+Syrinx Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I like the look of this but I know I'll just end up looking for inaccuracies with hardware, jargon et al. Anything with a lunar module in it gets my thumbs up ! Quote
+FastCargo Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I don't know...I've been hearing about this movie from the rocketry side where I hang out...not good. It's kind of hard to make a Saturn V launch secret... FC Quote
+Stary Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 keeping my eye on this one, but I don't have high expectations to be honest... @FC: lol that would be quite hard indeed Quote
Slartibartfast Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 @FC very true... they make a bit of noise... will wait for DVD and then see it though... Quote
+JediMaster Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 You can't make any launch from the Cape secret. The S5 was never used for anything but Apollo and Skylab. There were no alternate S5 launch sites, just the Cape. The only possibility is saying a Skylab launch was actually 18, and that would be bizarre. It would have been long after 17, for one, and too many people are involved in a launch that none of them would've said anything for years about the fact that they didn't ready a small station but actually another lander. So while it might be a fun thing to watch, expect nothing "realistic." Quote
+Stary Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 What about it being launched from a submarine off the North Pole? it's a movie, ya know Quote
+DoctorQuest Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Geez. You guys are no fun. Next you'll be telling me Santa Claus doesn't exist. (How would NORAD track him if he didn't exist, HUH? HUH?) Quote

Caesar Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Heck, the Delta rockets and Minuteman III tests caused a helluva lot of noise miles away at Vandy, and they're not even the heavy lifters (the later being an ICBM)! Don't think a Saturn launch would be anywhere in the realm of possibility to conceal by a long shot! Not sure what to think about this one; might be a rental, but odds are I'd get frustrated with it like I do for most horror movies. Quote
+JediMaster Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I'm not saying it might not be a good thriller, just that the only people who could believe that conspiracy about another Apollo mission are those who've never seen a real launch! Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 JM, you recently had people mistaking a contrail for a launch. They'll believe anything. Quote
+JediMaster Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Yes, some are that stupid unfortunately. Quote
