The technical inaccuracies in FAM drive me absolutely BONKERS - a LEM that launches back & forth to lunar orbit with both stages attached, a shuttle which still appears to be firing its engines after MECO, to name but 2 - but I'll be damned if I didn't watch the whole of both series. I just want the technical advisors taken out and shot with lunar AK-47s.

Love it! Can't wait for the next series.
I'm pretty sure, among all the Speedies, I spotted a Bulova Accutron Astronaut too. Pretty sure it was in the first series with Gordo.

I think Deke Slayton had a GMT. But at this point I can't REALLY remember...but I want to say he did.

He did. The bracelet/watch looked too modern for the time but I can’t trust my eyes when spotting accuracy on a TV haha.

Edit to add- though, I know it would be quite a feat to get period correct pieces for the main cast to wear, so I would not be surprised if they were modern pieces.

It's back for those who are interested.
As of this past Friday, though I have not been able to watch it yet.
