Living out my dream in books. And doing it with 1960s technology. The alternate history is impressively convincing. The science is terrible (differential pressure gauges should show 0 if two hatches have the same pressure on both sides; the moon's gravity is 1/6 Earth's, not 1/16). Luckily this has effectively zero impact on the story, which is more about how this crew navigates all the tensions of the 50s and 60s, plus both a recent and incipient catastrophe. I hope we get to see plenty more of this timeline.
