This is a great scene but a little bit of the acting is overdone. We’re Gus Grissom stands up and screams “Go hot dog, goooooo!!!!!” never actually happened and was just a dramatic flourish. Gus Grissom was very introverted and shy and probably never got that outwardly excited in public. Also the wild applause inside the control center during launch was a little hokey, overdramatic nonsense but I guess it adds to manipulate the viewer’s emotions and drum up the excitement of seeing the film. Not complaining, just saying it’s a little extra.
"In case you haven't noticed- I'm weird. I'm a weirdo; I don't fit in and I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen a ball floating in a tube for so long? That's weird."
They're the only ones squeezing the rubber tubing, I guess to reduce the internal diameter, increase the pressure of their breath, so with less air used they equal the same pressure as the other men who don't squeeze their tubes.
@@PotSmokeGuy Was gonna say... I haven't seen the film, but I have read the book, and by that account he was easily the most strait laced and nearly puritanical of them all, to the point the others resented it to some extent.
@@DodderingOldMan Although not one of the Mercury 7, Frank Borman was probably the most straight-laced astronaut of the lot. It really was just a job to him.
i wonder if ryan gossling (a canadian) bothered to watch this film before he embarrassed himself in First Man. this was an American Thing Ryan!! The world benefited, but it was and is an American Endeavor. If we didn’t decide to go to the moon, nobody goes. And nobody has since gone Ryan!!!
I had to get an annual pulmonary functions tests for my MOS in the Marines. I remember feeling like I was about to have my eyes pop out of my skull and onto the table.
All of these men claiming to be astronauts are Masons. Masons Will take a lie to the grave. The lie is space does not exist. The earth is flat and there is a dome over it. Above the dome is an ocean that’s why the sky is blue. The Dome is called the firmament (Genesis chap 1.). You can do an experiment. We were all taught in school that the earth is spinning at 1000mph. That speed is faster than a bullet. So if this is true and I jump up and leave the surface of the earth I should be in a different area. But when you jump up you land in the same spot. You said when we were in school we never questioned any of this.
Because you are already in motion moving at the same speed as the planet so you come down in the same spot. It's easy to test this - next time you are in an airliner, jump up in the aisle. Bet you come down in the exact same spot on the floor.
Stop making stuff up. Do you really believe that is water from Flint, Michigan? Seriously? Just because it’s brown? Come on. It’s clearly just colored water. If it was water from Flint, it would be on fire and would also probably be exploding. 😂
