When does this come out?

October 12.

They just showed the trailer during the NBA Finals game. Looks good!

Just go watch interstellar. Looks like this movie is basically the same.

If they find freaking Matt Damon on the moon, I'm leaving the theater.

I assume you are joking? If not, then besides spending some time in space, how in the heck are they similar at all?

Wow. I might actually go to the theater for this one. Have not done that in years.

Matt Damon shows up halfway into the movie and tries to sabatoge the mission...

One is about the road to being first man on the moon.


The other is about using nonexistent space technology in search of a habitable planet on the eve of earth destruction but then the ship gets stuck after Christopher Nolan read about the time-space continuum on Wikipedia and Matthew McConaughey tells his daughter from light years that... (I got up to pee and check my mesagges during this part). And then they're in a space ship.


So, yeah, seen one you've seen'em all.

Don't forget libraries and looooove.

For those who enjoyed Interstellar and or were curious about the science behind it, I recommend Kip Thorne's "The Science of Interstellar". It's quite good if you are feeling nerdy.

BTW, that first scene where they show everybody behind Armstrong freaking out rather than watching the rocket may seem contrived.. but in reality the first Saturn V launch freaked them out. Tiles were falling and Walter Cronkite started shouting that the building is shaking (and they were 3.5 miles away). Here is a video (and BTW this wasn't even at full thrust):




Edit: Actually I just noticed in the trailer that that if you look behind them, parts of the ceiling was falling.

Bucket list item for sure is to be "on scene" for a major launch.

What do you consider "major"? Have you been to a shuttle launch?

Nope. I mean anything capable of or actually carrying people.

So... like tying a hampster to a bottle rocket? That's a no?

So I've been to a shuttle launch. I was 4 miles away (near that big clock they show on TV). The thing I remember the most was it shaking my insides. It's like sitting with your back against a big speaker. Except that instead of a constant low pitch, it was a pop-pop-pop. Here is a video. Those pop noises are unbelievably loud. No video could do it justice because speakers are not capable of producing it.

And, BTW, I have been told by several people who've been to both that the Shuttle was "like a fire cracker" compared to the Saturn V.


I have always been bummed that I would never be able to experience a Saturn V launch. However, Elon Musk has announced the BFR which will be LARGER than Saturn V. So hopefully you and I will be able to scratch that off our bucket list in the near future.

Yeah I'd love to experience that. I was in Orlando in February when spacex tested their "heavy" rocket and was hoping I'd be able to see it in the distance but it didn't work out.

Bummer again. We'll both have our chance I think.

Sorry... but I'm geeking out on this.. I found another video that sorta give the impression of how loud this mofo was. When the sound reaches them (11 seconds later), you can't hear the announcer until the Saturn V is well on it's way (that loud speaker was right there in front of them and really loud):

There will likely never be engines this large used on a rocket again (at least in our lifetimes):

Good job on them. I hate those things.

What's an example of a trailer for the trailer? I'm not sure what they are talking about.

Online, almost every trailer nowadays has a five second preview of the trailer you're about to watch, just before the trailer. It's not a theatrical thing, just online, and so ridiculous. But it's apparently a "necessity" as research has shown you only have five seconds to hook your viewer before they bounce.

Seems very similar to me, even down to the marketing of the films. Both are sci-fi films that depict a man risking it all by leaving his family to go to space for the greater good of mankind...
