series features historical figures

i haven't seen the show, but the article says,

The series features historical figures including Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, Mercury Seven astronaut Deke Slayton, rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, astronaut Sally Ride, NASA administrator Thomas Paine, NASA flight director Gene Kranz, U.S. senators Ted Kennedy and Gary Hart, along with U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.

Could someone please clarify which (if any) of these appearances are cameos,^[1] repurposed historical footage,^[2] or actors playing historical figures?^[3]

Maybe change

The series features historical figures including Apollo 11 astronauts...

to

The series features actors playing (fictionalized versions of) historical figures including Apollo 11 astronauts...

^ famous people playing fictionalized versions of themselves, like real-world members of the US military appear in some episodes of Stargate SG-1
^ George W. Bush and Al Gore appearing in The One
^ Richard Nixon in X-Men: Days of Future Past

All of that information is shown in the cast and characters section, some are played by actors, some appear through archival footage IronMaximus (talk) 16:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also Wubbo Ockels is real character. 1st Dutch astronaut. 190.4.188.54 (talk) 01:50, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Summaries

I notice that — for the entries on season four’s episodes — we only had summaries for the first broadcast episode: but not the more recent two.

Is it possible to correct this?

Cuddy2977 (talk) 13:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The summaries are written by willing volunteers; it's no one person's job to do it. You're more than welcome to do it yourself. Drovethrughosts (talk) 18:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Classified as "hard" sci-fi?

I've just watched the first season so far, and I don't really understand why Wikipedia classifies it as "hard" science-fiction. It gives the appearance of being believable scientifically but there are a lot of scientifically inaccurate things and weird physics/engineering for the sake of drama (thinking of the 9th episode of season 1).

For sure, it's science-fiction and alternate history/uchronia, but "hard" scifi? Mojejette (talk) 21:44, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was changed to "hard" science fiction by an anonymous editor earlier this month, but I've reinstated the original wording. We'd need WP:RS to classify it as hard sci-fi. Drovethrughosts (talk) 11:49, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
