44:20 -- that man who is supposed to be a senior naval officer/admiral congratulating Tom Hanks is Jim Lovell -- the Jim Lovell.
He was a captain. They offered to make him an admiral, but he said he’d retired from the Navy as a captain, so he’d play a captain.
Marilyn Lovell was also in the stands in front of Kathleen Quinlan during the launch sequence.
it's very well-made, but I still don't wanna watch it
It says a lot about a movie based on actual events if knowing the outcome doesn't do much to dispel the tension of the ending. This one just full-on delivers. About the only unbelievable part was the conflict. That was all added for dramatic effect. If you listen to the communications of the actual mission, you will be bored to tears.
The Captain who shakes Lovell's hand on the carrier is played by the real Jim Lovell.
The good news: The scene where Marilyn Lovell lost her wedding ring in the hotel shower actually happened, but she eventually got it back.
Thank you! Every time i see this, it hurts my heart.
@@lianabaddley8217 If I recall the hotel staff jumped into action on this according to an interview I watched of the Lovells.
@@dpiland2 wow! I can imagine her emotions going from OMG NO!! To. OMG! Thank you so much! One extreme to another.
They were talking about the replacing the water treatment plant on the news recently, and the man they were interviewing said someone's fake teeth came through the system one day, and that person actually came down to get them. :)
You two are my favorite at reactions. Always the best films, no nonsense and you always have a great discussion after the film. And you appreciate the work and magic of film. Perfection!
My uncle was one of the electrical engineers working for Grumman to help get Apollo 13 back down to earth. I learned most of what I know about how to work with electricity from him.
Must really sucked to have work for an organization full of liars and con men. A nice little compartmentalized work environment. Mankind has not and will not ever leave the upper stratosphere. ruclips.net/video/ghWfhMDRIqU/видео.html&ab_channel=EricDubay best of lucky young man, may you be guided to the truth and not fall under your preconceptions
My cousin worked there too.
"I've tasted the moon and I've tasted the clouds" is probably the most poetic comment give a lever heard regarding this film.
I'm trying to rationalize if it was poetic; I've listened to astronauts and one in particular described space in taste/smell. What was his response? "Gun powder." Ryl freaks me out, dude. She's so smart it's scary.
@@Charles-yt5ve I had come to make that same comment, that the moon smells like gunpowder. Look at microscopic images of the lunar regolith and it looks like shards of broken glass, not anything you want to be breathing, its also incredibly abrasive to anything it gets on.
If you listen to the actual recording of the real astronauts from Apollo 13, they never sound upset or scared. They're all cool as a cucumber throughout the whole ordeal. They had to add drama between the astronauts to make the movie more compelling, because, in real life, you don't get to be an astronaut without being cool under pressure.
yup. Was just coming to make the same comment.
Ya, I found the audio when they had to do that engine burn on the way back from the moon to the earth. It didn’t sound like a big ordeal at all. That’s ok. I understand they want to make a movie entertaining. The real thing was still dangerous and an incredible feat of human collaboration.
@@petemiller2920 100%
The oxygen is used in a chemical reaction, this makes fresh air, heat, which turns into energy, fuel, and fresh water. Loosing that one thing crippled the craft damn near completely. That’s why power became an issue from just loosing oxygen.
The reason he only figure the oxygen numbers for two people is based off of the craft they were in. If things had went normally, Jack would have stayed on the orbiter and the other two guys would have took the lander down. Everything they had rehearsed was based on just two people in the lander. It was math he was used to doing for their supply depletion rates.
Every astronaut back then was given a Corvette Stingray from Chevy. That's why they all drive those cars.
They weren't "given" Corvettes. General Motors gave the astronauts a generous 1-dollar a year lease on GM vehicles, and most astronauts chose the Corvette.
@@fixfalcon2628 exactly. Frank Borman for instance chose a pickup truck (forgot what specific make/model) and even John Glenn chose a minivan if i recall correctly. Jim Lovell did have a corvette except it was blue instead of red as depicted in this movie.
Forrest and Lt. Dan, a winning combination that’ll make any movie better.
It all actually happened. Love the channel.
I love this channel, I love these two, and I love their reactions. And I lived through the 70s and 80s. This is almost the perfect movie.
I take it you also lived through the 90's and 2000's? 😉
When they returned, the Grumman company, which built the lunar module, sent a joke towing bill to North American Rockwell, which built the command module.
Jim Lovell is my Grandpa .... lol I love watching ppl react to this movie . I'm an astrophysicist, I worked at Nasa and now I'm in Geneva Switzerland working in the LHC .. just waiting on my turn to go up. !!
That's awesome! I have a signed copy of Lost Moon.
I don’t like how overly dramatic some parts are. In the actual tapes he sounds matter of fact and cool as a cucumber
@mem1701movies I'm usually pretty critical of dramatizing historical events but even I would say an hour and a half of the crew being robotic wouldn't make for an amazing movie like this was.
Woah. What a cool in comments discovery! Hope you get your eventual journey! And that its awesome!
So you are an astrophysicist who worked at NASA? Do all astrophysicists have workout pic for their profile and make comments to reactors like you do? Lol😅😅
Kevin Bacon definitely does not want to be remembered as the Hollow Man.
29:28 This argument scene never happened. It was purely fabricated Hollywood melodrama to grab the audiences emotions. The funny thing is that Tom Hanks' "not going to bounce off the walls for ten minutes and end up right back here with the same problems" speech is almost a verbatim quote of the real Jim Lovell's explanation of why the real astronauts were able to maintain their composure and professionalism despite the enormous danger and stress of the situation.
It's annoying that the studio put the fake melodrama in there, but I understand why would think that they had to do it. I just saw a RUclipsr react to the movie "The Longest Day" which was a pretty accurate account of the D-Day invasion, and she said that she couldn't connect with it because it didn't have the tear jerking emotionalism she was expecting. Some audiences really do need those histrionics to manipulate their feelings.
makes for a better movie.
damn good flick. I remember getting teary eyed in the theater when he was imagining himself on the moon.
One of my ALL TIME FAVS!!!! 😊❤ Happy to watch with y’all! 😊
The LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) was only designed for two people, since the pilot was intended to stay in the command module orbiting the Moon. Thus it is understandable when Fred Haise accidentally calculated the carbon dioxide levels based on two people instead of three. A fundamental mistake that I could see myself making.
41:27 lol...I love yall even more cause u just referenced DBZ lol
There were several great movies about the early space program.
"The right stuff" starts at the very beginning.
It's long but it's well worth watching.
"Hidden figures" is really really good as well.
When you consider what they had to work with back then and what they accomplished....
They did almost all the math by pencil and paper.
The best computers we do big they filled warehouses and has less ability than a pocket calculator.
Love the great reactions ladies. Keep up the great work
Hidden Figures is a must see!
24:16 "i've tasted the moon before." -Ryl
tell us more.
26:15 that’s exactly right. It was meant to be that Ken Mattingly was here and not on the ship. Hes the only person who could have been in the simulator and worked all the scenarios and helped to get them home. 😊
Fun fact "consolation prize"...since they did not go into orbit around the Moon on their free return trajectory, Apollo 13 traveled a bit further away from Earth than all of the other flights to the Moon. So to this day, Lovell, Haise, and Swigert hold the record for the farthest distance from Earth people have ever traveled.
Also., a terrific quote I encountered recently has to do with Apollo 13..."NASA is absolutely not superstitious, but you can bet they will never launch anything numbered "13" ever again." Not sure if that is a real quote...but it does not seem that NASA has sent anything into space with the number 13 on it ever since, though commercial satellite companies have.
We have gone much farther than that... they just don't tell is about the SSP. where 500-700 billion magically disappears into every year. Crazy shit is going on but the general public doesn't need to know because there are too many idiots and freaks running around that would cause so, so, so many problems and it would become a huge mess.
that's interesting, and buildings don't have a 13th floor either, they usually skip that number and I think even around the world they do it
When they first started space shuttle flights they were numbered in order, they changed the system after 9, at least partially to avoid having STS-13. One of the space shuttle test flights did use 13 but that was only in atmosphere
I have seen the relevant clip of Lovell. I believe it's in the DVD extras of the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon. It's true. He said that.
36:59 Most people only see the early astronauts as pilots. These guys were extremely educated many with Masters degrees and PhDs in various sciences and engineering.
So when Swigert says “I can add” that was a serious over simplification. He was also one of the engineers designing systems for the flight.
For Apollo 12, NASA hyped a new color TV camera which broke, when it was inadvertently pointed toward the Sun,vwhile it was being set up on the Moon, which ended up making the TV coverage dissapointing to the TV networks & their audience. That likely helped lead the TV networks to not initially cover Apollo 13.
All the Hanks movies I've seen, plus his TV show, bosom buddies, ( which u should watch a few episodes here!)I still like his first big movie best, Bachelor Party! Also for the earliest of space flight movies, watch The Right Stuff! Remember in Forrest Gump, Dan tells Forrest Gump if ur ever a shrimp boat captain I'll be an astronaut! Then Dan's legs were made of Space Shuttle material! And then they did this movie!😮😮😮. U can go to NASA, and out front is the last known Saturn 5 rocket! Yes its real. I've been to nasa, i was a contractor for certain computer gear. I got to go places and see things behind the scenes at NASA, most will never see! Bill Paxton was in 5 James Cameron movies, and the VERY first person Arnold kills in, Terminator!😮😮😮. He is the ONLY actor ever, to be killed by a Terminator predator and AlienThe operator in the glasses is the director's brother! The preacher is their dad! The silver haired guy on the pickup boat is the real Jim! There was actually many more problems that happened they didnt film because of time, money, and too unbelievable for the public! More irony, the flight director a small part in top gun Maverick, and in the first movie about space, the right stuff! A mid eighties car had more computing power than the entire control room!😮😮😮. Tom also did a great documentary on space missions called, To the Moon and Back! The most amazing part of all the pre shuttle missions is the heat shield. Only a couple inches thick, its 15,000 degrees on one side, room temp on the other! In those days, the chemicals to make it had to be measured mixed and poured into honeycomb receptacles, by hand!😮😮😮Zero gravity is done by putting all the sets and equipment in usually a c5A starlifter plane, flying it extremely high, then flying downward at about a 30-45 degree angle. As it dives, everything and everyone inside"floats" downward, inside the plane! So obviously they did multiple takes and shots, with the cast and crew!! Other great space movies, mostly true science are 2001,2010, the right stuff, the Martian, interstellar, gravity, to the earth and back, arrival, 1st man, Apollo 11, hidden figures, October sky, and a few others. 2001 and 2010 have alien stuff, which I tried to avoid. I wanted more real type or True story movies. Pro tips, they had no hand held calculators yet! A mid 80s car had more computer memory, power, and capabilities, than the entire control room!😮😮😮My dad used to take me to NASA alot when I was a kid. One thing u noticed down in the city there big time...if u were an astronaut or had anything to do with operations or flight control, they all drove Corvettes!
I’ve always thought it must have been fate that got Ken grounded. He knew both spacecraft like the back of his hand. If he hadn’t been there to figure out the reentry procedure, who knows if Jack could have?
Quite a few people,it coming from Mattingly was just the movie simplifying things, there was a team of astronauts and engineers working on that problem, although he was one of them
Jack Swigert also knew the spacecraft like the back of his hand. He helped design it. The movie badly minimized his qualifications and his skill. If the roles had been reversed, and Mattingly had been in Space and Jack on the ground, he could have worked out the problems just as well.
@@llanitedave Actually, Swigert didn't help design the Command Module. But, he did write the manual for the emergency procedures. So, he did know the systems intimately.
Ken Mattingly wasn't the only perfectionist in the astronaut corp. All of them were serious Type A personalities.
The movie greatly simplified things, and had a lot of consolidation characters, where one person stood for many people. Having said that, for a Hollyweird movie, this one has a much higher ratio of actual real facts than most movies.
Enjoyed your reaction. One day, somebody on YT will do a reaction to "The Right Stuff" or just anything different instead of the usual 100 movies that everybody reacts to. It's getting harder to care about reactions any more. Anyway, glad you enjoyed this movie. I guess.
The movie was all true, based on Jim Lovell's book "Lost Moon". They exaggerated some scenes for the movie, like the bickering between Jack S and Fred H, but just minor tweaks. All the dangers and issues they had to overcome were all true. You can't really rehearse for an explosion that knocks out your oxygen supply on the way to the Moon.
Outstanding Ladies 😊 thanks for sharing with us😊👍✌️🇺🇸
The most accurate space film ever made ... right down to the physics ..and the exact dialog ....great movie ..other movies are cringe but this one is a masterpiece...they got soo lucky
The "Apollo 11" documentary that came out around 2019 was pretty good, as was the "From the Earth to the Moon" TV mini-series.
@paulsander5433 yup iv seen them all .... they had less than a 1% chance of making it back home . Cause of wat u do for a living I nitpick space movies lol I can't help it .. but down to the minutely small detail they nailed it ...physics and all .
Excellent movie!! Great reaction!! ❤😊
One thing that they got really wrong was the conflict between the three astronauts. There were no raised voices. There was no arguing. They were all intensely focused and professional. Not one man lost his cool in any way.
iirc Ron Howard even kind of apologized and admitted that it was just for dramatic tension.
The wives were taught how to answer the media by NASA. That’s why they added that “proud, happy, and thrilled” part. The DVD for this has two great extra audio tracks. One is Ron Howard, the director, giving a lot of technical details about how it was made. The lady playing Jim’s mom in the nursing home is Ron Howard’s mom. She’s has the best line in the movie about her Jimmy landing a washing machine. The guy that says the IRS is “no joke, they’ll jump on ya”, he’s Ron’s brother.
The other audio track in Jim Lovell himself and his wife. They both add so much to the story. Hands down my favorite DVD ever.
Gene Kranz, the real guy being played by Ed Harris, the one wearing the vest, wrote a book, I’ve got the audio version, about his time at NASA. It’s called “Failure is not an option”, just like the line in the movie. From the book he also adds so many details to this, and many other missions.
I tear up when she says he could land a washing machine.
Ron Howard's father played the priest who comforted Marilyn Lovell during the reentry.
The naval officer who shook Tom Hanks' hand and shoulder on the deck of the aircraft carrier at the end during Tom's narration was played by Jim Lovell.
fun watch guys thank you i enjoyed much virtual hug
yes true story - and unusually accurate for a movie that isnt a documentary. the martian is another good astronaut movie about keeping the faith and not giving up
ron howard the director mother played the mother of of lovett , also i might add that american citizens still have to pay taxes although they are in another country ,if they are staying more than a normal holiday .
I still have my doubts about armstrong etc got to the moon and landed in 1969 , i do believe they did after , but my senses do not believe they did in 69 that is my belief , take it or leave it .
"We've never lost an American in space, we're not going to on my watch!" Sometimes leaders need to take charge, stop collaborating & set the tone. I love that moment in the movie.
We never lost an American in space. The Challenger in 1986 blew up and Columbia blew up on re-entry in 2001, but it was in earth orbit. This is as close as you can get to that. I swear, if 1 more screw fell off they were done for.
We lost the Event Horizon and its brave crew in space.
Both of the shuttle disasters were after Apollo 13, so as of that time... but you are correct, neither of those disasters were in earth atmosphere.
@@vly9257 Well you're right about being after Apollo 13, but you said not in earth atmosphere. Yes they were. There's videos out there if you don't believe me
haha, it wasn't the clap, just a urinary tract infection
Hello Jyn & Ryl!😊 Almost everything in the film really happened. The party at the beginning of the film was fictional and used to establish the characters. Yes, Jack was not at fault for stirring the tanks. Ken Mattingly was exposed to German Measles, but he never contracted the illness. He passed away in 2023. Jim Lovell is still alive at 96 years old, and Fred Haise is currently 90 years old. Great reactions to this very well made true story!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
@mikebrown7799 Armstrong and Aldrin did indeed sit with Blanche Lovell during the re-entry. Not only is this reported in the book, there's a picture of the three of them together in Lovell's study.
@@terencemccormick8178 Yes, you are correct. The article I read was in error. However, there were 3 other less known astronauts that also did visit. They were Pete Conrad, Rusty Schweickart, and Dave Scott.😉
It's only dark on the other side for this as the landing was scheduled for the moons "morning" as the best time between hot and cold extremes. The moon has day and night just like earth... it just takes 28 earth days.
Yes this actually happened
I’d suggest y’all watch First Man, The Right Stuff, and The Astronaut’s Wives Club if you’re interested in this history.
I remember all these events. We were pretty sad when Apollo 1 burned up, then Apollo 8 was orbiting the moon on Christmas Day 1968 & Jim Lovell read the Scripture to us from space, then real excited by the Apollo 11 landing and then the anxiety Apollo 13 caused, three days of waiting.
Of mice and man, if you havent seen with Gary Sinise....very good movie
THANK YOU so much for finally showing us what you say at the beggining of every reaction. I have always wondered, but never asked. This is a great movie. Virtual hug.
This is one of the most accurate portrayals of a true story ever filmed. The only real error was the guys arguing up there, which never happened.
In the same genre, I recommend “The Right Stuff” (1983). It's even better.
“I’ve tasted the moon. I’ve tasted the clouds.” I believe her.
Re Taste of the Moon: The Moon is volcanic rock that was originally a part of Earth, astronauts have on many occasions dug holes on the surface of the Moon only to find Earth-typical orange-colored porous lava rock. So technically if you were to lick any common lava stone, that's what the moon tastes like 🌙🍽
There's more to it than that. Most of the lunar dust is razor sharp fragments of volcanic glass, and because there's no water or weathering on the Moon, all the particles are covered with electrical charges due to exposure to the solar wind. All the astronauts who landed on the Moon reported that the dust smelled like gunpowder when the returned to the lunar module.
44:38 We are going back to the moon!! The Artemis program is set to do a lunar orbit next fall. I hope to live to see Americans land on the moon again.
Mattingly (Gary Sinise) was never said to have the Measels -- he was _exposed_ to someone that had them, so he was taken off the mission as a precautionary measure. The other two had gotten them already so they were immune
Yep. Space (I dunno about the Moon, but Space) tastes like a mix of BBQ, diesel, and gunpowder. If you seal a container in hard vacuum beyond the atmosphere, that's how the tank smells once you open it. Astronauts coming back from spacewalks have said the same of airlocks.
I don't know how it smells or tastes, but the surface regolith on the Moon is eroded by the Sun into a thick layer of dust which has a high static charge. But it isn't weathered smooth, and the static makes it stick to everything. Because it's microscopically jagged, it ruins seals and joints and gets into the suits and all over the interior of the ship. It itches and causes rashes, too. I hear it's like a glitter spill, the way you can never get rid of it, clings everywhere.
It also tears up your lung tissues if you breathe it in and you can't get it out.
@@paulsander5433 Oh, yeah, I'd bet, worse than black lung.
Fred Haise had a urinary tract infection that turned into a kidney infection. He was extremely sick during the mission.
23:20 Apollo 13 to this day holds the record for the furthest distance from the earth of any manned mission. On the far side of the moon, out of radio contact, they were the most alone anyone has ever been.
Have you seen "Hidden Figures" yet..... you need to see it now that you have seen this movie. Its very important part of the whole story.
29:57 "I only figured it for two people."
"Why?"
Oh, don't be so defensive, Ryl. This is how the Apollo spacecraft is designed.
There's the command-service module which, in this case, is referred to as the _Odyssey._ That was designed to do the heavy lifting to transport the astronauts from the Earth to the Moon and back. Swigert is the pilot for _that_ module.
The _Odyssey_ is designed to connect with the noticeably smaller lunar module, here known as the _Aquarius,_ which was designed to be completely inactive until they reached the Moon. Then the lunar-module pilot (Haise) and the mission commander (Lovell) were expected to float down the tunnel into the _Aquarius,_ seal the tunnel, power up the lunar module, disconnect from the _Odyssey_ and travel to and from the surface of the Moon, just the two of them, leaving the command-service module in orbit around the Moon with Swigert on board.
Basically, the plan was drawn up with the expectation to be able to continue relying on the scrubbers on board the _Odyssey._ The plan originally called for the scrubbers on the _Aquarius_ to scrub the CO2 waste from an atmosphere breathed by _two_ people, not three. Swigert was not expected to be there. That's the reason.
This quote is not completely relevant, but goes to show the mentality and fearlessness of test pilots/astronauts. Paraphrased:"When trouble hits, a pilot says to himself I've got 10 seconds to eject...a test pilot says I've got 10 seconds to land this son of a bitch."
31:13 Usually, people feel an inclination to protect Blanch Lovell (Jim's mother) from bad news, completely losing sight of the fact that hers is the generation that went toe to toe with the Axis. She can probably take bad news better than anyone else in the room.

Other tom Hanks and ron howard (the director) team-ups I want you to check out are the da Vinci Code and angels & Demons, adaptations of bestselling novels in the 2000s, thrillers having to do with ancient world history that you'll enjoy, a more mature tone than the movie National Treasure you saw last year
Don't forget "Splash". 🙂
I vividly remember being glued to a radio or TV during these events. I lived in NC while the rest of my Family lived in Miami. My sister-in-law and her husband lived in Cocoa Beach, 1/2 hour from the Cape. Every time we would visit family I would stop to tour the Cape I was fascinated with space travel.❤😊
44:22 This officer that Tom Hanks is shaking hands with, in this moment, is the real life Jim Lovell.
how is burning alive convenient?
You need to try Space Cowboys!
Check out "Rudy"
I always recommend The Right Stuff.. Hands down the finest film of the 80’s, and a companion piece to this film..
The Navy Captain Tom Hanks shakes hands with at the end is the real Jim Lovell.
Such a great movie.
now watch mission to mars
Great Reaction !
VH ladies.
"It's like a bullet."
Actually, the maximum velocity the astronauts reached was about 25,000 mph, about 20x faster than a 9mm bullet.
Loved your reaction! This is one of my favorite movies. I love Gene Krantz's positivity throughout. That's what kept his teams motivated and driven.
It's funny how you guys recognised Kevin Bacon from Hollow Man (of all things)
It's like seeing Robert De Niro and saying "Hey...That's the guy from Rocky and Bullwinkle!"
This morning, Friday, June 7, 2024, Bill Anders died, at age 90. He and Frank Borman were with Jim Lovell on Apollo 8, the first time human beings flew around the moon. At 4:39:39 p.m., Greenwich Mean Time, on Christmas Eve, 1968, coming around the moon in the Apollo 8 command module, he made, at age 35, the photograph that came to be called "Earthrise". About 11:40 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, today, the small plane that he was flying alone crashed into the ocean near Roche Harbor, Washington.
Virtual Hug ❤
Another awesome reaction from you two lovely ladies.
See you soon in Rocky 2.
Fun fact: Everyone knows Niel Armstrong was the first man on the moon. The second man on the moon was Buzz Aldrin. Buzz immediately peed his pants. The space suit collects it. But he got to brag about being the first man to piss on the moon.
Knowing it actually happened makes it crazier
(Virtual Hug)
If you are interested in how the space program started, there is a movie called The Right Stuff.
I really enjoy watching your videos ladies. Thank you.
✌️😊👍💕
It is true I was about 11 then and remember it well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Reality: 'Jack' Swigart was considered Fully Competent/Confident, by All of the Apollo folks.
It was only because he passed away, long before the movie was made, that the movie took liberties, and made him out as a "rookie" - along with the (fictional) Arguments/Drama, to make the film appeal to an audience. Other than that dramatization (and the course-correction, which was actually a calm, 11-second engine burn), the movie was true to the facts.
Great film!
They did not have the option to land on the moon. It simply wasn't possible once the fuel cells were turned off. Also, all 3 astronauts were in the LEM. It's specifically designed for 2 astronauts. You also need one person orbiting in the command module to dock with the LEM on the ascent.
Ron Howard was able to capture the tension we were feeling watching the events on the news. The stresses as they were reported on TV along with the joy of seeing the world come together offering prayers and help where they could.
I know astronauts are very specific type of person, I've read Neil Armstrong's biography and my grandpa worked on Apollo 11 & 12. That said, being an astronaut's wife has to be pretty difficult, not knowing whether your husband is just going to blow up. Putting myself in their shoes...I wouldn't like the knowledge that my wife could just be gone at her job.
Apart from Jack Swigert, I'll always see Kevin Bacon as Val McKee.
Many great lines in the movie, but my two favorites come from the strong Lovell Ladies!
"They can take it up with my husband. He'll be home on Friday!" and "If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it."
Virtual hug
Yep, pretty much entirely true. One of the great stories of Science. Good one, Ladies! I was born in '60, and I have vivid memories of watching these NASA missions gathered around the television with my friends and family. I remember going outside with my uncle and looking up at the moon during the lunar landing thinking that Neil Armstrong was up there walking around. An incredible feeling. And I remember the shock and despair when the space shuttle Columbia exploded on reentry in 2003. They did a great job capturing the wonder and suspense of it all in this movie, and I enjoyed rewatching and reliving it all with the two of you, Thank you for sharing this one. 🙂
They got lucky compared to the challenger and Colombia crews!
Wait a minute, Ryl! You literally CAN'T see him, as Hollow Man!
My apologies both replies are spot on. Obviously it was the oxygen. In my defense I had a couple of whiskeys and water. Sincerest apology. Now that I have shown my ass I guess I have to continue watching.
If you’re not familiar with the systems it may not have been clear, but losing oxygen is not about running out of breathable air. They had plenty. What it was is the oxygen combines with hydrogen to generate power. It’s like their batteries, which is why power was such an issue. Plus, bonus: the process generates water too!
The middle engine not working was something the rocket cope with... Apollo 6 was a unmanned flight of the same rocket (but without the moon lander, a weight dummy was used to similate the lander), where 2 of the outer engines went out... one had a malfunction and by an accidental crosswiring of the firing commands.. the wrong engine was should down... the rocket did limp into orbit, but the flight was altered because there wasn't enough fuel to do the high altitude tests it was initially configured to do.
Always dreamed to catch a launch, but I was in tears as I watched/felt the launch in this film. A friends boy noticed that but hard to explain how much it meant to me, following the space program as a kid myself.
Walking on the moon was all about the strategic installation of flags. Ohhh say can you see....
11:17 never thought seeing someone buckled into a spaceship was so funny like you do
