Not really. It's a take on what would have happened had the Russians been the first to land on the moon. It's not so much science fiction as it is just good fiction with interesting characters. Space exploration and the battle with Russia to be the first in space, land on the moon, put a base on the moon, etc. is the back drop. It also touches on social issues from time to time.
The Angels did a lot of cool stuff for the 50th in the stadium during games...
Hard to get excited about this one when we don't know if and when we'll be allowed in the stadium again.
