I know “liberals” hate the space program.

They are wrong, but I don’t have time now to examine why. But I really like how in For All Mankind it shows the space program, despite being pretty militaristic still, furthering the goals of progressivism. It even in this alternative timeline indirectly leads to the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. (Which I find fairly likely.)

Whoever wrote this show understands how systems function and that’s so rare and great that even the weaknesses of the work don’t make me love it less.
