message: Doesn't the film seem to Imply that the Cromwell character was a Soviet Spy?  Based on his dialogue with the Russian General and the Character's general duplicity.  It never gets resolved?  Should he (Cromwell Char.) be tried for treason or something?  May in the sequal (LOL!).  Really what was Gerson's involvement?  How could the Russians steal the plans w/o Gerson's help??

message: Does anyone have a noteworthy source for an allusion to Robert Heinlein’s story “Requiem”?  The plot similarity is noted at ; the final shot bears a striking resemblance to the original illustration, Astounding, January 1940, p. 81.

message: the following trivia entry sucks on several levels:
::It took three days to travel to the moon for the Apollo missions. Hawk would not have had this much time in his suit, however, the film indicated that spare air tanks were connected to Hawk's life support gear. Additionally, the rockets used to power Hawk's flight to the moon would have been generations ahead of the Apollo rockets and could be faster. However, soft-landing on the Moon, to the extent where he could crawl over and look back at the Earth, would be impossible.

replies: text: I Agree. Especially, since a landing WOULD be possible, as long as the thrusters of the satellite could be fired up multiple times. They should provide enough thrust, because a military satellites like this would be able to make multiple major orbit changes  in a short timeframe to position and shoot its missile and avoid beeing attacked by enemy missiles (It takes much longer to track a satellite that changes orbit).

text: I know this comment was years ago, but the above user is an absolute buffoon for thinking that six nukes could actually destroy the moon. There's a lot of scientific inaccuracies in this film too. 50.89.97.148 (talk) 02:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
