Just watched it again to see some Omegas in action. It struck me that the movie is now 25 years old, which is just as long ago as the Apollo 13 mission was when the movie was made. Time flies!
I know this was fiction, but I remember watching Marooned with Gregory Peck many times on tv back in the 70s. It was released in late 1969. As a kid, I remember it being pretty realistic but I haven't seen it in years.
