Countdown (1967)—a fascinating, under-the-radar space thriller that often gets overshadowed by the Apollo-era juggernauts like 2001. James Caan and Ted Knight. #HATM #Apollo13 #NASA #FilmSky #Movies #MovieSky #Film.

Random post.

I was thinking of re-watching the movie "Apollo 13" but came across this excellent video that takes a deep dive into Apollo 13.

It's just as long as the movie at 2h 20m but is excellent!

#Apollo14 launched from LC-39A on January 31, 1971. Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell performed the third crewed lunar landing, with Stuart Roosa in the CSM, high above the Moon. It was a successful return-to-flight following the #Apollo13 near-failure.

🚀 Did You Know? To recreate zero gravity for Apollo 13, the cast experienced nearly 4 hours of weightlessness by flying 612 parabolic arcs! 🌌🛰️ Science, cinema, and space—learning can be this fascinating!

🎬 Found out that #Apollo13 was on ITV towards the end of December. So I downloaded it to watch tonight.

This inspiration miiiiight be related to the book I’m currently reading 👇 which was describing some early disasters as it details the difficulty of the task.

The movie Apollo 13 is closer to the actual moon mission than it is to today.

So that we crossed that line in 2020 already.

🌑 Actual Mission (1970) ⬇️ 25 years 🎬 Movie Release (1995) ⬇️ 30+ years 📅 Today (2026)

Sorry if I just made you feel ancient. 😅

Perhaps @amyshirateitel.bsky.social mentions that factoid in her #Apollo13 video that just dropped. I've yet to watch it but I'm looking forward to doing so soon. #Spaceflight #NASA #history

Not directly comparable missions:
#Apollo8 went into lunar orbit for 10 laps, followed by a trans-Earth trajectory for reentry. #ArtemisII is a flyby with a free return trajectory, so it’s more like #Apollo13.

Ron Howard’s Strategy For Making 'Apollo 13' Realistic Ron Howard’s strategy for making Apollo 13 realistic balanced historical accuracy with powerful cinematic storytelling.

Ron Howard’s strategy for Apollo 13 focused on realism over spectacle.

It’s why the film still stands as one of the most authentic space dramas ever made. 🚀
