I love how out of so many movies about moon landings, a movie about a non landing is the most famous

@yt-user03561 Ай бұрын

It was an emotional one for sure. This movie did it justice for how it must have felt to have been watching the live footage and listening to the comms at mission control. It was like bringing our troops back home from a war. A miraculous outcome for what could have been a disasterous loss of life. It was really a testiment to American leadership and ingenuity at that time.

Kevin Spacey got it for "The Usual Suspects" that year. While I love Ed Harris and thought he was fantastic in that role, Spacey hit a grand slam out of the park. He started with a pathetic creature like Verbal and turned him into who you're watching and listening to in that movie. And he's Keyser Soze. He created that character from nothing and made you believe that's who he was. He inhabited that role in every way possible. Taking nothing from Harris. But I personally feel they got that one right. Where they got it wrong, was giving the Best Picture Oscar to Braveheart. I liked Braveheart, but Apollo 13 has become part of the cultural landscape. Even for those like me who KNEW how the Apollo 13 mission turned out, the filmmakers still drew us in and had us on the edge of our seats. That takes some doing. As with all things, it's a giant JMHO.

Barbara Lovell, my classmate, spent time in her room with her Bible. This was real. This was hard. This was difficult. Thankfully, in a moment in time, tremendous heartache and agony burst into triumph and joy! What a miracle we witnessed! To this day I count my daddy and Jim Lovell as my heroes.

Klinck was confirmed dead October 7th 1985 when his remains were identified. The bracelet was sold with an envelope annotated in black felt tip by Kranz and an article on it's origin and history for $4,038 on october 15th 2020.

Ed Harris played Gene Kranz wonderfully, but I do not believe that he would have actually given the director that look in this scene. Although not named in the credits, this character represents Chris Kraft, who not only was Gene Kranz's mentor, but wrote the book on Mission Control Operations. However, again in real life, I do not imagine that Chris Kraft would have had this conversation within earshot of Gene Kranz - he was known to let the flight directors do their jobs and not hover over them.

By far my favorite line is Gene Krantz saying, "with all due respect sir I believe this is going to be our finest hour". Fucking goosebumps.

It's important to note that the computing power needed for the mission was not only contained within the spacecraft. They needed super computers on the ground for more complicated computations so the onboard computers didn't need to do all that math. Of course the super computers of the 60's were not impressive by today's standards but good enough. Going to space is not so much about computing, it's more about tremendous power and lots of fuel and on these points, not much has improved since the 60's. The Soyuz rocket first flew in 1966 and it's still produced and used by the Russians today (with some improvements).

On that day, I was sitting alone in the living room of my home in England, watching BBC science correspondent James Burke reporting on the return. The rest of the family had discreetly withdrawn. As re-entry began, James Burke said, "Now we wait," or something similar, locked his hands before him on his desk, and looked down. For some reason, I could not look away as the seconds ticked by like heartbeats... until the moment that the first words from the descending Odyssey came through. My family edged back into the living room; they had been listening on the radio, and expected to hear me shout out to them. They found me weeping tears of joy and relief.

I was 12 when all these incredible events took place, & living in Tucson, Arizona. The Apollo Space Program, was beyond written description, & as kids, we all knew the names & faces of the Astronauts. That moment of re-entry was so intense, that my beautiful Mom lit 3 candles for every one of them, & placed the lit candles next to a picture of The Virgin of Guadalupe. We were all glued to our cheap black & white TV. Waiting for reentry damn near killed me too. After that happened, I wanted to read every article out there, including many trips to the Library. We all screamed & cried out loud when we all saw the 3 parachutes deploy. To me, it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen on TV... In this movie, I relived my Life. Chills & Tears every time...
