Actually, the original “Earthrise” photo WAS in color. Just Google AS8-14-2383

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that ALL the other planets can fit in the space between Earth and the Moon.

“I would also watch a TV show that is just Cisco and Felicity’s flubbed high five, on repeat, forever.”

I thought I was the only one who remembered Marine Boy!

It was Hudson that irked me to no end, especially in that restored scene in the Special Edition, where he goes “Hey Ripley! Check it out...” over & over.

Awww, man, thanks to that video, I can’t keep from laughing whenever I see somebody wearing Crocs!

I could only stand 20 minutes of Krysten Ritter, so it’s gonna be PKD for me.

1979 was a different time, man.

Yep, I’ve got a new favorite show!

“...the first unattractive thing about her since the hair she wore to Dig’s wedding (What was that? ...)“

It was club soda that Lance was drinking.

Watching the episode now, but had to take a time-out after this...

Yeah, if they can CGI Callista, why can’t they do the same with Melissa’s forehead scar?

Yeah, one would assume that the seat liners would be molded while the astronauts were wearing their Sokol suits.

Awwwww, I loved Kitty!

I blame John Badham’s typically awful direction.

The whole episode felt “off” to me, from the scene blocking to the editing to the cinematography, etc.

That wind-tunnel photo reminds me of an interesting factoid I picked up while reading Dennis R. Jenkins’ book on the Shuttle’s development: That the Orbiter’s shape wasn’t validated at hypersonic speeds until it returned from orbit on STS-1!

The “twang” always looked cool in IMAX films, but it always seemed like it put unnecessary stress on the SRB segments down near the bottom of the stack. Wasn’t it a contributing factor in the Challenger Disaster?
