Although the book was originally written as fiction during the early, single-man 'Project Mercury' days of American space exploration, the film — which was released in December 1969, less than five months after the first successful lunar landing — had its plot updated to incorporate the current three-man 'Apollo' spacecraft. And even though it was originally a fictional film about three astronauts marooned in orbit as the result of a catastrophic failure of the spacecraft's engine, it proved to be eerily prophetic with regard to the actual events that occurred barely four months later in April 1970 on board the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231307196780365662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-86603135484332170192017-09-14T12:53:31.721-04:002017-09-14T12:53:31.721-04:00Sadly, the Best Space Movies list is... sad. Wher...Sadly, the Best Space Movies list is... sad. Where<br />in the world are Outland and First Men in the Moon?<br />Spaceballs, Space Jam and SpaceCamp apparently made<br />the list only because they have the word 'Space' in<br />their titles.<br /><br />I vote that from now on, all "xx Best xx of all time"<br />lists be completed by people whose minimum age is 50.<br /><br />Of course then in this case we would had Barbarella,<br />Queen of Outer Space and Santa Clause Conquers the<br />Martians, but hey, I could live with that.<br /><br />Spaceballs, Space Jam and SpaceCamp? Seriously?gwdMainenoreply@blogger.com
