Question How would write a Space Alternate History?

[Lodkins]

How would write if Apollo didn't get cancelled and kept on going?

I am mostly thinking of maybe an Apollo Lunar Base

You mean something like this?

What part of Apollo would you like to see going: Moon ops or Earth LEO ops? Both? Does STS come into play?

I'd probably start with Vietnam ending by Christmas of '69 to free up some budget. The links Urwumpe posted are helpful to see how the LM and other technology would evolve. [ame="https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5664"]This add-on[/ame] might provide some good visuals also.

Eyes Turned Skywards is an excellent space-focused alternate history write-up. Note that the first post in the thread is a "DBWI" (Double Blind What If), a pretend conversation from the perspective of people in that alternate timeline wondering how our timeline would have gone.
