The rules of engagement are changing for the second season of Ronald D. Moore alternative history space race series: because the war is coming to the moon. Maybe moon pirates, too?
Apple just released a new trailer for the second season of For all mankind, the alternative science fiction series that imagine a world where the space race has not ended with nations of the world placing astronauts in orbit and on the moon. Instead, tensions continue to escalate between the U.S. and Russia as the Cold War simmers, bringing this potential for conflict to NASA’s mission to put humanity on the stars.
What this means for our heroic astronauts is that now, alongside the desire to travel and be at the forefront of the space race, they must face the increasingly real prospect of conflict on the moon. NASA should investigate reports that the USSR has positioned an outpost on the Moon that could be capable of launching nuclear missiles against any target on Earth. Which would be bad, of course!
For all mankind returns to Apple TV + on February 19.
