If space exploration didn’t happen the way you envisioned it, go back and rewrite the story.  For All Mankind is an incredible new sci-fi series on Apple TV+ created and written by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi. If you have not yet discovered this intense and dramatic show, here’s why it’s worth binge watching immediately- it’s an alternate history depicting "what would have happened” if the global space race never ended after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States.    In this episode of the Casual Space Podcast, Beth asks Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and television producer Ron Moore (Star Trek; Battlestar Galactica and Outlander), about the challenges presented when telling (rewriting) the alternative history of America’s space race, and why this show moved Beth (many times) to tears. When will we see a woman walk on the moon? Can art imitate life to influence our next space race? How in the world did Ron and his team perfectly recreate historic Mission Control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center?  All this and more waiting for your ears to enjoy in this episode of Casual Space!    A moment from the show:            ​Beth: How do you think people will react when we witness a woman walk on the Moon for the first time? Ron: “I think when a woman sets foot on the Moon, that is going to be a real seminal moment. I think it’s going to move people, I think people will all gather around their TV sets just like they did  in 1969 to see it happen… it means something… especially in the context of this event not having happened for so long, that when women do it, it will be a major event!         -Ron Moore from Casual Space Podcast     To watch every episode from every season of For All Mankind, go to: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/for-all-mankind/umc.cmc.6wsi780sz5tdbqcf11k76mkp7    Follow Ron on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/writerRonDMoore or on Twitter at: @RonDMoore
