After the explosion on the spaceship instead of carrying onto the moon and turning round that way, why didnt they just turn the ship round there and then and head back home straight away?
Also does anybody know the name of 2 guys in the film: One of the guys is Gene's assistant? or at least I presume it his assistant as he was left in charge when Gene wasnt around!
The other one is the at the front wearing a brown suit and hes the one that mentions first of all about Gene's waistcoat thingy
Also what was everybodys favorite or funniest part of the movie? There was one scene which i found hilarious and that was in the care home with Jim Lovells mother telling everybody her son was in space and then complaining about the TV guide being wrong and what made me laugh was the look on the old ladys face next to her!
