The craziest thing about this movie, it's almost all real. A few dramatic takes, but almost all of the information is accurate to how they got in to their situation, and how they got out of it. Insane.
I was 6 years old when Apollo 8 orbited the moon on Christmas eve, and Jim Lovell read from the book of Genesis, with the earth in the distance. A year and a half later, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, and I remember watching Neil & Buzz descending the ladder and stepping on the moon, on live TV (in very fuzzy black and white.) And I remember Apollo 13, and the way the entire world waited and wondered if the astronauts would make it home. Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris in the movie) did an amazing job of directing the hoards of engineers to solving the problems until they were home. He later wrote an amazing book, "Failure is not an Option!"
I'm from West Virginia, if you watch October Sky, the gentleman who engineered the ability to shoot rockets upward, is from McDowell County about 12 miles from me. Homer Hickman and friends discovered the ability to travel upward back in the late 40's early 50's based on a true story.
The wife actually did lose her wedding ring in the shower that day; they didn't make that up for the story.
Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise are also in The Green Mile, another great Tom Hanks movie!
The perfect companion movie to this is "The Right Stuff".
The Right Stuff is another great space docudrama about NASA's earlier Mercury program. Ed Harris is in it as well.
Marilyn got her ring back, btw. The motel called a plumber and they tore the pipes apart until they found it. 🙂
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE! This movie came out when I was 5 and I saw it a few years later. Top Gun made me want to be a fighter pilot. Apollo 13 made me want to be an astronaut.
Your eyes speak volumes. You feel this. This makes you special in my eyes.

In reality Jack Swigert literally wrote the manual on CM operations. He wasn't a "rookie." That, and the argument scenes were Hollywood enhancements. In the real world, the three astronauts were cool & collected the entire trip. Most folks would find that unrealistic, hence the arguments to humanize them.
I remember this.
This was not just a movie, it was absolutely a true story. The entire world was holding its breath during those six days. If there was ever a movie where it was okay to cry, it was this one.
You are so sweet. Don't be ashamed to cry! This movie hits all of us.
What a perfect movie to react to after reading today about NASA releasing new images from the James Webb Space Telescope. It shows the deepest images of the universe our eyes have ever witnessed. Perfect timing Addie. 🌕🌜⭐🌍
This is the most accurate space movie of all time. It's basically exactly how space operations are done. They give too big of a role to the astronauts in finding and solving problems (especially Ken), but it is a small quibble.
This is a great film. Even a space nerd like me that knows the outcome, they did an awesome job building the suspense and tension.
Another Tom Hanks gem!
Addie, it was good to see you learn about this significant mission.
