I was just skipping through it. This film gets things right many scifi films don’t to this day. Which is astonishing, really. There was no real need for it to be this accurate. I mean, there just was no space flight, so you could just as easily have picked stereotypes about what it’s like to fly to space … it’s not like anyone (safe some scientists) would have noticed. (I love the scene with the water bottle in zero g with some nice special effects. They got the nice round water bubbles right, but didn’t quite go for space travelers catching them with their mouths. I don’t think putting those bubbles in a drinking glass would be as easy as they show it to be. But probably easier from a special effect point of view.)
