This would make for a terrifying twist on a sci-fi movie -- they arrive back on Earth after being gone so long to find out that they forgot they had never left.

  There was an episode of The Outer Limits (featuring Wil Wheaton) in which a ship destined for Mars got turned around and accidentally destroyed Earth. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Light_Brigade_%28The_Outer_Limits%29 https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Light_Bri...

  I won't spoil it, but if you think that concept is neat, you owe it to yourself to go watch _Moon_. It's one of the best sci-fi movies I've seen in a long time. Highly recommended.

    I love Moon. I guess it's kind of the inverse of that situation :)

  Capricorn One doesn't have that twist, but it's about a fake Mars mission. I saw it when I was a kid and for some reason it made a big impact on me. (Reminder for myself: watch it again to see if it's any good). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077294/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077294/

    Having also really liked it when younger, I watched it again relatively recently, and I thought it was terrible! Stuff (music, art, films, books, whatever) that isn't very good can yet have a major impact on a person (usually a young person) if it presents, however badly, some idea they find compelling, but haven't seen portrayed before, so have nothing to compare the particular execution with.
