Are you looking to do further seasons, after these 10 episodes? I don’t know if we’ve actually altered any of that. Honestly, that’s as much as I know. That was beyond our means, so we had to do everything on the set. Do you mind that it deviates, in that sense? I think we’ve cleaned up some archival shots. And also, the other difference for me is that this particular piece is very aspirational. REISMAN: That’s right. GERRY: This is not a unique problem with For All Mankind. /. Christopher MacBride wrote and directed the trippy thriller, which co-stars Hannah Gross, Emory Cohen and Keir Gilchrist. I never ran into barriers. GRIFFIN: There’s always some that will say, “That didn’t really happen,” or “It didn’t look that way, or act that way.” But for the most part, people will understand that this is an alternate history piece. I grew up with the Apollo program, as a kid, and it was really the catalyst for inspiring me to become interested in science fiction, overall.

Everybody was really dedicated to getting it right, which made my job really fun, but that’s hard. It was really neat to study another spacecraft that I never got to fly.

The casting process was thorough and it took quite awhile to find the right balance of people. One was just my own personal interest in and passion for the subject. "Red Moon" "He Built the Saturn V" "Nixon's Women" "Prime Crew" "Home Again" "Hi Bob" "Rupture" "Bent Bird" "A City Upon a Hill" I didn’t really know that they even tried.” He said, Oh, yeah!” I was fascinated with that concept. You play it mysterious and like you’re never quite sure what they’re going to do next. We were constantly fixing things or changing things to make it better. No matter what the alternate history path might take, it’s gonna look very accurate. They have really stiffened that policy. It’s a very positive idea of a better world that could come about from an alternate history piece. MOORE: We do, actually, and we take the opposite approach from what happened, historically.
