For All Mankind alternate timeline explained. All the ripple effect changes to the timeline after the Soviets beat the US to the moon in Season 1. Please subscribe! - http://bit.ly/PetePeppers

For All Mankind is an alternate history story where the details of the space race turned out differently. What would happen if the US moonshot wasn’t good enough, and they lost the race to put the first man on the moon? This video highlights all of the changes that have occurred in the alternate timeline. Series co-creator Ronald D. Moore has said in interviews that the show’s timeline diverged after Sergei Kovalev survived his surgery in 1966. The show’s first season picks up in 1969 when the Soviets land the first human on the Moon two weeks before the US manages to do the same with Apollo 11.

For All Mankind season 2 has just debuted on Apple TV+. The space program focused series jumped ahead all the way to 1983 where the space race with the Soviet Union continued. This video looks at the changes that occur between 1969 and 1982 in the show’s alternate timeline. We look at the changes in the space program, geopolitics, and popular culture. Technology is advancing faster thanks to the space race, and the two countries are focusing most of their efforts there. This has led to the US leaving Vietnam earlier, and the USSR not invading Afghanistan.

For All Mankind season 2 episode 1 explains a lot of what happened during the time jump with an opening montage. We learn that Ronald Regan became president in 1976, and the Soviet hockey team beat the Americans in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Things like these present unique possibilities for ripple effects in the alternate timeline. The US and the USSR are continuing to expand their operations on the moon. They have stopped honoring the Space Treaty that was signed, which may mean that conflict is coming.

Let us know what your theories are for season 2 of For All Mankind, and where you think the series is heading.

This For All Mankind timeline breakdown explains what happened in the first season including the ending. We discuss what happened in the period before season 2 started and what it might mean for the rest of the series.
