Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe proposed joint mission between both NASA's Apollo and the Soviet Soyuz is a homage to the Apollo-Soyuz test Project, the first ever joint space mission between two countries which actually took place in July 1975 with NASA's Thomas P. Stafford, Vance D. Brand, Deke Slayton and USSR's Valeri Kubasov and Alexi Leonov. The mission was a cultural success and Stafford and Leonov became friends and remained so until Leonov's death in 2019.
- GoofsIn the show, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment successfully completes the process of ratification as an amendment to the United States Constitution when, on August 24, 1974, Illinois becomes the 37th state to ratify it. Article V of the Constitution requires that an amendment proposed by Congress be ratified by 3/4 of the states. This means that, ever since Hawai'i became the 50th state on August 21, 1959, a successful constitutional amendment requires ratification by 38 rather than 37 states.
