Bugün öğrendim ki: Apollo 13 filminin “Vomit Comet” uçağında sıfır yerçekimi ile çekildiğini, görüntüleri elde etmek için yaklaşık 600 dalış yaptılar; bu, bazı gerçek astronotların eğitim sırasında elde ettiğinden daha fazla.
After winning consecutive Best Actor Academy Awards for _Philadelphia_ and _Forrest Gump_ , Tom Hanks was nominated a third time for his role as drifting astronaut Jim Lovell in 1995's _Apollo 13_. (He did not win, proving he is human after all.) The consolation prize: the dramatization of the 1970 space program crisis that kept the world on its seat was the third highest-grossing movie of the year, and remains one of the most faithful depictions of NASA operations ever put on movie.
