So, you've seen the movie already?
Pre Screen bootleg.

Loved it overall.
Shit, no flag planting scene?!? That's odd...They could have just edited that scene out for the Chinese box-office if that's what they were worried about.

Otherwise I don't understand the decision. What's right is right...and I think the US can safely toot it's own horn with regards to the moon landing. Hell even Strop would agree...I think.

You see the flag in the film a few times, but not on the moon...so not editing out per se. I don't get it either, but whatever. Great movie and I will see it again in the big cinema to get the full hard on for the launch scenes.

I'd put the lack of flag planting down to growing anti-Team-America-F-Yeah sentiment globally, and wanting as wide a paying audience as possible.

I lived in Carnarvon, Western Australia for eight years, which these days is mostly noted for being one of the Big Dish communications locations for the moon landing and earlier tests. I got to know some of the men who were stationed there and on-the-job for the time arc in which the flight was tracked and managed only from that location. These old timers have nothing but praise and respect for the American launch team, often commenting on their professionalism and courtesy.

I was always a big fan of The Right Stuff. So hopefully there will be some comparable awesomeness.

I'd love to see a movie or short doco about John Glenn. He gets some props in Hidden Figures for showing respect to the women of colour calculators and went on to run the computers, and is very well known for always being an absolute gentleman and to hold equal rights. Probably wouldn't make as much money at the box office though.

The Right Stuff!

The Dish!

(at least for me, one of my favourites, even if not entirely historically accurate)

Hidden figures. As strops- A Must See movie

According to the old-timers I mentioned earlier, some of the events in The Dish occurred at the Carnarvon site - including the cricket games (which admittedly probably happened at all of the dish sites).

Incidentally, Perth is also known as The City of Lights - during the moon landing flyover the populace was encouraged by radio stations to go outside at night and shine torches up into the sky, and the astronauts reported seeing Perth as a city of lights, and the nickname stuck.

Don't know Carnarvon at all, but if nowhere has a middle it must be there.
