For All Mankind Plot and Cast
In the finale of For All Mankind Season 2, the conflict between the Americans and Russians reaches a crisis point on Earth and moon. At the Jamestown base, the Marines engage the Russian cosmonauts in a gun fight, leading to the potential meltdown of a nuclear reactor.
To save everyone on the base and prevent the moon from becoming uninhabitable for many years, Gordo and Tracy must fix the problem. They cover themselves in duct tape and run into the harsh environment of the lunar surface. They succeed but lose their lives in the process. In lunar orbit, Ed faces off against Sally over blasting a Russian spacecraft.
In orbit around Earth on Apollo, Danielle goes against orders and docks with the Soyuz. Her handshake with a cosmonaut is broadcast around the globe and inspires President Reagan to make peace with the Russians. Following the emotional funeral of the Stevenses, Margo receives a call from her Soviet counterpart Sergei. But it turns out he is working with intelligence agents to try to turn Margo into an asset for their side.
