Before we screened an episode of the new AppleTV+ show 'For All Mankind' at #WIRED25 today, we asked the show's creative team (@RonDMoore Ronald D. Moore, @TallShipProds Maril Davis, @bennedivi Ben Nedivi, and Matt Wolpert) a few space Qs: 1/

If you could live on any planet in our solar system, which one would it be? #WIRED25 2/

Here's what @RonDMoore and @TallShipProds would go with. #WIRED25 3/

True or False: The Apollo 11 guidance computer had less computing power than the original Game Boy. #WIRED25
4/

. @bennedivi and Matt Wolpert say true. #WIRED25 5/

And they're right! The Game Boy had double the RAM and quadruple the processing speed #WIRED25 wired.trib.al/jKpc3wQ 6/

True or False: The moon doesn't rotate, that’s why we can only see one side. #WIRED25 7/

. @bennedivi and Matt Wolpert's guess: True, because of gravity. #WIRED25 8/

The answer is: False. It takes the moon as long to rotate around its axis as it does to make one orbit of the Earth, a phenomenon known as 'tidal locking.' #WIRED25 9/ wired.trib.al/WIEpnpK

What’s one random moon fact you think everyone should know? #WIRED25 10/ 🤔🤔

"Besides that the moon is not made of cheese?" @RonDMoore and @TallShipProds #WIRED25 11/

What is one of the biggest challenges facing astronauts returning to the moon? #WIRED25 12/

Maybe it's choice 4—a combo of choice 1, 2, and 3? @RonDMoore and @TallShipProds #WIRED25 13/

The answer is moon dust, also known as lunar regolith. It’s super fine, sharp like glass, and can bring our machines to a halt. #WIRED25 14/ wired.trib.al/iB9JGzT

That's a wrap! How did you do? #WIRED25
