How this season is filed
The space race if the Soviets landed first and history kept forking. Apple's prestige what-if is ambition porn with engineering homework: missions, marriages, and moonbases aging in public. Watch for the timeline as a character, and for a decade-by-decade swing that treats alternate history as family soap, not a lecture with rockets.
