Al said that the past resets each time he goes back. He also said he went back and stayed long enough to develop cancer in 1962. When the series starts Al knows that he is not going to achieve his goal of saving JFK so he recruits Jake to try. Why can’t Al then go back to the past, reset, and then leave the past before the cancer starts in 1962?
