Apple releases trailer for season 2 of 'For All Mankind'
Apple has released a trailer for the second season of the Apple TV show 'For All Mankind,' teasing an escalation in the tensions between the United States and Russia on the surface of the Moon.
Following an initial promotional tour of the lunar base that will be seen in the second season, Apple has finally published a trailer for the show. Posted to IMDB, the video offers a minute-long glimpse of what will take place in the next batch of episodes that will be released.
Set to the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)," the montage of clips takes the viewer through scenes including mission control and NASA employees on Earth, as well as some from the Moon. On the satellite, people move through the lunar base, while clips from the surface show astronauts from both the US and Russia.
There are increased tensions between the two countries, hinted at by the voiceover "The greatest threat the United States faces, is posed by the Soviet Union." This is followed by shots of astronauts putting ammunition into guns, and a call to raise the threat level to Defcon 3.
The trailer does not offer a date for when the second series will go live on Apple TV+, but given the presence of a trailer and the earlier set tour, this information may be made available soon.
The alternate-reality history drama, which depicts Russia winning the space race to land on the moon first, was considered one of Apple TV+'s most captivating shows at the service's launch. Apple renewed the show for a second season weeks before the official launch of Apple TV+, indicating Apple believed it had considerable promise among the rest of the service's launch roster.

Hope companies are more willing to invested in science fiction series than dragon series.
Apple has all the analytics. If See had the user engagement they hoped for then it will see Season 2.
"Seeson" 2
The new montage for season 2 promo is the Jamestown Tour and is set on Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Takin's Care of Business.
anyway, it will be interesting to see how they rewrite the politics of the time. Will Reagan (with Thatcher and the Pope) set up the collapse of the Soviet Union, or will it be the other way around? Would we not all wear side lacing pointy shoes to nightclubs to listen to Blue Monday, Love Cats and yes Eurythmics and The Human League?
Or as a by product of an aggressive expansion into space, if Reagan still prevails, would America be more nationalistic or even authoritarian? Or similar to what happened in our timeline, with a slide into complacency and the ascent of the political class?
Fukuyama was wrong of course: History did not end.
does this mean the space force gets renamed the space navy?
Thank you!
Edit: I also consulted with someone who would know on whether astronauts can use firearms in space. Apparently a cartridge will have enough of its own gases to work.
The three tricks would be how to manage the recoil in low gravity, what happens to shells as they are ejected by the breech spring mechanism (they would hang around annoyingly about the breech, and you), and even a minor nick in your suit could be fatal..
But a fu...ng stupid thing to do. All projectiles will go in to orbit or leave moons gravity, if not hitting anything. Think about the complications of that.
*That's a joke, people.
