* Does Mission Control really tell Launch Control "go for launch"? I bet Launch Control would be like, "gee thanks for your input, Houston".


Oh yeah, there is no Launch Control at all in the movie, is there? Lol. Houston does everything and there's no handoff. I get it, it's a movie. Ok.

But let's talk in movie terms. Shouldn't we know who the characters are? I don't think the guys hanging around Ed Harris are ever explained. One guy is sagely giving advice and another guy is sorta being a dick. They aren't technicians. As far as I can tell, they represent the other team leads (the other teams are never shown except the eecom guy that Ken works with, who should have been the actual star of the movie), and Ed Harris' mentor. Sorry I forget people's names and I'm too lazy to look.

Bang out rant, hit post!
