    Chappaquiddick occurred just 2 days before the first lunar landing. So you’d think the Film producers would get the Moon right for July 18, 1969. Kennedy sees it full, but the actual phase was a 4-day old waxing crescent that set long before the midnight tragedy. I’m just saying.

        You want to talk about scientifically inaccurate movies? Don't start me on 'Deep Impact' And as for 'Armageddon'... Well, let's just say Bruce Willis isn't on my Xmas card list ☄

        One of my favorite questions from when “Armageddon” was in theaters: Wouldn’t it have been easier to teach astronauts to drill rather than teach a ragtag group of drillers to be astronauts?

        Ben Affleck apparently said that to Michael Bay during production, and was told to shut up.

        Honestly, given the limited time frame and the relative complexity of the operation of a drilling rig, it's not that ridiculous to have a mission specialists. Now, what business did Sandra Bullock have making repairs to a satellite as a medical engineer, that's a better question.

        Ok but it still seems like a tiny detail of the movie that probably would be missed by most movie goers & not something that would have an impact on the story

        Also Easter eggs in media have little or zero to do with the plot. Yet they're some of the most analyzed parts.
