopped in Season 1 basically. All subsequent competitions were forced and unrealistic. Soviets first on the Moon. US got first permanent base on the Moon. Season 2 saw no competition between the parties nor a real reason for exponential growth of the space sector - it just happened. How? Don't ask, it just did.
      Season 3 was race to Mars in 1990's. Why? Again, no reason. And all of a sudden, a private company joined in... because reasons. In our timeline SpaceX is funded primarily because it develops infrastructure for our Earthly needs (orbital infrastructure, cheaper satellites etc.). In FAM a guy without any space program just decides "We are going to Mars!". Why? How's that good for your company? How did investors of the energy company let you move your focus like that? What does the FOR PROFIT company gain from that except fame?
      Again, don't ask, we are all explorers, we want to push further. Except, that's not how reality and economy work. You need a damn good reason to fund such projects, and in their world, where the Cold War is still going on, one could argue that military sector is still spending more and more - because none of those new technologies are cheap - they are in fact very expensive compared to our timeline.
      The problem with the series progressions is that they don't give a realistic reason for all that progress.
      Base on the Moon? Sure, it was to one-up the Soviets and their Moon landing. Made sense in the Cold War.
      Expansion of Jamestown, why? What drove the massive (10-fold) expansion of US base on the Moon? We were never given the reason nor did we see it.
      Race to Mars, why? Getting there eventually, yes (as we are doing now, slowly), but why rush it? What is the drive, the reason behind it?
      And finally, expanding the Mars base into a full town within a decade?! There is absolutely no reason to do that and spend trillions of $ for a pointless project like that in that timeline.
      I get the rule of cool - but in no way did the series provide a realistic space sector expansion, grounded in sense and purpose. There is competition for competition's sake and growth/expansion for its own sake.

      *Season 3 was race to Mars in 1990's. Why? Again, no reason.*
      You could argue the same about the race to space, the moon, ... in the past. It didn't have any tangeable benefits at the time (besides the technology itself), but it still happened. It makes sense that if there is still competition between the US and USSR on the spacefront, that after a moon base, mars would follow, unless there was a reason that the space race would stop.
      As for the private company, we have that now also with SpaceX. The general idea is that the "first to mars" run is meant to show the world (and new potential investors) that you have the knowhow and expertise to act in space/prestige and can even outcompete established superpowers, with the long term goal being a space industry (resources from the moon/mars, asteroids, ...)
      SpaceX's main goal always has been mars, everything so far is just to build up to that. Yes, they did build out the regular space market first as a base, which was needed because what they needed didn't exist. Initially Musk just wanted to use an existing rocket, but that wasn't possible.
      *What does the FOR PROFIT company gain from that except fame?*
      Fame for new investors, new technology, long term new resource acquisition, space tourism longterm, ... The entire point of this run is longterm gain. In the series it is even clearly shown that not getting there first but a few days later was bad.
      *Expansion of Jamestown, why? What drove the massive (10-fold) expansion of US base on the Moon?*
      It clearly was the resources on the moon (constantly hinted at) and also likely because the soviets did that same. The moon is also seen as a platform towards mars.
      *expanding the Mars base into a full town within a decade?! There is absolutely no reason to do that and spend trillions of $ for a pointless project like that in that timeline.*
      The longterm reason is clearly asteroid mining. Mars is better positioned than earth to do so. It also only happened due to improved technology, probably lowering the costs due to what it would take now.

      Not really. It is now, and will be for some time, but always. Humans are much more efficient than robots and more importantly - robots are not flexible. They are utterly incapable of adjusting to a changing situation which is basically a standard in space. Maintenance, control etc. you need humans on site. You might not need them in suits all the time, but them being in the base on site, controlling the whole process, yes. And at a certain point in technological development, a price of a human would be lower than a price of a robot that can do what a human can. We are cheap and easy to produce, relatively speaking. Robots require quite a lot of rare elements, high tech and still need humans next to them.
      Robots will definitely have a role to play in mining in space, but for any job that requires constant adjustments, improvisations, maintenance etc. you will never be able to replace humans - until you develop a true AI and perfect androids.
      Robots are great for jobs with patterns. Mining in space is not one of those jobs.

    I've got a good idea as to where things go from there(the end of this video). Cashmere cavity experiments produce a real life "Warp bubble" the size of a hydrogen atom that fit the exact description of Alcubierre Warp Drive in November of 2002 and the experiment is repeated 4 times in the year 2003. And then controlled experiments with atom sized Warp bubbles get started in the year 2006. And then in August of the year 2012, it is discovered that is has an accumulating effect when a tiny amount of antimatter is added to it. Fast forward to the year 2024 and professor Alcubierre wins the nobel prize in physics for His original 1994 Warp Drive equation and the first experimental Warp Drive spacecraft the size of a pinhead is launched and tracked by remote control.

      If we're going Star Trek with the serial numbers filed off, then this timeline sounds reasonable:
      In 2024, a manned mission to Europa is performed (this happens in this year in star trek discovery, and it makes even more sense here than in star trek)
      In the 30s, the warp drive tests are expanded and tests are done with tiny probes, too small for aliens to detect
      In the late 30s/early 40s, there are plans to expand it again and do manned test flights
      in the 40s/50s, WW3, disrupts their plans
      In the late 50s/early 60s, survivors from the original team come together to re-start their project
      By 2070 they manage to scrounge up enough resources to do 1 test flight, with a warp drive attached to a small manned spacecraft (I wouldn't be surprised if the manned capsule is a repurposed manned military orbital drop ship or something)
      They are secretly helped by humans from the future (say, the crew of the "Galactic Federation" starship SS Endeavour or something), they don't know this
      They do their flight, the test pilot becomes the first FTL human
      This attracts attention from the alien Hephaestians, who come down and visit the humans. They help fix the devastation, but the price is that the planet becomes a Hephaestian vassal state for almost a century.

The amount of power the laser required was far in excess of that fusion reaction. Those laser induced fusion reactions are how we test thermonuclear weapons ie the fusion part of hydrogen bombs. And that laser was built back in the 90s so its incredibly inefficient

The alternate history theme of the show is what makes it appealing of where the Soviet Union beats the US to go to the moon in the 60s and avoiding its inevitable collapse in the early 90s. However the show just time jump way too quickly I would love to see the show explore this aspect instead of focusing on more dramas.

    So a thing I've been thinking about is, its mentioned that there's no internet in this timeline. But, before the internet, there were still dial-in BBS systems that you connected to peer-to-peer with a modem. The ubiquitous 300 baud RS232 modems used for this OTL were invented in the early 1960s prior to the POD. BBSes *definitely* exist in the FAM timeline. But, with no internet to usurp it in the 90s, BBS culture would persist.
    With a bigger BBS culture, the tech would improve (video phone bandwidth requirements would allow dial-up modems to get way faster than OTL), and this probably would develop into an internet of sorts.

    Nutshell explained on the 2000 Florida voting issue. "Hanging chads" on voting cards. Back before digital voting. You would essentially "punch out" the chad of which president you wanted to select.
    One of the manufacturers of the voting cards, had an issue on some florida batches where it was very easy to jostle out all the chads. As a result, during the manual recounts (multiple), voting cards where getting so jostled around that it was being left up to the discretion of the counter in what the voters "intended" vote was.
    I cant remember the exact numbers, but every recount resulted in different numbers then the one before. To such a degree that shannigaians were likely to be afoot.
    Going from 45k behind to 25k behind, to 15k behind, to 5k behind. . . Raises the question of how the previous re-counts were so far off.
    Accepted assumption, that as voting cards were counted and recounted and recounted, more and more chads were being jostled out of position and being left up to the counters interpretation.

      Don't appear to have happened.
      Which makes sense for a couple reasons.
      First, with a still stable USSR continuing to expand its influence, US foreign policy in the region looks a lot different than it did in our timeline as the USSR's sphere of influence frayed and eventually imploded.
      Second, the oil industry is gutted. The biggest source of wealth and influence in the region is gone (hence the Saudi royal family being removed), as is a great deal of foreign interest and involvement.
      Overall, I would expect the Middle East of FAM to look more like our timeline did in the 60's and 70's - not necessarily good, or less volatile than our timeline, but with fewer rogue non-state actors - and to play a relatively small role in international politics.

Canada is due to have their own astronaut aboard NASA's Artemis II flyby of the Moon, and another Canadian astronaut will fly on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft to the ISS. The For All Mankind timeline is markedly different in that Canada has apparently gone isolationist with regards to space, which makes me wonder what their priority in space is in that TL.
      China going their own way is also alternate, but maybe not too surprising considering both the USA and USSR are in the Mars-7 Alliance. The PRC always had their own differences with the USSR before its collapse and had an informal rapprochement with the USA in the latter part of the Cold War. Seeing the two of them buddy up, and seeing neighboring North Korea of all countries land the first man on Mars and then enter the Mars-7 with them, probably has them a bit shamefaced and looking to show the world what they can do on their own.

    I know alternate history is supposed to be fiction, but it is still based on reasonable assumptions on how history would have unfolded. Much of alternative 1969-2002 is highly unrealistic based on reality. Some obvious flaws:
    1969: contrary to winding down the Vietnam war, Nixon widened the war, which made it virtually impossible to end before 1973, its real ending (on the U.S. side at least.) America's defeat added to the cultural revolution and financial/industrial decline wouldn't have changed what actually happened.
    The Space Race: FAM overestimates the appeal of space after the Moon landing, no matter who did it first. By the last landing in 1972, space was already a big yawn, largely because there was nothing there but rocks.
    1972: Watergate would not have knocked off Nixon in 1972, least of all by Ted Kennedy. It took 2 years of dogged investigation by journalists and prosecutors to do that. (Even without Chappaquiddick, Ted at the time was a human train wreck about to happen. If anything, the incident sobered him up and made him a better senator.) If security guard Frank Wills hadn't discovered the tape on the door at DNC hq, Nixon would have been in office till 1977 and possibly succeeded by John Connally, his favorite.
    Completely ignored is the rise of the Moral Majority in the late 70s, which lurched the GOP far right, where it has only increased ever since. FAM's GOP looks more left-centrist Democratic than Republican.
    These four events alone completely wipe out FAM's rather ridiculous scenario.

      I suspect Apple didn't want China being depicted in any way negatively. It was easy to throw in Canada in the mix so it just single out China. It like when RedDawn (2012) was made the movie studio had China as the invaders, but changed it last minute to North Korea as not not piss off their investors.

    What's with these shows in the modern times and they all have these forced gay plotlines? Like whooptie doo, that character is gay just because the writers had to include someone that is gay for the sake of being gay. It gets annoying.

    Ellen was far from the first series with an openly gay character... "Love, Sidney" (1981) beat it by a decade and a half.
    Also, "Brothers" (1985), wherein one of the three leads was not only out, but ended up in a happily ever after relationship.

      She was the first lead character on a network series. From what I read Brothers was passed on by all the networks because of the homosexuality.

      We got it syndicated on a local broadcast station here in Toronto (CITY-TV)...
      Cliff in Brothers was one third of the leads. Even presuming by lead you meant title character...well again, Sidney Shorr by 15 years.
      Ellen may be more notable for being an openly gay actor playing an openly gay character though. Thinking back, lesbians were all the rage on tv that year... Roseanne hyped a back shot of her getting a smooch while Deep Space 9 leaned right into Dax getting thirsty with a lover from a previous life...

      @@duckyj7241I'd never heard of Love, Sidney but it doesn't sound like the lead character was out or openly gay. It's splitting hairs and either way, I was just referencing the articles I read about her coming out episode that all touted her as the first openly gay lead character on a network show.

      If you count "Three's Company from the late 70s and early 80s John Ritter's character Jack Tripper was pretending to be gay so he could live with two beautiful women.

      @@PetePeppers1 Sidney was closeted/discreet within the show, but it was made quite clear to the audience. It's also kind of significant in that it was one of the few non flouncy portrayals of a gay man. Very worth checking out as Tony Randall shines here.
      It may be hair splitting, but I'll take that over erasure anyday. (Even if the source and cause of said erasure was Ellen and her publicist).
      Anyway, my goal was to add to the topic's breadth... we good. Loving your analysis of FAM.
