        Pfffft even in the trailer the US looks like a bunch of psychos, like we're all supposed to assume they're justified in bringing assault rifles to space. This shit is made for babies!

        That looks like Starship Troopers level irony, Americans bringing their modded M-16s to the moon to shoot Cosmonauts.

    Wow, you aren't kidding, that was terrible. The fact the uploader described it as "gripping" makes it all the worse.

    Is this show actually about Astronauts and Cosmonauts having a war on the Moon or something?

      Its about the Soviet lunar program working - their N1 booster was underfunded, rushed, and had an unfortunate habit of exploding on the launch pad - and landing a man so Nixon responds by opening the astronaut corps to women and sending a woman to the moon, and then they build a base.

          The actual plan was to build an armed base if they got there first. It would have been armed with davy crockett nuclear recoilless rifles.
