AstroRJY - 17/7/2007 6:19 PMArmageddon is the best NASA inspired movie of all time? It was a totally ficitonal impossible piece of testosternoic crap! What about Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff?!

Since the Apollo missions , NASA has become bland as entertainment goes . They are doing exciting things to a core group of people like us but for the general public , installing solar panels on a space station is as exciting as watching paint dry .

AstroRJY - 19/7/2007 3:14 AMGood Lord, what did I start? The thread was origianlly about Bruce Willis at NASA. But since we got this ball rolling, here's another movie I thought of, still much more realistic and somewhat forgotten: Clint Eastwood in Space Cowboys" from the summer of 2000 with Donald Sutherland and James Garner among others.Somewhat silly but entertaining and almost plausible, as compared to a bunch of jocks from an oil rig landing on an asteroid and nuking it.

elmarko - 19/7/2007 6:57 AMOh, don't get me wrong, it's an awful movie. Was just talking in general...Edit: relating to Armageddon, I mean.
