@@thepaintingbanjo8894 it’s like an American speaking to a British person. Different ways of pronunciations. North Korean is much more formal than South Korean since they don’t use borrowed English words. So basically, North Koreans use the old fashioned way of speaking while South Koreans speak like people from the future.
The best part still the reactions of everyone, the astronauts, NASA, the President and the Soviet Premiere, all of them going "you mean...all this...and we got beat...by NORTH FUCKING KOREA?!"
We saw about as much of him as we saw of the Russian detector in season 2, so this is probably setup for his character in season 4. I'm guessing he'll return to Earth with the combined American/Soviet/Helios crew, but it's possible North Korea sends him back to Mars afterwards or he insists on staying behind to protect his landing site or something like that.
I love how they brought back the last scene of the season two finale and connected it all. It came as such a shock to us that it was a North Korean astronaut that made it on Mars first. I guess that’s what they were planning.
IIRC writer didn't decide who's boot is it until later in the production, where they came up with this plot twist that NK beat everyone to the Mars first.
Transleta from italian to english: SPOILER, fa ridere anche la scena dopo, in cui danielle cerca di comunicare con lui tramite i segni, ed appena lui si fida e abbassa l'arma kutnezov, in pieno stile russo, gli sfila il tubo dell'ossigeno!
I think the point of the series is to show us how brilliant humans can be to be first. And how utterly stupid at the same time. They all pushed things further than they knew was wise because of all the national-pride issues. High five the Koreans for surprising everyone or slap them for WTF didn't you tell the Mars crews to go look for your people? it could be just a comm issue. But of course they wouldn't want to admit failure. Better pretend it never happened. facepalm.
honestly the Russian commander's "motherfucker" just felt so perfect for the scene. Like "we did all this work, raced each other, I lost my space craft, we both lost crew members. And we even got in a fist fight trying to make sure one of us was first. And a NORTH KOREAN, beat us by MONTHS!"
Even though it's kinda hard to believe that NK would be able to pull off a mission like that even with a stolen Soyuz design, this story is still super interesting! I wish we had seen more of Lee Jung-Gil in the final.
Hard to believe? In 1995? Hard to believe even the South Koreans and Japanese (assuming they could ever cooperate) could do it. For the North Koreans? Not even good SF.
@@Cruiserfrank Its definitely possible in 95. If North Korea spent all their money on space instead of war. A one way mission while hard, is not impossible.
@@GreenPartyHat Accounting for the fact that this is a wealthy North Korea that still has Soviet backing, meaning the economy wouldn’t have become trapped in the 70s like IRL.
@Quinzerrak now that i think about it, the North Koreans really pushed things this season, first their debris damages Polaris, then they reach Mars First with a Soyuz copy (also although is feasible, they do make a one way trip)
Possibly the most depressing landing on an foreign planet. limited life support, broken communications, dead comrad, and no means of getting of that planet.
I vote for most depressing one being landing on a planet that was supposed to contain the key to saving earth only to find out it's matt daimon an he's evil. So you have to kill him despite the martian being your favorite movie
I’m astounded as to how his oxygen lasted that long, considering the minuscule size of the tiny capsule they arrived in. Was it a suicide mission? That thing was never going to get them back into orbit and fly them home again. Was the intention that they would both die on Mars? Or were they hoping to hitch a ride back to Earth when the Helios arrived? Regardless, I’m going to concede that this IS what North Korea would have indeed done - just to win the accolade of putting the first human on Mars.
@toomanyaccounts Those machines and modern ones as well, have a limited life span. For example the life support on Crew Dragon is only good for about 10 days.
You have to pity the poor guy's fate, but it's right out of the DPRK's playbook to catapult a breathing body at Mars to claim victory of "first" in complete contempt of the challenge being to send someone that can return home. Like sealing a person inside a cast iron sphere and dropping them in the Marianas Trench to be the first human to reach the bottom.
@@floydjohnson7888 It is possible that there will be a return vehicle launched later, like what Robert Zubrin proposed Mars architecture. However, since Korea wants to keep it a secret, or they simply haven't finished it, or both, they cannot launch the return vehicle ahead of manned Mars launch. The idea is similar to Phoenix's plan, reach Mars first, then manufacture enough propellant for the trip home.
@@victor_silva6142 Yes, but it can launch at a later date if astronaut were to stay on Mars for ~2 years. The idea of launching early is that astronaut can do a shorter stay and have an abort option. If those are thrown out of the window, then the return vehicle can be launched after crewed launch.
They got there first. That’s all that matters to them. Bringing their astronauts back isn’t a priority. Quite horrifying to think about. It’s something NK would do if they wanted to win
Same goes to Apollo where NASA dropped the plan of putting a Saturn V on standby as rescue vehicle during lunar mission and ready to go in case of an emergency. That's what cold war and space race is, it's literally a war, minus the firing at each other part, that both sides are willing to win at all cost.
I’m confused tho, how did he survive in that little probe for 2 years? Matt Damon couldn’t survive properly in the Martian despite having a base bigger than James town with far superior 2030s technology. And air, food, water? You can come with whatever excuse but a probe in that size CANNOT supply a man for 2 years. Even the giant base of the Martian was quite laughable for a 1+ year survival on Mars. Ain’t no way the Korean man was farming oxygen and canned food.
@@Nemenis They are consuming food & water and not producing it. To grow something you need a lot more resources. For all we know they slapped an extra storage pod on the end of the capsule that they either jettisoned in space or burned up on reentry to Mars.
Reminds me a lot of an old Ultraman episode. Astronaut gets set up by an unnamed nation to beat the major powers of the world to an unknown planet. They didn't care if he would live or not, and covered the whole thing up. Guy eventually went mad and came back to earth for revenge.
Surprising that the korean language here is done perfectly. Especially with the NK stuff like ending sentences with ‘-우’ or calling each other ‘동무’. The letters on the panel look decent too Maybe the actor is a korean after all
For the Koreans, it was a one-way ticket, that's for sure. This is a Soyuz descent vehicle with an inflatable airlock similar to the block of the Vostok spacecraft (in the universe of the series - rather outdated technologies, purchased or stolen from the USSR). They landed, but would never take off again; the Soyuz lander is not designed for this. They were given pistols simply to shoot themselves when food and oxygen ran out. Well, so as not to die in agony. But the fact is that Lieutenant Colonel Lee Jong Gil was the first man on Mars. End justifies the means.
The parallels between Lee Jung Gill and Danny and Margo and Sergei are quite apparent but different too. Don’t forget about Chekov’s Gun, property of The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that was buried in the Martian sand by Dani and Kuznetsov. I hope HE becomes Chekov’s Gun himself rather than operating the gun on himself, being the “oh we thought he’s dead but he’s still there and he saved Ed or Kelly or her child” guy in Season 6. I hope Danny can still talk with Jimmy and Amber from the little Soyuz descent module. He’s probably set up to redeem himself eventually
I hope for this dude’s sack that he gets the recognition of being the first man on Mars. It would suck if he didn’t. His been through enough garbage. And he lives in North Korea, so his life sucks more.
@@mardkam_triplesh also without the collapse of the USSR they wouldn’t be suffering from the massive famine they were experiencing in the 90s in reality
I hope this opens the door to the international community for Season 4 and what a lot of people were predicting that would occur in Season 3, the introduction of China's influence in the For All Mankind universe
I think with the USSR still going, and now the North Korean space program it is enogh communist countries for now, also, i remember that Turkey had one too so putting an arabian/muslim player in the table will be far more interesting.
So obviously season 4 has came through and no appearance of china yet in any major scale. The reason why there is a lack of China in the show is likely due to Apple's guidelines on how they want to have China portrayed as a nation, as it would potentially do harm to their Chinese market if they portrayed China as a space adversary, hence no china in the show and the likelyhood on why they went with North Korea instead.
It takes far less fuel to land on Mars than it does to land on the Moon. It's only slightly more fuel to get to Mars, but you get a free aerocapture and aerodynamic reentry. The moon requires rocket power to get a captured orbit, then rockets to land. A one way mission to Mars is super easy compared to landing on the moon, especially returning from the moon.
I've read a lot of comments basically saying that North Korea is no way ever going to land on Mars and stuff like that. If you truly want to enjoy alternate timelines you really have to forget everything you know and believe in the possibilities
And North Korea does kinda have a ramshackle space program. In season 2 they said they gave up on ICBM and focused fully on space. Add that to the space race continuing and the Soviet union becoming a massive economy willing to help them it doesn't seem that out there, especially with a simple one way trip
US/USSR: "We need to invent new technologies so our astronauts can survive in the harsh realities of space." DPRK: "Lol, just stick them on a rocket and see what happens."
Astronaut1: let's deploy chute Astronaut2: no, it's too early 5 seconds later Astronaut 2: deploy chute Astronaut1:deployed Astronaut2: we are going too fast!
It's depressing when you realise they never intended on getting them back home. If they lived, then North Korea could have the bragging rights that they put the first man on Mars. If they died, they could cover it up to avoid the alleged humiliation. And we all know Mars is an uninhabited planet, so that gun they sent him with wasn't exactly for self defence.
rushing to send a man to mars for propaganda purpose with no means to return to earth and if the astronaut is lucky enough he can hitch a ride back home with the american or ussr spacecraft is the most outrageous thing north korea can do and i can see how they gonna do this in real life
I don’t think the plan was to hitch a ride at all. He seemed very determined to stay with his capsule and protect it at all costs. If the plan was to hitch a ride back he would have welcomed the Americans and Soviets with open arms. It really was a suicide mission which is totally in line with the government values of North Korea.
Be interesting to see him talk with Ed not only they both have the same experience being the only person on there own bases Ed As the lone American on Jamestown and Lee Jung as the lone Korean on mars and Ed being the only one who knows Korean
Since his crewmate is dead, Jung-Gil have doubled supply to survive until Dani and Kuz found him. Also, thank God Jung-Gil reunited with his wife in 2000s
Man this must suck. You are about to land on Mars which should have been a triumph. But instead your partner is dead and you look out of the window with dread..
I wonder what he was told before he set out? Presumably there was a plan to show the world NK's achievement in the event he landed successfully. Whether or not there was a plan to get him _back_ isn't quite even odds. Best case scenario, he would have been told to establish a base camp and they would have kept sending him canned food until he quietly died up there or the Soviets picked him up.
if I was the north korean I would have looked at this as a blessing to meet other astronauts even if enemies because I would think there might be a chance of rescue thru them and thus back to earth even if that meant prison.
Great Leader : You are going to Mars before anybody gets there.. LJG: How about our return sir? Great Leader: The others coming later will take you back. LJG: Yes.
People argued who got to mars first taking still frames of the video to show who stepped on Mars first. And it didn't matter because neither one of them was on mars first. XD
Its a funny irony that in this timeline, the americans never were first....Outsmarted by the Sowjets in space and on the moon and outsmarted by the North-Koreans at Mars....
As a person of north korean descent, I love how they indeed did put on an effort to give him a North Korean accent. Its pretty decent.
I was wondering!

Astronaut2: we are going too fast!
finally I'm able to understand what they are saying since the Italian version doesn't have the subs, Thanks
best five minutes of the show!
It's depressing when you realise they never intended on getting them back home. If they lived, then North Korea could have the bragging rights that they put the first man on Mars. If they died, they could cover it up to avoid the alleged humiliation. And we all know Mars is an uninhabited planet, so that gun they sent him with wasn't exactly for self defence.
2:45 Puts a very human face on what some figure to be Pyongyang's model citizenry.
Most realistic example of me forget to add parachute in sfs
I liked this actor's character in Dexter as the comedic geeky Masuka. It'll be nice to see him in this dramatic role.
rushing to send a man to mars for propaganda purpose with no means to return to earth and if the astronaut is lucky enough he can hitch a ride back home with the american or ussr spacecraft is the most outrageous thing north korea can do and i can see how they gonna do this in real life
Dunno if that astronaut would still like NK after that tho
See, if he dies on mars then that's not going to be an issue.
I don’t think the plan was to hitch a ride at all. He seemed very determined to stay with his capsule and protect it at all costs. If the plan was to hitch a ride back he would have welcomed the Americans and Soviets with open arms. It really was a suicide mission which is totally in line with the government values of North Korea.
if anyone is wondering what music he was listening to on the casette, it was 아리조나 카우보이
huh i missed this whole scene when i watched the series i loved his and eds talk
Be interesting to see him talk with Ed not only they both have the same experience being the only person on there own bases Ed As the lone American on Jamestown and Lee Jung as the lone Korean on mars and Ed being the only one who knows Korean
the circumstances in mind they can still laugh about it
that’s a mindset i strive for these days
This feels like a fever dream
Since his crewmate is dead, Jung-Gil have doubled supply to survive until Dani and Kuz found him.
Also, thank God Jung-Gil reunited with his wife in 2000s
It makes sense that the North Koreans would do a 1 way mission to Mars just to be able to say they were the first
Man this must suck. You are about to land on Mars which should have been a triumph. But instead your partner is dead and you look out of the window with dread..
That Korean guy acting was so brilliant and funny to watch 😂❤
This was such a good twist. Felt so bad for him.
So North Korea’s plan to land was the same as the Party Horses from Regular Show: crash and hope to survive.
Oye, nunca lo pensé asi
I wonder what he was told before he set out? Presumably there was a plan to show the world NK's achievement in the event he landed successfully. Whether or not there was a plan to get him _back_ isn't quite even odds. Best case scenario, he would have been told to establish a base camp and they would have kept sending him canned food until he quietly died up there or the Soviets picked him up.
there's an entire movie dedicated to a man forgotten in mars i think
Kerbal space program finally became a tv show!
Reminded me of ‘Robinson Crusoe on Mars’….
or The Martian !
@@Brownshoe24 Which itself reminded me of the same movie lol
My kerbal when I don't give enough fuel to return to earth cause I don't know how to do that.
ah season 4 is back :)
Adds a different dimension to it when you hope the principal characters all perish.
0:36 When my lander runs out of fuel while landing on the Mun:
the opening crash sequence is actually just a recording of the standard kerbal operating procedures for a typical landing
The Martian turns into Robinson Crusoe on Mars.
It’s like the Martian! But with less drama…
Nice Airbus sound effects.
What do you use to record these?
"Ah shit, here we go again" - mark watney
if I was the north korean I would have looked at this as a blessing to meet other astronauts even if enemies because I would think there might be a chance of rescue thru them and thus back to earth even if that meant prison.
Imagine when the Korean tells them wich country has already a man on the sun 😂
Hi, I'm Saul Goodman, if you're trapped on a planet, you better call Saul!
Jimmy going to space now that's a story.
>goes to mars
>draws a pepe
>goes insane
He is one of us?
my favorite dumpling of the show
I wanted more with North Korean Matt Damon this season.
They launched him to Mars without any way to return…how brutal.
Love the laugh, when they realize he was first
Bro i just realised it was the same actor as Masuka 😭😭
Great Leader : You are going to Mars before anybody gets there..
LJG: How about our return sir?
Great Leader: The others coming later will take you back.
LJG: Yes.
I want to see Kim reaction 🤔. I think he is probably watching this show.
Bloody hilarious like a jack in the box the Korean pops up out of nowhere.
Wow Rocketman got good .
😂😂😂
😎😉👍
Are they realizing that they got second place
People argued who got to mars first taking still frames of the video to show who stepped on Mars first.
And it didn't matter because neither one of them was on mars first. XD
Danielle Poole is still the first woman on Mars though. So the US got first in something.
Its a funny irony that in this timeline, the americans never were first....Outsmarted by the Sowjets in space and on the moon and outsmarted by the North-Koreans at Mars....
nk did a suicide mission.
That is the strongest crew capsule in the world
How convenient they both landed at the same location on a big planet.
What a unsuspecting plot twist
That one humanoid fuel tank When I takeoff with lander:
