I just heard of this upcoming movie and thought I'd share it on PF.
As a fan of The Right Stuff and Apollo 13, I look forward to this movie. :smile:

Wow, the movie looks awesome.

It prompts the question of where's our mojo? When will we really get back there or to Mars?
 
Did you spot the scientific error at 3 seconds into the trailer? Pretty glaring, unless that observation control room was only about 1/2 mile from the launch pad... Hopefully there aren't too many more of them to turn off the nerd crowd...
 
I like how the rocket took off lol.
 
It looks so cool. Can't wait to watch it!
Thanks for the movie! :D
 
I've seen the movie now and I enjoyed it a lot!
