## Notes

1. ↑    ***Newsweek* publication date:** There is a discrepancy with the date of the *Newsweek* edition lying on Deke Slayton's desk.

The edition is dated "July 29, 1969", which is not possible as that episode (1x01) ends on July 20 with Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. It could have been meant to be "June 29" instead of July, however that would be a Sunday. More likely, it should be "June 30", which would correspond with the real life release day of *Newsweek* during that era, Mondays, and would also fit best into the episode's time flow.
In the episode's timeline, Deke's presentation of the article to Ed seemingly happened on July 1, after June 30 (dead of Aleida's mother, seen at 24:32) but before July 2 (14 days to Apollo 11 launch, seen at 34:52 and said at 37:26).
2. ↑ **Patty Doyle death date:** Day 200 of the ASCAN program may be either on Oct. 15 or Oct. 21, depending on what holidays are excluded (national only or also state holidays). Although both would be possible in the time flow of the episode, the former makes a little more sense as it leaves 8 days between Patty's funeral (4 days after her death) and Deke's press conference presenting 4 female astronauts on Oct. 27, instead of only 2.
Date calculations:

	* excluding national holidays
	* excluding also state holidays
3. ↑ There is some discrepancy about **Kelly Baldwin's past**. In reality, that plane accidentW happened on April 4 (or 3 or 5, depending on source) 1975. It seems implausible that the exact same accident with the same type of plane happened at the same date, but 3 years earlier.
Also, as told in 2x06, Ed & Karen saw a report on TV about "Operation Babylift" and the Vietnamese children brought to the US. This happened some months after Shane died in December 1974. This would again imply that "Operation Babylift" happened in 1975, like in reality (although the war was over for 5 years at that time).
4. ↑ **Apollo 22 launch:** Happened off-screen during a timejump.
5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 **Time passing between 2x07 and 2x10:** There are problems with the dates and duration of the events of the last 3 episodes of season 2.
In episode 2x07, Kelly receives a letter from Vietnam which is stamped on September 14, 1983. Assuming that it takes a day or two for it to arrive in Houston, that makes that day approx. Sep 16, +/- 1 day, which also makes sense in the time flow of the last episodes. The date on the Memorial of Gordo and Tracy Stevens in season 3 says they died on September 19. This would mean that everything whithin episodes 2x08 to 2x10 happened during 3-4 days, which is impossible. While everything in 2x10 happened during only a few hours, the events seen in 2x08 and 2x09 take at least 8, more likely up to 12 days.
This is what happens in the show's timeline between September 16 and 19:

	* 207:
		+ Moon Marines take back mining site 357 Bravo.
	* 208:
		+ Soviets delay their Buran launch, wheeling it back into maintenance building for repairs.
		+ Margo asks to contact Sergei to get him and his team back to Houston to finalize the project.
		+ Launch of Columbia (with Gordo), flight to the Moon (~3 days).
		+ Installation of missiles to Pathfinder (decision to do so was made *after* the Columbia launch).
		+ Gordo arrives at Jamestown.
		+ Sergei Nikulov returns from Moscow to Houston. He and Margo still work on the details for Apollo-Soyuz.
		+ Moon Marines shoot 2 cosmonauts. This happens 1 day after Gordo arrived.
	* 209:
		+ After the shooting of the cosmonauts, the Soviets announce to blockade Sea Dragen 17 reaching the Moon.
		+ Soviets launch their Buran shuttle, which docks at MIR for some hours, then heads for the Moon.
		+ After this, Pathfinder launch is moved forward. It will launch 2 days later, together with Sea Dragon.
		+ Soviets come to Jamestown to get their shot comrades.
		+ Sea Dragon 17 & Pathfinder launch and fly to the Moon (~3 days).
		+ Sergei returns to Moscow.
		+ Apollo 75 & Soyuz launch into orbit.
		+ Soviet cosmonauts attack Jamestown.
	* 210:
		+ Sea Dragon & Pathfinder arrive at the Moon. Later, Ed shoots down Sea Dragon.
		+ Jamestown is occupied, battles are fought.
		+ Gordo & Tracy save the base and die.
Even though some of those events happen contemporaneous, the events of 2x08 take at least 4-5 days, and those of 2x09 5-6 days.
Therefore, the death date of Gordo & Tracy on their memorial seems to be wrong.
6. ↑ **Mexican election:** There is a discrepancy between the article shown in the beginning of episode 3x01 and the Apple TV+ Bonus Video covering the years 1984-1992. While in said article the victory of Arnoldo Martínez VerdugoW in Mexico is dated with April 17, 1986, in the bonus video it is said to have happened in 1988. Since the rise of more communist countries was driven by the policy of new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who took office in 1986, just 2 weeks before that article's date, it is most likely that 1988 is the correct year of this event.
7. ↑ **Wedding of Ellen & Pam**: There is some discrepancy with the date shown on the newspaper in the press reel of the first episode of season 4 reporting about the wedding of Ellen and Pam. The newspaper is dated with "Wednesday, June 15, 2001", and the article says they married on Friday. They show an image of the wedding, so this article came out some days after the wedding.
However, 15 June 2001 was not a Wednesday, but a Friday. Therefore, the exact wedding date stays unclear.
8. ↑ ***Houston Sentinel* publication date:** Only a partial date could be seen on screen, however both September and December 7th 2003 fell on a Sunday while November 7th 2003 was on a Friday. Usually, smaller newspapers would not publish a Sunday edition while those with higher circulation would publish a larger edition with additional sections. The newspaper seen on screen was of a typical size and Eli Hobson was reading it in his office which suggests this occured on Friday November 7th, 2003.
