With respect to accuracy: in a newspaper review, one of the people
portrayed in the movie (I forget which one) said, "It was well done.
Not very accurate, but well done. [For instance] I don't remember all
that morality stuff." (That's a quote from memory). I think the
scientists were portrayed as being more unsympathetic and more the
stereotyped 'german scientist' than they should have been. Naturally,
scenes were compressed - it wasn't THAT easy to get a window in the
nose cone of the Apollo.
