I get the desire to kind of "expose" the US and its hegemonic aggression, but the level of unbelievability was way too big in those episodes involving arming astronauts. Especially the scene of them shooting the USSR cosmonaut. And then the retaliation of the USSR sending cosmonauts with space AK47 to attack Jamestown, pretty dumb.

it was a little over the top, but it was at least kind of cool.
s3 spoilers below
the show really jumped the shark for me with the nasa terrorist attack and Ed making that impossible landing which all the scientists said was impossible
also I hated that they introduced that Russian guy that got Ed's daughter pregnant only to kill him off. it just seems like they started going for shock value at some point
I’m not that great in physics. But shouldn’t the kickback of one of those rifles make them bounce all over the moon’s surface?
Not that this image doesn’t look awesome of course.
The energy of the recoil is absorbed by the shooter's body mass. The low gravity might make it hard to get good footing and therefore more easy to fall over.

Someone had to kick out the native moon-people. Some thanks would be appreciated rest of Earth.

A majority of Americans opposed the moon landings.

We stopped doing awesome things and that was stupid, and I'm glad we're getting back to it.

That was eight years before they actually happened. In '61, many likely thought it wasn't possible and that it was useless to spend the money trying.

Worst episodes in the show in my opinion.
