PRODUCTION NOTES:
At 59:00 on the timeline, Ken Franklin is out on a date at a local playhouse. In the TV Movie, the theatre is never identified, so we went with the "Curran Playhouse Theatre".
In real life - the "Curran Playhouse" (actually in San Francisco) is where the world was first introduced to Detective Columbo when the original 1962 play PRESCRIPTION MURDER was first performed on 15 January 1962, and would quickly become a popular TV movie leading to the series "COLUMBO".

It's certain that Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Sheppard's golf swing was reported by all the news outlets. However in researching this event - try as I might - I could not find any written account of the exact distance from his module. So at 1:10 on the timeline - "200 feet from his landing module" - is a total wild guess / 'shot-in-the-dark' on my part.
