Loved the scene when they were walking around with enema tubes... Too funny.

I've seen the film at least 3x and yet I don't remember that scene. Damn.

Anyway, magnificent movie. From a time when one could take a certain pride in a nation's accomplishments. This moon-colony and Mars-colony mumbo-jumbo is all just hot air to me. We can't even be stewards of our own planet, and yet we're going to set up permanent bases on an incredible hostile environment? One with no atmosphere and dust that's like tiny shards of sharp glass? Please.

It's not really a scene - more like a moment after one of the test flights and the way it is cropped makes it really hard to understand its exact moment.

The biggest crime this movie commits is that it doesn't feature Robert Calvert's The Right Stuff. I mean come on - this song is on point!

Lol, that song in no way, shape or form fits the aesthetic of that movie. Would have been nice in Repo Man, though.
