The reality of a lack of gun control...

[The4thEstate]

The 50th anniversary of the first moon landing is coming up in July. Can you imagine the head of NASA Mission Control telling his staff, "When calculating how to get the crew back to Earth, both approximations and precise answers are appropriate!"

Never seen the movie "The Dish" have you, 4E? Nor read anything about how they got Apollo 13 back from the moon after their accident. In both cases ("The Dish" cover Australia's contribution to Apollo 11) approximation was good enough to find Apollo 11 after it was "lost" by the Parkes Radio Telescope and to get Apollo 13 back to Earth. I'd recommend you watch both movies, you might find them educational...

What's the second movie?

Apollo 13 although while accurate, it dramatises several segments of their ordeal. The various books are better on the topic.

Well, sure ... because they're books and have tens of thousands of words to tell the story, as opposed to 2 hours and 20 minutes of screen time.
