The Nixon guy that is always around is Thomas Paine, who in real life was the NASA Administrator under multiple Republican Presidents. He is portrayed by Dan Donahue.

I'm not sure how realistic it is that they were able to switch their landing site to one near the pole. Landing on the poles is especially hard even when the mission was planned for it from the beginning, and if they entered a roughly equatorial lunar orbit in the first place (which all the real Apollo missions did) it would cost a ton of fuel to change their trajectory which I wouldn't think they'd have the margin for. Great episode, just a little nitpick I have as someone who's played a lot of Kerbal Space Program.

I had never heard of that Virginia Slims ad campaign, so that “You’ve come a long way, baby” line from Ed always went over my head. Thank you for shouting that out - it sent me down a Google rabbit hole, and now I have even more appreciation for the writing on this show. This is part of why I love reaction videos - no matter how many times you’ve watched something, there’s always a good chance that watching it with someone new will unlock fresh details and perspectives that you never would have discovered on your own.

I am sure you are right. Part of the fun of the show is the cavalier "throw caution to the wind, we are pioneers!" attitude, but certainly planning of Apollo landings was incredibly precise, down to every drop of fuel needed for a particular launch.

That's great! I have a rabbit hole habit myself after watching movies or shows that I love, and I also learn a lot of context from others.

That character is more than the caricature he was painted as……. I live for all mankind because they try and humanize everyone from the political administrators to cosmonauts to werner von Braun They also show real characters as less than perfect: The presidents John Glenn NASA itself FBI No character is entirely evil or virtuous

I think I must be pretty old then, because I can still hear the radio/TV jingle for Virginia Slims singing that line ending with, "You've got your own cigarette now baby! You've come a long, long way!"
