looking forward again to watch your reaction. Ron Howard is an amazing director. he worked a lot with Tom Hanks from 1984. He directed also Backdraft, A beautifull mind, The Robert Langdon trilogie (all with Tom Hanks), Rush and even a Star Wars movie Solo. I really love his work. He really knows how to get the suspence into a scene....

You guys should see Apollo 11 all real footage from the original apollo 11 fight

So a few facts for you regarding all of this. 1. The Saturn 5 rocket is still the most powerful machine devised by man. It was 363 (roughly the size of a 35 story office building) and carries a million gallons of rocket fuel. One minute after lift off the Saturn 5 would already be supersonic, it is consuming 20 tons of fuel per second and generating 7.5 million pounds of thrust. This first phase of 5 engines blast the Saturn 5 to seven times the speed of sounds, even at 40 miles high...its was still accelerating. 2. While it adds good drama to the movie, there is no evidence to support that there was tension between the any of the crew. The scene in which they are all arguing is most likely poetic license as Jim Lovell himself said that never happened. 3. Speaking of Jim Lovell, he makes a cameo in the movie. He plays the Captain of the aircraft carrier at the of the movie. (You see him saluting Tom Hanks) 4. The scene with the men at mission control sleeping on the floor is also accurate. Many of the men were so invested and determined to solve the growing list of problems and issues that they never left the complex. 5. The weightless scenes were filmed in what is know as the "Vomet Comet" lol. It refers to a NASA program that introduces astronauts to the feeling of zero-gravity spaceflight. Recruits climb aboard a specially fitted aircraft that dips and climbs through the air to simulate the feeling of weightlessness in 20- to 25-second intervals. The downside? The sudden changes make a lot of astronauts feel ill. Very, very ill. Hence the tongue-in-cheek name. This is one of my favorite movies and I am so happy you had the chance to watch and react to it. I get goosebumps every time I hear some of the lines..."We've never lost an American in space we sure as hell arent going to lose on on my watch, failure is not an option!" Again loved the reaction, keep the great content coming!!

I think the comment was made that by the time filming wrapped, those three actors had more time in zero-g than any astronaut cared to. Of course, that was before the ISS, so I doubt that's true anymore.

There are some things here that might seem like Hollywood embellishments, but actually happened, Marilyn's ring, for example (she got it back, by the way). There were apparently a LOT of strange things surrounding this mission, like one instance of someone's car just catching fire outside the Vehicle Assembly Building where the Apollo 13 rocket was being put together. A fun little bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2kOMm8p4C8

The Martian is another good space movie. It's not based on real events like Apollo 13 but the science in it is pretty realistic for Hollywood. Another few Ron Howard movies to watch are Parenthood, A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon and Backdraft. Of these movies, Backdraft is probably my favourite. If you're looking for more on what NASA was like during the space race, watch From the Earth to the Moon. Like what Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg did after Saving Private Ryan in creating Band of Brothers, Hanks and Ron Howard created this after Apollo 13. It's a 12 episode mini series that they did for HBO that runs from the first men in space to the last Apollo mission in 1972. A lot of the same people that worked on Band of Brothers also worked on this one and it's really well done.

Excited to hear you might be watching more Ron Howard films, he's got a great filmography. This is probably my favorite of his I'll say, but a few other favorites of mine are from the 80s, a comedy with Michael Keaton, "Gung Ho", and a cute and funny, I guess it might be considered dramady, "Parenthood", with Steve Martin. And he also directed "In The Heart of the Sea"; which was based on the true story of the whaling ship Essex, which inspired Herman Melville to write "Moby Dick", which in turn inspired Steven Spielberg to adapt a novel also based on it, into "Jaws". I was going to suggest as space exploration themed movies "Interstellar" but I think you've reacted to it already. " The Martian" is great. I would recommend "The Right Stuff" because it's very well made for its time and it's about the early US space program, and it's entertaining; but it's pretty long and I'm not sure if it would make for a good reaction. "Moon" is a good little indie type flick with Sam Rockwell, who was also in "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which reminds me of "Galaxy Quest" just because of the name, both are great though 👍

THE MARTIAN! It's fictional and based on more current/hypothetical technology; but on all accounts it seems to be extremely realistic as to how the situation would occur. The one gripe I have with it is gravity on Mars seems to be the same as Earth in the film, but other than that it's very close to another Apollo 13

I’m trying to swear off Google and rely on my fellow man... How big a difference is it? Makes sense, Mars is smaller.

Galaxy Quest, I saw it but remember little. At the time it didn’t really leave an impression, but appearently I wasn’t paying attention because I recently watched a documentary that clearly showed it’s awesome.

I agree, The Martian is a great movie, the second in the “Matt Damon: Lost in Space” trilogy*. I would also suggest Gravity (Bullock, Clooney) but I WON’T because I want you to react to The Big Lebowski so I’m not going to keep adding to your list. *title and date tbd

Oh, see “The Right Stuff”! What a thrill — that one is amazing. Don’t be put off by its length. It tells a giant of a story, about the beginnings of the NASA manned space flight program. Very much what you said you'd like to see: based on real life, about the technical and human challenges they all faced -- the pilots, astronauts, scientists, and their families. It's largely accurate (with one main controversial exception). Terrific cast, led by an impossibly handsome and intense Sam Shepard. (About Shepard: In addition to being a profound and charismatic actor, he was also a genius author, a director, a musician, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. Nobody should be trusted with that amount of talent. It's just not fair.) The rest of the cast includes Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey, Scott Glenn, etc, etc. Lots of amazing actors you’ve seen before.

You should consider following NASAs social media. They have YouTube and Twitch channels and stream fairly regularly. You can see anything from SpaceX launches and landings (INSANELY COOL to watch a booster take off with mounted cameras, detach, and then land. You can watch from start to finish), ISS spacewalks and they also live-streamed the Perseverance landing on Mars which you can find on Nasa dot gov or YT.
