The gut punching does not stop this episode either, good lord.

Considering that there is only one more episode left in season one, I'm guessing that Ed, being a relatively generic main protagonist, didn't actually murder the cosmonaut that came looking for help. More likely he doesn't trust him after the earlier tense encounter with the hammer and wants him unconscious (to tie him up without risk, maybe), rather than letting him into the base while he himself has no backup.

Or maybe the events of the previous episode actually made him snap completely, and season two begins with his murder trial!

For All Mankind honestly deserves its own thread. I didn't even notice this one on my first pass searching for the show a while back!

Obviously it's a world where the N1 wasn't a total clusterfuck, but in the real world it was badly underfunded and the chief designer died suddenly a few years before Apollo 11. Without that who knows if they could have made things work. And like I said, the show doesn't say more about the Russians than you would see on American TV at the time so who knows how much earlier their timeline diverged.

By all means it's a smaller leap than literally any "What if the Nazis won WW2" alternate history.

It's been mentioned before in this thread, but Korolev doesn't die after a botched routine surgery in the series' timeline. That seems to be the one big initial point of divergence.
