        Yeah. It's the alt history show where the space race never ended and the USSR was beating us to every milestone including landing people on the moon.

          Isn't it only the first man and woman to the moon? I watched season 1 and it was really interesting, but then it fell of hard once the state department got their hands on the show. It flew off the rails it seems, and nothing seemed to ever go anywhere.

          North Korea won the mars race too! China is conspicuously absent from the show.

            Eh, I could see it honestly. In a world where the Soviet Union became increasingly stronger, the Chinese gambit of allying to the United States would most likely fail and they would either remain a “colonial holding” like India today, or sputter along as a regional power at best; lagging decades behind China’s real world development.

            North Korea is a bit silly though, unless they somehow managed to reunify, but then, still silly.

              To be fair, the industrial power of the DPRK before the dissolution of the Soviet blok was only really rivaled by Japan in EAsia. Total capeshit but it's less impossible than it'd seem on it's face.
