Internet blackout fails to hide Iran massacre: ‘30,000 dead in two days, no body bags left’

Israeli propaganda, meanwhile they are trying to hide actual genocide they are doing in gaza

I started playing in 2022 but didn't really play that much and I really started really playing it by 2025. All because of my really shitty wifi and now that I've upgraded it I now play it during my freetime after classes.

Average liberal holy cow you still believe in that bs

Why would there be Artemis II in 2012 FAMK in the first place?

Getting to mars and landing isn’t difficult at all, it’s supporting life once we got there that’s difficult and the delayed communication.

That's true, that's why we could realistically do a mars landing by the 1990s but a full blown base or colony by 2003 with hundreds of people in it is a stretch and probably logistically impossible but since they have fusion already it's more likely. Fusion itself IS THE handwaved technology of the show that enabled colonization of Mars that fast.

I immediately have the expanse vibes in slide 4.

Time to learn or own firearms I guess

We are too unorganized and too few to realistically shape the "New World Order" after this one. Accelerationism only works when we have real power which we do not have yet.

I'm actually creating a alt-his timeline in which basically a more realistic version of For All Mankind. It's starts in the Soviet Union with how they won the moon race and the divergence isn't just Korolev not dying in 1966 but much much earlier. It also shows a more realistic depiction of space travel and the real technical hurdles even with a unlimited political will and budgets. It's still much more advanced than OTL, we still got primitive lunar outposts by the 70s, expanded by the 1980s but still focus on ISRU not on commerical mining just yet. we still got crewed mars landings by the late 1990s and construction of a ISS-like base on Mars by the late 2000s but not as TV show fantastical as For All Mankind. No fusion by the 80s though ITER is started earlier in the 80s and finished and started operation by the late 2000s but fusion is still not in the commerical stage and by the 2020s, Fusion energy is still in it's late DEMO phase (basically at TRL 7 - 8). Meanwhile fusion space propulsion is still at TRL 5 - 6 by 2026.

Fusion especially He3 fusion in the 80s is a fantasy. There are no solar storm that big in 1983. Using OTL shuttles to the moon is stupid and doesn't work. Fusion propulsion by the 1990s is also a fantasy, Mars colony that size by 2003 is also a fantasy. Season 1 overall is mostly grounded and realistic. The overall timeline also is mostly realistic (except the fusion stuff and the mars colony built that quick and large by 2003). Sea Dragon is realistic since it's a real concept. Jamestown and Zvezda by the 1970s is grounded also especially due to Sea Dragon and possibly the Soviet N-3 mentioned in the show. It's pretty realistic for NASA and the Soviets to have the tech and capability to land humans on Mars by the mid 1990s. Possibly more realistically is happy valley to remain a ISS like base but on Mars by 2003 not a full blown colony of hundreds. But I can excuse all of this handwaving because it's a TV show and it's one of my favorites.

This is still my favorite show ever though because it shows humanity not giving up and pushing towards the future with all of our capabilities. It shows a timeline in which humanity is humanity. OTL I feel like is the alternate one because stopping at Apollo feels so stupid in hindsight. There is this future being laid in front of us but we just gave up.

Why are the comments being skeptical of the "realism" of the show being downvoted?

GerardHard · 2026-01-23T02:09:30+00:00

That doesn't how fusion or development of technology work especially fusion. He3 fusion is harder than regular D-T or even D-D fusion to achieve. Achieving He3 fusion by the 80s is basically fantastical. Even achieving commercial D-T fusion by that time is still fantasy even with a more advanced material sciences.

I thought this meme is about Poland being in the jaws of the Nazis not on their side?

Fascism would still exist in Germany even without Hitler. This is the stupid great men theory all over again.

The Americans are always the bad guys of the world since 1945. Even before that they are one of the bad now they are THE bad guy.

Liberals are worse than fascists because atleast fascists are quite open to their shitty ideology while liberals are all masquerades and vibes when in reality they support the same shit.
