And take a look at some highlights from the dialogue beneath.<\/p>\n Rafael Jordan on alternate historical past:<\/strong><\/p>\n For as soon as my background as a musician ties into this, and there\u2019s actually nothing they’ll do about this, however because the timelines begin to diverge from actuality, they use plenty of particular songs from sure years to create the temper. And I dig that, but in addition these songs wouldn\u2019t exist any extra. They might be completely different. \u201cCome As You Are\u201d by Nirvana<\/a>. That music wouldn\u2019t exist on this new timeline. It might be barely completely different, as a result of music is a mirrored image of the instances and tradition. \u2026 Within the excellent model of this present they might have had the additional cash to rent bands to make pretend songs within the model of the instances.<\/p>\n John Joseph Adams on the Season 2 finale:<\/strong><\/p>\n What they determine is that they’ll principally cowl each inch of them with duct tape. In order that they principally make spacesuits out of duct tape, as a result of that\u2019s what they’ve, they usually have some sort of face masks that they’ll placed on them. And so they clarify in excruciating element, \u201cAny little bit of your pores and skin that\u2019s uncovered is simply going to balloon.\u201d It sounds utterly terrible, and you may see the angst on their faces because it\u2019s defined what\u2019s going to occur to them. And so they have 15 seconds to get from the place they’re to this management panel on the surface, and it\u2019s so intense. It\u2019s simply unbelievable.<\/p>\n David Barr Kirtley on astronaut Garrett Reisman<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ron Moore calls [Garrett Reisman] and says, \u201cI’ve an concept I\u2019d wish to bounce off you.\u201d In order that they meet up, and Ron Moore says, \u201cI\u2019m fascinated with doing a present about NASA within the \u201970s, or perhaps make it an alternate historical past factor, the place we begin off that approach however then it diverges from precise historical past. One or the opposite.\u201d And Garrett Reisman says, \u201cNicely, once I was in Russia I noticed their lander\u201d\u2014their lunar lander that they constructed that they by no means used. And he\u2019s like, \u201cMost individuals don\u2019t notice how shut the Russians really got here to beating us to the moon.\u201d And they also began speaking about, \u201cWhoa, what if that had occurred? Then this is able to have occurred, and this is able to have occurred.\u201d In order that\u2019s the place the present\u2019s origin was.<\/p>\n Sara Lynn Michener on Apple TV+:<\/strong><\/p>\n I keep in mind being very anxious when this present got here out, as a result of I used to be actually pleading with folks to observe it. As a result of I desperately wished it to have the entire seasons, and I had learn someplace that they’ve an entire deliberate seven-season arc. And I wish to see each little bit of it. So I keep in mind when it got here out I used to be identical to, \u201cWhy am I the one particular person speaking about this present?\u201d \u2026 I feel Apple TV+ is sensible sufficient to take a look at the lengthy sport and say, \u201cHey, if we end this present, we will maintain earning profits off of it in perpetuity,\u201d and that’s such a better approach of doing stuff like this, as a result of they\u2019re conscious reveals undergo ebbs and flows of recognition.<\/p>\n \t\t\tGo Back to Top.
